Mother's Day 2012

Mother's Day was AMAZING! My boys spoiled me and loved me to pieces from the time I got up until my eyes closed that night. I LOVE being a Mama and feel so blessed that I have been given 2 beautiful, healthy baby boys to raise! Being a Mom is unlike anything you can explain and it changes every piece of who you are and what is important in life. It has taught me a million lessons in the 4 short years I have had so far and it has made me laugh and cry on a daily basis. It is sometimes an underappreciated role and my boys did an incredible job of reminding me how much they do appreciate me!! I woke up to this set up in our living room! I wanted a lounge chair for the backyard and since it was raining out Craig made the perfect indoor setup - lol!

Chase gave me his gifts from school!

The boys gave me lots of sweet gifts but my favorite was the list Chase read to Craig of why he loves me :)

After a yummy homemade breakfast, complete with mimosas, we headed to the aquarium downtown...

Chase fascinated by the sharks!

Sweet Brady...

That night we met up with all the in-laws at Jill's house and had a great night camera free :) I love being a Mama and had such an amazing Mother's Day!

House of Boys!

I don't know what most people's homes look like at night - but this is pretty typical for us.....

Craig's 31st!

Last week the love of my life celebrated his 31st year! I love this man to pieces and am thankful he was brought into my life. He is an amazing husband, Daddy, friend, supporter, joker and partner in crime. We started the celebrations last Sunday with some baseball and dinner with the whole family. Playing baseball was so fun - the kids loved it and Brady was fenced in - which was amazing for us! Lol

After some baseball we headed back to Craig's parents for a great dinner outside followed by cake and ice cream!

On Craig's actual birthday, May 3rd, we had a nice quiet family night at home celebrating and loving our Daddy and hubby. We played outside, BBQ'd, opened presents and had the most AMAZING oatmeal cake ever! I will post the recipe soon!

Happy 31st Craig - it's gonna be a great year!

Daddy & Son

Last week Brady climbed into Craig's lap as he was fixing the boys Lightning McQueen big wheel and I just thought it was super cute and had to snap a picture.

I feel like I haven't been taking very many photos of everyday life lately so am trying to get better :)
