Then this week should be measuring for granite, getting lights hung and hopefully bath/ kitchen fixtures soon.

Mother's Day 2011

Wow, can't believe I will be celebrating my 5th Mother's day tomorrow! I can barely remember the days before motherhood, just moments. I can not imagine any day without being a mom now.
Today I got an amazing surprise Heirloom. I was given a ring that was Nanny's from Nana to treasure forever. Since I don't Live close to my side of the family I became close to Wade's grandparents, especially over the last few years. With them both passing with in the last 6 months, it has definetly made me looks at life differently. Trying to slow down and only worry about the small things that make life worth it, versus the big stuff that can make life no fun!!! Yep I am trying to do the opposite of the " don't sweat the small stuff", i think it is the small stuff is what makes people happy and feel loved! It doesn't matter what kind of car, house or clothes you have, but it does matter that you read to your little ones, take them to the park and eat sandwiches or cereal for dinner vs. cooking because you skipped the park with them to cook...... Enjoying more of each other with the simple things..... I love my family and and some blessed! Thank you God for allowing me to be a Mommy to Two amazing kids that melt my heart and to have the family I have. I love them to the moon and back........

Happy Easter!!!

Hope everyone had a BLESSED EASTER!!
WE had a quick morning, but a great one!! Started off sleeping in!!! Yes sleeping in at our house is 745!! The kids woke when daddy got home from work, which i was glad because i would have hated him missing the kids first look at their easter baskets!! So the kids ran to see if the Bunny had visited, yes indeed, not sure how the bunny was at your house, but ours was a little messy, spilly milk, leaving carrot nibbles all over the floor and table, and then dropping m & m 's and Jelly beans all over the floor.
THe kids liked the floor mess because it lead them to their hidden baskets and then to a back yard easter egg hunt!! Let the sugar rush begin!!!




Lets see what the Easter bunny delivered!


So happy she found an egg, and its PINK!!
Toy story truck and bubble bath, couldn't be any happier at this moment!




Ok so now, we must convince the kids to eat quickly, brush teeth, get church clothes on and out the door within..... the next 40 mins.... whew!! we made it to church by only missing the opening song.... After an amazing Service we headed to Nana's, made a lunch plate for Mama and dressed the kids for outside fun and they are off to play as mamma is off to work and daddy is catching some zzzz's from the night shift.

Daddy sending us off to church, he had to work nights, so he will nap while we go to church and then its mommy's turn to go to work for the night.....

Tyler giving the bunny a dumptruck ride! LOL


I made it to work with a minute to spare, and I have already felt like i have worked all day, as i take over my first case and sit in a chair and take a quick breather i finally realize how sore i am from all the yard work and cleaning i had done the night before!!! Glad the day went fast at work, hope the night slows down in the sleepy land and doesn't require me to leave my call room too much, but it is what it is..... I am grateful for work and grateful that i had the morning to spend with my family celebrating JESUS!! THank you for Being My SAVIOR~~

just because

Tyler Loves his new room, playing in the closer and loves the large pile of sand out front to play in, we might have to get another delivery before move in day to keep him occupied and happy!!
Ashley checking out her view from her new room


Climbing out side, love how the wind is blowing her hair, it is always a mess, but at least this time the mess looks cute! She hates to have her hair brushed and hates bows,clips or anything that restricts her hair.....
H e LLOOOOOOO.....
Ashley and Tyler being sweet and silly
Big boy just turned 4! Amazing how fast you have grown!
