She's a swingin

Feels Good

The other day while at Freddy's, we were standing at the deli and this lady was staring, and I mean STARING, hard at my children, it's like she was lost looking at them. I finally locked eyes with her and she apologized and told me my children were just absolutely beautiful.

that little sentence made my day

my kids ARE BEAUTIFUL

it also made me feel good about myself. I do not get these compliments about myself and to hear someone say that about my kids, that I created, just makes me feel good. 

I told this story to my friend, and she asked me if I ever think that I am beautiful."Do I look at my children and see what looks they got from me, that I find beautiful in them, do I find beautiful in myself.?"

up until she asked me that, no, I really don't think about it. I know what certain body parts they got from me, but I find it adorable on them but don't relate that to myself. 

It does feel good however knowing that people think my kids are beautiful, and that makes me feel a little beautiful to :)

Planning Ahead

Lately I have been thinking about what to do for Michael's 2nd birthday. I am such a procrastinator so I am doing my best to get my ideas laid out and start to get things done before his big day. We are going to have his birthday party at officers row in the park. I wanted it to be out in the open so he can see and hear airplanes; since this is his favorite thing. We recently went there and spent most of an afternoon and that boy got so excited anytime he saw or heard an airplane(this only got me excited for his party). I have some cute ideas I found searching around on google. I am excited to start creating his airplane themed party, even more excited that come October 14, I am officially going to have a 2 YEAR OLD! 

I LOVE

I LOVE

That my son is getting to an age where he can be on his own and listen to my requests

That Michael is able to help me pick up his toys, open the gate, get into his car seat, close doors, the list goes on and on

Michael giving Shelby kisses at random times and that he is so concerned when she cries

That my son is not Jealous of his Little sister

How excited Michael gets when there is a airplane in the sky, especially small personal planes 

When Michael and Landon play together, oh the giggles and tail wags :)

When Shelby looks at me with a watchful eye and just cracks into a HUGE GRIN

That my husband works so hard to support our family, even though we are separated from one another most of the time.

The cool summer nights

I love being a wife and mother

The simple things in life are the best of life, and life is good :)

"Feel the love growing inside of me"

Beyonce's performance was at the MTV video music awards was just neat. When she opened up to the song by wanting everyone to stand on their feet, and then saying "I want you all to feel the love that I feel growing inside of me". I immediately thought, what is she pregnant?

Her song that she sang was just so fun. It just makes you want to get up and dance and makes me just want to sing my heart out. It just puts you in a happy mood and she sang it with such soul and passion. It was just a great song with a great performance

The end was the best part though. Dropping the mic and revealing that baby bump of hers was such a great way to announce her pregnancy. I love the feedback she received from the crowd too. 

 I liked it and just wanted to share.

Papa

I was trying to get Michael to say grandpa but he just wasn't having it. He just kept saying Papa. I guess Grandpa will just have to be called Papa and I am OK with that. I call my dad, dad but pops a lot too, so Papa is only befitting for him. Enjoy the video pops!

Laughs

My sweet children.

They melt my heart

Just turn it into mush

My son has the best giggles 

and my daughter has the sweetest smile

I love being their mom
