Things I want to remember

Ever since Grayson was born I have noticed that time with a child moves at warp speed. It goes to fast and I wake up most days saying how is it that I have an (almost) 14 month old.

This little boy made me Momma. He showed me that I'm stronger than I ever thought I could be. He proved to me that my heart can grow and love someone more than I ever though possible. He has brought me to tears (both good and bad). But most of all he has made my life so so amazing. And the way I feel today I don't want to forget it. My heart is full of so much love and joy and I feel so blessed.

I want to remember................

The way he smiles at me from the backseat! It makes me so happy riding home with him and seeing that grin!

How sometimes he plays so hard that he just crawls up on me and fall asleep mid morning. This is what makes my heart so full.

Or how when he wakes up from his nap and we snuggle on the couch and he just falls back asleep for a little bit on Mommas lap.

How he tries really hard to figure out what the heck I'm doing with my phone in his face all the time. This is is new thing to do and I love it so much. I also love his baby arm rolls and bubble mohawk in the tub.

How he thinks he can drive already and that he loves my keys more than alllll the toys he has

How he will lay and babble this book out loud to me for the longest time.

How if I turn around for .2644654 seconds to grab his shoes he does this. (we now have a gate on the stairs because boy was sooooo fast)

How he loves to rock on that horse so hard that he falls off the back and he thinks its so funny

How curly and crazy his hair is after a nap

How he has already mastered the selfie and I die over those teeth of his

How he can go serious in a flash if he doesn't want his picture taken.
How we can be in a crowd of family and as soon as he hears my voice he wants Momma and that just makes my Momma cup of love so full!

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets! Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review. Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
