My Mother's Day

It's hard not to post about a day like today. Mother's Day. This was my third one as a Mom to my sons Alex and Evan and I think it was the best so far.

The day started out with Eric and the boys giving me my gift and cards. Alex and Evan signed their card and made one from scratch on top of it. Priceless. Eric got me a beautiful card and an amazing gift. A Nikon Digital SLR Camera. It is beautiful. I used it a bunch already today. So expect a lot of photos in this blog now! Even more than before!

My Mom, My Sister Kristy, her boyfriend Patrick, My Niece Layla and Nephew Laken all came over for breakfast this morning. The weather was gorgeous so we spent all morning outside. After a short nap, Eric and I took the boys to the park, but the trip was cut short when everyone got hungry. We went to dinner as a family.

Eric had to run to CVS, so he took Evan and Alex and I shared my favorite moment of the day: eating ice cream out of the carton! I think he enjoyed it more than I did. It was sweet!

Motherhood is challenging, stressful, happy and joyful. There are good days and bad days but at the end of every single one, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am blessed to have two beautiful boys who I love more than anything and I know feel the same about me. I am also thankful to have an amazing Mom myself and a pretty awesome Mother in Law as well. Life is good.

Evan's Activity Day

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending Evan's Parent Activity Day at school. We worked at different stations together. It was so much fun and I am so thankful that I am able to be a part of these moments with my boys. Here are some pictures from the event.

Spring Break

I am really far behind in my blogging, so I do apologize.

Spring break was last week and although we didn't travel far, we managed to do a few fun things all the while having the flu. :(

I took the boys to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time and they had a BLAST! We cannot wait to go back.

Evan asked for a Picture with Casey

We met up with Cousins for lunch one day. We went to A&W in Ortonville (no pics) and then came back to the house to play for a bit. I only managed to get 2 pics of the 4 kids together. My Niece Layla and Nephew Laken and of course Alex and Evan!

The weather was somewhat nice throughout the week and we were able to play outside a bit as well as go to the park. When we got there, they put in a whole new playground - which was great! The boys loved it! Alex looked so small in the swing but he had a ball!

We were lucky to be able to do what we did and we made the best of the week. Still waiting for warmer weather! The boys have spring fever!!

Fun Filled Friday w/Friends

Today was an awesome day!!! This morning we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at Alex's school. It was for all preschool aged kids - so we invited our friends Blake and Casey. The rain held off long enough for us to be outside. There were 1000 eggs!! Plenty for all of the kids to get a basket full (or in our case) a bucket full. All four boys got a bunch of candy!!

After the Egg Hunt, we took the boys to the mall to play and have lunch. We all had a really nice time and it was a great distraction on a rainy day. We have even more fun stuff planned next week over spring break. Can't wait!!!

Photo Friday

Here are some pics of the boys earlier this week enjoying the some what warm weather. It was nice enough to get us out of the house for a bit. They had a ball!!
