Happy Mother's Day



    Being a mom is definitely a hard job.  You think you know what you are getting into, you read all the books, you go to all the classes the hospital offers. You think you are ready.  But, nothing. Nothing can prepare you for being a mom.  It is the best, and hardest thing you will ever do!!
    I am blessed enough to have a great husband to raise my children with.  My mom wasn't.  She raised us on her own.  We didn't live a easy life, but she always made the best of it.  I don't know how she did it, I have help and most days i am counting the seconds until bedtime.  She went to college full time, and worked countless jobs to make sure we never did without.  I never understood how hard she worked until I had my own.  I am so blessed to have her as my Mom.  She is one of my best friends, and is always there to give me advice,  or just listen to me vent and complain.  She made me into the mom I am today!!  So Mom, thank you for all you have, and continue to do for me.  I love you so much!



    Without her guidance I don't know if I could ever keep up with my Fab Four.  They are beautiful, loving, energetic, artistic, and a little crazy some of the time.  But they are mine, and I am so proud to be their mommy.
    Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there today!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

      Today the love of my life hit a little milestone know as the big  3 0.  Yes he is thirty, and that is very, very, old! (according to the kids)  All day they have asked him questions like, "Daddy are you really, really old now?", and "are you going to die cause you are so old?"  They have cracked me up, but with me turning 30 next year I know he is not going to let me enter my thirties gracefully!
      We made his favorite dinner, tacos of course, and then a red velvet cake complete with homemade cream cheese icing.  This year I let the kids make him a banner instead of buying him a card.  They loved making it, and he said he never want a store birthday card again, so I think he liked it as well.
      Happy birthday Jeremy, we love you!!
