This made me HAPPY!!!

O.K., so honestly, today was kind of a rough day.  I didn't get much sleep last night and everything seems harder when 'no sleep' is in the equation.  BUT.  I can honestly say THIS made me happy today.  

We love our Sunday walks.  And having birds to feed is a bonus--well, for most of us.  Z-man is terrified! :)

oh, and it's funny to watch Meg.  She would throw a piece and then eat a piece... She had no fear! :)

Summer is in the AIR!!!

It was fun to get outside today and let the kids play in the water.  We put the sprinklers under the trampoline and they had fun jumping in the water! :)  Meg loved to do bummers and get a second bounce out of it.  Log and Z-man passed the ball back and forth.  And J had fun too (once she flushed the sunscreen out of her eye.  ..  :(   )  I don't know what it is, but I LOVE watching my kids play outside.  I don't know if it's because I enjoy the outside or if it because I played outside ALL the time as a kid, but I LOVE when my kids play outside and explore.  :)

J had her Spring concert for school! She has really loved learning the recorder this year. She learned a few extra songs and had a great time. :) She is such a WONDERFUL girl. She really had fun as you can see performing her concert!! ;)

Mother's Day

Mother's day is a special day.  I love to think of my own mom and how much I love her.  I love thinking of all the great things we've done together or talked about.  I love how supportive she has always been and how much patience and love she exhibited while teaching a very active, loud, tom-boy.   

I love my own children.  I love that they were so excited for Mother's day.   I have learned many lessons in life and being a mom is definitely an on-going lesson to learn, but I try each day and hope I'm doing things right.  

Also, a big shout out to D.  He helped the kids make cards, serve me, showed them how to treat me special.  :)  He really is the best for me!!

I sent this picture to the Grandma's for Mother's day this year.  :)  It's my favorite.   

 Another cute  one.

And THIS, people, is a picture of my true kids!!  They make me laugh!

And, I had to add this one because it made me laugh.  Everyone wanted their picture taken by themselves and Meg sat down and pulled this face for her picture... LOL  I think I should put it on the wall! :)

It's a slurpee kind of day!!

Oh,  the love of a slurpee!!!!  :)
