Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day came and went but the memories will be memorable.

We had dinner at my sister Alana’s house – the food was scrumptious, the desserts were so tasty and the company was bliss.

Joe’s Aunt & Uncle were in town to be with Tutu – They surprised her. It was so cute.

What a blessing it is to be a Mother, to have a Mother – to experience Motherhood.

Even if you don’t have children, you are a Mother. You could be a Mother to a child who is in your life or

you could even be a Mother to a friend. That instinct is hard wired into us. There is no denying it.

Happy Mothers Day!

iPhone Photos

 

I just realized this afternoon that I have a bajillion photos on my iPhone that I post frequently on Facebook but never on my blog. So here are a few, random photos. Enjoy!

 

This is Enoch @ the Zoo riding a carousel for the very first time.

Of course he is riding the Baby Elephant, duh.

I’ve been in a reading mood lately. Since Travis has come into this world, I have read more books in his 1 year of life than I have in my lifetime. I have always loved reading, its just relaxing and I feel so refreshed after reading. I’m a self proclaimed book nerd.

My sweet, sweet, husband has been so patient with my hobby. He will be the first to tell you that, when I pick up a book, I do not put it down until I finish it and the world around me completely disappears. This is where the kids come in; Enoch knows that when Mommy is reading her book, he could most likely get away with murder. He has yet to push it that far but he has managed to get into some pretty interesting situations while my nose is buried in a book. Now that I have two kiddos, sometimes the messes double but for the most part, Travis is sleeping when I do most of my reading.

Today has been a fun “mess”. I fixed Enoch and I some lunch, since Travis was snoozing, and was finishing up eating and reading my book at the table when I hear Enoch behind me in the kitchen…

Enoch: Hmm, hmm, look at it! Its so shiny and clean!

-I’m thinking, shiny and clean, sure. So I read on…’”Stunningly pretty? Her?” Pansy Parkinson had shrieked the first time she had come face-to-face with Hermione after Rita’s article had appeared.’

Enoch: Oh, that is just so dirty. I’m going to clean it now. Oh its so nice when its clean!

-What is he going on about? ‘”What was she judging her against – a chipmunk?”’

SO – I finally PUT THE BOOK DOWN, turn around, and find Enoch WASHING dishes in the sink. No joke, he’s WASHING the DISHES. Hilarious. And to my shock and horror, he hasn’t gotten an ounce of water or soap on the floor. My sweet, sweet boy. Love you Enoch.

 

 

 

easter was awesome

Todd & Olivia and their five children were in town, my sister Alana with her kids: Hayley, Jackson, & Eli, along with Hayley’s boyfriend Jacob and Alana’s husband Sean came. We also had Joe’s Uncle & Aunt, Clyde & Shami with their three boys and my Dad. It was a full house but a fun one. My Mother wasn’t able to make it because she was really sick. She was missed and we definitely took plenty of pictures for her.

Here are just a few. Enjoy!
