This little boy

-melts my heart into putty.


-is SIX.(how did that happen?!)


-made me, from just a silly 19 year old girl, into a mama.


-is testing his boundaries these days.


-is amazingly smart and adaptable.


-was MADE, srsly people, MADE to be a big brother. (God totally knew Mason needed to be the oldest boy- he takes it all in stride)

Mason, 
I am blessed to be your mama. I was SO young when I gave birth to you. You and I have been through much- it was just you and I for such a long time. Now our house and family has grown and you have taken on each new addition with so much patience and love. You have a heart of gold and I adore watching you interact with others- especially your brothers. You are loved by everyone that meets you-you have such a sweet spirit. These past 6 years have been a joy. I love you to the moon and back. 


Mama

Can I go back to bed?

I slept 3 hours last night. Woke up to a disgusting head cold. Matt is still gone. My kids are needier than ever today.

So to keep my kids happy and quiet(my head will thank me) I  fully plan to placate them with the following movies:

And come sweet, glorious naptime- you will find me watching:

you know, cause I am a complete and total nerd. 

That's right and PROUD of IT!

PLAYTIME!

I miss Matt.

I don't even remember how I was ever a single mom. I know I did it AND did it well, but it's amazing how quickly your normal can change. Thankfully, it's only 4 days that he is gone and one is already over.
 

The weather is BEAUTIFUL today! The baby is napping, Mason is at school and I am off to play in our awesome backyard with this handsome guy:

Uh! Love this little boy more than I knew you could ever love someone.

New Worlds

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. - Anais Nin

                        I love how Theo is smiling up at Jenni!



Some old(and wonderful)friends, Jessi and Jenni stopped by last week( scared the bejesus out of me, I might add!) and made my heart happy.


  There is nothing like good             
                   friends. 

Ahhhhh.....

It sure is good for the soul to spend time with your family. This has been SUCH a lazy, non-productive, weekend, just hanging out and spending time together.  But needed...especially because-

Matt is headed off for a business trip in the am to this lovely place:

He will be gone FOUR days! Sob!






I know it's only four days, but I love my guy, and I am going to miss him soooo much!

I have some fun stuff planned for when he's gone though- playdates, a Moulin Rouge ladies night with  dinner and wine!, and some adventures with my boys.

And just because my baby is bursting with squishycheeksooeygooeydeliciousness, here you go:

                                                    
                                          Yup. You're welcome.
