Hello!

I think we should enter her in a cake eating contest..what do you think?

I think I might of taken over 500 pictures in the last week. I love my new camera. To bad it sucks batteries like I'm sucking down my glass of wine (I love wine). I decided instead of trying to post a million pictures I would make a slide show.... Maybe I'll post a few that are my favorite.

We have been having fun here- our memorial day weekend was wonderful! The weather was G-R-E-A-T! We headed to the zoo on Monday! Something- I know we will be taking advantage of this summer!

Kierstin decided to take big bird outside today. What fun he must of had.. going down the slide, she pushed him in the swing. She even tried to get big bird to drive the "boat" wheel on the swing set.. and had him look threw the binoculars. I got a kick of watching her carry him around to one toy to another. Big bird even got to ride the remote control car. Wow- what a lucky stuffed animal. I guess he did end up getting run-over by Kierstins dora fourwheeler. Not so lucky there. She got a kick out of daddy throwing big bird up in the air and catching him. (something that jamie does with kierstin often). I think she liked seeing big bird getting tossed.. more than being tossed herself!

I was really planning on blogging more. But, our computer is dumb. Very slow.. it took me awhile to get the pictures on here. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Muah!

I got my new camera!

Flowers from Jamie- our 3 year anniversary was yesterday!

I got my camera in the mail today... I love it! I'm not sure how to use it yet though.. but isn't that what the auto option is for?

Well- it's pretty busy around here... gotta go. I'll blog more later!

Hi (insert your name here)!

Someone had once mentioned to me that they were not able to leave comments on our blog. I checked it out.. and changed the settings...... so it should work now.

Today- after getting out of the bathroom with one of the kids. I found Kierstin on top of the counter digging in the animal cracker container. She looked right at me and made a monkey sound... and then said "yummy yummy". I'm not really sure how she got up there... I'm assuming she pulled the chair over and climbed right on up. That's our chooch for ya.... a climbing little monkey!

Kierstin went on the potty twice yesterday! She was pretty proud of herself.. and I was pretty proud of my little girl too! I put some undies on her and later on she peed her pants. But right before she went she told me "POTTY"... and then peed. So she knew what was about to happen. I'm not going to push it on her though.. she is still young. Although, I might get her some pull-ups. She might think those are pretty neat!

Happy Mothers Day!... a little late

I have no picture from yesterday... we are still without a camera :( I had a great Mothers day! Kierstin colored me a picture with daddy and gave it to me Sunday Morning. Jamie was such a great guy throughout the day... cleaning for me... going and getting me things.. While I just sat around and did basically nothing :o) I like Mothers day!

I was thinking yesterday... It's hard to remember what it was like before I was a mom? (This pretty much sums it up) I know I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. Now I like to go to bed by nine on the weekends! I brushed my hair every day- now it's thrown in a pony tail almost daily. Before I was a mom... I cleaned my house more.. I never tripped over toys laying around everywhere.. even the bathroom.. or basement! Before I was a mom.. I had never been puked on.. pooped on.. spit on.. chewed on.. or even peed on! I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night. I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could give shots!! I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my lifeso much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom as much as I do! I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important. I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.....

So to all the Mommys out there... Happy Mothers day! (I know it's a day late) Actually, happy Mothers day to everyone.. we all mother each other in some way.

Loads of Love!
