These past few weeks

There are plenty of other things that I leave out in between all the other major going ons in our lives.  There is just never enough time in the day to write it all out.   The whole point of doing this blog was to document our families lives and our kids lives and milestones. So far I am doing a crappy job of it!   But I have taken a moment from time to time to go back through and look back at all the fun and happy moments we have had together and even reading through my pregnancy with the twins. I am so glad I have documented most all of that.  I have so many pictures stored but don't share them all.  I have thousands upon thousands of them!  

So for now here is some more random things that can somewhat fill in the blanks of what we have been up to.

My Grandpa ended up having a triple bypass a few weeks ago.  At 83 years old he recovered very quick and is still recovering nicely at home.  He isn't very happy about not driving and having to take it easy and leaving his tractor parked. He loves to farm and loves to be busy. It is in his blood. Bless him, we just love our Grampy!!!

Austin started up t-ball again this year and wow what a difference from last year! A lot more focused and he has gotten so much better with catching and hitting.  That kid has a strong arm! He is super excited to be playing again this year and says that he can't wait to play regular baseball with NO Tee next year!   I keep telling him if he wants to do it, then it will require a lot of practice all year long.  He has agreed to practice more!

With all the nice weather we WERE having we did get to enjoy a bunch of time outside enjoying sunshine and the kids were all playing nice together. Bummer we have had to go back to some rain.  Praying the sun will make a come back soon!

These are just some random photos from the past couple months, and some of my favs of my kids just being kids. Some of these photos show just how much they all have a bond with each other and how close the twins are with one another.  There is nothing like a twin bond. Of course the first year I might have stated otherwise when they wanted nothing to do with one another.  I pray to God everyday that they will all 3 will have a tight knit relationship with one another and will always look out for one another.

 

 

 

 

So there you have it!  For now.  Now if only the sunshine would come back!  Now off to tend to a sick little man. I am tired of this cold/flu virus that keeps going around. So much for getting all the kids their flu shots this year. This is the 2nd time it's hit our house in 2 months.

 

 

May happenings and random things

I am kicking it in high gear with my ChaLEAN Extreme program.   I am on week 6 and loving the new muscle forming and can't wait to see the end results. My body has taken on a bit of a different shape and I have to say I am loving it!!  These twins have forever changed my stomach and I will always be a work in progress.  Working out is a way of life now and I love every single second of it!

 And special thanks to my hubby for buying me some special adjustable weights.  My bowflex selectech weights that I have been begging/nagging/bringing it up every single day of my life interested in for some time now.

The ones who call me MOM

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all you amazing MOTHER'S out there!   Thank you to my mom and all the other great women in my life who have also made me into the woman and Mother I am today.....Grandma, Aunts, and my Mother in-law!   I feel so blessed to have each and every one of you in my life and my children's lives!

I feel so blessed that God has chosen me to be the Mother of our 3 beautiful and healthy children.   As trying as times can be in certain moments I wouldn't want it any other way and could not imagine life without these 3 blessings that call me MOM.  I love every aspect of motherhood even on the days I have yet to shower, am ready to pull my hair out, have had less then a couple hours of sleep, when the house is trashed after I spent hours cleaning it, when they have pulled every last ounce of patience out of me and leaving me feeling like I want to run to the hills (usually a quick time out of 20 minutes to the coffee shop does just fine).  Kisses, snuggles, hugs, and "Mommy, I love you" cures it all and instantly makes it all the trying moments worth it.

I remember the day I became a mother (almost 6 years ago), and it still seems like it was yesterday. My first born Austin, a healthy, smart, witty, happy, energized, smiling, full of life, compassionate, sensitive, loving, talkative, Mr. Outgoing, loves to be on the go,   blue eyed baby boy!      God sure knows the perfect plan,  by giving us Austin as our first born.  As he is an amazing big brother.   

And I had way too much fun going through old photos and finding a million I loved.  I think this will do for now! I love looking through all our albums and reminiscing on wonderful memories and the chapters we have written so far in our lives :)

This boy has brought so much light into our life.  I love how he pulls the inner "kid" out of me and makes me realize that life doesn't always need to be taken so seriously.   Take the time to smell the roses.   I am so incredibly proud of this boy and for the little man he is becoming.

And then I was blessed as a 2nd time mommy, not only to 1 more babe but to 2 BABIES!!!   I won't lie, we were both extremely nervous and completely in shock.  It took awhile for the reality of it all to set in.   I remember coming home from our first ultrasound and all I could do was laugh and cry at the same time.     Some days I still have that similar feeling lol! 

Again, God knew exactly what 2 perfect children with 2 very different and unique personalities would be placed in our family.  Austin got his prayers answered when he prayed to God for a brother and a sister!!      Dalton and Dakota complete our family.    And I wish in the beginning I had more photos of me with them or individual photos with me and them.  But somehow MOM always gets to be the one behind the camera. 

Dalton is my big bruiser, he is loving , sweet, sensitive, caring, smart, methodical, and a ham!  He is ALL boy.   He is so strong and fearless and will attempt most anything until he conquers it even if he fails multiple times.   But he is very shy of new situations and new people.  It takes him awhile to open up to new people and new places.   But once he warms up to you he is a big love.   It's funny that in those situations he is so cautious and everything else in life he is not.   I love his morning snuggles, well any time he wants to snuggle.

Then there is Dakota. She is my little princess.  She has such a personality and is always cracking us up and trying to be funny and cute.  She is my little diva, so petite but has a much bigger attitude.  She has her brothers wrapped around her little finger and plays them to a T.  And oh does she love to talk!  I just love her sweet little heart and her snuggles too.    God has definitely blessed us!

 

 

 

 

And finally one from my day with all my babes!
