TAT: Mommy & Me

I adore my boys! I can't imagine life without them! However, there aren't too many pictures of us together because I'm always the one behind the camera. I think that is most mom's complaints ;) 


I try really hard to not let myself freak out when Monkey wants to hold bugs and other things that I would never want to touch! Picture here is the praying mantis that we found while waiting for fireworks on the 4th of July.


Then there is the wanting to paint and create artful things things that always end up with a mess. But that's part of having kids and I do love watching Monkey design and create things!


And let's not forget all we go through to bring them into the world! The whole nine months of craziness (is there any other way to describe being pregnant?) and of course labor and delivery. It's all worth it to me! I would do it over and over again just to see a new face that my husband and I created together! 


And then there are the great quiet moments that we all can enjoy! This is when Goose and I got to enjoy some outside time while Monkey and his cousins were playing.


And storytime before bed or in our house all day long! Monkey loves stories and I think that Goose will too! I think this is my favorite time of day because we get to cuddle up and learn. Even from fun story books we learn things.


I think that being a mom is the greatest job in the world and I would never trade it in the world for anything! Being a homemaker makes it easy for us to have Mommy and Me moments everyday some have to be intentional and many just happen!

    I also love story time before bed. I just wish Carina wanted to read more than 1 story over and over again ;)

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
