Paradise

Palm trees. Waves crashing. Sweet smell of flowers in the air.

Turquoise blue waters. Humpback whales jumping for all to see.

Fruity cocktails and a favorite beer called Bikini Blonde.

Sand in your toes and pink on our cheeks. Endless sunshine.

Colorful fish & sea turtles float. Seal on the beach just hanging out.

Waterfalls and surfboards everywhere you turn.

Pink and purple sunsets color the sky.

Pineapple, coconuts, and mango to name a few.

Only my fabulous hunky husband and me.

Bliss

The Reason

For not blogging.

PS. I'm on my way to the dr. with the littlest one...ugh!!

Another Moment

We were cleaning up the kitchen after dinner tonight. The music was going, Monkey was running around dancing, Little One was flapping his little arms squealing away in his Bumbo, and we were singing "Chicken Fried".

Your Daddy grabbed me and started dancing with me! I was in heaven. The simplest little thing but I was head-over-heels again! It was perfect. I had my three boys all singing and dancing in the kitchen.

Silly but it's something I've always dreamed of. Dancing with my wonderful husband in the kitchen while my kiddos sang and danced along!!

Another moment I could have stayed in forever!

Freeze Frame

I could freeze time and keep you at this stage forever! You are such a love. I know I keep saying that in every blog about you, but it really is so, so true! My heart explodes with love for you. Just saying that makes me get all lovey inside!!

From the minute you wake up in the morning until going to sleep at night, you have a smile on your face. You love to be snuggled. You giggle every time we kiss your neck or chubby little thighs. You think sitting up all by yourself is such a thrill. I want to hold you here before you figure out how you can move.

I love to just sit and hold you after you have fallen asleep with warm milk in your tummy. I could lose myself in the moment. I know now that those moments are gone before you realize it, so I want to soak up all the baby time I have with you. More and more, I just sit and rock with you letting you fall asleep in my arms. You snuggle right in under my arm...so warm and smelling like baby goodness.

Don't grow too fast littlest one! I love you so!
Love, Mommy

Too Old

Looking way too old checking out your birthday cake.

It must be the new haircut.

You didn't look this old two days ago...sniff, sniff

stuff....

• Still haven't fired the Wii balance board back up again.....did I mention that it asked me if I tripped alot......I'm a little bitter.
• Been absolutely fabulous to have Daddy back home again! Tons of playtime for Monkey, a new face to smile at for the Little Man, and someone in Mama's corner to back her up!! We love you!
• Kudos to the woman from out East who left her 3 month old baby at home to travel to Haiti and breastfeed orphaned babies. I couldn't do it. Plan and simple. Her heart must be the size of Texas.
• Did you see the moon on Friday night? I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E!!!!! Ask my bf, I was on the phone with her when I saw it and couldn't shut up about it. It was huge and fat and orange peeking above the mountains when I first saw it. Unbelievable! A wolf moon they said. Wish I had my camera with me. I would've captured the moment somewhere other than my own memory. Reminded me of the days in college when I used to chase the sunset. Just me, my camera, and the Dodge Neon.....those were the days.
• Extra kudos to my bf's hubs for taking her on an ultra romantic weekend getaway to the Magnificent Mile....much needed!
• Daddy threw me for a loop tonight when he said maybe only 2, not 3! Just something he thought of while he was gone. Can't quite wrap myself around it.
• Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow tomorrow? I sure hope not!
• Happy 29th Birthday tomorrow little bro! Wish I could be there to give ya a hug. Love ya!
