Day 50. 2012.

Meet the kids new playmate....

Bella.

Their auntie got a brand new baby puppy this week and we have been over to visit almost every single day.

She is soo cute!

How can you not love this little face? These two absolutely love her! And little Bella loved playing with them! This shot makes my heart melt!
 

Day 49. 2012.

I have been extremely busy the past month, and today was one of the craziest days of them all!

Here's a true, 'day in the life' glimpse at my everyday....

My 'littles' aren't so little anymore...



1st grade field trip.

I had a great time skating...wish I could say the same for my son, but it wasn't really his cup of tea!

at the zoo...

Tough guy faces!

Last day of kindergarten 2012...{sigh}.

I am having a hard time accepting that I have two kindergarten graduates now!

Singing skinnamarink a dink...notice little Miss straight face on the far left?

Can you tell that she was a wee bit tired?!

Getting ready to walk the hall to 1st GRADE! Yikes!



We came home and couldn't stay inside on such a wonderful day so we ventured down to play on the bales while watching Uncle Brent plant their soybeans.

My kids love their cat, you can't tell or anything can you?!

I think all three of them are going to love the fact that they grew up on a farm, someday.

Tonight, I was having a blast just watching them!

While Madi went to spend time in the tractor with her dad, the boys and I had a great time together playing and being silly.

I love days like this!

Day 48. 2012.

We celebrated Mother's Day a day early with my mom and after enjoying the wonderful Italian meal she made for us (she insisted), we spent the beautiful evening outside playing at the park.

I am so lucky to have such an amazing woman in my life who has loved me through thick and thin.

Growing up, I'd often hear that I was the spit-en image of her.

This used to bother me, because I wanted to be my own person, and I would always say, 'I just look like myself.'

Today, however, I feel extremely fortunate that I take after her, and I hope that I can be half the mom to my three that she was to me and my sister.

Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you!


Here's a look at part of our journey of how we got to where we are today... I absolutely adore this shot of my mom and dad, they look so happy and full of life.
