A Mother's Day Post

Mother's Day is so special to me because it's a reminder of these 3 special blessings in my life!

I mentioned to Ty a while back that I wanted some tools of my own because I couldn't ever find his when I needed them. He's a good listener. I found this awesome zebra toolbox and may have mentioned that I wanted one of these too. =) So today, the boys came in with this:
If you're gonna have a girly toolbox, you must have some girly tools! This is what it was filled with:

Last night my sisters and I took my mom out for Mother's Day. We went to eat at an Italian restaurant called Spinelli's.

Kim and Mama

Me and Brianne

Mama opening her gift

Last, we headed to the movies to watch The Last Song

I'm so thankful for my mama. She is the most positive, loving, christian woman I know. I'm so glad God chose her to be my mama!

Kypton Andrew

My sis had her baby today! Kypton Andrew made his way into the world at 1:23 p.m. He weighed 7 lb 8 oz and was 20 in long. The same measurements as my sweet Cooper! Here we are at 7:00 this morning. Until today I was anti-epidural. Kim convinced me that it was the greatest thing in the world. So, I'm getting one too!

Here's the sweet babe. He looks just like Kim!

Big Brother Daeton. So sweet. He kept rubbing him saying "baby". They're only 19 months apart, like me and my older sis.

Here's the happy family! Doesn't she look awesome for just going through labor?!

**On a side note, my brother's wife was induced yesterday morning early. She wasn't progressing so the word was that they were going to do a c-section tonight at 7:00. My mom just called and she's now at a 9!! They live in Virginia so I won't have pics. =(

Also, I'm dilated to a 2! Come on baby!

Catch Up

So I have been a HOR-RI-BLE blogger this year! Seems like my to-do list grows a mile each day with nothing getting crossed off. Here's what we've been up to the past month. We had our first snow of 2010! Mama made stood the cold long enough to snap a few pictures. The boys played for a while sliding and diving in the snow.

Trevin had a family night at his school. We spent the night eating "Pizza Hut" (as Cooper calls it), playing their classroom wii, and lots of playing with toys!

Here's my latest belly pic! Only 6 weeks to go. We're ready to find out what "Baby M" is!

A Walk Down Memory Lane

I was recently going through some old pictures and I came across one of me with my 2 sisters. I was a junior in high school. Just to show how much people can change in nearly 8 years, I'm also posting one of us at Tailgate Bunco last month. AMAZING! Fortunately for me it was a good change. This is before.............

and this is after............
