My silly kiddos

How could these two not make you smile? I had Friday off and we had a great day together, had a breakfast playdate with a sweet friend and her adorable kids. My little brother is home from school for a month and we met him for lunch. It was so good to see him. Then we headed to the Spectrum for some shopping. Ethan was worn out by the end of the day that he fell asleep in the Target shopping cart! Love my kiddos so much and spending a fun filled day with them was just what this mommy needed.

Mother's Day...Disneyland

This Mother's Day all I wanted was to go to the Happiest Place on Earth....Disneyland! We didn't tell the kids anything (for a few reasons...one, we didn't want them asking everyday when we are going, and two, well we wanted it to be a surprise) and so we left the house in the morning and the kids had no clue where we were going....well except for Taelor guessing that we were going there, but I still said "we will see". When  we arrived at the parking lot the joy and excitement on their faces was all I needed. They were thrilled. You see we had passes in the past, but haven't for the last year or so, honestly it was because the last time we were there, I felt like they didn't appreciate being there, they weren't excited anymore about going (since we went so often), so we decided not to renew our passes and let me tell you, it worked. They were beyond thrilled and so was I! I mean what's not to like about Disneyland?!? The day was magical especially when you are seeing Disneyland through a 4 and 5 year old! We got there early and we stayed as late as they could handle. It was a perfect Mother's Day, just the way I wanted to spend it! I love being a mom, I love that I get to spoil my kids rotten for a day, I love that I am giving them the memories my parents gave me, I love that they are my children, I love being called mom, mommy, momma....I LOVE it! I just wish my mom was around to share these amazing kids with her, but I know she is always looking down on us with a big smile! Thank you Taelor and Ethan for making me a proud and happy mommy! I love you to the moon and back!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's day!

First Day of Preschool....a little late

A few things have changed in our lives and schedules had to be adjusted and both the kiddos had to start a new preschool.... I know a bit late in the year but it was all fine in the kiddos eyes. It was the first day of any preschool for my little guy Ethan and boy was he excited! No tears were shed at all! Taelor switched schools  and was happy to be with Ethan (even though they were not in the same class). Taelor still shy as ever had a few days to get used to a new school. It was nice being able to have them both at the same school for now. I always get a little teary eyed whenever my kids start something new, but at the end of the day they were happy and so was I even though it was a little sad seeing my baby boy off to his first day of preschool.
