She is the sweetest and makes me so happy.

Cali and Kensington made me corsages and I wore them to church. They were very pretty! They each did a card for me too and Kensington's made me laugh with her notes she added and Cali's was very sweet and said she loves it when I laugh bc it makes her happy and that she loves to help me in the kitchen. Makes me want to be a better mom for her. :D

Brae did something and I think it arrived today so we will see what she has up her sleeve. I love my babies. They make me happy.

Happy First Birthday Bentster!

He woke up to balloons! He LOVED playing with them. He went from one to another! Happy little guy.
His dad joined us for dinner, cake, ice cream and presents! 
"I'm the birthday boy"
He loved his new "talking" books! 
Cake Time! 
And end of cake time! 
Friday, we did cake and ice cream with our friends. He scarfed up the cake! 

Brae had cleaned half his face here. I loved how it was in his eyebrows. He and Mees got it everywhere!! 
Happy Cinco de Mayo/First Birthday to my little man! You are such a light in our lives!

MayDay MayDay!!!

Doesn't that term mean "help!!" or "save me"???!!! It's May and therefore I am drowning yet again. I remember May is always this way. Here is what I posted on my facebook last night in response to another comment made:
{all this week}
I'm trying to juggle my normal load plus two birthdays for my own kids, two more birthdays, make that three outside of my home, Mother's Day for my own mom plus orders for other's moms, school concerts, school fieldtrips, permission forms to fill out for various things, lunches to make (out of the normal) and Teacher Appreciation Week! Just a LOT beyond the norm. It's a lot to handle and I think I'm losing it! :D


Plus add on my vinyl work and editing a photo shoot from last week and the financial burden of all this! So stressed out.
