It Can't Really be June, Can It?

Apparently having 24,000+ photos on my MAC caused a bit of a issue and my iPhone was no longer able to download its photos.  No photos = no blogs.  After getting a new hard drive, weeding out all (or at least a couple thousand) of grainy photos, I am FINALLY back! Thank goodness!

So the month of May....what happened to it?  Oh yes...something like this;
My little baller
T-ball was in full swing!! Paisley improved from his first practice when he thought playing 3rd base meant racing all the runners to home plate when they took off running.  He hit off the pitching machine a handful of times which was amazing since 1/2 the time I think he squeezed his eyes shut when the ball came towards him.  It was a great season and he's already referenced playing next year! 

 We are finally 100% diaper free!  She gave up night diapers for good and we've had only a couple wet nights since.  She's happy to sleep in her princess panties all night and I am thankful to close that chapter.  Although now she thinks she needs a big girl bed....I"m not quite ready for that!
My Momma
Mother's Day came and I was so happy to spend it with my momma and my babies.  Scott always surprises me with flowers to plant and this year was no exception.  I got a hydrangea bush that I had been longing for.  We went to breakfast and the kids had made me cards and got me chocolate.  I love that there is a special day set aside to "thank" mom, but in reality every day is my mother's day.  I get to spend my minutes raising my 2 children.  There isn't anything in the world I want more than that. 
They don't look sick...
Who knew kids got strep throat in the summer?!?! Not me!  After both kids battled fever for well over a week, with zero other symptoms....off to the Dr. we went.  A positive strep test later and we were off to get medicine.  Thank goodness they took it like little champs and within a week the fever was gone and they were healthy again.  
  
Paisley had his final day of school at Kinder Schule and it was with sadness that we said good-bye to the school as they are closing their doors.  This fall Paisley will enter pre-k at the local elementary school and Lila will have another year at home with me before starting her formal education.  He was sad to say bye to his friends but he was ready for a summer of playing outside.  

Memorial weekend we worked on the farm and spent Monday celebrating with friends.  The kids and I did some crafts and I attempted to teach them the meaning of the day.  I'm not sure how much they retained, but we'll try again next year.  

With healthy kids and the blazing mid-west heat, we are jumping feet first into June.  With a little luck and a few less pictures, let's hope my MAC doesn't let me down again.

All about the Little Boy

Sometimes I forget this tiny boy isn't even 2 years old.  He shows more love and empathy towards people than those 10x his age.  He'll give a smile and wave to anyone who'll make eye contact with him.  He has a tender spot for the elderly and people in wheelchairs.  At the same time, this is the boy that asked to be put in his baby sisters crib, then peed on her sheets.  He's a tiny little pistol, full of mischief and curiosity, and 100% boy. As we near his 2nd birthday, I can't believe he's been around as long as he has.  I still stare at him in amazement and can't believe he is my baby.  Every day he is spouting new words and bringing up something we did days ago.  His memory is sharp as a tack and if he's heard you say something one time, you better believe that word or phrase is now a part of his vocabulary. He has handled moving to the farm like a pro.  He's always liked coming out here and seeing the barn, tractor, and riding the 4-wheele

Marry Me Today and Every Day

Music has the amazing ability to stir up an old memory, put goose bumps on your arms, or maybe even bring a tear to your eye. Recently while driving home from work, I had that very thing happen. I had never heard the song before, but it basically summed up the story of a guy and girl that met in a café. Sounds like the story of a guy named Scott and a girl named Kara to me. Here’s the song; Forever can never be long enough for me Feel like I've had long enough with you Forget the world now we won't let them see But there's one thing left to do Now that the weight has lifted Love has surely shifted my way Marry Me Today and every day Marry Me If I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe Say you will Say you will Together can never be close enough for me Feel like I am close enough to you You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love And you're beautiful Now that the wait is over And love and has finally shown her my

My Blue Eyed (little/big) Boy

Hello there little guy So there's this 32 lb. boy that wakes me up each morning.  Typically he goes to his daddy's side of the bed, but if he doesn't feel good or he's had an accident, he'll come to my side.  He typically says something like "The sun is up!" or "Is it time to get up?"  He likes everyone to be out of bed and the blinds to be opened.  This happens between 6:30-7 each morning. He appears with groggy blue eyes that despite showing sleepiness still hold a hint of mischievous.  His hair is a disheveled mess of light brown with a sprinkle of golden hairs that look like spun silk.  His dinosaur jammies are getting shorter on his long legs each day, showing just how quickly this little guy is growing. Snuggles This sweet little boy has eyes that are bigger then his stomach.  He likes to fill his bowl with cereal or oatmeal, but has a hard time eating everything he "thinks" he needs.  He has his picky days where no
