This shiz is NOT going to make it...

Woke up to it DUMPING snow...I was so happy (not at all)

This is the 2nd (over 60 year old) tree that we have lost this month...the first one was taken out by a woman that was "lookin' so hard she straight hit the curb" and then took out a sign in front of the house and a tree, and this one (above) I don't know if you can see from this angle ( it was to cold to go outside to take the photo) but it collapsed from the weight of the snow.
I brought in the potted plants so, I hope they make it!?
And...here is where the garden lay...may she rest in peace.

With the girls...

Why do these girls
love Auntie so much???


Is it because I am fun, sweet and patient?
No...its because this is how I do when I watch them...
Seriously, I had such a fun few days with these sweet girls
we watched movies...
We played dress up...
Even poor mister got a makeover...

Poor guy...nothing but pink all around at cousins house...
Can you tell, their Daddy dressed them...?
These girls are full of sugar and spice and everything nice.


Also...I put a new onesie in the shop today...

Our fort...




Nothing fancy, just me, my boy and a quilt draped over some furniture. He LOVED it...had the time of his life. I love nothing more than to have my sweet boy look me in the eyes, smiling and laughing. I love him.

Mother...

What do you say about a Mother...the most sacred role on this earth? I hope I never forget the feeling in that moment (in the photo above) a spiritual experience that compares to no other. I knew this person in my arms...remembered him. What a gift and a blessing to be a woman and a Mother.
My Mother gave me a beautiful life. I always knew that I was loved and safe, what more could a child ask for? I hope to be 1/2 the Mother she is. I pray to be as selfless and willing to sacrifice as her. She gave me such a lovely example to follow.


One of my favorite quotes on Motherhood:
Author Anna Quindlen reminds us not to rush past the fleeting moments. She said: “The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make. … I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Loud and Clear [2004], 10–11

Monchichi...


Remember Monchichis? I loved me a Monchichi back in the day...I got one down at the Target for my Mister today. He LOVED it...and no offense boyfriend, but he kept calling it "dada"...Im just saying.


If my house looks tow-up from the flow-up, thats because it is. Amy came down, we had such a fun time and those 3 children of ours know how to make a mess! But, who has fun playing in a clean room?
Sissy is so pretty and sweet and Mister loves his Auntie.
And...
Im so proud of my man...
Harward & Associates was #2 best real estate agency...Holla! He would have been #1 if we would have even known he was nominated, I would have had all kinds of fools out there voting for him.

My mister...


A few from my iphone recently...

Mister sitting so sweetly...
You have no idea how much these children of ours love each other...what could be better!?
laughing when we tried a hat on him...maybe he knew how dippy it was!
Showing off his new kicks...
Climbing the stairs...
working on his favorite thing in the world...the vacuum.

I love this age with him...I have loved every age but this one is perfect. He started really walking and I don't know how to keep up with him. He is a wild man. I think I am going to pickle him and put him in jar this boy of mine.
