High Five for Friday!

Here it is again...my favorite 5 things from this week, and I'm linking up with Lauren at From my Gray Desk!

1. The weather has been BEAUTIFUL! Minus some wind...but if it's 90 degrees, I can handle it!

2. Tuesday evening, I sat in Barnes and Noble for a little while with a good friend. We were able to catch up, and eat cheesecake.... :)

3. I discovered these drinks this weekend. All it is is sparkling water, and juice! No sugar added! I'm going to try making my own this weekend.

4. I made homemade yogurt again...and today I'm making PB granola to go with it!

5. Finally, I got these pants (in white!). I've been searching for the right ones, and now I own them! I just have to wash them, and then they will be ready!

 

I'm thinking about getting a pair of mint green ones too....do you think I can pull them off? 

Happy Friday, and have a great weekend!

Mother's Day

This post is a little bit late...but I completely ran out of time yesterday!

My mom and me

Mom,

I know that I don't say it enough, but you I could not have asked for a better mom, and I love you! You have taught me so much about being a mom, and have listened to my cry many times throughout my life. You are always there to give me a hug (even though I'm not a huggy type of person!). Not only are you my mom, but you are also a friend. One of my favorite memories is from a very long time ago, when I was probably about five or six. I was trying to wrap up my little doll in her blanket and I could not get it right. You got down on the floor with me and showed me just how to do it. I thought of that many times these past few months when I was doing that to my brand new baby. Thank you for letting us lick the beater from the chocolate chip cookies. Thank you for praying for us every single day of our lives, and I know that many times it was more than one time per day! Thank you for teaching us right from wrong. Thank you for showing me how to be the best mommy to my sweet boy. Happy mothers day!

High Five for Friday!

I actually started this early this week, just because of one article online that I HAD to share! Here's the high five for Friday!

1. This chimpanzee is plotting against humans who visit the zoo! A must read article...because it's so funny!

2. I got to have a friend over for a play date with her little guy who is only two weeks younger than my little mister! It was so fun to watch them play together!

3. I tried a new pancake recipe this week. Have I told you that I LOVE pancakes? Only with chocolate chips though!

4. Playing at the park with my boys the other night...the weather was PERFECT!

5. Getting plants so that I can start my container garden this weekend! I'm so excited!!

Happy Weekend!!

Guest Post

It's my first guest post today...over at Or So She Says! I'm so excited!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my first boy, Snoop. He is 2 already! We brought Snoop home from the humane society on July 5, 2010. He was so funny...while we were walking down the aisles, trying to decide which kitty would come home with us, Snoop reached right out to us! He got his teeny tiny paws through the holes in the kennel that he was in, and was batting at us. I think Mike and I both knew as soon as we took him out that he would be coming home.

 Isn't he cute??

 

 Happy Birthday, Snoop!

My Little Mister

I've been wanting to write a story about my sweet little mister. Something that he will be able to read when he's older, so he will know what I was feeling and thinking while pregnant and when he was little.
Here's part one:

Hi sweet boy,
I have been wanting to write this for a long time, and just recently everything has been coming back to me, and I'm having an easier time remembering everything! Maybe it's because I'm sleeping a little better at night...well sometimes. I was thinking about when I first found out about you. I was so nervous that something was going to happen to you! At our first appointment, we got to have an ultrasound because I was so worried! Once we saw you though, and we got to see your sweet, and strong heartbeat, everything was just fine. We talked about everything that I could and could not eat, such as sandwich meat...and oh my I craved Subway soo bad! She also told me to drink a lot of water, so that you could always have clean fluid to swim in. After that, I probably drank a lot more water than I needed to! :) I also got these suckers called preggy-pops, which were supposed to help me to feel better...but they didn't work. It wasn't that I was sick, I just could not find anything that sounded good...except for candy, blueberry waffles, and tomato soup. Poor little guy, you didn't get a whole lot to eat for the first few months! At the next appointment.....
To be continued!
