Thankful

I'm thankful...

I got to celebrate Mother's Day as a mother.

I have a mother that who has become a best friend.

for a mother-in-law that treats me like one of her own daughters.

for the 2 most important boys in my life.

for a beautiful day to spend with my little family.

for God's many blessings!

Hope everyone had a nice day celebrating the special women in their lives yesterday!

My baby boy is 2!

One of life's distractions recently was my sweet little boy's second birthday.  He's two!  That's crazy!

We had a beautiful spring day to celebrate Jake with a 'Tool' birthday party.  It was a great day with family and friends.

Christmas recap a little late!

Tried not to bombard you with too many pictures from Christmas, but man did I take a lot of photos!

Christmas Round 1 - Canton, NC 

Christmas Eve - Cary, NC/Raleigh, NC

Christmas Round 2 - Raleigh, NC - Santa Came!

Christmas Round 3 - One very blessed little boy!

Christmas Round 4 - High Point, NC

Jake was a blessed little boy getting to open present 5 times (he was just spoiled a lot little)! It was a crazy couple weeks, but we were very blessed to have a lot of time celebrating with family and friends.

I hope 2013 is treating your right so far!

Pumpkin Picking

I'm a slacker, at least a blog slacker!  We had a great summer, but it was busy busy, putting blogging at the bottom of the list.  We'll see if I can get back into some type of blogging routine.

I'm just going to pick up on our current activities, it would be way to long of a post to cover the fun of summer.

We've finally been enjoying some cooler fall weather here in central NC.  It's been great for tailgating, football games, bonfires, going to the park, and picking pumpkins!  We have a little strawberry field across from our neighborhood and this year they also grew a pumpkin patch!  So, yesterday we took a little outing across the road to find the perfect pumpkin, and we found it!  It's giant, the biggest pumpkin I've ever had!  Jake had a great time running up and down the rows pointing at all the pumpkins.  It was a delightful time with my little family!

Wow...

Where did July go?! Well, July was busy, but it was a good month.  We celebrated the 4th at the lake, went to the pool, hung out at the beach for a week, spent more time at the lake, did some painting at the house, playdates, had a first haircut,  are watching the Olympics, and someone got 4 new teeth!

I promise to get some pictures up from the 'real' camera, but until then, here are some iphone/instagram photos.

Happy 30th!

We've been celebrating the hubby's 30th birthday the past few days!

Saturday night was dinner and drinks with good friends.

Yesterday was his actual birthday, and we celebrated as a little family with 30 gifts and yummy cake!

Happy 30th Birthday, honey!

Happy Mother's Day!

It is a true blessing to be a Mother!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Life: Wilmington, NC

Beginning of last week my sister, Jake and I made a very quick trip to Wilmington, NC to visit family.  It was a really nice trip, I really love that place.

I would say that the highlight of Jake's time in Wilmington was visiting Lewis Farms to pick strawberries and eat homemade strawberry ice cream.  He couldn't get them in his mouth fast enough!  Little booger was even stealing them out of my bucket!

Happy Friday!
