Update

Mothers Day was absolutely amazing!  The boys surprised me with breakfast at ihop. After breakfast we headed up to the Nationals Game.  Such a great day at the ballpark!  Definitely didn't hurt that I won round trip tickets to anywhere in the world. Honeymoon just got sweeter!  Cali and Florida are in the running, but I will be pulling rank and deciding on Hawaii. I can't freaking wait!  My husband can just deal!  He dealt with the air show, he can deal with an island away from the mainland. Haha.

Picked up a power wheels for Benjamin. He's in love.  However running alongside the mustang isn't as desirable as running alongside him on his bike.  Besides, the power wheels forces me to pick up my speed to 5 mph.  It's only bad when he stops dead in front of me.

My little sister graduated from college!  Can believe she starts law school in 2.5 months!!!

Potty training is proving to be a complete nightmare. Lol. The boys potty trained at daycare, but its like pulling teeth to get him to pee on his potty at home. He got to go on a date with my sister last week, rode the horse at the animal park.

My cousin must have the same sense of humor I do.  Hilarious book cuz. It will come in handy one of these days!

Playing Catch Up

I really cannot wait for August 19. All our planning finally comes together.

Learning that Greg can cast a fishing line but can't get a fish off the hook was pretty amusing.

Being the one to show him how to get a fish off a hook was not a bad way to get a good laugh either.

Stumbling upon my dads fishing forum and a thread all about fishing with Benjamin makes me realize how proud he is to be a grandad.

I refuse to let anyone attempt to buy my sons love.  Spend some one on one time with him and realize what you're missing.

I love that my husband sends me links to things he knows I will appreciate. The guy skinning a deer with a golf ball was the best.

Evening runs with Benjamin alongside on his trike beats the hell out of pushing a stroller!

Having the flu for 2 weeks and not dying is a bummer.

Too bad unsend isn't an option.  #stupidcunt

My 401k needs to include investments in Starbucks stock.

I forgot how much I hate having a car payment.

I for reals, have been slacking.  And in true slacker form, I'm not writing tonight. I cheating tonight and posting pics from the last few months that I've kinda disappeared.  I promise, I will write soon.  I have a lot to say, and a lot going on that needs sharing.  I promise it won't be 3 months. Lol

I am Posting from the iPad Greg got me for Christmas!

We had A great quiet Christmas at home. No traveling!

I am so happy to be home with my family until after the new year!

I should've done all my baking before Christmas.

I love watching my boys face while his dad is doing donuts in the car.

I loved watching Benjamin tear open his presents yesterday!

I have no idea what we are going to do with all these toys. The toy box is overflowing!

The snow was so nice.

Getting to sleep in today was nice too!

Pretty sure stepping on another hot wheels will make me want to chop my foot off!

I can't wait to kick Greg's butt in our new racing set!

I am
So excited to be progressing in my career!

I don't
Own a single fat sweater

I can't
Wait to be his wife

I haven't
Wanted to be at work all week. I've wanted to be with my boys holding them close.

I wish
My one fucking Christmas wish for the last 4 Christmases would finally come true. Even if it only happens once

I can
Honestly say that I am kinda looking forward to grey hairs. Lol

I have
The cutest kids in the world

I believe
The tides are changing and the shoe is on the other table

I will
Be sitting down with Greg and writing 20 letters. One to each family in CT that buried their child is week. Luckily we both have a week and a half off to work on that. It will take a lot out of us especially since daycare is closed too.
