Happy Mother's Day

I had a wonderful mother's day this year. I love my family so much! Mike made me breakfast on Sunday morning  - it was supposed to be breakfast in bed but I can't sleep in very late now that the sun is up at 5:30 a.m. here! Now I really wish Arizona did daylight savings time. The breakfast was very tasty though! 

Jay gave me his mother's day present. He made it at preschool. It was a little baggie of bath salts, green of course. Jay's very favorite color is green. He also gave me this little card.

 

I think it's pretty funny that he thinks I'm 20. And I like to work? Not sure that's the best thing for him to think! Although when I asked him about it he told me, "Yeah mommy, you like to work at home and stay with me!" Pretty sweet little guy. I love the drawing too. Something to treasure. I adore that little boy. And my baby girl too. They both make being a mom the best "work" on earth!

Welcome to the world Sage Marie!

My new little niece is here! Sage Marie was born May 9, 2011 around 5:30 pm. She is 20 inches long and 7 pounds 2 ounces. Just perfect. I love her so much already and I can't wait to hold her in my arms. Congratulations Cory and Brandy!

 

Standing up

Amaya is still content to crawl, but she does attempt to stand up every now and then.

I figure she'll probably be like Jay and not walk until she's 16 months. I'm not sure why my kids like to take so long crawling and walking - maybe I just like to hold them too much! Not much new to report. We're enjoying the sun here in Tucson. I can't believe it's already in the upper 90s! It has made swimming great though. Other than that we're just counting down the days until Disneyland!!!

 I love seeing Jay and Amaya play together more and more.

 Yes, that tongue does still come out pretty frequently ;)

 Seriously, where did those blue eyes come from? Love them!

This boy is ridiculously fun to hang out with. Pirates, bubbles, cars, Mario Kart, swimming, running, playing games, playdough... our days are pretty packed.

 What a little goof! He can always make me smile.

 So serious! but oh so beautiful.

Okay, I better stop blogging because I need to go give these kids some serious snuggles and kiss those perfect little cheeks!
