Morning Talks

 He sits right here and talks to me while I get ready for the day, he tries to make me laugh and of course he talks to me about dinosaurs the whole time. Sure somedays getting ready in the quiet would be nice... but I kinda love this. Today I walked out of the bathroom and got a "gosh mom you look pretty". This kid is great for ones pregnant self image.

Because He Is Beautiful

Sandbox Season

I had to run to the grocery store, he needs new summer clothes, I need maternity clothes, needed to go to the home store... but the lid came off of the sandbox. None, I repeat, none of those things were completed today because this little dude came inside for food breaks and restroom breaks. He was in the sandbox ALL day long. Dino's and volcanoes were the topic of today. I went out to hear his stories every once and awhile. I walked out with my camera and he asked me this, "mom can you take a picture of my dinosaur looking so mean for my bedroom". So I let him tell me how he wanted the pictures, "with his teeth and scary". haha. So I snapped a couple pictures and asked him what he thought and his response, "oh yeah that's a good one". hahaha. Crazy kid.

Gum Smiles

Such a beautiful day and weekend with this little man. Dad was out of town and we spent our beautiful Saturday hiking and playing at the park. Love this cheeseball smile with the gum sticking out the side of his mouth. :) I am so very thankful for such a happy easy going little guy on weeks when it is just the two of us. I get lots of "mom I need an extra hug right now" and I know his misses dad, but he is so good to me while he is gone. He has even slept this week! That usually never happens when it is just us!

Look Out!!

As we were hiking today he would yell things like, "mom stop" "look out!!" then precede by telling me which dinosaur was up around the corner. he would run up with his stick and go check it out. He would cross all the bridges first and tell me when it was safe to come over. He is fully immersed in his imaginative world, sometimes I like to picture a giant dinosaur coming around the corner and just seeing his face. :))

Dino Mornings

I was making my morning coffee and breakfast for us and heard some music and giggles coming from the other room. I walked into a dino circle going on. Turns out they were all singing and waiting for their breakfast I was told. :)

How Am I So Lucky?

A crazy day at work and I had to stop and grab a few things before we went home. I was kind of in the shopping zone and giggling at this little dude and his crazy stories when he yelled for me to "STOP & close your eyes mom". So I stopped my cart a little late and he told me to back up. I closed my eyes and heard some rustling of plastic. When I opened my eyes he said, "here mom, these are for you 'cause you are beautiful". My heart skipped a beat. He is so sweet to me. This is not his only sweet moment. If I walk out in a skirt after getting ready in the morning, he literally stops, gasps, and says, "mom you are so beautiful".

I hope he continues saying these things to me, I know he probably won't but I hope I can teach him that his future wife needs to have this feeling of she is the only woman in the room he looks at. A son handing you flowers and telling you how beautiful you are I am pretty sure feels better than having the most attractive man in the world say these words to you. Because in my son's eyes you can see that you are simply his everything. <3

View

More often then not he doesn't have pants on in this house. Tonight I caught him hanging out in his room playing a little pantless playdoh. This view reminds me of when he was little. <3 I wonder at what age it becomes "awkward" for them to walk around naked? One day I will not see this cute buns on the daily so for right now I will take it and grin at the view. :)

it is written

I promise to stay positive with my son and teach him the importance of god in our life. I made this sign as a reminder that god's word is most important. Not everyday will be easy and not everyday will top the last; but as a wife, mother, friend, and woman there is a guide I need to follow. I am very blessed beyond words by god's plan and I will promise to not take that for granted. I promise to remember it is not what I am blessed with that defines me, but it is what I share and teach that brings truth to who I am and what others will remember of me.

Matthew 4.4: "It is written: 'Man shall not liven bread alone, but on the every word that comes from the mouth of God'".
