Things That Make You Go Hmm...

Let's start by saying she knows darn well she is to stay away from the stairs. I was in the other room and I hear "Uh. Oh. I stuck. I stuck." I asked her how she got up there and she put her hands in the air to show me "I don't know". I think I have a pretty good idea miss...

What's for dinner?

This is a common sight in our household now that she is big enough to stand and look into the refrigerator and do a point/grunt at what she wants. Usually it is the massive stack of string cheese sitting in there for her. When we hand her one she smiles really big and walks away like she just won an award.

Birthday Love

This is what 6 looks like and it is so gosh darn cute!

Happy 6th Birthday Ryder

My sweet little boy... I don't even know where to start wit you. You are my heart. My first baby, the one who made me a mom. You have been patient with me and bless me daily with your sweet comments. Six years ago I held you in my arms for the first time and my whole world felt complete. Everything made sense. The time has gone way too fast like it always does, but I couldn't be more proud of who you are. I love your quirks, your smile, your imagination, your sweet hugs, your everything. As I tightly hugged you last night and refused to let you go -- you reminded me that, "mom I will be just as sweet when I'm 6". You will never quit understand the depths of how much you have brought to my life. Happy birthday little dude -- I hope the year ahead is simply perfect for you.

#dads

I think we can all agree that sometimes we just wonder why dads are they way they are ...

First Sleepover

Ryder had his first sleepover tonight and it was so much fun. They loved it and there were no tears on either end. So much fun watching them stay up late and be so excited to do everything. As a mom it was fun to watch them and remember back to my childhood of the mom's that made things more fun for us by adding little touches. Crazy to think we are at this point in life where I can still remember being this little and doing these things as a child. 

Unicorns and Coffee

It's not every Saturday you get to wake up and watch a unicorn and sip your coffee. <3

"I don't know"

 Because I don't want to forget this phase. When you ask her "where did it go" she responds with "go?" then her little hands go up and she gives you a shrug of the shoulder. Needless to say -- she get's asked this about 200 times a day.

Buns

Simply because baby butts are so dang perfect. As a mom I wonder if I will ever think it is not okay to smack and pinch their little dimpled butts.

Rody

If you don't have Rody at your house I highly reccomend him, he has been a household favorite for years!

It's Britney Bitch
