Emmy Finishes Level 1 Ballet!

 I love, love, watching Emmy in Ballet, I am so glad to have a little girl! How precious she is as she tries her best!  She had Miss Caitlin for Fall classes and Miss Becky for the Spring!  She loved both teachers, Miss Becky for her fairy dust, and Miss Caitlin for being extra amazing, and becoming her favorite!

Our First go at Soccer!

 Brodyn had so much fun with his little soccer team.  We loved watching you buddy!  You tried so hard, and you were such an amazing little player.  You were excited for every game, and of course the treat after!  Spring soccer has been short and sweet, I can't believe it's over.  Hopefully we can get signed up for Fall soccer as well.  Brodyn learned the rules and got a lot of exercise!!  The games were either in Wellsville or at Mountainside Elementary.  I never get bored watching my kids learning and doing something new!

Mother's day

Mother's day turned out to be a "bust" for me...mainly because I let myself get too busy and had a lot of things that I had to do.  So needless to say, I have had better!  But as I thought about how lucky I am to be the mother of three amazing kids, I felt so blessed, even though my day was not filled with rest and relaxation or even appreciation which are the normal things one comes to expect from Mother's Day. 

I did get some amazing gifts-

From Sophia = sleeping completely through the night without even a slight stir to wake me on Saturday night...thanks my little one!

From Emmy = A card that's got a recording of your voice saying "Happy Mother's Day...I love you!" I will be able to hear always.  Your voice is one of my favorite sounds!   Oh, and also my fabulous butterfly ring that's covered in "bling!"  I love it because you picked it out for me!

From Brodyn = The amazing little letter you brought home from school that has your hand print on it, which I accidentally saw before Mother's Day as I was cleaning out your back pack...oops!(you were so bumped I saw it early)  It was so sweet, it made my eyes water!

Mira gave me a Mother's Day book with a compilation of quotes and thoughts about mother's.  I almost gasped at one because it captured exactly how I feel as a mother!

Before you were conceived 

I wanted you

Before you were born

I loved you

Before you were here an hour

I would die for you

This is the miracle of life.

To my little ones...thank-you for letting me be your mother, your are my gift!!

Birthday Girl In The House!!

 Happy Birthday my little miracle!  Oh how we love every inch and angle of you!  How lucky we are that you are forever ours!  You are amazing already!  You learned to walk 2 weeks before turning one (you definitely showed Brody and Emmy up)! Wow, you own the floor now!  We call you Benjamin Button because that is what you look like when you are walking, a little old man!!  I have nursed you an entire year, you would think it would be a relief to be done, (Brodyn and Emmy did not get such royal treatment) but it is so sad to know how big you are drinking from your sippy cup now!  Oh you are my saving grace!!  I wanted you so badly, and went through one of the hardest trials of my life to get you!  That is why you will always be my little miracle.  I love you , I love you, I love you!  Every one adores you, you have a smile for everyone.  You are the Birthday Girl!  You rule the roost!!  You new it was your day to be spoiled!  I made you this cute lady bug cake because that is what Emmy had for her #1 birthday, and thought that would be a cute thing to pass down to you!!  We love you Baby Girl, you are contagious, you are smart, you are kind...you are important!!  Happy birthday Reed, what a fun thing for Sophie to be able to share her special day with you!!
