Mother's day

I had a wonderful Mother's day weekend. A couple weeks ago Matt surprised me with taking a Friday off and although almost making me pee the bed with fright when my bedroom doorknob turned, it turned out to be a great day full of shopping and family time-not necessarily in that order. ;)\ Fast forwarding to this past weekend we spent time at my mom's house, we picked up my sister from college,went strawberry picking and spent the whole day cutting tree clipping, power washing the house, relaxing with our feet up.....believe whatever story you want :) We were happy to do it and it was a tiny payback for all of the years of sacrifices my mom has made for us. We are the luckiest people on the planet to have her as a mom, and I hope one day Cayleigh thinks of me as half the mom my momma has been.

My little family Photobucket Sunday Matt and Cayleigh did every dish, made me pancakes and bacon for breakfast, took me to walmart and made marinated salmon, roasted onion, and corn on the cob, followed by my favorite-coca cola cake The highlight of my weekend was definitely getting my mother's day gifts from Cayleigh she made at school. As per usual, I cried. Photobucket There is nothing more amazing, and nothing more significant I will ever do in my life than be a mom. It is the hardest yet easiest job I've had, the least rewarding(monetarily) yet most rewarding job I've had. I love being a mom more than I love to breathe. I don't think words can truly describe the feelings I have about being a mom to that little girl. And for comparison-here are links to 2011 and 2010 and even 2009. This is the reason my blog goes on!

Day 2 of the snow....

Image
Today we got a batch of ice which so nicely laid over our 2-3 inches of snow. Luckily, I was off and didn't have to call in! Matt went to work a couple hours late so I made a big breakfast with eggs, bacon, homefries, toast, and orange slices! We played and watched a good bit of TV, I'm not proud to say, but with Matt fighting a cold, and me with a headache again, I decided to make it a low key day and she was thrilled! After her morning nap and lunch, "we" decided to surprise daddy with some cookies. I let her watch me and she helped stir and lick the beater. Yes, there were raw eggs, and no, I don't think it will kill her. Our finished product! I might add this was my best batch of cookies EVER! Playing with her pics.... I should add there will be no post tomorrow, because I am going with Pam and her family to the Dancing with the Stars show(the tour, not the actual show). I am SO excited!!!! It will actually be my first night away from Cayleigh ever, which make...

10 is...

I decided to pop back into my blog and reminisce, and boy is it sad. All of my pictures are gone, thanks to a company wanting $400 to publish them. At least I have my words...On that note, I thought I'd write a bit of what 10 looks like: -Eating a bowl of cereal and a pop tart EVERY morning -Really starting to cooking unassisted. She made a 2 layer cake this week and thanks to a 2 hour delay I got pancakes. Teaching her to cook has been pretty cool.  -Begging me for a cup of coffee because she wants to be grown up. I let her have 1/2 a cup here and there-they say it stunts your growth. I say she is 5 foot 2 inches now so that's a lie. -Texting her friends and playing computer games with them as much as she is allowed. -Watching Hallmark movies day and night with me and Marvel movies with her dad. She is well rounded. -Still loving soccer, but recognizing that sometimes coaches can take away the sparkle of it. -Being 5'1" and wearing a bigger s...

Two years ago today I was headed to the hospital ready to have my baby... At 1:02pm on August 22nd, we had our beautiful baby girl... It changed our lives forever. Cayleigh(aka-Kiwi, pee-wee, lovebug, etc) we love you so much and feel so blessed to have you as our little girl. Your sweetness and kindness is so beautiful, and your hugs and kisses mean more than you will ever know. Watching you grow and learn new things every day makes us so proud, and it remind us to slow down and look at life the way you see it.
