Mother's Day 2019

I'm back! With another update from May ... in July! haha Mother's Day!

Next to being a wife, there is nothing I cherish more than being a mom. I'm always telling Nic, this stage of life we are in together right now has always been the one that I looked forward to the most in my life. Having babies as always been my dream! It's also the hardest stage too. I give them all of me every day ... my time, my energy, everything I can think of to teach them, my adventurous side exploring new places, the side of me that slowly dwindles with patience, the saying I'm sorry and asking for forgiveness side, and more than anything else, loving them with all that I am!

Mother's Day was the perfect celebration of all of that. It is both amazing and challenging that it is celebrated on a Sunday every year. Church with kids can be an absolute whirlwind and test in survival mode. It is also the best day to rest too and it was a good mix of that. We had my mom over for dinner to celebrate her too otherwise we spent the rest of the day just spending time together.

 While I had a date night with Liam the night before, Lyla walked through the park to the store with daddy and she picked out the prettiest pink roses for me for Mother's Day! It was adorable hearing the story of her looking at all the "fowers" and wanting to smell them over and over again. 

Liam made me the most adorable soap container with his picture inside at preschool along with my favorite part of the gift ...

Haha I love those and his answers were priceless!! To my credit, I don't ALWAYS forget to buckle him in his seat. ;) Luckily, he has learned how to do it himself now so he can stay protected under my watch! I also love to paint with him and he always make me feel so beautiful with his sweet compliments when I wear a dress. <3 nbsp="" p="">

Without knowing he was doing one with his teacher, the little survey of questions was what I told Nic I wanted him to do with Liam to hear what he would say so he recorded some videos. I thought I would share his answers to those here too ...
