Mother's Day 2017

I got to celebrate Mother's Day for the first time as a mother of 2!

Candor's school invited all the moms to a Mother's Day tea.  All the kids sang us songs and we ate some treats afterwards.  It was so much fun.


Candor's class also made cards, pot holders, and bookmarks.  I love them!


G and PaPa were in town for Mother's Day weekend.  They let Todd and I sleep in and entertained Candor.  It was the best present.


After we got up Todd made us all breakfast.  We had eggs and heart shaped cinnamon toast!  Townes, Todd, and Candor then each gifted me with Starbucks cards.  Man - they know the way to my heart.  Momma needs her coffee.


We then took a few family photos.  Candor wouldn't put up his IPad and Townes wouldn't wake up but hey that's reality and they are cute as could be.



Everyone also got in some good Townes snuggle time.


To end this blog entry I saw a quote the other day by Donna Ball that really hit home.

"Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is...and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong."

Candor and Townes - I choose you two every day, and I thank you for loving me even though I don't always know what I am doing.

23 Months! (Townes)

My little man is now 23 months old! He is so happy, sweet and funny!  His days are spent laughing and smiling...with only a few tears thrown in there every once in awhile. His new favorite loves this month are dandelions and helping me do things. Townes can spot a dandelion from a mile away and insists on grabbing every single one of them. He also insists on helping me do everything.  Some things take a bit longer to do with Townes helping but I'll take them taking out the trash everyday! His favorite foods is still tacos.  He gets fired up anytime we mention tacos and starts chanting....'TACOS! TACOS!'. He loves soccer balls.  One day he had a fit to try on one of Candor's soccer uniforms.  I have never in my life seen anyone so proud.  He was glowing and thought he was so cool like his big bro. Todd ordered them both a new Liverpool kit which was also Townes first soccer kit of...

15 Months! (Candor)

Candor man is now 15 Months old!  He is a bundle of energy and never stops.  He has two speeds... 0mph (asleep) and 100mph (ALL other times). He has become a super funny little guy.  On the daily information sheets I get after school silly is always circled.  Mrs. Maggie and Mrs. Lauris says he really cuts up during nap time.  When everyone is 'suppose' to be napping Candor will get off his mat,  go over to the ladies (the little girls in the class),  squat down, and whisper "hey hey" so they will get up and play with him.  This Tuesday there was a new little friend in class named Miles.  Mrs. Maggie and Mrs. Lauris said that Miles and Candor did downward dog and giggled at each other all during nap time. His teachers think he is hilarious now but I bet the older he gets the less funny he will be.  He better enjoy it now!

Those Cheeks!

We went to Maria's Taco Express for breakfast today....at noon. Late start to the day. Candor was cutting up a bit in his car seat so Todd picked him up. After a few minutes of laughing he passed out on Todd's shoulder.
