Two be or not Two be

It has been such a crazy year that I feel as if I have missed a lot of my little boy being One.

There were about 4 months out of that year that I was not allowed to hold him or carry him. 

That was rough!

I felt so disconnected with him and at times I felt emotionally disconnected from him.

Almost as if he wasn't really my son but yet a close relative. 

It would make me very sad and because of that I tried loving on him even more. 

Since he turned one, I was pregnant with our third child so my hormones were already going out of whack.

He is the coolest little guy I have ever met. 

He loves all cars & any ball!

He loves to wear any kind of hat....

or basically just anything on his head. 

OH! And....

He LOVES food!! 

I can't seem to get enough of him these days and I can't wait for another year of adventures, tears, and laughter. 

Happy 2nd Birthday Dublin Patrick

To be "young" again

So as most of you know, my husband is a goofball and full of energy. 

A few weeks ago, I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready, the kids were on the couch sidetracked by a show and I wasn't too sure where my husband was.
Out of the corner of my eye I see something ZOOM down the stairs and then hear my husband cracking up.

We were in the middle of rearranging the kids bedrooms and swapping them out. So obviously the only way to move a crib mattress is to first ride it down the stairs.

He then proceeded to ask me if I've ever done that before and surprisingly I have not had the privilege of trying this. 

The thoughts going through my mind were, "I'm too old for this", "I'm going to fall down the stairs", "I'm going to flip over this mattress and not make it out alive"

I. LOVED. IT!

If you have never tried this, then put it on your bucket list!
