EXACTLY how I'm feeling today!

A new take on my crazy, beautiful life

I'm sure as most of you who have read through some of my blogs, I am by FAR a writer. 

I've never been good at writing papers, essays, etc....

My passion is to tell stories through pictures or videos. 

So that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm trying something new and am rather excited about it.

I will be blogging about our crazy, out of control beautiful life....

Via video and photo's. 

Here is just a preview of what I have so far in the last couple years. 

Time to Break out!

It is the second week of March and it is starting to feel like Spring!! 

Sitting in the house while the kids play and I try and pick up the kitchen a bit, I quickly realize just how nice it is outside.

And just how CRAZY I am for not busting them out to get some much needed fresh air and a chance to run around. Those bikes need exercise too!

*~*I told this goofball to take a "sassy" picture and this is what I got*~*

*~*So crazy to wear flip flops and play in the snow*~*

Hands On

After going to the museum, I figured it was time to get the kids more hands-on with stuff rather then 

having the t.v. on or playing on a phone.

So I ran to the store and got a few things to get them down and dirty. 

(Don't worry, We put down plastic wrap around the table)

 Even Finley got in to it!

Spontaneous Adventures

Dev and I wanted to get out of the house and get the kids active in something. 

The mall is usually our go-to place to walk and let the kids play but today, Devan had a better idea.

Museum of Science and Industry! 

Devan and I have not been here since we were little. I know the last time for me was when I was 6 or 7.
It has definitely changed since then and probably 10x's cooler then 25 years ago.
(wow....I don't like saying that out loud)

Saying, Ireland and Dublin loved it would be an understatement.

Boys just want to have fun....too!

This kid is all boy, and a little......well.....?

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
