Thanks family I love you and I am old!!

Mom stuff........

Do you ever start your day saying I am going to be such a fantabulous mom today. Well thats the way this day started. Taylor had a field trip to the zoo so I decided to take Davis and go for it. As you can see my children in both of these pictures are the ones having the issues! By the way what in the heck is the red streak in my hair! Moving on...Taylor was a little weepy for unknown reasons and Davis well let's just say I know why I only have one boy!!! It was 100 degrees and I was exhausted by the end. As we were unloading from the car Davis decided to smash my thumb in the door. Other than that things were just fantabulous!

Your probably wondering why the jam and salsa. Well I just had to give myself props for canning this year. The strawberries here are sooooo good. Mom and Aly were going to try to pack some back to Utah and Idaho just to make jam with them. This will go down in my family history because I don't know if it will happen again!

Does anyone else stare at this all day? Is there such thing as an applejuiceaholic? We might have to start holding recovery group sessions at our house?

I guess if it makes his life this much better its worth it!

One more birthday.......

My baby girl is one! How does the year pass this fast. I love baby Kate! She has such a sweet personality and I REALLY don't want her to grow even though it is inevitable! We love having her as part of our family she makes us happy with her silly talk and courtesy laughs! Happy Birthday sweet child.
