Happy Memorial Day!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Memorial Day. I know technically it's still going on, but we spent our weekend at the Inlaws river house on the Rappahannock River and the boys had such a great time! Both Bryce & Hayes both experienced a beach like setting for the first time and I think we have two beach bums on our hands! :)

Hayes played in the water and dug in the sand. Bryce loved having the waves crash over his legs and also eating sand. Yuck! I think he actually liked the stuff, because he kept trying to put handfulls in his mouth. We had a great time there though with Chris' whole family.

Tag, your it!

I've been tagged so I shall do this :)

Here are the rules... Each person tagged gives 7 random facts about themselves. Those tagged need to write in their blogs the 7 facts, as well as the rules of the game. You need to tag seven others and list their names on your blog. You have to leave those you plan on tagging a note in their comments so they know that they have been tagged and to read your blog.

1. I am the youngest of 3, my sister is 7 years older than me and my brother is 2 years older than me.

2. Being a Mom is not nearly as easy as I had imagined

3. If I could read all day, I would be extremely happy.

4. I sometimes envy people who have lives different than me.

5. My parents changed our last name when we moved to PA from TX.

6. I used to hate peanut butter and now I love it!

7. I was supposed to have a career in music.

I think I'll tag Kelly.

Life as I know it is over!

Bryce started crawling a couple of days ago! My life is totally going to change now. And to make things even harder, Hayes has decided to start having an attitude! Just what I need!

Mother's Day

A belated Happy Mother's Day to all of your mothers out there. I hope everyone had a wonderful day yesterday. We celebrated just with our little family on Saturday by going out to lunch. As usual, with an almost 3 year old, it was interesting. :)

Sunday morning, I woke up to Hayes saying "Happy Mother's Day!" I got a card from each of my boys and they were all just wonderful. I guess you could say my present this year was that Bryce finally said Mama! Of course, now he says it all the time and I don't think I will ever get sick of it. (Well atleast not until he is 2!)

We spent the rest of the day at my Inlaws house. We surprised my MIL with lunch and her whole family was there, my sister-in-law, brother-in-law and his girlfriend. Then we spent the rest of the day hanging out. Hayes, my MIL and I walked up to Coldstone for a treat. :) And we all went to dinner at Bottom's Up Pizza with Chris' grandmother, uncle, aunt and cousin. It was really a great day.

As much as my children drive me crazy at times, I love them with all my heart and I thank God for giving me such beautiful and loving children.

An Update

Thought I would give you a bit of an update on what has been going on with us and what new things the boys are doing.

This past Saturday our friends the Aldorisio's came for a visit. Hayes & Caitlin had a blast together! It was so nice to see our friends again, we have missed them since we moved.
