My Life as a Mother of Three Amazing Children

Lucky

You're changing so fast I can't keep up. You're growing up faster than I'm used to. You sit up when you feel like it and I love it.

Then you lean over and start eating grass like a little goat and I laugh and pull that clover and blades of grass out of your mouth.

Then we get home and you're so happy just to sit and look at me.

We are totally best buddies.

The more I smile the more you smile.

It's the best!

Even if your fingers are in your mouth

I can see the smile in your eyes.

You move all over.

I'd rather have a blurry picture than nothing!

Your bright blue eyes.

Oh!

That gummy smile.

You've got me.

Wrapped around your finger!

Seriously, naked baby.

Nothing cuter!

You

Are

Soooo

Cute!!!!

Your brother loves you almost as much as I do.

Pure Love!

He would do anything for you.

He says you are more important than anyone.

You are so lucky!

Just Watching

Here's Christian through the screen watching the guy change my windshield.

It was about 85 degrees.

He had two bomb pops then went in stood in the shade of the tree.

This kid is itching to work.

My mother in law Jeanne thinks Johnny looks like Tom Cruise. It's a running joke in the family. I was at Walmart one day and say this poster and asked C to stand next to it. He was actually scared since Tom had marks on his face. I told him Mama Jeanne think Uncle Johnny looks like him. He said Uncle Johnny is only a little scary but this guy is really scary!

Give Me a Pear

He is really really into pears lately. He'll eat two a day.

He'll say, "Can I have something healthy like a pear?"

Charlie

Mark takes Christian to Charlie's to get his hair cut. It's a little barber on the corner of WB Ave. He does the BEST job. I took Christian to Great Clips and the poor kid looked a mess for a month. I decided since I'm home all day I'd bring C to Charlie's myself. I was a little nervous. Kind of like the new kid on the block heading into school. C was really confident and headed right in and told me how to get in. We got in and were totally looked at like, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS LADY DOING HERE WITH HERE BABY AND LITTLE KID?

But once you're in, you're in. So I tried to be relaxed and cool like I belong. I sat back and wait for the one of two costumers to finish until C was called. Until then I texted Mark some vulgar texted wondering why in the H#$% he's been taking out kid to this sh&^ hole that is so disgusting I'm holding my breath. However, you do see I actually put the carseat on the disgusting floor.

Then C was called and hopped right up and Charlie hugged him. Then Charlie joked with him about why I took him somewhere else, and that's the hair cut you get if you don't come to Charlie's.

Then he said if you don't come back I'll cut your ear off. (Believe me I can't make this shit up!) Poor C looked nervous and I immediately texted Mark and he reassured me that's what he says every time. Oh Goody!
Charlie gave him a great hair cut for cheaper than anywhere and gives the biggest suckers has a lot of East Side culture up in there.

Would I go back?

I'd rather Mark take him. But I would

Sebastian's Big ONE!

Our friend Sebastian turned one a couple weeks ago and we got to celebrate his birthday last Sunday.

I'm a huge fan of huge kids' birthday parties. This one took the cake. Literally and figuratively.

It was Mickey Mouse themed.

She used our cake lady from Victoria's 5th birthday party. :-)

I was the photographer and used her camera to capture nearly 200 photos of the day.

Therefore, I only have a few I took on my camera phone.

There was a face painter.

There were personalized Mickey Mouse backpacks filled with personalized gifts.

Brecken even got one filled with rattles and baby food!

It was held at a pavilion at park in Woodbury and there were activities everywhere along with a playground on site.

Let's just say if you are wearing Minnie Mouse ears, have your face painted, are wearing a backpack filled with stuff you love and are digging for treasures...pretty sure it's the Best Party Ever!
