The Small Stuff {is Really the Big Stuff}

-
 
It amazes me time and time again how my life has changed.
My priorities and what brings me joy is totally different the it once was.
 It use to be traveling to New York, big shopping spree's that Jeff would take me on  or the amazing jewelry he would surprise me with for just no reason that would made me excited and happy. I loved getting dressed up almost every night to go to nice (non kid friendly) restaurants.
 
Now a days watching my freshly bathed babies eating yogurt and the excitement and joy in their laughter  is what my makes my heart explode with love and happiness.
These are the moments I crave and look forward to the most. 
My old life looks so shallow and empty now. I hardly know that woman any more.  
{Not that I still don't like the other things, so don't think your off the hook Jeffery}
 
 





 
 
I truly feel like the luckiest Mommy in the world when I look into these faces.

Potty Training...

We are starting to get serious about potty training. Storrie tells me every time she is wet or poopy, but has a bit of a fear of the toilet. Lilly had the idea of bring the potty in the living room so she could potty and watch Doc McStuffins at the same time.. It worked! We finally got her to set on it.  I am sure she is going to totally hate me for these pictures someday.. heehee.. But she is just too adorable !

  Weekend before last (June 7th) was Brenna's 13th birthday. I seriously can not belive this child is a teen ager already... Even though she has acted like one since she was 5..Ha!        Brenna got to pick the restraunt. She chose Swenson's because of the ice cream:) Love Oliver's face here.   These two are so silly! I love how close they are becoming!!   Four out of our five   These two went to town on the ice cream. We had the sweetest waitress ever. I think Oliver had a little crush..ha!     Saturday Brenna and I went on our annual birthday shopping trip. If you hear load sopping coming from our house in the nezxt week or two, don't worry. It just means Jeff got his credit card statement. This girl can shop!!! It was extra fun for me. Brenna has really started to get in to fashion and has a similar style that I do (except mine is suited for my age). She asked me to pick out her tops. S

My Super Hero's

I never realized how much fun little boys could be!!  When Sara was little, what I loved most was the hours of dress up. We never knew what princess would pop out of her room. Every once in a while even a pink Power Ranger or Batgirl would emerge . I think she had as many dress up clothes as real clothes:)  This was one of the reasons I {thought} I only wanted girls. Boys are boring.. Right? WRONG!!! I have learned little boys are just as precious as little girls and they even like to dress up. The other day Colt came in the kitchen and did this little stand. He said "Da da da da {trying to sing the Batman song} I Bat Man and I am here to save your day"... No matter how big he gets I know that this will be one of those pictures that I will always treasure. One that years from now when I look back I will get all teary and experience a flood of memories.     Then my little super hero started doing the cutest little dance. He was twirling his little hips a
