Mom....

I love being a mom. It is the most challenging yet rewarding experience of my life. I couldn't love my boys more than I do. They teach me so much and bring such happiness into my life. So every year I get so excited that my birthday and Mother's Day are so close together! I get spoiled two weeks in a row!!!
As I said before, for my birthday this year, Nathan and I got to got o the Carrie Underwood concert. And of course since their were no kids around, I didn't get any pictures of Nathan and I, but I did remember to get some of Carrie!! She put on a great show and I was so happy that we got to go. O also got to spend a night away from the kids!! Nathan kept asking me what I wanted for my birthday, and I would tell him all I want is a few hours by myself. Well he recruited his mom and they spoiled me with a night at a hotel and a massage the next day. It was HEAVEN!!! Although I did miss all 3 of my boys:)






Then, my sister flew out and surprised me. She took a shuttle from the airport and was sitting on our couch watching tv when we walked in from church. I think Carter was way more surprised than me, although we were both equally happy to have her here!! Once he realized who it was, he ran around screaming and laughing. I love it when my sister comes!! The next day for my actual birthday, we went out to dinner and had some cake.


I got to be a princess for the day...




For weeks before my birthday, Carter kept telling me he was going to get me a princess cake. He would ask me over and over who my favorite princess was, to which I would reply Belle, and he would say ok we are going to get you a Belle cake then!! But the store didn't do Belle, so he picked out his nice little Cinderella cake for me!! Such a sweet boy!!



Me and my prince!!!

My boys and I on Mother's Day...



Like I said... I LOVE being a mom!!!

Grandma's in the house!!!

My mom came to see us the week of Chase's birthday. It was sooooo awesome to have her here!! No matter how old you get you still need your mommy!! We did a little shopping, ate some food, had Chase's party, played lots at home, and the big thing we did was go to the zoo. Carter really wanted to take her there for some reason. He talked about it for weeks before she came. She also watched the kids one night while Nathan took me to the Carrie Underwood concert for my birthday. I LOVE Carrie Underwood and we we found out she was coming here, I knew we had to go! My mom was thinking about coming out and hadn't decided when to come. So I called her and told her to come for Chase's party and to watch the kids for the concert!! And of course she agreed!! Yay for mommies!!!

Carter and his best buddy Davido... they came to the zoo with us

The famous polar bear who swims and does flips all day long! Carter's favorite!!
