Mother's Day


I'm thankful I got spend this Mother's Day with the two greatest kids in the world! After an early morning wake-up from both Lucy and Ben at around 6:30, Curt let me go back to sleep for a little bit. Ben was very excited for me to open my cards and presents, so he didn't let me sleep for too long! Later in the afternoon, I thought it would be fun to try to get a family picture using our camera timer. I think they turned out pretty well for our first try.


 Ben and Lucy
 Our first attempt...not too bad, except Lucy isn't looking at the camera.
 After a couple more tries, we ended with this one.
 Curt took a quick one of me and the kids outside. There were lots of neighbors outside, so we didn't really want to be posing out there forever...awkward. :)
I got this mirror for over our bed for my present. I picked this out a while ago and it looks great in our room. It's nice to have something on the wall. It takes us forever to decorate...putting nails/screws in the wall seems like such a permanent commitment. :)

I Love the Pictures! Very Nice, indeed! And your new wall decor is perfect for your room. Sounds like you had a nice Mother's Day, and that's great because you deserve it!

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
