Valentine's Day 2013

This year for Valentine's Day was spent pretty low key.  Hubby had to work and since I was off I thought we would pick up Chipotle and have a dinner date with daddy at his work.

We had a good meal and then L had a blast walking around the store pretending to be daddy.

My family, my heart

 My two boys, the loves of my life

L was cracking us up walking around the store with daddy's phone! He knows how to use it!!

I hate that this picture and most of the others are blurry but I just think they are so cute!!

Although this was a low key v-day it was fun and filled with love which really is all that matters, we exchanged gifts with each other L got a basket of fun goodies, I got a really pretty necklace and ring from James Avery, and Daddy got some boots just in time for Rodeo season!!

Hope you had a good Valentines Day!!

Grandfatherly Love

This past weekend L had the opportunity to spend some quality time with his PopPop.  I just love seeing these two together.  

I dont know if its because my own father situation was slightly askew but watching  them together just makes me so happy.  Their relationship is so sweet.

I love to see how L can simply be present and lights up his PopPop's whole being.

I love to see how excited L gets when he sees his PopPop. He talks and talks telling him all about something, only time will allow us to know what he is trying to tell him.  He follows him everywhere.

My hopes are that these two will remain inseparable, I know L will only continue to look up to his PopPop.  He will have so much fun going to grandpa's house as he gets older because PopPop knows where all the fun places in San Antonio are for kids as he drives the school bus for field trips.  He also has a deep love of sports that will hopefully tighten their bond as L gets older and involved in sports as well.

God has truly blessed L with such a great guy for his PopPop a man of God with so much wisdom and knowledge.

I had a close relationship with my grandparents as well and I am just so blessed that L has two sets of amazing grandparents involved in his life.

The Joys of Motherhood

Being a mom is something I have always wanted to be.  As a child I loved being a "mommy" to my baby dolls and little brother.  Now that I am the real deal, its a million times better!

There is so much I love about being a mommy to my sweet boy, every month he gets older I find myself saying "this age is so much more fun than..."

• I love his crazy bedhead in the mornings
• I love how cuddly he is after he wakes, when I get him out of bed and he just wraps his arms around my neck and rests his head on my shoulder and then just cuddles on the couch while he drinks his milk
• I love his babbles, all day everyday, the kid has so much to say although I cant understand most of it I love to hear his sweet voice. 
• I love how much he does say though, the kid has a serious vocabulary
• I love his big hugs, he wraps his arms so tight around my neck and just squeezes, those hugs are the best!
• I love to dress him up, just because I have a boy does not mean I cant play dress up!
• I love that he follows me around the house wherever I go
• I love that he is such a good sleeper
• I also love when he finally wakes up, I miss him when he naps!
• I love his huge smiles that can truly light up a room
• I love how ticklish he is, those baby laughs are music to my ears!
• I love his goofy sense of humor, especially during dinner, he is always trying to make us laugh with his silly faces 
• I love when he tries to help me with chores, laundry is his favorite, second would be the dishes
• I most of all just love his sweet disposition and how much of a mommas boy he is, he melts my heart on a daily basis and I just can not imagine life without him

3 Years

Today marks three years since we said "I Do", three years since I married my best friend.

I really can not believe it has been three years! These three years have been so fantastic and I am so blessed to have a husband and best friend who works so hard for our family and is so in Love with our son.

Marriage, while it has its challenges, has been so much fun and I cant wait to see what the future has in store for us!
