Mother's Day 2011

While struggling with infertility for 4 years, I always dreaded Mother's Day when it rolled around. I always put on a happy face to celebrate my Mom and all the other moms in my life, but inside I hurt! I knew I would be a Mom someday, I just had a long journey to get there. I do have to say the long road I traveled made Mother's Day all the more sweeter now. It went from being one of my least favorite holidays to one of my favorite! I love to celebrate being a Mommy to my sweet miracles, but I can't help to think about all those out there traveling down that long road and Mother's Day always makes me pray extra hard for them!

This year was no exception...I felt extra special this year! I got precious pictures from C&H from school on Friday and on Saturday morning, I woke up to donuts, flowers, and cards from my sweeties!

We have all been a little puny lately and didn't make it to church on Sunday, but got together with our families to celebrate all the Mom's in our lives! For lunch, we had lunch with my parents and grandmother. Since I have become a mom myself, I am even more thankful for my mother. She has taught me so much on how to be a supporter, friend, and amazing mother and I hope that I at be half the mother that she is!

After lunch, we all 4 came home and took 2 hour naps! :) And then went to dinner and Michael's parents house!

Wordless Wednesday: Beautiful

Show me Your Teeth

I used to say this to make them smile for the camera...now they have to point to their teeth! Guess I'll have to find a new way to get them to smile!

GOD.IS.GOOD!

3 years ago today....

To this day, I am still blown away by this picture! It's crazy how these two tiny blastocysts are now our two precious {wild} two year olds. I've always wondered which one is Cooper and which one is Hadley! ;)

GOD.IS.GOOD!!!

Where's Hadley??

Easter 2011-Part 2

On Easter morning, C&H couldn't wait to see what all the Easter Bunny had brought them! Their favorite things were the sunglasses and pinwheels...and of course, all the candy!

Before church, we went outside to take a few pictures, but C&H weren't really in the mood! I must say they looked pretty darn cute though!!

We came home after church and had Easter lunch with my side of the family and had another egg hunt inside!

And then went to Meme & Sweet Pa's for dinner and more Easter goodies! Can you say my kids are spoiled with all the attention and goodies they received over the weekend??

We had two tired kiddos on our hands tonight...they came home and crashed! They were in a daze while they watched Mickey before bed in their new PJs that the Easter Bunny brought them!!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter weekend as much as we did!!! Check out how much my babies have grown since last Easter! Unbelieveable :)

Easter 2011-Part 1

Happy Easter!

Praise the Lord for HE is RISEN!

We had a wonderful, yet exhausting Easter weekend! Mother Nature put a small damper of our egg hunting plans, but we made do with hunting eggs indoors! We only made it to 1 of the 3 egg hunts we had planned on, but C&H enjoyed their goodies from Nana & Daddo and had so much fun at Pogee's egg hunt!

Once we got home and ready for bed, we had a little egg hunt before going 'night-night'! They are all about hunting eggs this year!
