Hello Monday {Little Man's 10th Birthday where mustaches are cool}

Hello Monday!! It is so nice to see you again! What a wonderful weekend we had celebrating Little Man's 10th birthday. As you can see things got a little fuzzy {in a mustache kind of way}. We are officially on Spring Break this week. I am looking forward to everything this week has in store & catching up on things that need to get done.

Hello Monday ... and my super handsome 10 year old!

Hello Monday ... and my mustache wearing brother and grandma!

 

Hello Monday ... and my good looking men!

 Hello Monday ... and my cute cousins and super cool brother!

Hello Monday ... to my wonderful Mom and my mustache wearing little girl!

3 a.m. Prayers

Last night, Little Miss was sleeping in her crib for the first time.

I barely slept all night because I was terrified that I would not hear her cry when she woke up.

Through the monitor I heard her stir and make all sorts of noises.

I must have fallen asleep at some point but was awoken at 3 am to Little Miss' cries.

I wrap my arms around her tiny body and carry her back into my room.

We both lay down in bed and I start nursing her.

Her eyes are locked on mine! I can tell that she is still sleepy but we both are enjoying this quiet moment together.

As I look into her eyes I silently begin to pray.

Dear Lord,

 

Please be with my wonderful cousin Bre tonight as she feeds her new baby. Give her the ability to relish in these quiet moments with her son.

 

Please Lord be with those who are struggling tonight. Allow them to find comfort in Your love.

 

Lord, teach me how to be an intentional mother. Let Your light shine through me and show them daily how much you love them.

I am truly greatful that you have allowed me to be their mother.

 

Lord, thank you for these quiet peaceful moments.

 

Please give me the peace of mind to know that I am doing the right thing with Little Man by putting him on medication. Doctors say that it will help him in school and his teachers feel that it will allow him the ability to focus.

 

Amen

 

I continued to pray and was really overcome with emotion.

 

Little Miss fell back asleep and I wrapped my arms around her.

 

I breathed in her baby scent and felt peaceful.

 

There is no better place to be than cuddled in my bed with my daughter and husband.

 



My Husband LOVES Guy Fieri

A few weeks ago my husband wanted to go to the grocery store ... {yes! he does love going to the grocery store only because all of his favorite snacks come home with him!}.

After 2 hours with him at the store I was getting worried {more worried about our budget and not what he was doing}.

I called him and he answered. He told me he was reading a book at the grocery store. {Really ... a book ... at the grocery store ... umm ... ok}.

So I asked the next obvious question ... What book?

Guy Fieri's Food!

Now if you know my husband ... he loves to cook and he loves watching the food network.

So ... fast forward to Father's Day.

His wonderful wife {that's me!} and the kids bought him the book he was reading at the grocery store. Yup I am that wonderful.

Not only did he get the cookbook but then I told him that he could pick one side dish from the book that he wanted to make. I would then go to the store, get the ingredients, and be his sues chef.

So he picked the Good Girl's Championship Potato Salad.

We chopped, boiled, stirred, sliced, mixed, and measured our way to a wonderful side dish to bring to my Mom's house for dinner.

 This potato salad was delicious!!!! It was a little spicy but so good and so full of flavor!! We will definitely be making this again!!

Yes! That is my super cute husband! 
 He loved Father's Day and now I catch him reading this book every spare chance he gets!

Before the party I even saw this set up in the kitchen. I am sure he was taking pictures of his wonderful cooking to send to his sisters who were not going to be at the bar-b-que.

So Guy Fieri ... if you are reading this {yeah ... I know... I am sure he isn't} but if you are .... My husband would love to be your sidekick on any of your shows!

Seriously ... my husband loves Guy Fieri!!
