I'm drawing a blank on a title name

Being a mom is hard.

I always thought it would be easy... like playing house with dolls.

I obviously took my mom for granted; not understanding how hard her job was.


I understand now.

Thanks mom (and Dad) for putting your life on hold to take care of my every want and need.

I have been struggling with patience, stress, and frustration lately. Partly because I'm pregnant and partly because I am the mother of a 2 year old and 3 year old.

I feel like I am the only mother who yells at her kids or lets them cry when I need a little break.

And I am seriously going to have another????



But....

The hugs, kisses, and I love yous make it all worth it.

I love being a mom and wouldn't trade it for the world and I am so excited to bring another little boy into our family.


I vow to be a better mother with more love and patience.

The end.


P.S. Thanks Chris for putting up with my ornery, pregnant self. You are a wonderful husband and I appreciate you more than you know. Love you. :)

My Sweet Pea

My sweet pea Logan had tubes put in his ears this morning.

He had tons of fluid in his ears and it was affecting his hearing and his speech.



Logan was getting restless while waiting and so I let him take pictures with my camera. He took this funny one of Chris.

All done! He was so good and didn't even cry until he wanted his ankle bracelet off. When we got home he was tap dancing in the kitchen; acting like he hadn't even had surgery. He didn't crash until 6:00 this evening.

I'm so glad that he will feel better now.

Since I've been done with school I have had some more time to work on crafts and stuff. I made this cute clock with fabric and mod podge for my craft room. It was really easy.


I bought the clock at Ross for $5.00

The fabric and embellishments that I picked out.

The finished project. The pic is kinda blurry, but I think it turned out cute!

Funny Faces

I love it when my kids will let me take their pictures. Usually they turn their faces and hide, but every once in a while I will catch them in the right mood.

Logan is the king of funny faces. He always makes me laugh.



He does this face when he is excited about something.

Ethan can make some pretty funny faces too

What a goof!

The smiles that melt my heart:

Notice how he has some bald spots in his bangs. Ethan found some scissors while I was in the shower and gave Logan a hair cut. Luckily, he is a boy so I will just give him a buzz.


I love these boys! Now that I am done with school for awhile I will get to play with them more. :)

Logan has to get tubes in his ears on Monday. Poor guy! Hopefully, it will be the end of ear infections for both boys for a long time.
