Fun Times

Yesterday was just a fun day of playing outside as much as you can!!! Here are a couple pics.

Popcicles are so good! Especially in my new Car's shoes that Nana bought me and I must wear all the time!

After a great day of play outside one must get clean, but why not have fun doing that too!

To All the Mom's!

I have seen this several times, but the words ring so true...

Before I was a Mom :I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom :I had never been puked on.Pooped on.Chewed on.Peed on.I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom :
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots.I never looked into teary eyes and cried.I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom : I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down.I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.I never knew that I could love someone so much.I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom :
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom :I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every10 minutes to make sure all was okay.I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Are You Up for A Challenge

Do you need to exercise? Do you have 20 minutes? Then go here and find out about the 20 minute challenge. If you sign up, you can see me "star" in a workout video. Now if that's not incentive, I don't know what is. :-)

Cadon is 2!!!!

Here is a preview of the big occasion. We had a great day Saturday celebrating this little guy's 2nd birthday, which amazes me because he was just born, right? Here he is with his Thomas balloon, which apparently only lasted for a few minutes before they blew away (so frustrating). Oh well. He had a good day with cake, presents, and family. More pictures to come soon. Apparently we only got video, so I am waiting on pics to from Grammy and Pappou to arrive this weekend and will post them. I would upload video, but I still need to get a firewire cord. Happy Birthday Cadon!!!
