Pool party anyone?

Katie starts Aquatots at the end of the month, so I thought it was time for her to get used to a pool. The pool may only have a few inches of water, but I was still jealous! Check out my little guppy!

K-K-K-Krawling K-K-K-Katie!

Although Katie likes to pretend she can't crawl sometimes, we know she can do it! She is also starting to say Maaamaaa (thanks for teaching her Grandma)!

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

Here's to all the mothers out there...for having the hardest job on earth, but also the most rewarding.

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~Elizabeth Stone

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~Sophia Loren

God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers. ~Jewish Proverb

My mom is a neverending song in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being. I may sometimes forget the words but I always remember the tune. ~Graycie Harmon

Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your children. ~Sam Levenson

First vacation

We're back from Katie's first vacation and are ready for another vacation already! Katie had a great time hanging out with her grandparents, Uncle Mikey and the Sulimas (Aunt Jean & Uncle Jim). She had her first Betty's seafood experience, first trip to the beach, and did lots of shopping and hanging out at the dock.

"Mmmm...I love Betty's seafood Mommy! Uncle Mikey isn't so bad either!"

She seemed to like the beach and squishing her feet in the sand. She looked adorable in her beach gear, sun hat and sunglasses (even though they were only on for 2 seconds).
All in all, vacation was lovely...until the last night. Some lady was not paying attentionand SMASH! ...she ran right into the back of my car. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt. Thank goodness for car seats!
We are already thinking about where we will go next...and when! Katie was a super traveler and slept most of the 7 hour ride. It was great!
