Most days while she naps I attempt to get something done (like actually shower or clean the house). Yesterday however the afternoon light was so dreamy an impromptu photoshoot took place all without her knowledge. While she peaceful slept I snapped away a few photos of her in my favorite frog hat- and a few of just that gorgeous hair. And as I sit here looking through these photos I can't help but feel so blessed to be her mom. 

We have wonderful family. We're blessed to be part of three large loud crazy families. All unique and wonderfully different. And this weekend when we needed help fixing our roof (thank you- wind storm) we were so thankful to have two dads, four brothers, and one cousin show up to help. As i looked up from the ground (yes- i was banded from the roof) i was overwhelmed with gratitude for all these wonderful men. Men who spent their weekend helping us- i'm beyond grateful to be part of these large loud crazy families. 

and now- a few scenes from our visit to the park with a few of our littles- hello spring!

yes mr. dog does this willingly- he loves those kids and would follow them anywhere! 

Have you ever played loaded question? It by far is my favorite game- and that means a lot coming from me as i am a non-game playing person. Anyways I don't think i have ever laughed so hard in my entire life as i did playing loaded question. A few weekends ago we spent a few days in the mountains with my co-workers and their spouses. I can honestly say i love all my co-workers and my boss- I consider each one of them a great friend. We had such a great weekend "bonding" and enjoying the beautiful wilderness. Plus i really loved that each one of them missed their pups just as much as we missed mr. dog. Case and point we aren't the only crazy ones with dogs who are treated like children! 

Happy Mothers Day

To all our wonderful mothers, amazing grandmothers, spectacular sisters, and all the other mothers that have left footprints in our lives. We are truly blessed.
