Finally! It is the last day of school for me. Really, are we the last district still in session or what?!?!? So now we can get on to more important things, like mowing the lawn in our diaper, and having a baby! Hooray for summer!!!!!

ten on ten - June

So as I downloaded pictures today I realized that I have photos on there from over a month ago! Whoops. So here is the month in review:
Sean turned 2 May 1st
Sean still loves music - especially the guitar
Sean loves people
Baby girl had a very special shower.

I did not take nearly enough photos of the shower - I was truly blessed and honored. Thank you Rebekah, Mandy and Polly for putting on such a wonderful party for me and this baby girl!

some photos

My wonderful mother surprised me this past mother's day with some amazing photos of Sean taken by my cousin-in-law, Cheryl (who is local and has a studio at her house if anyone is interested!!!!) I have been slaking at taking pictures lately, and posting, and commenting, so I thought I would post a few pictures Cheryl took of the best looking 25 month old I know:

On another note, only 5 weeks to go until the "due date"! Crazy huh? especially considering that my school does not get out for another 3 and a half weeks.

Fun Times

With a 2nd one on the way, and Sean just turning 2 we have wondered when and how to make the transition from crib to bog boy bed . . . . lets just say Sean is apparently ready.

I don't have a video or picture of it yet, but the other day when Jane was watching Sean she heard a loud thump during his nap-time and a knock coming from the inside of his door. She said she opened the door and he was standing there and said, "Hi". This was the first time he has done this (thanks Jane for handling it so well) and lets just say his bedtime routine lasted oh, only 2 hours of putting him back into his crib again and again.

So the next day we broke out the big boy bed. I picked up some "fast car" sheets which he cuddled with all day, and was super excited to try it out. We were nervous about having another long night, but here is what we got instead. I suppose if he is sleeping in a big boy bed that means he really is a big boy. Oh, and yes, we do have a frame, it was just not in the house yet.

On another note, Sean still loves music and the other day he and Ryan had a little jam session. I don't know what this new move is - the spinning round and round and round - but I think it works for him.

Happy Mother's Day!

Here are 10 things I love about being a mother:

1. The pure love that is experienced on a daily basis. It is a rawest, most amazing emotion I have ever experienced.2. Watching Sean grow into his own person, developing interests, likes, dislikes. He is our little man.3. Getting to watch this amazing man be a father.4. The simple joy it brings me everyday5. little hands, little feet, little nose, big belly6. when Sean spots me acrross a room, or playground, and comes running back over yelling, "Momma, Look!"

7. Little babes turning into little helpers8. Sleeping babies9. Days that I don't make dinner10. Moments like this:

The other day after work when Sean and I got home he insisted that we switch socks. It was pretty funny, and even funnier that he wore my socks around up to his thighs for the rest of the evening.
I know I should have seen it coming, that the novelty of using your own utensils would soon wear off
And finally, now for that highly anticipated belly shot:












:) Did I get you? The other night Ryan was getting Sean in his pjs and he came running out of the bedroom like this: We had fun laughing and doing a quick photo shoot.
