Dear Drew...

Dear Drew...


Dear Drew, 

SEVEN! Wow. I just can not believe you are seven. 

What an absolute great seven years this has been. You are one of the best things that have ever happened to me. I love you more than words can describe. And you know I love you like a million times. 

What would I do without my sweet sweet Drew.
You have grown up so so so much in the last seven years. I love the little boy you have become. You are such a sweet loving child. You love love love to make other kids and people happy. You are a rule follower. You work hard at what you want. You love your family so much.

You have such a sweet little voice that I love to listen to singing in the shower. 
You still have such a huge passion for WWE. You have grown to love sports, just like your Daddy. If I listed all the things that you love I could keep on going forever.

Happy 7th Birthday Baby!


It's an indescribable feeling how much I love you....

Life Lately...

Life Lately...


Catching up life again through pictures...

Dylan has wrapped up his Soccer season finally. That was one cold soccer season. But it is all so worth it to see him having so much fun playing.
We celebrated my nephew, Chandler's birthday and stayed at my Mom's for a weekend while Daddy was gone.
We got to have a play date with Meme AND my friend Krystal and Ryder at the park while we were in town!
We also celebrated Dylan's buddy, Gavin's, birthday.
I, of course, wobbled some time in between these dates...
Drew started baseball. He is seriously the cutest little ball player. I just love love love it.
We painted some Mother's Day pots with friends...
And one of the happiest things the boys have done lately is turkey hunting with Grandpa.

My oh my, these boys LOVE to hunt!
They had went hunting with my Dad before but they have never stayed the night at the farm with him to get up super duper early to get into the woods. So, of course, I was a nervous wreck. But I made it! And they are all still in one piece! Lol.

The boys got up at 4 am!!!!

Which meant this was happening at 6:30 that night...
Good thing though because Justin had me working his basketball tournament so I was just as worn out as they were.

I had some super cute helpers to help me work.
So, life has been pretty crazy busy lately. As always. 

This week we are celebrating Drew's 7th Birthday!!

Can not believe he is going to be SEVEN!!

Can't wait to party it up! :)

Easter 2014 Recap...

Easter 2014 Recap...


We had a fantastic Easter. It actually kind of sneaked up on me. 

I think as the kids get older I do not feel the need to "go all out" anymore. Maybe it is because I am more frugal these days? Whatever it is, I'm not complaining and neither are the kids. 

Justin and I are the type of parents who buy things ALL year long. We like the spoil our kids. We like to treat them to things all year long, not just special holidays. We are very forunate we are able to do this. So when big holidays come around, I am always at a loss at what to get them. 

This year was simple though: Scooby Doo WWE Wrestling movie for Dylan and a new wrestling ring for Drew with some chocolate. 

Easy peasy. 

The week before Easter we had breakfast with the Easter Bunny with super cute bunny pancakes.

We spent Easter morning at home hunting Easter eggs and going through every.single.egg. One.By.One.

Then we headed off to my Mema's where we always have a fabulous time. The adults have so much fun with the adult Easter egg hunt.

Then we were off to my Mother's for some more Easter Egg hunting.

Then we were off to Justin's parents for even some more Easter Egg hunting.

Whew. I was more exhausted this Easter from all the running around than I have ever been at Christmas!! :)

Here's the day in pictures...
