Good Morning, Friends!
Can you belive it's Friday again? I'm sure some of you are saying, "yeah, and it couldn't get here fast enough!". Well, I hope you have a great weekend. Ours is going to be full. Starting with a playdate with friends then tomorrow breakfast with family (a tradition), and a small birthday party for Sweet Pea. Then of course church on Sunday =).
I'm excited about church Sunday night especially, because it's the AWANA closing program and this year was Firecracker's first official year in AWANA. He was a Puggle (a puggle is a baby platypus) =). Anyway, Firecracker gets to have a part in the ceremony! I'm sure it'll be a night to remember!
I hope you all have a great day!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Pea!!!
One year ago today I was having the easiest labor I'd ever had (which really isn't saying much, because Firecracker's birth was TERRIBLE. No joke there were 2 Doctors and 10 nurses in the room, according to the Hubs, I was a little out of it. Sweet Pea's birth was the exact opposite in every way). After 12 hours my Sweet Pea was here! She was perfect. I loved her instantly.
How is it possible that my baby is 1 already?! I'll never get over how fast the time slips through unnoticed in all the bustle of everyday life.
Today, my sweet, adorable, (the Hubs says "spoiled" ;) baby girl is 1. Oh how I love her! She brings joy to my heart. She brings me happiness ;).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET PEA!!!! Mommy and Daddy love you!!!
Hope you all have a great day!

A Few Things You May or May Not Know About Me
You may not be interested in these things about me, but I just thought I'd share.
1. My favorite color is pink. LOVE IT!
2. I'm sarcastic. I am and always will be. If you are sensitive, it's a good possibility we will never be best friends. We'll get along, but I'll never feel free to be myself. I'm too afraid my sense of humor will offend you.
3. I try hard to like people and give them the benefit of the doubt. The Hubs thinks I need to be less trusting, but I feel like people should be trusted until they give me reason not to. (It's all about past life experiences. That's why the Hubs is less trusting, but WAY friendly. Given time he'll trust.)
4. Sometimes I laugh or smile at very inopportune moments. I don't handle confrontation, times when I feel I'm in trouble, or when I have to reprimand others well. I almost always smile. Which is really awkward, because then it looks like I'm enjoying it. Which I'm not it's just a nervous reaction. I HATE IT!
5. Parenting is a true joy to me. I am so greatful to the Hubs for working so hard so that I can stay home and parent our babies while they're so young.
Here's a short list of stuff about me. You may care, you may not. It doesn't hurt my feelings if you don't ;).
Hope you have a great day!

"I Do It Myself"
"I do it myself!" These words can make a Mama have a myriad of different emotions.
1. Pride- my little man is expressing independence! He's getting so big!
2. Sadness- my little man is expressing independence! He's getting too big =(.
3. Frustration- buddy, can Mama please help this time? We're going to be late if we don't leave right now! (This one is very rare, but it does come along occasionally)
I love that Firecracker is doing so much for himself. It really is so great to see him growing and learning new things all the time. Watching him learn opens my eyes and helps me to see things from his perspective. I tell you it's amazing. However, there are so many moments that I look at my little boy and realize he's just that- a little boy.
I look into Firecracker's face and no longer do I see any baby chubbiness. He's already mastered all of the "baby steps" and now he's on to bigger and better things. It truly makes me sad that time is slipping away so quickly. It reminds me to give and get extra hugs and kisses and say extra "I love yous".
Hug your babies, even if your babies aren't babies anymore.
Have a great day!
Ms. T
P.s. I was just remeniscing and thought I'd share one of Firecracker's 1 year pictures with you. And then you can see just how much he's grown up in 2 short years. (yes, I know he's 3, but
1 + 2= 3 ;)

Mother's Day
I hope all you Mothers had a great Mother's day. Actually, I hope everyone had a good Mother's day!
My Mother's day was MAAAAHHVALOUS!!! The Hubs was super sweet even taking on diaper duty for me ;). Firecracker made me a card in Sunday school, thank you Sunday school workers! Sweet pea was sweet like always.
The Hubs sent Firecracker into the kitchen with my gift in a gift bag. Firecracker brought it to me and I said, "Oh buddy, what's that?" Firecracker said, "I don't know!" and proceeded to open the gift. Hahahahaha!
The gift was my very own Kindle Fire!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!! I love to read. My Hubs knows me so very well! =) I was patient to not play with my new toy until after we went to church.
We came home, had lunch and laid the kids down for their naps. After nap time, we ate a bit of dinner and then took a walk as a family (our church didn't have an evening service, because they encouraged people to stay home and spend time with their family for Mother's day.) All in all my day was perfect!
I hope you all have a great day!

5 Question Friday
Hey, friends! It’s been a crazy day here, but whoo hoo it’s Friday!! Yippee!! This weekend is gonna be fun =).
Alrighty, on with the Friday fun! Once again thanks to for letting me link up!
1. What advice would you give a couple getting married?
I would tell a couple getting married to continue to talk about everything. Even when you’re busy with kids make time to talk, even about the “dumb stuff”. This will keep you connected and keep your relationship strong.
2. If you could tell your 16 year old self ONE thing, what would it be? Ohhh this one is hard, because there are so many things I’d tell my 16 year old self. I’d probably tell myself to think and plan more for the future. Rather than being so wrapped up in what everyone right then was thinking about me.
3. What do you do to keep cool in the summer? (AC, windows, fans, swimming, etc.) Here where I live AC is a requirement for survival. It gets brutally hot in the summers.
4. What did you (or your wife) crave most while pregnant?
With Firecracker I craved lo mein noodles like crazy! I loved me so lo mein. I also craved oreo cookies toward the end of the pregnancy. YUMMO ;).

With Sweet pea I craved everything! I ate everything that was in sight. I can’t remember right off the top of my head what I specifically craved, but I know I wanted certain things….. Mommy brain is kicking in right now.
5. Who is your favorite TV mom? Why?
Here’s a blast from the past. My favorite tv mom would be Claire Huxtible. She was awesome. She worked, was an awesome mom and she was a good wife. I think being a good wife is essential to being a good mom.
There are my answers for this week ;). Hope you all have a great weekend!
See ya Monday!

My Mama
This weekend my Mama is graduating from college!!! She has been working on finishing up her degree for the last few years and she finished it up in December.
Mama and Daddy are going to Lynchburg, Virginia for my Mama to walk in her graduation ceremony. I'm SOOOO very proud of her! I wish with all my heart that I could go too. I want to be the proud daughter snapping pictures and shouting as she walks across the stage, "THAT'S MY MAMA!". Unfortunately, circumstances do not permit =(.
I gave her my camera and told her to get lots and lots of pictures for me. I love her and I'm so proud!
Hope you all have a great day!
