Preschool Graduation 2012

Last week Harper graduated from her first year (well technically half year) of preschool! She has made so many memories this year, made new friends, learned lots of new things and has adored her teachers...we can't wait to go back next year!

Here come the graduates!

Hmmmmm, I wonder what I should do with the rest of my life? ;)

Getting her diploma from her teacher Ms. Kari.

Playing Together

The kids having been playing together a lot lately...this is both good and bad...when they are getting along it's great...but unfortunately right now Gibson wants to get right in the middle of everything Harper is doing and she needs her space sometimes! Regardless, they are super cute and it's so much fun seeing them interact as brother and sister!

Mother's Day!

Breakdown of my Mother's Day-

Early wake-up call with Gibson...so took him on a run with me, beautiful morning, loved it!

Go with the fam and have brunch, yum!

Hang around the house and spend time with the kiddos!

Grill for dinner and make chalk pictures with Harper on the porch after dinner :)

Being a mom is the most rewarding, challenging and fulfilling thing I do...I wouldn't trade it for the world, I love being a mom!

Do you need a "wake up call??"

I think this is a very important article that every parent should read. It served as a "wake up call" of sorts for me because I am guilty of some of these things. Our children deserve our love and attention every day and the last thing that should get in the way of that is our Smart Phones!

An impromptu visit to the splash pad this morning turned into a lot of fun for the kiddos...Harper reported that the playground was too hot (she was right, no shade) so we stumbled upon this little dolphin friend and played with him instead! Summer has officially begun!

It's me!

I know I post plenty of pics of the kiddos on my blog so I thought I would throw in a pic of me that I took today! I am having fun with this 30 day picture sharing "snap hunt" that my photographer friend is doing...today we had to post a pic of a self portrait...this is me after a run with the kiddos...I was very hot but somehow I don't look terribly bad!

Harper vs. Gibson~ 9 months old

Happy 9 months Gibson! My little guy has 3 teeth and is getting ready to cut another one, he is crawling all over the place and wants to pull up on everything...he has also already started to cruise, I think I may have an early walker on my hands!!! He is eating lots of solids and getting familiar with finger foods. And he is doing much better at entertaining himself these days which helps mommy out a lot!
