Flashback pics....just because! :)

Someone just turned 3!!!!!

Wow!  How time flies!  My "baby" just turned 3 on Saturday.  I have no idea how it happened.  One day I am miserably huge and pregnant, eating all the pineapple in the world trying to induce labor, the next I am cuddling the happiest baby in the entire world, the next day we are in full on "Terrible 2's" (by the age of 1..LOL) and now he is Mr. Independent who can't wait to go to school and hardly ever needs Mommy's help for anything any more.  :(  It breaks my heart he is growing so fast, but it warms me to my very soul the young boy he is turning into.  Here are a few pictures from his big day....

 

Sunday "Ride"

Daddy really wanted to go out riding his motorcycle on Sunday, but his buddies wives wouldn't let them go...LOL. But feeling bad and knowing the rain was coming....I packed up the whole family for us to spend the day at the riding area just so daddy could ride.


The children had a blast. They rode their bicycles pretending they were motorcycles just like daddy, they got dirty (and I mean VERY dirty), we played games, had a picnic, and took "nature" walks. Here are some pics from their adventures. :)

Major Dilemma

Jazmine has recently been very bothered by something.... it will distract her in the middle of dinner ... it keeps her from falling asleep at night ....it has her going off on tangents in the middle of a conversation ....it is seriously a major dilemma for her. After weeks of her struggling with this dilemma, I am happy to report we are past it. All is well in the world.

"MOMMY!!!! I FINALLY figured it out! I finally know what I want to be when I grow up!!"

"That's great, Jazmine!! But remember, like I told you before, you have plenty of time to figure it out still."

"I don't need time Mommy. I FINALLY know!!"

"Well, then you better tell me! Is it a SuperHero still? Or Ballerina? Or a Princess?"

"NOPE! This is so exciting Mommy! I want to be the person who moves all the big rocks that are in the way for people. I will eat more vegetables so I can be strong enough to move them all by myself with my big muscles I'll grow."

"That sounds very exciting! You will love that! Thanks so much for telling me."

"I know mommy, I was getting worried. I thought I'd never figure it out....... "
