All the way to SPACE!

I sat at my desk one night. After dinner was done, dishes washed, floors cleaned and kiddos tucked in bed.

I found that my son discovered the cool "PhotoBooth" feature on my mac. Then proceeded to view the crazy fun he was having as I was away doing all the things that mommies do (you know: cutting, prepping, saute-ing, cooking, cleaning... again, washing, folding, making, wiping, bathing, dressing, clearing, scolding, discussing, reading, prayers, tucking, kissing, closing... ahhh!). So after one of my average hectic days I came across this message:

(TURN OFF THE MUSIC AT THE BOTTOM TO HEAR SALO!)




and wanted to cry. But this kid makes me laugh more than cry. All the time.





















And that's a GOOD thing, 'cause this Momma is a cry baby. Especially around this time.

I feel so grateful to be enjoying this. Momma-hood. It's the best thing ever. It's hard. It's 24/7. It keeps me praying, hoping, dreaming, grateful. And I wouldn't change a thing. At all. I love being a Momma. And I am grateful for the children I have been blessed with. I am grateful too for your positive influence on my children's lives. For your time and service. Thank you!

Happy Momma's Day!!!!

Your son's pictures was cracking me up! I had to silently laugh which is a very hard thing for me to do, since it's midnight and my sleeping husband wouldn't appreciate me cackling away.

Your son is adorable! Thanks for stopping by my blog and if you don't mind, I'd love to stop by again!

Isn't it so fun to see who your kids are and what they find valuable, when they don't think you are watchin!

Salo definitely loves his mom, and had to show just how much....that is a winner right there to save and show him when he gets older. Yeah, my kids do the same thing...they are all into the photo booth but haven't figure out the video part of it. I almost want them to now so I can see their personalities come out when no one else is around. Love it L!

Hi! I got the package you sent today. That was so sweet of you! Jake is lovin' the underwear. And we will definately be buying some dipees! Thanks!

Okay, I feel like a dummy!!!! That's why my husband and his family tease me that I may have blonde roots! I didn't realize who you were until I read more of your posts and looked at more pictures! I feel really stupid. It's been a while!!! Your kids are sooo CUTE!

SHHH...just make sure you don't tell too many family members about my blog, because I need blog material to make fun of them or vent about them. Heehee!!

What an animated little guy, he looks like a little ham. Does he get that from his Mommy?!

You always made me laugh growing up.
