To My Precious Bubba Boy on Your Third Year of Life

Today you turn THREE!!! Or as you say fweeee! :) oh my angel boy, I have so much I want to tell you. I should start by telling you a little about the day I found out you were coming. Daddy and I were in disbelief! We cried and hugged each other and had the BIGGEST smiles on our faces. I quickly looked up my due date, and to my utter happiness, saw that you would be an October baby. Autum is my favorite season, so I was overjoyed at having a pumpkin, fall baby. The day you came into this world was so incredible. I remember hearing your cry and seeing your sweet face over the Surgical drapes. I instantly felt love for you and began to weep. I saw your Dad right away. You definitely resembled him a lot in the beginning, but I think I just saw the love that I had for your sweet, wonderful Daddy and I knew that you were created out of the love we shared for each other. While we got to know each other at the hospital it was lightning and thundering BIG TIME! It was a little scary. You of course slept right through, true to your fashion. We drove home in a total downpour, and I was in so much pain from having you and the complications  I had at the end of pregnancy that I gripped the handlebar hard and didn't let go until we were safely parked. I can rememeber in those first weeks (and Dad and I STILL do this now, probably always will) just watching you sleep. We loved how peaceful you looked and how sweet and little you were. You were a fast learner, too fast now that I think of it. Rolling over at just 2 weeks, crawling at 6 months and walking before you were one. You also said Mama, Dada and Baba all by the time you were 6 months. Dr. Clark said he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it for himself. A true go getter! As time went on, we realized you were Mr. Independent, marching to the beat of your own drum. I love you for that, son. I don't ever want you to conform or to "fit in". I pray that you rise above, as you have done for the past 3 years of your life. I pray over you daily, that you would learn to love Jesus and give your life to him, that you will someday meet a Godly woman who will love you like daddy and I love each other, that you will do what you LOVE and that you would live a life that is full, and healthy, and long. Baby boy, you are so much of the joy that I have in my heart. You taught me how to love like I never knew. You teach me daily how to love others by your servants heart to your brother and to others around you. Yes, this past year I'd say we hit the "terrible twos" and there were times I felt like you were, well, quite the opposite of angelic. But you never failed to bring it full circle and end my day with a big kiss on the lips and a squeezy hug and an "I Love You, mom." I want to end with a few lines from our song, which you now song along with me at night! Big boy, :)

"Come stop your crying it will be alright,
Just take my hand, hold it tight.
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here, don't you cry

For one so small you seem so strong
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm
This bond between us can't be broken
I will be here, don't you cry

You'll be in my heart..."

I am so thankful God let me be your mom. You bless my life so much. I can't wait to watch you get older and see what is in store for you, Bubbie! I know it's beyond anything I can even imagine for you. Happy third birthday Angel face. Xoxo

Feeling Inspired!

I am feeling inspired today! I love making homemade baby food for my beautiful boy! I really can't say enough about the huge advantage making your own baby food is. The price alone is an immediate seller. I buy organic, locally grown produce and spend about 15-25 dollars which lasts me at least a month. If we were buying the same amount of jarred organic baby food we would be spending about 100 dollars a month. Big difference! I also love knowing exactly what goes in my son's (cute) little tummy. No preservatives, no food dye, and no processed food for him. Another big plus is that I can introduce him to flavors and foods that are unique and typically not found in your average baby food. Currently, I am steaming some yams, zucchini, chicken, green beans and rosemary-all certified organic and yummy of course. I call it "R oast Chicken Dinner" - fancy huh? I will then dish them into my BPA free ice cube holders and freeze. After that, I'll make yams, peaches, pears ...

Time is rolling on and life is rolling right along with it! Yesterday was our official 1 month anniversary, it seems so small compared to 8 years of loving each other but still, celebrating never gets old! Rachel started her new job yesterday as a perioperative RN and UCI. I have never seen/ been a part of a more amazing hospital and the benefits are incredible, by far the best hospital around! I feel blessed to be a part of their periop team. We have a robot called The DaVinci that surgeons use to preform Urological surgeies ! It's a little overwhelming but we will learn and we will be great Rn's once we are done with our training program. This is a picture of my homemade pizza. The dough was even homemade ! It was a 2 hour event, I got a little stressed attempting to flatten the dough out after we had already flattened and then balled it up again. Note: After you roll the dough out DONT start over, just keep it flat, folding it over onto itself is a disaster...

When the Poop Hits the Fan- LITERALLY!

Day 4 in the bag! Phew, barely. Today was too classic not to blog about, so hopefully it brings a smile to your face. :) Woke up this morning with serious tummy issues only to find both Elijah and Jameson feeling under the weather.  Cancelled our Thursday playdate and we lounged around hydrating and just taking it easy (OK they were taking it easy, me, on the other hand, that's a joke. I am a mom of 3 littles after all. I was playing Mommy Nurse). Around 11 we sat down to do school. Now, Elijah's participation is hit and miss, which I completely expected.  He is always game for music time (he is a dancing king after all) and game time. But today he decided he wanted to join for all of it.  So little Mister with his pensive mind asked "Why?" only 80 gazillion times today.  We stopped and had a snack every 10 minutes (Elijah is my hungry boy after all) and a few water breaks (thirsty boy too). Get my drift? Lots of breaks and pauses with him a...
