Growing Boys

Since Jimmy Jam will be turning 5 in just a few months I figured I would go ahead and post these... I made something similar for our Family Scrap Book and really liked how it turned out! They are growing so fast!

Your Gonna Miss This... Sleeping in Our Bed

Sleeping In Our Bed!

In ten years when I look back at pictures of my boys this is something that I will truly miss. It never fails at some point during the night one or both of my little angels end up in our bed. Now, at 3 am, when I have two inches of bed to myelf (Buggy actually tries to sleep sideways as pictured) it is not so cute/ fun, but I suspect when they are older and have less time for mommy this is something that will be dearly missed! So I will try even at 3 am to enjoy all the moments spent with my little blessings!

A Walk Down Memory Lane: My Favorite Birthday

    Since my birthday is on Saturday, I thought that for todays walk down memory lane I would share with you my favorite birthday. The year was 2000, and I was turning sixteen. Awe sweet sixteen, lots of people I am sure would choose this as a favorite year because of nice elaborte parites or the car they recieved from their parents. This is my favorite birthday for a different reason.

     Let me start by saying that my mom is an amazingly fun mother, who always wanted my sister and I to have the best that she could give. So for my sixteenth birthday she agreed to take me and my best friends Chelsea, Jessica, and Katrina to Myrtle Beach for the weekend. My mom allowed us to stay in our own hotel room (she and my aunt were next door); we went to dinner at Dick's Last Resort, we walked down the strip in tight pants and sequinned tops, we went to the Ripley's Haunted Mansion, and stayed up all night talking about boys.

     We all had a blast, but the reason this birthday has become so special to me is because it gave me wonderful memories to look back on with one of my best friends, Chelsea, who passed away at the age of 21. When I think of Chelsea, I have many fun memories of times we shared, but I always think of our first "grown up" weekend in Myrtle Beach.

Join me if you will for this walk down memory lane. Today we are going back to August 2007. My son Jimmy Jam was just a month old

and waking up all hours of the night. I was always tired as all get out and wondering how was I ever gonna live through this?

Then one night I woke up and he was still sleeping peacefully. As I lay there watching him sleep and I couldn't help myself I had to pick him up and rock my sweet little angel. A little over two years ago my crazy active preschooler was just a tiny little peanut.

My how time flies

What I Miss

I was reading through a few blogs last night and got inspired to write a "What I Miss" piece.

• I miss summer time when I was in middle school. It lasted forever and all I did was go to the lake and play outside. No responsibilities and no problems.
  
• I miss Christmas when it was still full of magic and mystery.
  
• I miss High school sports. I was so active and I had so much fun. *sigh* To have the body that I had then!
  
• I miss having all my friends right down the road and having something fun to do every night of the week.
  
• I miss when my husband and I were first dating. We were such different people then and we had so much fun.
  
• I miss working in the "real" world and feeling like I was actually doing something worth while.
  
• I miss the person I used to be.
