This morning on the way to school, I told Jake his birthday was exactly 3 weeks away. He said "momma is that a long long time?" - I said "nope, it will be here fast and you will be 4 years old!"

WHAT? 4??? WHEN did this happen? Birthdays are emotional for me (my kids birthdays anyway) ... it's a bittersweet day.. watching them get big and turn another year older but also realizing how fast time goes.

 

Jake specifically said he wants a "Ninja Turtle/Watermelon Party" - well ok my sweet child, that's what you shall have LOL! :)

 

 

 

This picture is one of the best days of my life... when Jake was born :)

 

8.6 lbs of pure LOVE ...

40 lbs of pure BOY haha! This kid... oh I love him... he is so sweet and so funny

 

 

Isn't this the truth?!?!

 

 

 

 

*sChOoL TiMe*

 

Back to school means chaos. Chaos in the mornings getting everyone ready and out the door, chaos driving to work in school traffic, chaos everywhere. I told myself I was not going to be the yelling mom this year and get my stuff together LOL! 1/2 week down and so far, so good. Ask me next week if I have kept my promise to myself! :) I know you moms feel me!

 

I was a nervous wreck about going back to work after maternity leave, school starting back, and life in general. I mean, who has time to even grocery shop? That's the last thing I want to do after work, and by far the last thing I want to do on the weekends...bleh.

 

BUT Josh and I have a good system down so far, with two kids in the mix now. LOL! I have an amazing sweet friend keeping Will during the day... sooooo beyond thankful for her. Will loves her (his girlfriend) ha! And for Jake, he has an amazing preschool with a staff who has the biggest hearts!!!!!! So this momma feels better about leaving the babes...

 

Here's to a wonderful year with school, work, home life - whatever it may be! We have more changes coming in our lives... so keep my little family in your prayers :)
