A Happy Birthday To The Best Husband and Daddy

We celebrated my hubby's 33rd birthday yesterday. Even though he says it isn't a big deal and we shouldn't be celebrating his birthday anymore, to me, the day he was born is definitely a reason to celebrate. :)

I was planning on getting up bright and early to make him breakfast in bed, but that didn't happen due to the fact that we went to bed at 2:00 in the morning. This little guy, however, was more than willing to help mama make breakfast in the morning. As soon as he saw me in the kitchen he came running to me and said " I wanna help." So I let him help me mix all the ingredients in the bowl to make pancakes. He was so excited.

After our delicious breakfast, the boys went out to run some errands, and us girls stayed home and baked a cake for the birthday boy and got extreme with chalean. ( Well I got extreme. Haylee just ran around, playing, and eating otter pops ;) ) I waited for them to get home to frost it, because I knew Aidan would want to help since he has been such a little helper lately, and because mommy isn't that good at frosting cakes anyway.

We sang happy birthday, told him to make a wish, and aidan helped him blow out the candles.

Then I forced him we took some pictures, because I know how much he loves them.

Can you tell? ;)

It was a pretty low-key birthday, spent at home.

Just us four.

Wordless Wednesday; Dance Party

What Makes Me Happy

1.) Haylee. I love her hair. her eyes. her smile. Her sweet little face. The way she lights up when she sees me and says "mama!" and reaches out for me. 

2.) Aidan. I love how sweet, funny, and silly he is. The way he says " mama" and gives me hugs and kisses and says" I love you" 

3.) My Husband. I love that he can make me laugh. All the time. 

4.) Photography. I love that I can capture and freeze moments of our life.


5.) Music. Lifts you up when you're down. Makes you act silly & dance when you're happy. 

6.) Movies. Love when you find one you can relate to, and you walk out the theater with a big smile on your face.

7.) Rain. Love the smell & sense of calmness it brings.

8.) Cookies. I am THE cookie monster. They are my weakness. Especially, if they are chocolate chip cookies. yum. :)

9.)Exercise. It's funny how I tend to talk myself out of exercising some days, but once I get it done, I feel so good and ready to take on the day.

10.) Wine. Yes, an occasional glass of wine makes me happy. ;)

Mother's Day 2013

I hope you all had a wonderful mother's day!

I started off my morning by having aidan run in our room all excited, climbed in bed with me and said" Mama, we signed a card for you!" such a cutie pie!

The card my hubby got me.

It's too funny.

and so true. ha! ;)

After having my delicious chocolate vegan shakeology for breakfast, I got extreme with Chalean.

The haylee badger decided she would get extreme with me as well. ;)

After getting the kiddos & myself dressed, I had my husband attempt to take some pictures.

We managed to get a few good ones. :)

We took some silly pictures while haylee napped.

She was as happy as can be after her nap.

Then we grabbed some olive garden to go ( tour of Italy, yum) and had a delicious dinner at home.

It was a very relaxing day, spent with the ones I love the most. :)
