Mothers day

Yesterday for mothers day we got to spend the first part of it with brady's family at his sister nicoles house.. then we traveled up to my parents. I had so much fun, and enjoyed my first mothers day so much!

Brady and collin were so sweet and got me flower pots, flowers, potting soil and stuff so i could do some pots for my front steps and patio! i am so so so happy being a mom and a wife. They are my boys!

I want to thank my mom. I now know how hard it is to be a mom, even though he is only 9 weeks. I know there are hard times to come, and i understand my mom and that she always has my best interest at heart! i love you mom.

You have done soo much for me and i appreciate everything more than you could ever know, and more than words could say. i am sorry for all the times i gave you a hard time and didn't mind.

But i want you to know i thank you for sharing your life with us, bringing me up the way you did and teaching me to be the best mom that i could be. by your example i know what the meaning of love is, and i only hope i can pass as much love on to my kids as you did to yours.. thanks for you example! Collin loves his g-ma very very much and we thank you every day and love having you so close and in our lives as much as we do!

8 Weeks & Talking Video!

Last monday our little man turned 8 weeks... he is so fun!

- is growing out of newborn clothes already

- collin is getting chubby cheeks and thighs

- smiles big all the time

- recognizes who his mom and dad are

- coos when he's happy

- starting to grasp things (like my hair for instance, and earrings)

I love everything he does!!

Collin's Newborn Pictures

These are Collin's newborn pictures. He was 8 days old, and these are just my favorites! He is such a precious little guy i cant even explain the feeling of how much i love being a mom to him! I dont hate the cries, dirty diapers, and spit ups. actually it is so cute. I love everything about this little guy! i dont mind that most of the time he pees through his clothes, or on me. I dont mind getting up in the middle of the night to feed him, rock him to sleep and watching him stare at me. I love everything about him, i couldnt say it in more words than simply I LOVE HIM. Motherhood is the best!
