I did it!

I finished War and Peace. I can't believe it! If you remember this you know how difficult it was for me to get through. It took me two months and one week to read it cover to cover and was completely worth it. I think when something is hard for you and you master it, it is just a little bit closer to your heart. I somehow feel more accomplished having that in my literary arsenal. Even though it's fiction, I learned a lot about actual Russian events and Napoleon. I don't know what's next on my reading list, but I'm ready to start something new. And I finished the Shopaholic series a month ago-pretty good, but my favorite of all Sophie Kinsella's novels is definitely Can You Keep a Secret?

Don't you wish your wedding video was this cool?

I DO! These people are awesome.

Three hours of driving, two playful cousins, one brand new auntie.

That's how our weekend went.

Have a nice day!

To all Mothers, Mums & Mommies; Furbaby Moms & Mumsies, Mothers-to-be & Mothers at heart, Green Moms and Mother Earth, Madres & Mamas, Mother Goose & Mother Hens, To all the WONDERFUL women in the world...Happy Mother's Day!

I am so thankful to have had such a wonderful example of a good mother growing up. I know not everyone has that and I do thank God every day for having her in my life and also having her at a Grandmother to my kids. I couldn't have gotten a much better Mother-in-law either. She has accepted me as one of her own and is there for us no matter what is going on in her own life. We love you so much Moms!!

All I want for Mother's Day is for Aaron to fix the kitchen faucet and not to have to change ANY diapers!

Runner up!

Mia had her school's annual Spring Stampede on Friday and she did great. She ran a total of 25 laps in 20 minutes, that's 2 more than last year! I got to help out with the event which was a lot of fun. The boys cheered their sister on and Aaron even made it out to witness the excitement.
