Truly, Madly, Deeply In Love

Down on the Dairy

One very hot summer day the boys and I ventured 20 miles south to Firth, Nebraska for the Prairieland Dairy Days.

The entire event was free, and therefore packed.  But we had the patience to wait in line for homemade ice cream.

And for Bug to take a barrel ride.  He was so very brave and I was so very proud of him for riding all by himself.

Bear and I waited and watched in the burning down sun.  Bear was very concerned where his "Bubba" was going and pointed for him and shouted, "Bubba? Bubba?" the whole time he was out of sight.

The corn box was a hit, and in the shade.

 Three weeks later we still have dried ice cream in our stroller, but it was worth it.  The cold chocolate milk helped.

Bug's 3rd Birthday Party

Thanks for coming friends! Bug exclaimed, "This is the BEST party I ever SAW!"

Dress-up

Nostalgic

I was looking through some pictures of last summer and now I feel.....not sad, but teary eyed and proud, at how much my boys have grown in a year.  Bug is not a toddler anymore, but a full fledged kid.  And Bear is no longer....sniff sniff.... a baby.

I have so much love in my heart for these boys and am counting my blessings to be their mom.  What an amazing and crazy adventure the journey of motherhood is. I wouldn't trade it for anything.....even my sanity.

Cookies Anyone?

Don't hate me for letting him eat raw eggs.  It doesn't happen very often.

Obsessed with the following:

As soon as we walk out the door, Bear is squirming to get to his bike.  He discovered a hill to the side of our house and heads right for it. I didn't know a 14 month old could do this, but his steering ability is incredible.
