I'm just your average Mom & Wife,
who leads a fabulously crazy life.
I do a million & 1 things during the day,
and try like heck to blog about them!

I had a really great Mother's Day weekend a few weeks ago!
It's actually one of my favorite holidays : )
The kids get so excited to find ways to express their love for Me.
I feel like a million bucks with them in my life!


This year I had the pleasure of attending a Mother's Day tea,
during one of Nina's girl scout troop meetings. 
It was seriously, so cute!
The troop leader does a great job every year. 
She certainly knows how to make us Moms feel special!
I sipped on some delicious hot tea, and nibbled on pound cake,
cupcakes, and chocolate covered Oreos that I brought.
I've got a tutorial on how I made the chocolate covered treats.
You can follow this link to my party blog, LAURA'S little PARTY!

On Mother's Day, I was treated to a delightful breakfast in bed!
A pineapple fruit cup, warm & freshly baked cinnamon rolls,
homemade waffles, and hot tea in my favorite mug, hit the spot!


After breakfast, it was time for gifts!!
I was greeted by a lovely wooden sign that had my favorite 
3 little words written on the front!
And I spotted a Tiffany's bag...


Inside my bag, was an amazing blue box.
And inside that box, was a beautiful gift card!
As it turned out, my hubby & daughter went down to the store to
buy me a pair of sunglasses that I've had my eye on.
{no pun intended}


Sadly, the store was out of stock. So they got me a gift card to
put towards the purchase of the sunglasses on my wish list!
I hopped online as soon as I could!
Here are the sunglasses I picked out : )


Later that day, we all went over to my Grandparent's house to celebrate.
My Parents came over, my Aunt & Uncle, and our cousins.
It was really a great time!
While my little guy was napping, my 2 older kids & I had a photo sesh.
This is what happens when my older son holds the camera!


What is it with my kids, and their "camera faces"?!


I love my oldest brat! It's hard to believe that he'll be 19!!


Another great picture with my babies {minus little man}


This was truly my BEST Mother's Day yet!
I'm blessed with such amazing kids, and a wonderful husband!

I've got myself a camera ham!

I adore my kiddos! All 3 of them.
My teenager recently moved out on his own, 
so he isn't here in our morning photo session.
But he does stop by every now & then : )
One Sunday morning, as I'm looking like I just crawled out of bed,
{maybe I did, maybe I didn't}
I had my iPhone in hand, and took advantage of 
the photo opp, with my two youngest.

My kids have always been photogenic. 
{My camera was forever in their faces}
Now that little guy has come along, he too enjoys his time to shine!

Once Jordan noticed his face in the camera, he started putting on a show!


We're all still smiling... Wait for it!


And there he is! My little hammy!


He's on a roll! He really enjoys making all his "camera faces"


Nina & I couldn't help but giggle with each picture we took.
Sometimes he's just too funny!


I wonder where he gets that cheesy smile from...??

Fun in the desert!

Last month, we packed up the trailer, and headed out to ride!
I was really looking forward to some time away from home.
Boy did it feel great to not have any cell service.
I went through Facebook withdrawals, but I survived!

Jordan had the best time exploring, walking, and running.
Here he is on one of his many walk-abouts.

Danny was blowing bubbles for Jordan, and he loved it!!

Jordan had to make sure everything was in good, working condition.
{he just got done watching Daddy do the same thing to his quad!}

It got really hot out there!
But Jordan, and his friend made the best of it by eating a popsicle.

This was Jordan's very 1st popcicle, and he loved it!
He ate it like a pro : )

Here's Jordan doing a little more exploring.
Don't you just love his riding outfit?


Nina invited one of her friends to come along with us.
They had a great time riding around!
We can't wait to go out again!
