Happy Mothers Day

I asked my Kindergarteners to tell me why they love their Mothers. One little girl proudly said, "because she drives me to the gas station. They have the coldest drinks there!" Yes, Mothers do all sorts of things, comfort you when your sad, love you when your are sick. They cheer for you the loudest at your soccer games and and even drive you to the gas station for a cold drink afterwards! I love being Jack's Mother. He fills me with joy. He just makes me better. We had a lovely 2nd Mothers day together. Even though Kyle worked in the morning, he and Jackson surprised me with a tray of flowers and a very nice breakfast. Yum! Jackson and I spent the morning hanging out in our jammies and eating bagels and fruit. So wonderful! Another fun surprise was a dozen little notes all over the house from my boys. Notes on the fridge, in the cupboard, on the T.V. They were so sweet and made me feel so loved and appreciated!
One of Jack's best buddies turned 1 today so we stopped over at their house when Kyle got home for a little cake. It doesn't matter what I do, I just love being with my boys!
Speaking of Mothers, not too many people can say they have 2 incredible Moms! My Mom and my Mother-In-Law are the two most amazing people I know. They are everything I hope I can be to Jackson: caring, compassionate and strong. Thank you both for teaching me what a fantastic Mother is suppose to be!
A nice surprise to wake up to!

Some of my sweet "Mom" notes. On the remote...
On my keys...
On the cupboards too!

So blessed to be this boy's Mother.
Happy Mothers Day!

Spring has sprung!

I love everything about Spring: planting new flowers in my pots on the deck, evening walks with Ky and Jack, and of course, the warm weather. The weather here in San Diego has been absolutely beautiful lately and I try to get outside at least once a day. Since I am only teaching in the morning, my afternoons have been filled with walks to the park, splashing with Jack in our neighbor's "baby pool" and playing outside. I feel so lucky to live in such a wonderful place and I am so thankful that Jackson gets to grow up in Southern California. I am looking forward to many beach days, BBQ's and surf lessons as he gets bigger. For now I am just enjoying all the sun-filled moments with him (And a tall glass of peach iced tea...Yum!).

Just enjoying the weather with my buddy Aaron!

The other reason I love Spring is for the clothes. If you know me, you know I rarely wear pants. I am such a girly-girl and I could live in dresses and skirts. And now that it is Spring, I wear one practically every day. Anthropologie(one of my most favorite stores ever!) has the cutest dresses and skirts right now. I just need to win the lottery so that I could go on a little shopping spree....
