Happy Mother's Day!

Yes, I know Mother's Day was a week ago but I'm just finally getting to post about it. :-) I can hardly believe my baby is 3 1/2 years old. Where has the time gone? I went shopping for him the other day and I'm no longer buying clothes in the toddler section. I'm in the BOYS section! The BIG boys section. Sniff.. sniff..

Here is a picture of the adorable flower pot Andrew made for me at preschool. It has such a cute poem in it. When I picked him up from school. His teacher handed it to him and said "Why don't you show your Mommy what you made for her?" His reply? "No! This is for me, this is for Andrew. Not for Mommy." It took him a couple hours but he finally gave it to me.

Our little "mulch" helper

Most of you know we put 11 yards of mulch down the weekend before my surgery. Here are some pics of Andrew helping us out. He loved filling up his tractor and driving it to another area to dump the bark out.

Soccer pics!

I am so far behind on this blog but I'm sure you can understand why :-) I don't have much time this morning so I'll just get straight to what you all come here for in the first place. PICTURES!!!
There are several from Andrew's soccer game. I'll post more pics from the last month later today or tomorrow!

I love this shot of him because he is concentrating so hard. Notice he is biting his tongue? Just like his Daddy! Too funny.

My new laundry room!!!

It's finally finished (well almost.) After putting up beadboard about 6 months ago we finally put the cabinets in this past weekend and since we didn't measure properly we had to buy a new washer & dryer. Not exactly what we wanted to spend our $$ on but I really do love them!! If someone would have asked me 10 years ago if I ever thought I'd be this excited about a laundry room or a new washer/dryer I would have laughed in their face. Someone will have to hold me back the day we get a new vacuum! ;-)

Here are some pics. The reason I say it's *almost* done is because I still need to decorate :-) The fun part!!

I'm back!

Well I've been back for about 5 days now but am finally getting back into the swing of things. Two days after I got back from Hawaii we got about 6 inches of snow. It was a heavy dose of reality.

Steph & I had such a great time and we really wished the rest of our family could have met up with us there (wishful thinking - but hey we can dream, right?) We got lots of sister time in and I am so thankful we had that time together.

I missed Andrew like crazy and I swore he grew a foot while I was gone and learned about 100 new words. He had some great bonding time with his Daddy and I am also thankful they had that time together. I think they were both ready for Mommy to come home though. I came home to Andrew trying to put Blake into time out. Too funny!!

Well, here is a photo off of our Lanai. Aloha!
