Violets blessing day!








On Sunday May 17Th we blessed our beautiful baby girl Violet! I could not wait since I had found the cutest shoes and other accessories! Can you tell I am having so much fun with a girl?! Dave had to work a 24hr shift the day before so that left me to do everything before we had to leave. Usually he we tag team when he's home but since he was sleeping I had to do it all. It wasn't to bad though because Caleb can get himself dressed and he can help me with Aidan and also getting the church bag ready. We actually got to church early this time! We are usually walking in right as it starts. Violet started to fuss a little so I got her out of her car seat. As I did I felt something wet. I thought oh no her diaper leaked. I thought it was just pee. Boy was I wrong. It was poo! Not just any poo, orange poo and all over her dress. I only had about ten minutes before church was going to start so I enlisted the help of my good friend Linda who I saw on the way to the bathroom. She was my saving grace! She helped me carefully take off the dress and rinsed it while I changed Violets diaper. The dress was a little damp when we put it back on her but she didn't seem to mind. Other than that minor stressful situation everything else went great. Dave gave an amazing blessing and of course I cried. We took a family picture in front of a huge picture of Jesus that is hanging in our church hallway. I think it's one of my favorite photos. I hope I can get the stains out of the dress so others in our family can use it. It was a very special day! Violet was blessed with grace and a keen intelect.

Mothers Day



Caleb informed Dave that I needed breakfast in bed since it was Mothers Day! So I woke up to a breakfast of cereal and pop tarts. Dave let the boys pick and that is what they chose. Caleb told me right before he left my room, just let me know if you need anything. He is a very sweet boy. I got sung to at church by Caleb while Aidan just stood up there and frowned the whole time. I loved every minute of it. Dave made a wonderful dinner of roast and potatoes. With cheese cake for dessert. I got lots of hugs and kisses from my boys and husband. I gave some to Violet since she isn't old enough to give them to me. I had an awesome day!

My 30th Birthday!







Apparently I am 56 according to Caleb. That's the answer I got when I asked him how old he thought I was turning. My birthday felt like every other day untill Dave got home from work! He quickly whipped up a cake and dinner. He had taken the boys out shopping the night before and they where so excited for me to open presents. Caleb picked out some ready made scrapbook pages, Aidan got me some purfume, and Dave got me an ipod dock with speakers! That counted for Mothers Day too since they are a week apart. I'm not really sure how I feel about turning thirty. I don'y feel any different so I guess it's no big deal. I didn't want to exclude Violet so I took a couple pictures of her. Oh and also I wanted to wish Joslyn(my niece)a Happy Birthday! I am happy to share a birthday with her! I had a great day!
