Happy Mother's Day!

My mom means more to me than words could ever express. She is truly one of the most important people in my life and I would not be who I am today without her love, strength, support and guidance.

Thank you, mom! I love you and miss you SO much.



Here's a special message from Miss Bee.

get out the way!

Dear stupid girl on 128th,
you are not supposed to walk across the street when my light was green and you had a red hand. Yet you walked across the busy intersection anyway because you don't answer to anyone. Thanks for flipping me off, that was extra ghetto.




Dear stupid girl who drives a big boat car,
next time you want to pull out, wait for the cars to pass on the right side before you decide to park in the intersection. I could not drive in my lane because your big ass car was blocking it. Oh, and the "Talk to the hand" gesture you gave me when I honked at you was super neat.

Sincerely,
a mom who's about to go loco on yo' ass

Welcome Mister Tyler!

if you know me, you know I LOVE babies....always have. I could not wait to go see Mister Tyler Dean and his mommy and daddy. We went down around 7 to the hospital b/c I had First Aid training after school today. It was so fun to see the newest addition to the M. family. He is such a little sweet dude and so handsome. Tyler has a lot of dark hair and even though he was nearly 9 lbs. at birth, he felt so tiny. That could be b/c I tote around a 26 pound child consistently. Baylen seemed even bigger tonight as we're oooing and ahhhing over the little babe. Brynn could not wait to go see him and wanted to hold him. Once she held him, she became a little nervous b/c he was moving a little bit, started to squeak a little, and I think she just knew he was so fragile and tiny to her, so that lasted about a minute or two before she was done. Who does he look like? Well, he definitely has B's nose, that is certain.
We loved meeting you, Tyler. "Welcome to the world, little one...it's been waiting for you." :)

This little girl

is really into princesses right now. :)

Cade came over to play

A week or so ago, we invited Cade over to our house so his mom and dad could go out and have a nice date sans child. We had a lot of fun and Cade brought over his neat, new costume. It was cute to hear Brynn and Cade argue over the movie, Cars. He kept saying it was called "Racing Cars" and Brynn kept telling him it was called "Cars" and that Lightning McQueen was in it. This is all so funny b/c Brynn has only heard her cousin Parker talk about this movie b/c for awhile there, he was obsessed with it. Our power went out around 8:00, but we rolled with it and everything turned out fine. Cade and Brynn played well together and Baylen just loves Caden and followed him around all over. We enjoyed having him and he was so good. We'll have to do it again soon and take the new babe when he's a little bit older.

Congrats!

To Tami and Brian and their newest edition: baby BOY M.! :) No name news yet, but he was born this morning and weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs. 11 oz. and was 20 inches long. Can't wait to meet him!

bike rides have returned!

I've been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks now, but we are now able to go on bike rides again. We bought a bike trailer a couple of weeks ago and tested it out most of last week when the weather was nice. The kids enjoyed the ride and one night we parked by the lake so Brynn could feed the ducks. Baylen loves the ride, but has fallen asleep a couple of times. He is not so sure about his bike helmet yet. We used to go on 7 mile rides pre-kids riding all of the trails we have around our house, but when I became pregnant with Brynn, we didn't do much riding and haven't done much until now. It sure was nice to start riding again. I really missed it.
