Well, today is my mother-in-law's birthday! She is no longer with us, but we think about her everyday! Especially since the kids are growing up so fast! I see alot of her in Riley! Especially her big brown eyes and sparkling personality. I know Penny would have eaten her up! And Payton too! Patrick had shared many memories with her before she passed. They used to go on adventures together, they were best buds! My kids are very lucky to have had such a wonderful Grandma! I know she is looking down on them watching over them. We miss and love you Penny very much!

I know I haven't been on here for a while, so let me fill you in on all the craziness, haha! It has been extremely hot lately, so sitting pool side with three kids has been pretty much ideal. We've seem to be getting busier and busier as the summer drags on. We need to have a day where nothing is planned and we can enjoy the peace, but then again what's the fun in that, lol! Here are some pics that I've taken this summer. Enjoy!

So tonight my husband and I are going to finally have a date night. At home of coarse, but we are going to put the kids to bed early and watch the movie Valentine's Day. I must say, I am looking forward to this!! We get so caught up in the every day that we fail to think of each other. It is very important to keep your marriage strong. After all, it is the foundation to which your family started.

Yes!!! Payton is almost 3 mths now and is cheesin like crazy! It makes me feel so good to know that she is so happy and content. I don't know about anyone else, but when my babies were newborns, it was hard to feel as if you were doing a good job, because all they did was eat, sleep and poop. But now, she is gaining so much personality! I love it! Especially in the morning when she coos and smiles:) My son Patrick loves to make her laugh. It is hilarious! I wish my babies never grew up, lol!

Missing my kids

Well, today I woke up feeling a little overwhelmed. I had to be at work early today and stayed at work late last night. It makes me miss my kids so much. I feel guilty having to leave them all day, but I know they are in good hands. I just wish they were my hands:( Miss Riley woke up early as well, and we had a little bonding time before I had to head to work. I cherish those moments the most. Working sure makes you appreciate time spent with your kids.

This is a start to my blog. I will try to post new pictures as much as I can. Thanks for all who visit and drop a line to let me know you stopped by!
