Mother's Day was great. It was like any other Sunday....lazy!

Aden made me something in Sunday School (I don't teach his class). 

"Mommy, I love you for all that you do. 

I'll kiss and hug you 'cause you love me too.

You feed me and need me to teach you to play

So smile 'cause I love you on this Mother's Day!"

All the kids made me these flower cards in kids Church

"Mom, to make your day fantastic,

I made you this flower of plastic.

I give it to you with this special gift,

a gift so sweet it may give you a lift.

I want to help you with all you do,

including helping with a dish or two.

Happy Mother's Day!"

The hubby got me some flowers! Favorite color! 

I am very blessed to have such an amazing hubby and kids. They take care of me when they can. Even though mothers should be spoiled when they can, it is nice to have one day dedicated to all the hard work that I do! 

Taygen is fully potty trained. She still wears a pull up at night. She is talking in complete sentences now and is into everything! :)

She is growing up so fast! She is being more independent when she plays. She will sit down for an hour at a time and play with Keira's dolls. She will put blankets on them and pretend they are sleeping. She plays with Keira's strawberry dolls and houses. I think we know what we are getting her for Christmas;)

Taygen is working on her feelings. The other day she was at the Y in the child watch and I walked in to see this boy hitting Taygen. He didn't hit her too hard, so, I just watched to see what she would do. She didn't hit back, she just said "don't hit me." I started walking over, he hit her again, she didn't do anything again and then told me when I walked over to her. Very proud of her!

Got Aden registered for preschool. I can't believe he is already going to preschool. He is getting to be such a big boy.

Aden is playing with Keira a lot more and starting to play with Taygen. He used to play by himself and didn't want either of the girls to play with him. He is now helping Taygen out when she needs help with anything.

He helps out a lot more with chores. He makes his bed, he cleans up his toys and even wants to sweep and mop ;)

It is hard to believe that he is only 3, he seems like he should be at least 4. I have had so many people ask if Taygen and Aden are twins. I had a couple people ask me when they were sitting in the double stroller together and then someone asked when we were walking in to the Y. I can see asking me when they are sitting down, but when they are walking next to each other, that gets a little extreme. Aden is 18 months older than Tay and at least a foot taller than her.

He is getting better when I leave him somewhere. He doesn't cry anymore, he just says "bye mom, see you later."

Keira has grown up so much in the last month. She listens a lot better. She takes on more responsibility. I don't know if it is because of her glasses or that she is going to kindergarten and she knows that she is a big girl.

I think it is both. Once she got her glasses, she started listening and being more responsible. Her glasses are her own. She finally has something that is her own. Yes, she has clothes, dolls, shoes, etc. But she has had to share most of that with Taygen and doesn't really have anything of her own anymore except for her glasses. She doesn't have to share her glasses. She finally has something of her own that she can take care of.

She only has 3 more days of preschool left. She had her year end program on Wednesday. I couldn't help crying a little.

She will be taking swim lessons again in the Summer. She is done with cheer for the Summer, she will start back up in August when school starts again.

Recently, I started reading another mom's blog. This one is different than all the other one's I have read. I am posting this post because I cannot imagine this happening to me or any other mom/woman out there. 

This post is for those of you who think you have it rough. For those of you who complain about how hard your life is and how much work your kids, work, life, relationship and etc are. 

This blog is about a mom who has 3 kids, her husband just committed suicide and her family got robbed at gun point and she had her friend kidnapped. Please take the time to read this mom's blog and just think about how easy we/you have it. Just hug and kiss your children, spouse, parents, anybody that is important to you every day. 

You should start reading it from the beginning and go from there to know the whole story. 

I was thinking the other day that I don't have any kind of bucket list or wish list. So, I decided that I would think about it and write it down as I go. So, here are a couple of things that I have on my list now. I will add to it as I think of things....

1. Meet Kenny Chesney (he has already made eye contact with me and blew me a kiss)
2. Cruise  went in February 2012
3. Be a stay at home mom and watch my kids grow up 
4. Hawaii and spend a whole week there
5. Take all the kids to another country
6. Build a home, make it my own

I have been watching GSN (Game Show Network) lately. I don't know why, maybe because nothing else is on during the day. I am really interested in Baggage and Lingo.

Here are the rules of Baggage.

Here is my baggage:

Small- Judge people by what they wear

Medium- Only get my eyebrows done every 3 months

Large- I have been in the back of a cop car and not just for a little ticket

If you watch the show, most of the people on there have way more problems and baggage than I do. My life is pretty boring compared to them, but this is the best I could do. Let's hear some of your baggage.

Keira had her kindergarten round up today. She got to go to her kindergarten for a couple of hours and see what her school looked like. 

Keira told me that she...

• Watched the movie Corduroy
• Met her teachers
• Did activities (didn't tell me what activities)
• Cut with scissors
• Used a glue stick
• Drew a picture of herself
• She told about her favorite books
• Played with toys
• Had her picture taken
• Had a snack and listened to a story

All the kindergarten kids got a tomato plant that they have to watch grow during the Summer. Kind of like the kids will grow during the Summer.
