Sunday Funday

When it was just me and Bo (and Jessica :) we would always have Sunday Funday! Which usually consisted of starting Sunday morning off with brunch and all you can drink mimosas, then off to a bar were we would spend the rest of the day / night!

Now that there is 3 of us we have started back up Sunday Funday! Only now we have to find things to do that are kid friendly :) So this past Sunday was our first official Sunday Funday. We packed a picnic lunch then played at the spray park! We all had so much fun that we all came home and took a nap!

A Piece of New Orleans

I am always so sad when I leave New Orleans! I Love that City so Much! When Ben was born we planted a Magnolia Tree so he could have a little piece of New Orleans! I swear I almost cried when I came home and saw this.... The trees first blooms!

Maybe I should set the date on my camera. So it would have the correct date

Ice Cream Man

Ben always seems to hit new milestones when we are in New Orleans. This time was his first ice cream from the ice cream man! Me and Becky were bringing the boys outside when we heard the music. There is something about that music that makes you almost panic trying to find your wallet and having someone flag him down! Becky was like "You stop him and I will get the money" :)

Ben trying to learn how to get that good and messy eating an ice cream

That smile not only melts hearts but melts ice cream!

Goldfish are more filling

Slip N Slidin!!!

The Pool's OPEN

The Boisclair Swimming Pool is now OPEN! Yesterday Bo got home early from work and we had our first swim of the season :) I was worried Ben was going to be skiddish and clingy since it is a lot bigger than his bathtub. But he loved it! So hopefully we will have a little fish this summer! Sad part is he ONLY wanted DaDa to hold him. I would say "Ben can momma hold you?" And he would shake is head NO! I think he really missed Daddy why we were in New Orleans!

Bad Blogger

So I have been a terrible blogger lately. I was so busy with Ben's birthday and then we were in New Orleans for two weeks! We had a bunch of fun! I will start posting pictures. I am still waiting on birthday pictures. After uploading pictures I realize I didn't get one picture on my camera from his party so I have to get pictures from the grandparents!

Before I was a Mom...

I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't  worry whether  or not
 my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never been  puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept All night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect  my life so much.
I never knew that  I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her son
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I never felt the  warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
Before I was a Mom
