Pictures :)

So I thought I would post some updated pictures of our latest adventures :) We took the girls on a great walk down to the park in our little town and stopped for hot chocolate on the way home to warm up! It was an amazing day and we all slept awesome that night! A 4 mile walk did us good :) Having Mitty home is truly a dream come true. Us girls are on cloud nine!

Slumber Party...

So tonight is G and Shea's first slumber party together! The girls and I are driving from Shea Shea's house and Miley Cyrus is on, the girls are yelling "TURN IT UP UP UP!!!" So I turn it up and the girls are rocking out clapping and there are little lights going crazy in the back from their awesome light up shoes! 
Then for 5 minutes straight is was "ARE WE THERE?! ARE WE THERE YET!?" And if you can believe this, two three year olds in UNISON! haha
Now, a lot of people say I am a kid at heart, if you know me you know this. Well, I have decided I love being a kid at heart because you best believe I was rocking out right along with those two cuties! Now on to some dress up, games, maybe some manicures (if they decide to sit still long enough) and then popcorn and a movie before bed time! 
The mini Seahawk gals!

Sick babies...

The only bad thing about having a baby is when they are sick. You don't know what is wrong with them, what hurts or how to make them feel better. You know how to take their temperature, give them the right amount of Tylenol, if needed, cuddle with them, love on them, turn their humidifier on at night, suction their nose, give them lots of fluids, etc. But don't you wish they had neon signs on their tummies that told you exactly what hurt, exactly what was wrong with them...
I hate when my girls are sick... At least now that G is older she can tell us what hurts, what's wrong.. But Keylee is still just a tiny baby that can't and it breaks my heart. I would rather be sick every day of my life than my sweet angles feeling any pain or being uncomfortable.
I know many can relate...

Love.

I step out of the shower (and if you are a mom you know once you have kids privacy does not exist unless your better half grants you that luxury, and sometimes your kiddos sneak in and your relaxing shower turns into your kids playing in your makeup or your lotion) and there is G babe staring at me saying, "Mommy, I text you back, you are the best mommy ever. I love you." (then she grabbed my face and gave me a big smooch!) This is what motherhood is all about.
There are times when your sweet angels become their evil twins and raise hell all around the house, the store, the playground, etc. But the moment I just shared about makes all the bad, stressful moments disappear into thin air. 
Becoming a mom was the best thing to ever happen to me. Having lazy sundays with my girls and Mitty, just cuddling in bed, watching kid movies and laughing all together are the days I look forward to most. 
Having my daughters look up at me and smile is priceless and fills my heart with joy.
Granted when you are a mom you have no privacy, you gain some weight, add some stretch marks on your not so perfect body and loose the majority of your social life; you gain so much, so much that the few things I listed don't matter. 
Being a mom is not a walk in the park all the time, and if anyone tells you it is easy just remember it isn't always easy. But the rewards are priceless and you gain the best memories, like the one I gained this morning. G babe, thank you for always knowing how to push my buttons, the good ones and the bad ones. You are mommy's world! 
My journey through motherhood has just begun and I look forward to all the obstacles, achievements and memories I will gain over the remaining years of my life.
