Fab 5

Okay, so it's official.  If all of my friends decided to jump off a bridge, I'd barrell right in behind them! Since everyone is doing this "Fab 5" stuff, I thought I'd join in on the fun! So, here goes...

5 of my Favorite Things...

My Iphone

I absolutely LOVE my Iphone, and can't really remember what I did before I got it!  It is my "one stop shop" for all my "techno" needs.  I can check my home and work email, facebook, blog, and most importantly, keep all my important dates and things to remember in my calendar!  I also love all the apps I've downloaded, and, as an added bonus, it occupies Evan when he gets bored in the car! :-)

Johnson's Bedtime Bath

There is nothing I love more than the smell of my sweet baby after being bathed and lathered in this stuff!  My only regret is that Evan is too big to use it now! :-)

Velveeta Shells and Cheese (On the Go)

I know this is somewhat random, but I just discovered this last week it's my new favorite lunch item! I am so busy at work that I rarely find time to sit down to lunch. With this, I still have something hot to eat, and best of all, it's really good! Unlike the "Easy Mac" with its powdered cheese and water mixture, this comes with a small pouch of cheese sauce, just like in the regular box that our family loves so much! If you haven't done so, you really should try it!

Table Toppers

Elliott is at that stage where EVERYTHING goes straight to his mouth...including the edge of the table at restaurants.  I found these handy table toppers at Target last week and I really like them.  They are plastic, and have an adhesive edge on all four sides.  You simply remove the backing and stick the placemat on to the top of the table and then around the edge.  This way, if he happens to decide to chew on the table I at least know that it's clean. And, it makes a great place to put his snacks, etc. 

Sharpie Pens

Last, but not least, I love the new Sharpie pens!  A coworker bought me a pack a few weeks ago and I am hooked! I admit that I am somewhat picky when it comes to pens, and these pass all of my requirements!

I hope you've enjoyed my first Fab 5 post! I can't wait to do it again next week!

Mother's Day 2010

I have had a fantastic Mother's Day!  I woke up this morning realizing how much I have to be thankful for! I have two wonderfully healthy baby boys that are the light of my life; the reason I get out of bed in the morning.  I also have, in my eyes, the best Mom in the world!  I can't imagine my life without any of them in it, and I'm so very, very glad that God chose me to be Evan and Elliott's Mommy and Mom's daughter...I'm a lucky girl, to say the least!

Evan came and woke me up this morning with a big hug and kiss declaring that "Today is Mother's Day!"  He immediately brought me a card and gift bag.  Honestly, I can't imagine a better gift than being with the two little boys that made me a candidate to celebrate this day, but hey, I like presents! :-)  Inside, I found an Itunes gift card, and this...

I'm pretty sure my boys had some help from Lesley on this one, but I love, love, love it!

After breakfast, we got ready to go to church with Mom.  Since it was Mother's Day, I had a good excuse to dress my boys in matching outfits.  Have I mentioned that I LOVE doing that?

I can't say enough wonderful things about my Mom. She is the one who taught me the true meaning of motherhood, and I try everyday that I live to be the kind of person that will make her proud.  She's one of a kind, and I absolutely couldn't make it one day without her! 

After church we took some pictures (before Evan had time to get out of his "handsome clothes" as he likes to call anything besides shorts and a t-shirt. :-)

3 of my most favorite people on the planet!

My greatest blessings!

After church, we all went back to Mom and Dad's and had a wonderful lunch, courtesy of Shaun.  We decided we would skip out on going out to eat due to the crowd, and really enjoyed just hanging out with our family.  Mom left late in the afternoon to go to Nashville to see her other "grands," which gave us just enough time for a quick nap before we met Shaun's family at Cracker Barrell for dinner.

So, as you can see, we've had a busy, but wonderful Mother's Day! I hope yours was just as special!
