My mama's day

I had a great mothers day! On Saturday I got to go to San Diego and get my hair cut by an old friend who happens to be genius with a pair of shears. I shamfuly admitt that it has been just shy over a year scince my last cut. So you can imagine how much fun I had checking it out on my computer camera, however not compeled enough to stop listening to my Dresden Files audio book and take out my ear buds. Hence the white cords coming out of my head.

On Sunday I got to sleep in... well I got to stay in bed anyway I can't reprogram for one day out of the year. Then I got called down for breakfast and was greeted with my sweet children and handprint artwork. On the way down stairs I found a little heart on every step with a drawing of Sadie's or one of there quotes like "hi mama whacha doin'?" or Brothers "YEAH!!" By the time I got to my french toast,eggs,bacon, and onion bagel I was all misty eyed. Micah and the kids (with a little help from Aunt Jacki) really made it such a special day.

I just have to say thank you to everyone who contributed and supported us in the Race for Humanity! And thank you Nana and Auntie Julie for racing with us! We have started a tradition of supporting the New Vision Autism Center in the race for humanity. All your donations go into running this amazing center that helps parents like us figure out how to get the best services for autistic children like Sadie and is dedicated to educate people so more kiddos can have early intervention. So thank you soooo much for donating to our cause!!!!!

Auntie Julie and Sadie

Little Micah was just so exhausted from all the running he had to do

Nana and Sadie...... notice how I conveniently stay behind the camera when I am wearing spandex and no make up:)

Pink Milk

Yesterday I pranced up the stairs to collect a load of laundry while the children were so innocently sitting on the couch downstairs watching Yo Gabba. I was gone for two minutes, I swear two!! On my way down I was met by a pile of strawberry nestle quik dumped on the bottom stair and bro swirling an excited little finger in it. Sadie was then yelling "Bro took pink milk!" As I further investigated the crime scene I saw that she had reached onto the table, grabbed pink milk and a cup and sat on the family room floor to fill up the cup all the way with powder, it was then confiscated by baby Micah and he attempted to flee up the stairs. After cleaning up sticky kids and grabbing the shop vac I realized I really wasn't mad or even irritated I actually delighted in dealing with what I imagine is a typical kid catastrophe for once:)

Easter pictures......finally

Peeps for Breakfast

Like most I enjoy easter for the true meaning and all in spring time nature that echoes it. The new budding flowers, the baby birds and all thats fresh and new. My next favorite part is the clothes! I love easter dresses and all children's easter apparel! This year I did skip the dress for Sadie, she just falls down too often and I wanted her to enjoy the easter egg hunt in Ninah's (grandma Smith) garden. I love playing photographer outside! Never mind my hand or that my kids will never look at the camera at the same time!
