Day 6... Friends

Day 6

I am so very thankful for my friends.  They are an amazing group of women.  Together we laugh, cry, laugh because we want to cry, encourage, support and occasionally drink :)! They are there for me at the drop of a hat and I will forever be greatful for their friendship.  Life gets busy and we dont talk everyday but they are forever in my heart.

And although they may not be "Aunts" to my girls I feel so blessed that Peyton and Lauren have them as role models in their lives.

Much love to these very special women....

Day 5... Sisters

Day 5

Today I am thankful for sisters! You can love and hate each other (sometimes all in the same day) but nothing will ever break a bond between sisters.  Sisters also make awesome Aunts, which I am thankful for as well...

I love the sisterhood my girls have.  They love and protect each other and dont think for one minute that when they are both involved that one will rat the other one out.  Lauren thinks Peyton hung the moon and while Peyton probably wont admit it right now she's pretty proud of Lauren too.

Day 4... Giggles

Day 4

Today I am thankful for little girl giggles!  I woke up to the sound of the girls laughing while they were upstairs playing together.  I know as they get older these days will not always happen so for now I will cherish being woken up to the sound of high-pitch little girl giggles!! 

Here is an old picture of Lauren that always makes me smile, she was full of giggles!

Day 3...

Day 3

Today I am thankful for beautiful Fall Saturdays!  We took advantage of the amazing weather to ride bikes, play at the park, feed the fish in the neighborhood pond and of course play a little soccer!

PS... I am also thankful to set the clocks back tonight! I can use all the extra hours I can get!!!!

Day 2...

We all know being 12 and in Middle School can be tough!  Those are definitley days I never want to do again.  So nothing makes this mom happier than to get a text from my girl saying this was an AWESOME DAY! 

So today I am thankful for AWESOME DAYS for this sweet girl!

The Month of Thanks

This post will be very short and sweet!  Today is November 1st, which means its the first day of the month of giving thanks.

Today I am thankful for these 3 people!  They are my entire world, and there are not enough words to describe how much I love them!!

Where did my babies go...

Without a doubt this day comes every year rather I'm ready for it or not.  The 1st day of school, such an exciting day for my girls but a hard day on this momma.  We have our traditions of back to school shopping, getting our supplies and of course the dilemas over what lunch box and back pack we get and do they match!  We also eat out the night before school, I say its so we aren't rushed in getting all of our stuff ready but really its just a great reason not to cook!

 So here we are August 16, 2012 and I now have a 2nd grader and a (pause as I am still getting used to saying this) 7th grader who is in Middle School.  As I took their pictures this morning I still see their sweet little faces from their Pre-K pictures. This will be a great year for both of them, full of new friends and experiences.  I just wish I could be with them to proctect and help them if needed.  I just have to remember that I am rasing strong, smart girls and even though I still see them as little they are growing up.

So as we start another school year and I look back on how they have grown and look forward to watching them grow even more my wish for them is to always believe in yourself and do what you know is right!

I love you sweet girls and everyday you make me so proud to be your mom!

And PS, just beware if anyone messes with my babies this Momma Bear will come out :)
