To My Amazing Mom

Since Mother's day is almost here I thought that I would take a quick moment and give thanks to my amazing Mom, not only is she the best Mom I could have asked for she is also a wonderful Grandma as well.

Growing up my mom always made sure that we could do what we wanted, went to the best schools and were raised with manners and respect for one another and our elders, she ran our church youth group volunteered at our school, worked and shuttled myself and my brother where ever it was we needed to be. She pushed us to do our best at everything we did and always showed and told us how proud she was of us.

As I look back at the way I was raised I want to instill some of those same qualities into how I raise my own children, I want my children to feel the same love and respect for me as I do for my mom now that I am a parent and out on my own trying to raise my kids.

My mom gives of her time to anyone and everyone who needs it and asks for nothing in return, she packs her bags 3 days a week to come stay at our house so that myself and Rich can work. She helps with all the day to day functions of my house while we are away at work, keeping the house clean, laundry, dishes, homework so on and so forth.

She is an amazing person and an inspiration to me in so many ways, I just wanted to tell her THANK YOU for everything that you do, we all appreciate it more then you will ever know

Landon's Turning 5

I can't believe that Landon is already turning 5, seems like just yesterday I was on bed rest waiting for this special angel to make his entrance. He is my sweet boy that thinks that he is already an adult and keeps us on our toes every single day!



Landon the day that he was born


Age 1- You can always count on him for a smile


Age 2- He has always loved being outside


Age 3- So much personality


Age 4- Always so creative


There isn't a day that goes by that we are not thankful for this little man in our lives, he has brought so much to our family and provides us with entertainment each and everyday. He has taught us so much about being parents and we thank God each and everyday for bringing him into our lives.



HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY LANDON WE LOOK FORWARD TO MANY MORE TO COME!
