Reality check!

First off let me start by saying.....I know blogs are boring without pictures, which is why I lack posts. I am working on that. I'm one that ALWAYS has my camera ready to go, but mine is currently out of service and I'm hoping I'll have a replacement soon....so sorry for my picture less posts.



My baby, Yes my 4 year old son has now just graduated out of training wheels. Yesterday evening we were out side and he was like

"wanna see me ride a bike?"

"Of course" I replied

And off he goes on his sisters old pink and purple bike. Ha! I found out he was able to while he was visiting his Dad in Eureka. (SIGH) I was not the first to witness it but man let me tell you when he took off and I saw my baby riding on two wheels I was slapped in the face that "my baby" is longer a "baby". He's officially a big boy! He was so handsome riding around all proud of himself. He has a very unique way of stopping. He hasn't quite got the brake system down yet so when he's ready to stop he just slows down and falls off. Ha! Very swiftly! Pretty soon I'll be watching him drive off in his car as I just watch him go......I'm so very proud, but so very sad. He comes over to me and said

"are you so proud of me mama"

I just melted....I was moosh!

Time just really flies. It makes you realize that you must always cherish and love your children entirely, everyday, every moment this may be just one little step, but those steps just get bigger and bigger and before I'll know it...they'll be gone and I'll be sitting on my porch remembering this very day. I remember like it was yesterday, Izzy taking off in that very same bike for the first time......Geesh! Even though they are getting bigger, older, and accomplishing great things they will ALWAYS be my babies! ( :



My Poppo,

I am so very proud of you! You are such a big boy and mama couldn't be more thankful or proud that I was chosen to be your mama. I love you with all my heart.

P.S. and always remember that you were sent here to rescue me and I would be nothing without you and your sister. It takes the both of you to complete that phrase. ( : Kisses!


In addition Iz gets braces on Monday. She had her spacers put in this morning and I have already received 3 phone calls from school that she is in pain. So I'm off to rescue her and take her to the orthodontics to replace one of her spacers.......She was thrilled before, now I'm not too sure how she's feeling about the idea. Wish us luck and keep us in your prayers for Iz's comfort and my patience. ( :
