My Boys

I am truly blessed to be the mom of two terrific little boys. Logan, our oldest, is going to be celebrating his 3rd birthday in a few weeks. I can not believe he is going to be 3. Logan has changed so much this past year. He is now a big brother and a wonderful one at that! He loves his little brother. He hugs and kisses him and just loves on him all the time. He is also talking more and more every day. In fact, we had a cute moment with him tonight. He came out to Dustin and I while Dustin was on the couch eatting a bag of popcorn. Popcorn is Logan's favorite these days. I just recently started letting him have popcorn and so it is a big deal when he gets it. So, because it was bed time we didn't want him to have any and when we told him no, he stood by Dustin and put his nose up to the popcorn bag and said, "Mmm, so good" in the sweetest little voice. It was the cutest thing! I am amazed by him daily. For some reason, this week he especially looks like such a big boy to me. We are very excited to celebrate his birthday with him.

Then there is my Luke. He is already 8 months old and more crazy than ever. He is still mama's boy. Mama can't go very far without him, but that is O. K. I know that one day he won't need his mama so much, so for now I am going to enjoy the closenss. Luke is rolling all over and has started scooting around on the floor. He is quick when he is on the floor. For the past few months, I have been putting him in his saucer to play while I work around the house. Now, he doesn't like to be confined to the saucer. He wants to be on the move. Also, to my hearts delight he has started saying "mama mama ma." I can't tell you what hearing your child say that means to a mother. I don't know whether he knows that "mama mama ma" is me or not, but I am taking it any way I get it!

Again in closing, I am going to say how truly blessed I am to have my two boys. There was a time that I didn't know if I would have any babies and God has blessed Dustin and I with two wonderful boys that we are forever thankful for.

I have attached a couple of pictures I took of them this past week which means that I finally downloaded about 100+ pictures from my camera to the computer. So, enjoy my babies!

My Playlist

I have visited other blogs that have playlists and I thought it added a nice touch to their blog. So, I decided to add a playlist to my blog. My playlist consists of some of my favorite songs and some that have had an impact on my life. I hope you all enjoy listening to the music as you read my posts. I figured if you were bored by my post then at least you can listed to some music. Enjoy.

Have a great weekend!

My Favorite Things

I seem to have a bit of writer's block. I have attempted to post a few times but can't put all of my thoughts together in a way that makes sense. So, I thought I would share a few of my favorite things. Now, I don't want to sound shallow so let me preface this by saying that these are obviously not the most important things in my life, just simply some of my favorite things. Here are my 10 favorite things:

1. Reality T.V. (Big Brother 9 is my current fav)
2. McDonald's Sweet Tea (I am currently addicted to it!)
3. Starbucks' Marble Loaf (a must try for everyone) and Starbucks in general
4. Whole Foods (just went there for the first time this past weekend and LOVED it!)
5. Clinique make up and skin care
6. Target
7. Word Searches and Puzzles
8. Paul Mitchell Freeze and Shine Super Spray (a bit pricey but worth it)
9. Karen Kingsbury books (Christian Fiction)
10. Purses

Well, you may not find it interesting and I apologize for that but at least when I go to my parents house tonight, they won't get on my case for not blogging in a while!
