Happy Mother's Day!

For the most part, I enjoy being a mom. If I could change anything, it would be to stay home with my kids. However, its not even a possibility so I need to get over it and quit feeling guilty. One day soon, I believe we can make it happen. When I was expecting Riley I said that I would stay home if he was a girl...well 3 boys later I am still working, so unless I get a girl...! The one good thing about working, is that my boys made the cutest gifts at their daycare centers and school. Since they brought them home for me yesterday, I just thought that I would post them...they all made me cry! What wonderful boys I have!

Brock is such a sweet little baby! These handprints are so precious! His favorite thing to do with them is to eat them and he has been chewing on them so much that his hands are starting to get raw, so we have started giving him a binky. He is grabbing at everything he can and continues to grow way too fast! The saying on the picture says: "Sometimes you get discouraged because I am so small, and always leave my handprints on the furniture and walls. But everyday I'm growing big, and soon I'll be so tall, then all my little handprints will be hard to recall. So here are special handprints just so you can say...this is how my handprint looked when I placed them here today."

Tyler is way too wild! He is definitely all boy and there is nothing that scares him or stops him! He wants to be just like Riley and his favorite activity is sneaking in Riley's room to play with all the cool big boy toys! He is very lovable too. He has his 3rd ear infection since the first week of April as well as a fever virus...had a temp of 103 last night! Hopefully it goes away quick!

Riley is getting super big...can't believe he will be 7 on Wednesday! He is doing so well academically and socially...look at how well he is doing writing! He wrote this note at school and brought me home a flower. He is done with 1st grade on May 28. He is becoming such a great big brother and setting a really good example for Tyler and is so patient with him. His favorite activity is still to play video games and he loves to play with his friend Robbie too!
