Happy Birthday Benjamin!

Today our sweet little guy turned two years old. As all parents say, it feels just like yesterday that he was born. The time has flown by and it truly is bittersweet watching him grow from a precious little baby to a sweet, fun-loving little boy.

We started Benjamin's special day with homemade cinnamon rolls before Nathan went on duty, complete with candles and a balloon.

After his daddy left for work, Benjamin spent the morning playing with his new Thomas-the-Train set Grandma Peggy and Papa Kevin gave him. Then it was off to the park where he ran and jumped, slid and climbed on the play structure before chowing down on an In-n-Out burger and fries (his favorite!) with Aunt Laura and cousins Weston and Wyatt. I made macaroni and cheese for dinner (another fave of his) and we took a trip to the fire station to see Daddy and the "woo-woo's" before stopping for a scoop of ice cream on the way home. It was a day all about Benjamin and we loved every minute of it. Happy Birthday Benjamin! We love you!

Goodbye June, Hello July!

We made it. We survived the month of June. This past month was totally insane. Every weekend was filled with birthday parties, graduation ceremonies and celebrations, class reunions, and baby showers. The weekdays were spent preparing for all those events and sometimes even more parties or family dinners were held on the week nights. Of course we wanted to add to the chaos, so we threw in a camping trip up to Hume for a week as well, coming home the night before I hosted a large baby shower and family birthday dinner for Ray & Laura and their boys. Finally, to cap off the month, I attended a week-long Montessori class in SLO, requiring me to find childcare every day and get myself and both boys up and out of the house by 8 each morningYep, total madness. Oh, and did I mention that we decided to redo the front planters and while we were at it, go ahead and finally put some plants in along our driveway? Of course, I wanted it done before the party, so by the time I got my act t...

It Wasn't Supposed to be Like This

Has it really been almost a year since I've wrote on this blog? I know that I posted my farewell to the Atascadero Fire Department back in March, but the last post before that occurred all the way back to last summer...yikes! So this is how blogs just fade away... Life is busy. Between all the duties that come along with being a wife and a mom, as well as my responsibilities outside of the home, I'm just exhausted at the end of the day. And truth be told, being a mother these days has not been fun, so I really haven't wanted to write about it.  Benjamin is hard. Really hard. As in, I usually cry at least a few times a week, if not daily, from sheer frustration with him. You've heard of the term "strong willed child?" Ben could be the poster child for that book. The two of us are so much alike. We both fight for control and power and we do it poorly, in the form of threats, screams, and hands thrown up in exasperation. On one particular night, the defian...
