Family pictures

I am not quite sure what weekend or holiday these were taken but it's not often I have family pictures. I am guessing this was Easter weekend since Sean was not with us. I have to admit I hate when he is not with us because his spot in the picture is right behind Austin.

How handsome are my guys!

So there you have it, some recent family pictures.

Mother's Day

For a very special amazing woman that I call Mom....Mommy Dearest you will always be

My mother so loving and so loved by me

For God has taken you to be by his side

Now in Heaven is where you will reside

You have blessed my life in so many ways

I will cherish our memories until the end of my days

You left me too soon and this was not part of our plan

But God's wishes always come before those of a man

Without you I must travel the path alone

No longer my guide, the way you had shown

Your heart may have been weak, but you were strong

For your loving embrace I will always long

God sent you to me as a special gift from above

To teach me life's lessons and shower me with your love

I will always remember your beautiful and smiling face

In my heart you will always have a very special place

A special bond we shared like no other

For this is possible for only a Daughter and Mother

I thanked God for each day we were able to share

But without you in my life it is too difficult to bear

Being with God, I hope you will find joy and peace

In this I can find comfort and some happiness at least

For Mommy Dearest you will always be

My Mother so loving and so loved by me

And then I became a Mom.....

It hasn't always been easy but being a mom has taught me so much and the most important thing is I never knew how much I could love someone. Being a mom has taught me patience and understanding and how deal with everyone else coming before myself.

And just when I thougth my life was fulfilled, I achieved the biggest accomlishment of my life. I am the very proud Mommy of two of the most precious boys in the world. I know without a doubt God chose me to be the Mommy to Colby and Austin and I can't thank Him enough.

My mom has this poem still framed at home and I love it....

There's two to wash, two to dry

Two who argue

And two who cry.

There's two to kiss

Two to hug

and best of all

Two to love!

Thank you God for blessing me with the most amazing mom and trusting me to raise your children. I am very lucky to have such a wonderful family and life has taught me to treasure each and every day and memory.

Daddy's birthday

Guess who is a year older.....You got it, the smiling Daddy in the middle of all of his guys. When not sure what to get Pat for his birthday, we know something Longhorn is always a good idea.
I helped make these at work for Pat.

Just a lil safety to go along with his new bike.
Daddy had a great birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed celebrating with him. The boys are always up for a holiday that involves cake and ice cream.

We Love you Pat.

Batter Up....more T-Ball

There are so many pictures of t-ball this year by playing two games every week but I picked some of my recent favorite ones to share. There is nothing like a father and son moment.....love this picture!
Silly batter....I love the smiles he gives me on a daily basis.

We have enjoyed the boys playing t-ball this year and I have enjoyed watching Pat bond with the boys. There is just something about a dad and his boys.
