{ M's 7th and 10 on Tuesday:}

 I ♥early mornings like this one from this morning
I ♥birds
I♥warmth
I♥the month of MAY
I was married in may
New things are growing
I became a mother for the 3rd time on Mothers Day 7 years ago when this little man was born...and our lives changed forever....
with this ball of fire:)

 I ♥this boy 

Our baby M TURNED 7 TODAY!! SO Hard to believe he is 7..

Happy Birthday Mater:) I♥ that his nickname 

{from cars he loved it when he was little and its stuck with him ever since:)

seriously look at that toothless laugh how can you not ♥that

{thanks Grandma B for the nature book he ♥'s it! }
  I ♥ that we used matches as candles because we couldn't find any candles;) I ♥ this boys enthusiasm for life since the day he could start moving he hasn't stopped.... I ♥ that he loves people, the outdoors, being busy, He is crazy and in high gear from early morning hours to late night, I♥that he doesn't care what others think of him if its a dress up day or something that everyone is doing..he's okay doing his own thing....

I♥this boy and every year that he gets older I am constantly reminded of the court battle we won to have this little boy part of our ETERNAL family FOREVER..because we cannot imagine our lives without him....

He is always smiling, teasing, laughing or running from someone or getting into some kind of trouble {its a miracle I'm not totally crazy by now;) and that he's pretty much alive;) still♥♥

He keeps us aware, on our toes and constantly needs a good old pep talk short memory? not sure:)

He loves wearing his swimsuit all summer and is usually found barefoot

He loves water!

He's my best eater and he is a great hugger.....

{for .2 seconds that is} 

He hates to be restrained in anyway... shape or form:((

He loves friends and school but has found it hard to settle down he just loves helping others;) in class 

He is a fun boy!! and ALL BOY!! WE sure love HIM!!! 

Happy Birthday BIG M!!!

He only wanted Chima Lego for his birthday it was so cute how excited he was on a 20 dollar kit ....then we showed him his new bike not sure if I've ever seen him so surprised and happy SO CUTE!! forgot to get a picture of it though maybe tomorrow:)

Sunday was mothers day and we had my parents over for some Cafe Rio SO good! Sweet pulled pork salad my favorite even better homemade!!

 I♥reading what my kids write in their simple writing and own words so sweet. K decided he was to cool to do one at school so he made me a lego Eiffel tower and the I♥U in lego:) Love these little ones!! I feel SO blessed to know each of our children's birth mothers who unselfishly placed their sweet babies into my arms and made me a mother... Forever blessings each one.

I♥the sunsets and sunrises of spring summer every season but especially when we get the opportunity to see both in the same day!!
