27.

Um what??

27.

That feels old??

I am three years from the big 30!!!! I remember my 21st birthday like it was yesterday...:)

Here's the thing about birthdays...they are a blessing. I am grateful that I have made it another year...I am grateful that on my 27th year I will earn the most precious title of "Mommy". I am grateful that I had my amazing family, friends, and husband to celebrate with. I missed my friend Lindie on my birthday this year..I am sad that she was not here to wish me a happy birthday. This was the first year in 11 years where her name did not pop up on my cellphone on May 16th.  I am purely grateful for ALL the birthdays I spent with her..because I damn near spent every one with her...and for those special birthdays I am grateful.

Here is a little glimpse of my fun birthday weekend with family!

Friday afternoon... I spyed three friends having "fun"at our neighborhood pool. My husband is the hairy hood rat :)

My annual Birthday Coffee brought to me by my husband!

Life Lately

Life lately has been Baby Showers and Mother's Day celebrations, lounging by the pool on the weekends, and lots and lots of naps :) I have reached the point in my pregnancy where I am TIRED. ALL. THE.TIME. I guess its God's way of preparing me for many sleepless nights and days...Ill take the naps while I can though!!!!

Swollen and 8 Months pregnant!!! 

Feeling more than large at work

Someone sent my baby this beautiful little picture..with no name or card?? I love it so much!!!!!

Walked into his room this morning drinking my coffee and felt  just beyond grateful that I get to bring a tiny new life home to love on. 

We celebrated Mother's day at the Ranch!!! 

I cooked my mom a Mothers Day supper which included; Steamed Artichokes with a lemon garlic butter sauce, Mahi Mahi, and a yummy pasta! 

Shopping at Target 

Riding around the Ranch.. this never gets old. I cannot wait to watch my son romp around these beautiful grounds!

Bliss.

We have chickens now too!! So fresh eggs for everyone!!!!

A dear special teacher friend of mine handmade this quilt for baby Jax..how special!

And our maternity session!!!!
