Who would I be if

I weren't Alexa, Belle, Jenna and Zoey's mom. A little over 5 yrs ago I became Mom. The 1st yr was totally and completely consumed with being mom. The second year I was pregnant with 3. Year 3,4, and 5 I have had 4 kids. Being a mom is like nothing else. The love you have for your children is amazing. Everyday really is a blessing with kids.
With that being said some pre-mom things I miss are regular haircuts, lazy days, going to the movies, watching non children tv shows and going out. I have found that most of my pre-mom friends have drifted away and some of the things I used to enjoy do not seem as fun anymore. I think now that the girls are older I need to work to find more of a balance between being mom and being me.


On a side note Alexa told me that when she is old and I am really old I can be a slushie maker with her which seems like a great career option for me.

Great wedding weekend

Last weekend Chris's Aunt Laurie got married at a beautiful outdoor winery. Everything was so pretty. I loved that it was a smaller wedding and the bride and groom got to spend a lot of time with all the guests. My favorite part of the wedding was when the bride's nephew walked her down the aisle. It was a very touching moment. The girls were very well behaved and looked super cute in their dresses. Their favorite part of the reception was the balloon artist. He was awesome and could make anything you wanted out of balloons. Alexa got a unicorn, Belle a poodle, Jenna a princess hat and Zoey a ladybug. My awesome Mom went with us to help with the girls and she took the girls back to the hotel so we could have some adult time. All I can say is I love free wine! =) The next morning we took the girls swimming and headed home. It was great to hang out with family that we don't see as much as we would like to. Congrats Laurie and Glen!
