the kiddos...

while being a stay-at-home mom to two children and one on the way, i sometimes picture myself running out the front door with my hands in the air screaming for mercy....

the only thing is, i think i would just turn right back around, and run even faster right back to these kids.

even though they drive me so crazy...
i. love. them.



trey just turned 7,
and i do believe that he is more handsome than ever.
that sideways baseball cap (he wears one everyday now), 
those blue eyes,
orange hair,
and freckles are impossible for a mama to resist.



lucy is coming up very swiftly on 5 years.


i think, that she is the prettiest little almost 5 year old ever.
she's got those ruby earrings (that she refuses to let me change),
those perfect little teeth,
and that sassy attitude that drives me insane but i wouldn't change one single bit.



lately she is very much into babies and animals.
she is so nurturing it amazes me.
here she is feeding the goats at a berry farm last week.



so instead of running out front door screaming for mercy...i have really been focusing on enjoying this time with my little ones...and when things get really bad just turning to chocolate :o)



we had someone snap this picture of us after trey's birthday party.
for those of you wanting to see me in all my pregnant glory there you have it, and that will teach you to ask. :o)

You look absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I'm so excited you are up and blogging again (I'll be back blogging real soon-I just have too much to blog that it overwhelms me). It's been fun reading your posts...especially this last one...I'm right there with you. Somedays I think I'm going completely nuts, but I would never give it up and go back to work (as much as I would like to somedays). Thanks for helping me see the bright side of it all...I need to do that more often!

parenting is a test of our sanity. But sometimes we need to loose it a little and really enjoy life and our kids. Good luck with your third!

I've so enjoyed your last several posts- my older little guy is convinced his younger brother is a sabotage to his life as well it seems :/ Trey and Lucy both are such beautiful kids! You do phenomenal at capturing life with them! I'm remembering a post of them jumping on the bed sans school work ;) Good luck in this last stretch, hon :) I think of you often and wish the best always!
