Date day!

Today started our very first monthly Trey and Mommy date :) 

We started at the library where we picked up some Clifford books. He made sure to tell all the nice ladies that we were on a SPECIAL date.

Then we headed to Walmart to get some popcorn and a redbox... We got sidetracked when I got a bloody nose in the bathroom for about 10 minutes (which translates into an eternity for a 2 year old... Especially when he is scared of the automatic toiled that I swear could suck you right in when it flushes every 30 seconds!) When we finally got to the checkout stand he insisted one of those giant suckers that I already know will be a sticky red mess all over my couch come movie time, but that's ok :) it's our SPECIAL date!

Next up was lunch at Rupes! He got to tell the nice waitress what he wanted for lunch "ALL his by-shelf" a corndog with Fwench fwies and lemonade. He loved riding the motorcycle while we waited for our food, and we of course topped off lunch with a swirl cone. 

Last but not least, we hit up the quarter machine and got a stretchy yoyo! It was a perfect little date with my favorite 2 year old :) I sure do love getting to be this kids mom!

After all that play and no nap... We sat down to read and Clifford had him down for the count by 6:00pm :)

Moments like these

"Just eatin drowberries and watching kitis george!" 

It's moments and mispronounced phrases like this that I know I'm going to miss so much some day! Trey is growing up right before my eyes and I love watching it happen.

Happy to be a momma today!

Love this

These texts always seem to come at just the moment I need them, and make my whole day better. 

Love/Hate

Kanon,

It's 6:09am and you have been asleep since 9:30pm. This is the first time you have slept through the night in your short 8 weeks of life. And although I am grateful for the full night of sleep. I have probably checked at least 6 times in the last hour to make sure you're still breathing :) Mommy paranoia is a love/hate relationship. Even in the littlest thing like 9 hours of sleep, I know this is one more tiny milestone you just reached and it makes me realize all the more how fast time flies. I have loved watching you grow even for just two months, and sometimes wish I could stop time for you and your big brother. I love letting you be little, but find so much joy in watching you grow also. Thank you for coming into my life so that I can watch, snuggle, worry about, and love you.

Sleep tight sweetheart,

Love Mommy

25 resolutions!

I saw this on Facebook today and as I was reading it I agreed with all 25 points. I think this is a great list of reminders to keep my marriage the first priority in my life... Here's to 25 New Years resolutions!

Kanon Dash Lee

It's been a crazy couple months at our house to say the least! We listed our house for sale, moved in with Lloyd's parents for a few weeks before planning to move back into our house which hadn't sold... THEN got an offer on our house... Changed all our plans and ended up living with Grandma and Grandad for almost two months instead of two weeks, closed on our house, found a new place to rent, and are now 2 days away from moving to our new place! 

But most of all, we are the happy new parents of another adorable baby boy. Kanon joined our family on December 23rd at 4:42 am. He weighed 7lb 4oz (what a light weight after a 9lb 4oz Treyson!!) and 21 1/2" long. He had lots of brown hair and is just perfect. Treyson is such a great big brother and makes sure to say... Awe! Baby Brudder is SO cute!! Every time he comes near him :)

More details to come after we're settled in our new place...

 38 weeks and 5 days... On our way out the door to head for the hospital

Big Brother

Treyson,

You are almost a big brother. I am 2 weeks away from my due date and we doubt your little brother will actually wait that long to meet you. I want you to know how much Daddy and I love you.

I came upstairs to check on you before going to bed and found your Dad laying next to you, watching you sleep. I also realized as I laid beside you earlier tonight that you won't be my baby boy much longer and a part of me is sad to see that happen. 

Your dad and I have spent countless hours watching you, sleep, grow and learn these last two years. We stay awake stressing over all the things we may be doing wrong in your life and pray for you every single day, and would do just about anything to make you happy. I hope that as our lives change and our family continues to grow that you never ever forget that you are loved by your parents.

I am so blessed to have you and your sweet, happy spirit in my life and can't wait to keep watching you grow. You will always be my first baby boy no matter how many times you become a big brother again. I love you with all my heart.

-Mommy
