Happy Birthday, Max!

February 1st was a special day all around.  Not only was it the Super Bowl, but it was my beautiful baby boy's birthday.  Max is now 1 year old!  Boy, did time fly!  We celebrated his birthday at Chuck's and Kris' house, surrounded by our family.  We had a wonderful time celebrating the life of sweet Max.  It was a day I will never forget because Max took his first steps on his 1st birthday!  I am trying to get video of him walking.  It is so cute!  We are so happy to have such a beautiful and happy baby boy.  I love him so much, sometimes I just want to bite him!  Happy Birthday, Max!  Your mommy loves you so much!

The Gift of Babies!!!

My Sweet Babies!

Being the 45-year-old mother of two babies two and under I feel overwhelmed most of my life, however when I look into their sweet faces I realize how blessed I am to have them.  Children are the most precious gift we are given from Heavenly Father and I am so thankful for the gifts in my life.

Happy Birthday, my Friend!

As I have said before, I have the most amazing friends.  I wish I had pictures of all of the angels in my life, but unfortunately I don't.  I forgot to mention one of the most precious people in my life when I did the February birthday shoutout, but I think it was meant to be because now I can take a minute and tell everyone about my friend Clarisee.  I met this most amazing woman in my dental office about 10+ years ago.  She came in as a patient and we struck up a conversation.  It is so interesting to me that someone I don't even know can immediately touch my heart like she did.  She is one of the most beautiful women, inside and out and I am so blessed to call her my friend.  So to you my friend, Happy Birthday and I wish for you all the desires of your heart on your special day!  I will be thinking of you every minute of tomorrow, February 13th, and celebrating your life!  I love you my friend, until we can laugh and cry over coffee, thank you for who you are and the friend you are to me.   xoxo   Lisa

The "Other Man in my Life"

"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." ~Elizabeth Stone

It is hard to believe that it was a year ago that Max came into our lives. His beginning was difficult and scary for those around him, but his little life has blessed ours in so many ways. He is the "other man in my life" and I am so thankful and humbled to be his mother. He is the sweetest little boy and always brings me and those around him so much joy. His early birth made me realize how precious life is and that we should cherish each moment we have with those that we love. We have no idea what the future holds, we may not be able to say "I'm sorry" or "I love you." We need to live each day as though it were our last. I was listening to the radio the other day and they were talking about what dying people think about. Not one of them said, "he made me mad," or "look how much money I have," or "I am such a powerful person." Each person they talked to said that what they thought about was their family, their loved ones, and those close to them. They wanted to surround themselves with the people that they love. It made me realize that life isn't about our possessions or our position, it is about surrounding ourselves with the people that we love and who love us. I love you Max, with all my heart and I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father that you are healthy and happy. Everyday I pray for courage, patience, strength and love so I can be the mother you deserve.

If I had my child to raise all over again,

I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
~Diane Loomans, from "If I Had My Child To Raise Over Again"
