today is my birthday.  another year older and i am okay with that!

i really, honestly have zero problem with getting older.  i truly believe that it just keeps getting better and each year i think this year will be better than the last – and it is!

today i just want to take time to write for me.  for my kids.  for matt.  you guys are the best thing ever to happen to me.  yeah, i know everyone says this, but it is just plain truth.  i am beyond grateful for the life i have, my kids and their health, matt and his ability to change his whole life for us and all the people in my life that inspire me and motivate me to be the best i can be!

my life isn’t always easy. fun. where i thought i would be. etc.  but i must say it is just awesome!  i have so much good in my life and things that i can be thankful for, that on the bad days i remind myself of these things….

one of my goals is to take more pictures of our day to day and be in some of the pictures.  i swear the work of it all falls on the mom and i can get so busy with life, i forget to be in the pictures with my kids!  so even if that means holding out the phone or having one of the kids take it, who cares!  so here are some of us.  nothing special.  lots of blur. visible clutter. iphonography. and not necessarily all happy faces!  watch for a tantrum from easton near the bottom – welcome to terrible 2’s!

thank you matt. taylor. ella. cason. and easton for being a part of my life and journey.  even though you drive me crazy at times, you are the BEST!  and i love and adore each and every one of you!!!

with that said, welcome to a piece of our crazy life!

and thank you to all of you for your birthday wishes via fb, instagram, text, calls, etc.  it isn’t even lunch time and i already am feeling all the LOVE!
