This year was my third Mother's Day, and it was the best one yet!!! My mom came and spent the weekend with us. Bobby cooked us tasty steaks on Sat for our Mother's day dinner, then we sat out on the rocking chairs and had some drinks. It was so relaxing! My mom had to leave on Sunday early because it takes her a long time to get home now and it was raining like crazy. Therefore, I went out shopping on my own. Shopping with no kids is such a joy!!! :) I went to Kohl's and Target, got some cute clothes and a few things for the house as well. When I came home, both of the boys were napping, so I tried to take a nap, but couldn't (unfortunately, that has been the case for a while now. And you know how much I love my naps!!) After the boys got up from their naps, they gave me the cards that they made me. Tanner was so excited to give them to me! I got three cards, one from Tanner, Brennan, and Bobby. All of the cards had tickets for me to pick. Tanner was sure to tell me that I could only pick one each day and helped me choose the tickets.
I have now picked all of the tickets from each card. Tanner's were things like "clean up toys, help make dinner, vacuum, etc." Brennan's were "stop fussing, clean my plate (which he always does), kisses, etc" And Bobby's were.....well let's just say that they all said the same thing! I'll leave it at that.
Bobby and I put the kids to bed and had a romantic dinner just the two of us, then watched a movie. It was a fun and relaxing Mother's day. I am so blessed to have Bobby as my hubby and best friend. I am so blessed to have two sweet and loving little boys. And I am also so blessed to have the world's best mommy (I know, I am biased), who celebrated 3 years of not smoking this Mother's day!

What's up?
What's up? Well, tons! I have so many updates I don't even know where to start! But here goes nothing:
The BIG move: We made our big move near Atlanta. We are about 45 mins north of the city, right near the mountains! Our house has everything we need, a playroom for the boys, a big kitchen, a nice open living room, and a huge yard! We are so happy with our new house, but we miss all of our friends in the Carolinas! Come visit!! :)
Potty'ing: Tanner is working on potty'ing!! He found his "big boy" underwear (CARS) and asked if he could wear them. I told him that he had to tell Mommy when he had to pee or poop if he's wearing them. He agreed, and we put them on. Five mins and two pairs of underwear later, I gave up! Then the next morning, he asked again and I said "Ok, let's try again." This time he only had 1 accident, which was when we were playing outside, and ever since then, he has been wearing underwear all day except when sleeping!! :) We started with rewarding him with candy (M&M's) when we used the potty. I told him if he went poop on the potty, he could have a LOT of candy.....he somehow managed to poop every time he used the potty. Then he would get made if I only gave him 1 piece of candy. Lesson learned....only 1 piece of candy for using the potty!!! He has been using the potty for about a month now, and he hardly ever asks for candy anymore, but if he does, I still give him a piece! :)
Easter: My mom and Jon came for Easter sunday. We did an egg hunt with the boys and fried a turkey. Our first holiday in our new house-what fun!
My cousin, Stephanie's, wedding: Bobby and I traveled to Asheville for my cousin's wedding. My in-laws came to watch the boys, so we had an adult weekend (Woohooo) :) On Friday night, we went to the reception dinner. We had so much fun drinking and catching up with family!! Saturday, Bobby and I walked around downtown Asheville. Bobby made sure that we hit up every craft beer bar, well maybe not EVERY, but many! We did a little shopping with the fam and went back to the hotel to get ready for the wedding!! The wedding was wonderful! Stephanie looked stunning, Rob's family did the music for the ceremony, and the dance floor was hopping!! Congrats Stephanie and Rob!! :)
Brennan: My baby is almost 15 months old! He is cruising (a little) on the furniture, but not walking yet. He loves to dance and clap his hands. He just started blowing kisses! It's the sweetest!!
That's all I can think of, I am sure that I have missed a few things, but it's getting late and I'm sleepies! Here's some pics for ya!!
