The Amazing Me!!

This week was quite a big week at school for the kids.
Will have one more post later about our week.
This was Brooklin's week to be "The Amazing Me" in her class.
This means she decorates a poster about herself, line leader all week, calendar helper, and a little get together at the end of the week.
This is her poster she decorated with help of course.

Here she is standing in front of the class explaining everything she put on her poster.

On her poster it asks her name, age, where she lives, a picture of herself, family, friends, pet, and favorite food, color, & book.

The kids were allowed to ask her questions about anything not on the poster.
She selected from the hands raised.

Some of the questions she was asked...

Favorite Vacation: Nashville, TN (hmm?)
Favorite Breakfast: eggs with toast & cheese.
Favorite Animal: Fish

That was a big week for Brooklin. So glad she felt special.
I happen to think she is pretty Amazing too!!!

My Mother's Day!!

Well, I have been out of touch with blog land lately. I have been working on getting my life back on a normal schedule. My little Coco Puff has slept through the night since day 1, but the new schedule is not in place yet as I am still trying to get the feedings, nap times, diaper/clothing changings and any other baby/kid stuff that comes up through out our days. It has thrown me off a bit the past few weeks. It's sounds anal but I must have a schedule in this house to keep things running smoothly especially if I want to have any "Me" time. Urgh!!! I do love all this home ec type of stuff though. I love my fam, and making sure they have all their needs met. Ok, I must be sounding sappy now. So on to my wonderful Mother's Day I had.

This is how my special day started....

Yes breakfast in bed served by my Kameron. He had told his dad while they were at the grocery store the day prior, "Dad, we need to make mom breakfast in bed tomorrow, so we need this and this and this"....

My breakfast menu included 2 eggs over easy, heart shaped corned-beef hash, 2 slices of toast, 1 cinnamon roll, and an orange slice with mint leaf and a large glass of orange juice.
My favorite part of course was the heart shaped hash. I'll tell you these two men in my life know how to get to my heart, beautiful food on a plate.
Guess what? I ate every bite while I was visiting with my guests on my bed. Kameron, Brooklin and Coco Puff(Addi).
Brooklin kept asking for a bite of this and that and a drink of my OJ.
So what would Mom's day be without sharing your food with your children.

They even thought of Mema's breakfast...how sweet was that?
We all love that Mema is still staying with us after Addi's arrival.

The day was then enjoyed with doing exactly what I wanted. I enjoyed my kids and had quite the lazy day.

Then for dinner, Hugo grilled.
We had BBQ chicken, baked potatoes, corn, and french bread.

I even got to do a little baking. If you haven't tried cake mix cookies. You really should. They were amazing and I think thru-out the rest of the day I kept coming back to them for another. They were a huge hit in my house.

My best Mother's Day prize..my little Coco Puff. She's getting a little belly.
I love it!!

Did I tell you I love this man? He is one amazing husband and father.
He's just perfect!! I am so very thankful for my blessings.

This is my other favorite man. He is a spitting image of the big one.
I love this boy!!!

This is my Brooklin. She is my Tomboy. This is the book she made for me.
It's called "My Marvelous Mom".
I love it. She drew black spiky hair, blue eyes, pink lips and a green nose(not sure how I got a green nose, I hope it doesn't mean what it does).
Then she drew black heart everywhere because that is what I answered as my favorite color.Me and my favorite girls.
They're all different and special to me in their own ways.
Life gets no better than this.

This is my prize from Kameron. He made the wrapping and card as well as the prize inside.
I love these presents best of anything that could be purchased.

The card he made.

This is the beautiful hand painted tile he made for me. It says "You are my Sunshine" and Happy Mothers Day!

Mema and her gift from all of us kids. Twings, Anderson's and Egle's.
It's a desk chair for her desk. It was shipped to Nashville, that's the reason for the picture.
A little difficult to fit in her suitcase.

Our Mema and the kids.

We had an amazing day together.
Let me say to my mom...
We are all so thankful to you for staying with us longer than originally planned.
You have stayed to assist our entire family with all the duties of our family and home.
You have done an amazing job of keeping up with all the going's on of the now 6 of us.
We have enjoyed you being in our home again and we all appreciate all your hard work(even your son-in-law).
Some days were more difficult than others and much more hectic than you expected.
Even though I am back up on my feet and able to get back into the groove, you have still helped to allow me to spend some bonding time with our little Addi. I would not have had so much time getting to know her and take care of her if you were not here to help.
I cannot ever repay you for all you have done.
You even re-decorated the kids rooms while you have been here(will show pics on a later post).
On behalf of my entire Egle bunch of 6,
We want to say thank you and We love you!!
You have gone beyond the call of duty as a Mom and Mema!

Well, I think that covers our special day. Sorry for the long post, but it's been awhile. Hopefully, it wont take so long for the next one.

Hope you all had an amazing day like I did!!

Thanks for checking in..

Welcome Adoration Capri....

So where have I been???
I was wondering if ya'll were wondering if something happened then I realized that I posted about my pregnancy and thought you all probably put two and two together. Although I didn't plan on being away this long and had a few more posts planned prior to our new arrival but....
some things in life cannot be planned.

Well, here she is our new little joy in our house, family, life...
they sure do take over don't they? No matter how little they are upon arrival, no matter how much you say you will stay the same, no matter what else is going on in your life, your life instantly changes forever and you sure don't know what life was like just minutes prior to their arrival.

We love her sooooo much already....the minute she arrived the love was overwhelming...

What do you think of that Boppy Cover? Please share your thoughts for real...Yes, it's mine. My sweet mom made it for me when I couldn't really find one that was really me.
This one is sooo me!!! I love it so much...it's soft zebra fur, and the flower on top is so flexible and has a cute stem.
I will be taking pics later and posting them.
Let me know if you are interested in one.

Well there she is..we waited for her so long...an extra 2 weeks at that.
Yes, I was 2 weeks overdue.
She was warm and snuggly and made us all wait.
She was well worth the wait.
We love her sooo much already...not sure how that love is implanted so quickly but it works and its a true love that cannot be removed but only to grow and grow more.

The photography is from our dear friend Jocelyn...I have written about her several times in the past..she came to our house to do this pics...thank goodness..what a blessing for a new mom. Thank you Jocelyn!! You know I am your #1 fan. I love you and your amazing work.
Check out her site and keep checking it out.
If you want to schedule her, you better hurry, she is getting more and more busy. The cat is out of the bag.

The only thing I would change about these pictures is that my sweet Shine being here for them. She flew to see my sister in Nashville for spring break and missed this photo session. We will be seeing Jocelyn again very soon to take some more, so we will have a session for Shine and the kids.
We miss you my Sweet Shine!!!

There are sooo many posts I have planned...I actually started writing them down because I don't want to forget any. Mostly about our little Addi. That's pretty much our focus. I know that some would say that is not good but I say, the time goes sooo fast with our children and I am enjoying it as long as I can.
It seems to me that it even goes faster when you have more than one...now our house has 4...oh my!! I hope I still have time to blog..lol!!

Thanks for stopping by!!
Please leave a comment to tell me you were here!!
So much more to share but it must wait.
