Mother's Day 2013
My 5th year celebrating life as a mom. How different this one feels than when I was pregnant in May 2009. So worried, hoping my little peanut was growing right on target and praying every day for a healthy and happy baby. So blessed to have both!
This mother's day was the absolutely perfect day. No big plans... just our little family of 3. The morning brought snuggles and cartoons, the afternoon brought a quick trip to Adventureland and playing with the neighbors, the night brought Andy spoiling me with a delicious supper!
I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be a mom. I learned from the best, Andy learned from the best and together, we love, nurture and teach Rea the lessons, manners, and love that we were taught.
Happy Mother's Day!
My precious baby girl...
My amazing toddler...

Movin' On Up
Andy has always been one of my biggest cheerleaders... When I have doubts, he affirms me. When I'm down, he lifts me up. When I'm pouty, grouchy, and cry for no good reason, he can always make me laugh. Always.
So it only seemed fitting that I return the favor. I am so proud of my husband- he took the classes, studied hard, passed the tests and successfully achieved his LUTCF designation and was admitted into the manager boot camp 9 month program at work. He prepared, interviewed like a rock star and is working his way up. I couldn't be happier for him!
At the same time, our dear friend Davy graduated so it was the perfect opportunity for a double surprise party! Annette and I hosted the shindig on Saturday night and everything went off without a hitch! The guys were surprised and we had the best time celebrating with all our friends. A huge thank you to all for helping us celebrate our guys!
As an added side bonus, the bar had a band and Andy got to play a song (drums) with them- definitely something to check off his bucket list! He rocked it!

Certificate of Completion
Wednesday night was Reagan's last dance class of the 2012-2013 season.
I love seeing the progress that she's made- from being shy on the sidelines to running into class yelling 'hi!' to her new friends. She usually asks me a couple times a week, 'Do I have dance tonight mommy?'
During the last class the teacher presented each student with a pin and a certificate. Rea was so proud! Each girl took a bow and enjoyed applause. She will have a couple dance events throughout the summer- Music in the Park and the Iowa State Fair. Fun times I'm sure!
Here's to a great dance season and many more to come!
