Happy Mother's Day

Last year this time I was the mother to an 18 Month old and 6 months pregnant with our little Jackson.  Last year was not necessarily the perfect Mother's Day, take a peak:

THIS YEAR......
 Ed and the boys surprised me with a new iphone and a gorgeous new coral leather COACH purse. The boys gave me the sweetest card, and Ed wrote me the nicest message as well.  Then we headed to Pennsylvania for the weekend where we had a great Mother's Day lunch with Ed's family on Saturday.  It was beautiful outside, and we sat around the pool, watched the kids play and just celebrated all of the moms in the family.  Today we had a great Mother's Day breakfast at my parents before getting on the road to head back to New Jersey.  The most fabulous part of the weekend was sleeping in until 9am this morning. It was the best Mother's Day yet!!


LOOKING BACK.......
Since last year we have been blessed with a new addition to our family, our sweet Jackson, we have watched Caden grow into an incredible little boy, and since last year I have realized even more that I am so blessed to be the Mommy two these to little boys.
Being a Mommy is without a doubt the hardest job I have ever hard, but it also the most rewarding too.  The smiles that I get when I walk in to get the boys out of their cribs, the kisses from Caden, the sweet touch of Jackson's chubby little hands on my face, the snuggles from Caden and the way he tells me "I uve you to the moon and back" and of course Jackson's sweet belly laughs are what makes me count my blessings each and everyday.

THANKFUL.....
 I would be remiss if I did not mention all of the amazing mother's in our lives.
