Sean's 31st Birthday

 Sean turned 31 on May 19th.

He worked from home that day.

The kids wanted him to open presents first thing.

(Ruby wasn't even awake yet.)

He only had presents to open from my parents.

His gift from us/ me was a trip to Kentucky to visit his sister Andrea.

And going to a Mariner's game while he was there.

He left the day after his birthday.

Also, he got grass for his birthday. So he was really spoiled this year!

Tie racks. 

He has A LOT of ties. These are going to be hung up in our closet.

And they're going to make his side of the closet look a lot better.

New cuff links.

Sean is know at church for his cuff links.

That night we had brownies and ice cream.

I sure love this old man!

Mother's Day

 Motherhood is my proudest achievement, if you can call it that.

I'm so proud to be the mother of my four children.

Although motherhood is my greatest source of stress, I learn more through it than anything else.

Being able to witness four tiny humans be born and grow and learn is incredible!

Nothing can compare to being a mom.

I have the hardest but best job.

On Mother's Day I looked back a pictures of me with my kids and got emotional.

And of course on Mother's Day I couldn't help but think of my own mother.

She also happens to be the world's best Grandma.

When I called my mom on Mother's Day, I bawled because I miss her so much.

I wish we lived closer to each other. It breaks my hear that we're so far away from each other.

On Mother's Day, the kids and I took the traditional after church picture together.

I snuggled with Ruby after her napped.

Sean made dinner and then we went on a family walk.

Then the girls pampered me.

They told me I was the Queen and put a crown on my head.

It was the perfect way to end the day.
