One of those moms







Yeah, I am one of those moms who dress their kids in matching outfits. I am not ashamed to admit it! Nana Jane picked up these adorable outfits while in Minneapolis. If anyone has a way to get all three to look at the camera at the same time, let me know.

There's a monster under my Bed

Last night Oliver had a hard time going to sleep and was still awake when I came home from work at 11pm. As Travis and I were laying in bed starting to doze off, I heard what every mother can hear, the sound of a child trying to sneak into the room. So I sat up and said "Oliver, go back to bed", but I couldn't see him in the dark room. Travis got up and looked in Oliver's bed but he wasn't there either. We are now calling his name, a little worried where he could be. I kept hearing the sound of someone moving in the room(lights still are off) but Oliver wasn't answering us. Finally, Travis turned on our bedroom light and we looked under our bed and there was our "monster". Oliver was laying under our bed!! HOW...WHY...HOW??????
We all three couldn't help but start to laugh at the absurdity.

Mother's Day















My mother's day started out by sleeping in a bit, Travis got up with Sebastian and Oliver at 7:00. They snuck out to the store and got me a donut and flowers, which were beautiful. We went to church and then got food to bring home and eat. After everyone had naps, we started making dinner for Travis's mom and dad who were joining us for dinner. Travis grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, but for the mother's, we got steaks. They were wonderful! We made Jane's favorite dessert, two-toned dessert. Hopefully she felt special. WE are so thankful for both of our mother's. God has blessed us with two Godly mother's who care for us and encourage us.

I am so grateful for the chance to be a mother to my 3 blessings. Oliver kept telling me all day,"happy mother's day". It was so cute how he wanted to make me feel special.
