My life revolves around my children and husband 24/7. I do not have a nanny to help out so I can have lunch with my girlfriends. I do not have a maid so I can spend my time at parks and go to movies with my kids. And I do not have millions of dollars to take them on amazing trips around the world, but I have unconditional love to give them and I would give up my own life for them if I had too. True motherhood is going to OB/Gyn and having to tell your kids to "turn around and stare at the wall" or going to court to get out of a speeding ticket while all your kids are tugging on your clothes asking "can we have something to eat" or "can we go yet?" My husband has to work his butt off to keep food in our bellies and a roof over our head and I have to keep the children safe and educated. We are a true family that get's nothing handed to us. I don't have that person to just drop my kids off with if I am sick or stressed out. We live in real life. And here it is.

Our son is the sweetest most loving child you will ever know. Anyone who is lucky enough to meet him or know him will know humor and love. His dad is his hero and he spends is time trying to do anything he can to make his daddy proud of him. He would be happy as can be to spend every waking moment watching and playing football or baseball. He will cheer on the Vikings as loud as his dad does and with all this tough boy demeanor he still manages to run over to mom and say I love you with a great big hug.

Our sweet precious red head is such a blessing in our lives. She is all girl, make no mistake about that! She loves heels and dresses and continuously tells me that she cannot wait to wear a bra!?!?!? She is incredibly gifted with brains and beauty. I sit back and look at her in amazement sometimes of what to do when your child is smarter then you!

The precious gift God knew I needed. We thought we were all done having children when I found out God had other plans. I could not believe I was having a third and it took some time to adjust. But boy does God know what he is doing. Our family would not have been truely complete without her in it. She is such a silly little girl with a laugh that brightens a room. Everyday she wakes up more beautiful and that still amazes me. She has everyone wrapped around her fingers and she knows it. She is so smart and full of spunk and keeps us on our toes.
Umm, who doesnt! I wanna here about your weekend getaway!
