Roller Coaster

I just have to say that being a mom is a crazy roller coaster ride. I've been sleep deprived for months now so I'm not functioning at 100% and it makes for interesting days dealing with toddler problems :) The other day I was especially tired with less sleep than usual and Jack and Wyatt seemed to be having a rough morning as well. I can't even remember what the reasons were but it seemed like Jack was crying over everything. It was just a crazy morning so for lunch we decided to go to Wendy's to make the day a little easier and as I was passing french fries back to Jack he says ,"Thanks mom you're so great." I didn't feel like I was so great that day the way it had started out, but I love that little boy and he can make me want to lose it one second and make me smile the next.

The other day the boys were out in the car waiting for me and I ran out and when I got in the car Wyatt wasn't in there yet. I guess I was supposed to grab him on my way out, but didn't realize. So we pulled up closer to the house to run in and grab him and Jack panicked because it looked like we were driving away without the baby and he said, "We can't leave Wyatt he's our best baby and my best friend!" Jack loves his little brother and I can't wait to see them play together.

Now that I have two kids, when we get in our car I have Jack climb in and sit in his car seat and wait for me to come buckle him in after I put Wyatt in. Today when I went around to buckle Jack he was already buckled. I got really excited and told him what a good job he did buckling himself in all by himself and he said, "Thanks mom, I couldn't have done it without you." He makes me laugh and I just wanted to write down a few of the cute and funny things he's said lately because I know I'll forget and I know I've already forgotten so many of them, but being a mom is crazy but so fun and there's nothing else I want to be doing :) I'm so blessed to be able to stay home and take care of my cute boys

This just made me smile. I love Jack, he is always saying the funniest things. I can't wait to see you all in just a few more days!

This is so sweet. Wish we could be there for Wyatt's blessing and hug those cute boys!

Jack is always such a thoughtful boy! He says the funniest, cutest things :) It is pretty amazing how you can go from totally frustrated, overwhelmed, and exhausted by your kid(s) and have your heart melt the next. When Wes wakes up in the middle of the night, which rarely happens anymore, but I'm always so grumpy and annoyed until I go get him and start changing his diaper - he is SOOO smiley and giggly every time that I literally laugh out loud. Being a mom really is the best ever!
