Everyone has something they look forward to during their day, whether it be that first morning coffee or that hot relaxing bath (the relaxing hot bath at the end of my day is pretty high up on my list).
I have two parts of my day that I just love. I wish I could bottle up the feeling and carry it with me at all times.
The first part is my mornings with Joshua. He is so talkative and generally in a good mood. He just wants to talk and engage you about his dreams from the night before and the plans for his day to come. It's fun to sit with him while he eats his breakfast and just listen.
My second favourite part is when I pick the boys up from daycare. Joshua is normally busy playing so I get Grayson first. No matter what Grayson is doing, he stops, yells "Mama" as loud as his little lungs let him and runs straight to me with the biggest smile and giggles, arms wide open for a big hug. In this moment in time, no matter how my day has been, everything melts away and all that I feel is the love that my son has for me and it makes me feel on top of the world.
These moments in time are what make life so special.

It's Been a Busy Summer
This summer seems like it has flown by so far. We have been having a blast!
Canada Day was spent with family complete with smores over a fire and fireworks. If Joshua is asked how he likes his marshmallow cooked, he replies "like a smore!"...there is no such thing as a plain marshmallow to him. If chocolate and graham crackers do not follow, it is not a marshmallow.
We took the boys camping with Chris' parents for 3 nights and they loved it. They had fun playing at the beach and going on bike rides. Joshua and I spent an entire hour and a half feeding chipmunks. He patiently waited a half hour for one chipmunk to show up who he named Bautista after his favourite ball player. The second chipmunk that came around was then named Get Up Ball. Needless to say, Joshua is a huge sports fan. While we were camping we visited a small zoo which was full of excitement. The boys loved getting to feed some of the animals.
We also spent some time with Chris' cousin while she was here visiting with her kids. The boys had so much to do and 2 friends (or as we call them cousins) to do it with. This is the weekend Joshua learned how to ride his bike without training wheels and Grayson learned how to ride a glider bike.
This summer has also been busy with Chris' softball. His team plays weekly and they have been in a few tournament. The boys and I enjoy going to the diamond to watch, where they practice their swing with their toy bats. Grayson also loves to stand behind the home plate and yell "Dada" as loud as he can...he gets so excited! Chris is pretty lucky to have his own personal cheerleaders!
