I love you Ashlynn Olivia! 

You are so beautiful and watching you grow is such a gift. 

Mother's Day !

I had an absolutely beautiful Mother's Day and I hope that you all did as well !  

I woke up to this amazing painted flower pot that Ashlynn made me with Daddy's help. 

We went to Forest Park in St. Louis and had a picnic. It was so beautiful. 

After our lunch we went to a little lake/waterfall thing in the park. 

Ashlynn fell in love with these ducks. She even started saying "Duck" ! 

I was trying to get pictures of her but she just wanted to go play with the ducks :) 

I adore being a mommy. I love Ashlynn more than anything or anyone else on this earth and it has been such a gift to have her in this world with me each and every day. She is my little bug and I could not imagine the world without her. She makes me laugh and makes me cry. 
Being a mom has been amazing and it keeps getting better!

Hoo Are You ? #40

1. Are you a mom and if so how many kids do you have?

Yes I am a Mom. I have one beautiful, funny, strong -willed little girl who will be 18 months old on 5.7.11.

2. List 3 qualities that you love about your mom!

She is an amazing Nana. 

She has the patience of an angel with my little brother. 

She doesn't care how many times I call her to ask her about ingredients for her recipes while I'm standing in the middle of the grocery store with a list that I know is wrong. 

3. What is your favorite thing your mother cooks?

Her spaghetti sauce (which I'm actually making tomorrow and I had to call her while standing in the grocery store tonight about this recipe) and her marinated roast. 

4. What do you love about being a mom?

I love that no matter what Ashlynn loves to spend time with me more than anyone else in the world. The feeling is mutual. 

5. What are your plans for Mother's day?We are pretty sure we are going to the St. Louis Zoo. Other than that the details are up to the hubby.
