Basketball

So, I've always enjoyed sporting events.  Being at the game is exhilirating and I love it.  Recently, Jared and I started really following basketball.  Go Magic!  He's always been a fan, but we haven't had cable our married life until recently.  Games are rarely broadcast on antennae TV, so we just weren't keeping up with it.  I must say it is one of our new things to do together.  I even find myself googling players, stats, and schedules when I have free time.  It kind of cracks me up, but I think it's a good thing.  With three boys, I am bound to become one of those moms shuttling kids to sport's practices, shouting out grass stains on uniforms, and baking cookies for fundraisers.  I look forward to that, but will NOT rush it.  Ethan tells me all the time that he is growing up and will be big like his daddy one day.  I tell him that's right, but not to do it too fast.

Anniversary and Mother's Day

So, I have now been blessed with celebrating four Mother's Days. They have all been wonderful. Crazy that I have three children now, which I still can't seem to wrap my head around that. Jared is so good to me. Man, I love that guy. We celebrated our 6 year wedding annivversary on 4/30 with a movie (The King's Speech PG-13 version) and dinner at Bosphorous (Turkish cuisine). Both were fan-tabulous! We need to go on more dats. The hardest part about having three children is how much I miss my husband. Our "we" time is seriously depleted these days.

Mother's Day, Jared got me some gifts, including a new, beautiful perfume called Light Blue by Dolce and Gabanna. I feel fancy and pretty when I wear it. I also received America's Test Kitchen HEalhty Family Cookbook. Very excited about finding healthier alternatives for our family in the kitchen. So far, the yogurt parfait, smoothies, and better for you banana bread are awesome. The boys also made me an awesome card, comlete with handprints and a picture drawn by my budding artist, Ethan. I cry every time I look at it. These boys are so good to me and I am so happy to be their mom. My goal for the next few decades is to avoid screwing them up.

In addition to being celebrated on Mother's Day, I thought about all the women in my life that are such wonderful examples to me. There are so many things I've learned from the amazing women in my life. Thank you to those women, you know who you are.
