Time...

Happy Monday! So we had our first experience with the dentist this morning. I was a tad bit nervous to go and wasn’t sure what to expect. My sweet boy exceeded my expectations! He did amazing…well almost. He didn’t really love when she cleaned his teeth and wasn’t super excited when the dentist used her little mirror to look in his mouth. But really, who is happy about that?! All in all, it was a really good visit. He has nice pearly whites and we’re doing all of the things we should be doing. We have our last set of molars to come in and then we’re home free with teething. YAYYYY!! That will be a glorious day for this momma!

Our weekend was absolutely wonderful! We celebrated my best friend’s birthday Friday night. I just LOVE spending time with her and her hubby. She is the sister I never had and any time I’m with her it’s just simply amazing. Love.her.to.pieces. Seriously.

My two sweet nieces were in town and Tanner got to spend all day Saturday with them. They only get to see each other once every few months so when they’re together, they take full advantage of their quality time. I love their itty bitty faces so darn much. It’s so hard having family that lives out of town, but it really makes the time you get to spend with them even more special.

Trevor, Tanner and I went to church yesterday. Since we’ve moved to a different town we’ve been visiting churches, well actually we have only visited one so far and love it. This Sunday’s sermon was about how to make change happen. Wow. That’s just what I needed to here. I had a few goals set for 2013 and I am more than determined to achieve every one of those goals now! Change can be a good thing...with the Lord on my side and with His direction, I'll be good to go.

I love pretty warm weather. Well I don’t love it in January because I want it to snow, but I did love it yesterday. Tanner had a blast playing outside and we had a nice lil walk around the subdivision and chatted with our sweet neighbors. Family time with my two boys warms my heart. It takes me back to my childhood when my mom and dad would play outside with me and my brother. I want Tanner to have all of those same memories and experiences with Trevor and I.

As I was getting my curly haired cutie ready for bed, putting on his lotion and pj’s I just stopped and realized…I’m a mom. I remember being little not so long ago. I’m a year away from turning 30 and gosh, all of these mixed emotions flooded through me for a brief second. It seems like just the other day my mom was taking me to have my Glamour Shots made. Or just the other day my dad was making me go outside to practice my jumps for cheerleading when I was in middle school. Or just the other day I was in high school being a wild and crazy teenager. Time flies, no joke. My life is just how I always pictured it to be like when I got “old” one day. Now I realize I’m not old at all…I just really don’t get which section I need to shop in when I go to Belks lol. Anywho. That second while getting him ready for bed made me realize how precious time really is. How every second I just want to love on my lil baby…once I blink he’ll be starting school. I want to embrace and cherish each moment I have with my family and baby boy.

And with that said, I tucked my sweet boy into bed, said his prayers and headed downstairs to enjoy the rest of my already perfect day. Nothing’s better than really buttery popcorn, peanut m&m’s and Parenthood on DVR. And now it’s back to Monday =)

Hope ya'll had a great weekend! Before we know it the weekend will be here again. So before it gets here, be sure to enjoy the time you have each second of every day with those that you love most. This momma's gotta go fix lunch. Until next time...
