I am a mom

Here are pictures from Mother's Day

These boys can be a pain in my rear, but they are just so darn cute!

For Mother's Day I told Jon I just wanted him to take me to dinner and a movie.  So we went to Mimi's Cafe and then we saw Date Night.  I really did not want to see that movie but I have to say it was the funniest movie I have seen in a long time.  I laughed out loud so many times.  I highly recommend it!

Jon took the kids to pick out presents for me and when Jon put Grady in the cart Jon asked him what he wanted to get me and with no hesitation he said "a toothbrush"!  So Sunday morning he proudly brought me my toothbrush and put it in the drawer in the bathroom (he is a little OCD! things have to be in their place)  Hudson picked out a very cute picture of a

gerber daisy, which are my favorite flower.

I had a great weekend with all my favorite boys!

Don't you just love it when your IPOD knows you?

I have those days when I decide to put it on shuffle (I love the not knowing what's coming next factor) and it keeps cranking out all the songs that you were in the mood for.

Today I am feeling a little solomn and down (a product of being a woman, but that's another discussion!)and my IPOD knows just the right songs to pick.

How does it do that?

I have to say it is a GREAT invention.  I used to buy CD's for 1 song and now I don't have to waste money on the rest of a CD!

Do you remember the days when you waited all day for a song to be played on the radio so you could record it?  You know what happened don't you? The DJ's Always talked over the beginning and your recording was no good. (Dang you Madonna's Like a Prayer)

So thank you Mr. IPOD man for making my life a little easier.

The babies are here!

Good Friday

Living he loved me.

Dying he saved me.

Buried he carried my sins far away.

Rising he justified freely forever.

One day he's coming

Oh Glorious Day, Oh Glorious Day

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished."  With that he bowed he head and gave up his spirit.

This that and the other

A friend of mine at work, Judy, introduced me to this amazing magazine.  It is called Life Beautiful and it is filled with gorgeous pictures, Inspirational articles, Recipes & Crafts.  I recommend it to anyone.

The other day I found myslef without paper towels or napkins and it was a horrible thing! I found out how much I really use those things.  I know I could use a dish rag or sponge but I feel like all those do is spread germs around (Chylie, I know you are going to be mad because you are a "green" girl). My name is Meagan and I am addicted to paper towels, napkins & wipes of any type.

I don't know if any of you have been able to watch the new show Parenthood.  It is now 5 episodes in and it is such a good show.  It has such heart and definitely has everything regarding parenthood. There has not been an episode where I have not cried.  It is funny, sad, drama & REAL!  If you have not seen it I challenge you to watch an episode, it is on Thursday nights on NBC.

Well those are my randoms for the day! 

New Ink!

Jon & I got new tattoos!  Once you have one you just can't stop.

This one is mine which is next to my "friend" tattoo that both Kaysee & I have.

And here is Jon's

Grady Rides

Grady finally got to ride his new bike that he got for Christmas.

What a cool little kid

Such a cutie

Shindig

We had a shindig at our house last Friday and lots of people came! My friend Kaysee was in town from Texas so I figured it was time to have some fun!

We had lots of friends, family & food.  Thank you so much to everyone who came.  These pictures are from my moms camera so I did not get pictures of everyone who was there.  Thank you Mom & Dad, Stacey & Justin, Jess & Christa & Mike & Anita for makinig it a great shindig along with the peeps in the picures.

This is Skeeter!

Meet Skeeter! The new member of our family!

Somehow Jon talked me in to getting another dog.  I'm not really sure what exactly happened but I remember a lot of yelling and a promise to always do the dishes.

And this is how Baxter feels about it!

Great Perspective

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked...
"Oh yeah, " said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen
If we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about
What we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have , especially your family and friends!
