Love for Mom's!

Mother's day this year was a lil' different that we are use to...my mom was in Montana and was able to celebrate with Carly on her 1st Mother's Day and Phil's mom was at the beach! So.....we celebrated early with both our mom's. We are so blessed to have such wonderful, loving, caring, supportive, giving, kind mothers. We're so thankful to have them close by and see them as Mimi/Nana to our lil' boys! We love you both so very much! 

Just bare with me for a sappy/cheesy moment.....I've sat here for about 10 min trying to decide what to write about being a mom....those of you that are a mom know the depth of love that comes along with motherhood. You know the emotions that run high and the strength it takes physically, mentally and emotionally. I'm fortunate enough to have the support and encouragement from my mom, my mother in law, and so many other amazing mommy friends! Thank you for encouraging me along this incredible journey as a mom! Thank you Phil for working so hard for our family and for giving me the opportunity to stay home and raise these two precious boys of ours! Cooper and Carter you bring us more joy than you can ever imagine and I'm so happy He chose me to be your mom!

4 months for Carter

This sweet fella turned 4 months on May 10th! His lil personality is starting to shine! We've transitioned from 3 to 4 hr feedings during the day, he rolled over for the first time and is one happy lil' guy! Happy 4 months Carter bug! There's also a pict at the bottom of our lil' look alikes - we feel like you can definitely tell they're brothers!
