Do they really know?

Recently I read a blog of a family who unexpectedly lost their mother. She was the blogger in the family and in past posts she had done a post about one of her son's birthdays and what she loved about him. What a treasure that is now.
Even though I plan on being around for a while. I realized that I need to be better about letting my family know how much I love them. I need to tell them those things that I admire about them and the talents and strengths they possess. I am hoping that I can renew my blogging efforts and be able to have some of my thought's and feelings put into words.

Today I will start with my little Bossman. :)
I don't know if it's because he is my last baby - but I love just watching him. He is SUCH a busy and curious little boy! I can just see those gears turning in his head from the minute he wakes up.

He has these cute eyebrows that are so expressive - and GOOD GRIEF - if you have ever seen his lashes?!
Even though he is only 14 months - he already has a sense of humor and likes to tease. He does it with a toothy smile.
I also watch him observe his older siblings (usually when they are throwing fits) and you can tell he is documenting and storing that behavior for later. He is such a smart little guy.

Even though I am old and desperately need my beauty sleep - I have never minded getting up with my baby at night. I truly treasure those moments when I just get to hold and cuddle him. Usually during the day he is much too busy to let mom love on him too much.

Speaking of loving on him..... his CHEEKS!! They are so smooshy and kissable! What makes him even more kissable is how ticklish he is! He has this cute little giggle. When you snuggle under his chin or pinch his little fat rolls his giggles are too contagious.

He also LOVES music and dancing. Every morning while he eats breakfast - he wants the ipod on so he can eat and groove. I have tried to get this on video - but as soon as he knows what I am doing he just stares. :) One day I will prove it. ;)

Boss also likes to be a shadow. As soon as dad gets home he becomes Ryan's puppy dog. :) Especially if Ryan is working on a project outside. (See picture)

He brings such a joyful spirit to our house. I am so grateful that I get to be his momma.

Yep - I am certifiable :)

Most of you reading this post are already completely aware that I am pretty much insane. This insanity is caused by many different factors - but I think the main factor is... (you think I am going to say my kids don't you?) me. I have some filter issues going on in my head. The filter that says "no - you have enough on your plate - lets set this idea aside for another time. Instead - I jump up and say "oooh! fun! ok!!"

So here is my latest project - which I am actually really excited about!
I am now a "Fashion Consultant" for Vault Denim! The short explanation is - a designer jean party!
Granted I am still working on my baby weight (registered for a half marathon on May 7th to get that process jump started.) but my filter failed me once a again and I said "ooooh! fun!! ok!!"

If you live close by I would love for you to stop by and try on a pair. Or I would love even more if you want to have a jean party! These jeans are 100% authentic. Brands you would find in Buckle or Nordstroms and they cost a lot less.

My party is Wednesday April 6th - come anytime between 1pm and 7pm. Feel free to bring your kids - mine will be here too!
Everything is cash (check, charge) and carry - you get to wear your jeans home! Sizes 0- 16. Even if you don't buy - I would love to see you! (Plus I will be cleaning my house for this event - and we don't want all that effort to go to waste!)

This company is less than a year old and doesn't even have reps in every state yet. So if you are looking for a way to earn some extra cash - let me know. I honestly have yet to see how this will work into my daily life - but I do know that I am excited about it. So here I go! Wish me luck!!!
p.s. Don't worry - Uppercase is in the blood now - NOT giving up on that! :)
