Aubryn is 3 months old now! She's starting to get into a routine all on her own. She has a short nap in the morning! Sleeps for several hours around lunchtime, and then has a couple more little naps before bedtime. She gets fussy if we're not in bed by around 9 too. She slept all night again the other night (from 10:30-6:30!). She's so smiley, especially in the mornings, and she loves to "talk". Even though I know she's not, it seriously sounds like she's saying real words sometimes! One of her coos sounds just like "hiiii." :) Western and I are done with school for the summer! I ended the semester with one A and one B, and I'm happy with that. Both classes had labs, which means double the work, and it was hard to find the time toward the end of my pregnancy and shortly after having Aubryn. Yesterday was Westen's last day! I can't believe he'll be going into first grade! We are contemplating a move to Eric's hometown again. It all came about because I'm not sure (actually, I'm pretty certain we wont be able to) if we could afford Westen going to private school again next year. My mom mentioned a house that just came on the market, so we've looked at it a couple times. Westen says he doesn't mind switching schools, but there are definite disadvantages to this house/location (also tons of advantages too). We'll keep talking and praying about it. I never know what the right thing to do is! Aeson's been his usual self! He set off the hold up alarm at Eric's work this week, so two cops ended up showing up! He also used an ice cream sandwich to draw on his bedroom walls. Oh, and squirted makeup all over my grandma's floor and comforter! It's not that he's trying to be bad.. His mind just moves a million miles a minute and he's so curios about everything!

Mother's Day 2012
I had a wonderful Mother's Day this year! I think it was my favorite so far!
We all slept in, after celebrating Eric's 30th birthday the night before. I woke up to Eric making all of us breakfast! After eating and spending a lazy morning inside, we went to lunch with Eric's parents and his brother's family. It was a good time, and we got his mom a couple of gifts, in hopes of showing how VERY much we appreciate her. After lunch, we got movies and I even got a little nap! Eric's always very helpful with the kids, but he was even more so. We all went out to play after that, and it was a wonderful day to just sit outside. I LOVE our backyard, now that we got our landscaping done! My sister and her family came over for dinner (leftovers from the night before) & our mom stopped by briefly. We headed to Grandma's after that to spend some time with her, and then came home and went on a nice walk. The boys were tired once we got home, so they headed to bed, while we got things ready for Monday & then ended the night watching New Year's Eve together.
It really was a great day! I was glad to see everyone we got to see & even more glad that I got to spend the whole day with my family! Mothers definitely do a lot, and we definitely have a lot of things to be thankful to them for.. but I'm thankful for my kids, every single day. They made me a mom and have made me the person I am today. I'm thankful for THEM! (And my helpful and thoughtful husband.. I couldn't be half the mom I am if it weren't for him)
