The reason I was put on this earth, was to be a mother. I now know this after having our first amazing child!

ND wedding

Last weekend I went home for my cousin Jayden's wedding.  I L.O.V.E. nd wedddings...guaranteed a good time!
We started out the long weekend with a trip to Bismarck to the waterslides. 

Caden didn't have a good start to the day...his nap was cut short, he didn't eat lunch and then I failed in the mama of the day award and got sunscreen in his eye.  SO the first half of the day he spent on my lap with a towel over his head.  

He eventually snapped out of it and had a good time! 



My date for the wedding...wasn't he handsome??!! 


One of my best friends from H.S. and college was also at the wedding.  It was so great to see her and her family..we hadn't seen each other in 2 years!!  How time flies!

Caden's 2nd Birthday Party!

I can't believe that 2 years ago on this day I was forever changed.  I met my son and it was instant love and I knew that no matter what I would always be a mommy and I felt SO blessed.  Thank you Caden for coming into our lives and being the best gift we have ever received!
