"I love you, Momma"


Recently Emma, our sweet, sensitive, (usually) soft spoken 3 year old has been on this ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL "I love you, Momma" kick. It is just the sweetest thing EVER. Several times throughout the day she will drop everything only to tell me she loves me most.
IT.MELTS.MY.HEART.
(and brightens my day)
This afternoon Jason suggested I plan a girls night with some of my friends. But instead I decided to take my sweet girl on a date!!!! With all of the craziness in our life I want to make sure she doesn't acquire "middle child syndrome." Colin often gets to spend 1 on 1 time with Jason and Olivia is pretty much attached to my hip. Most of the time Emma is just along for the ride. So 1 on 1 time with her is EXTRA special. We kicked off our date with a mani/pedi!!! As we sat in our chairs soaking our toes we talked about all of the most important topics of the world. Tangled, princess',butterflies and dance class. And every couple of minutes I was cut off with an "I love you, Momma."
After our mani/pedi we headed over to Sweet Factory and her eyes lit up like a Christmas Tree. She picked out 3 candies (b/c she is 3 years old ;) and as we were checking out I got an "I love you, Momma." From there we went to Sisley for dinner. We chit chatted andslurped spaghetti and every couple of sentences I was reminded with an "I love you, Momma."
I seriously heard it 1000x tonight and it was just as special the 1000th time as it was the 1st time. She is such a treasure to our family and brings us SO much joy!!!!
I LOVE YOU my Sweet Emma Roo!!!!

Today my friend Amanda posted this verse on FB!!! I often find myself "wanting" or even worse "needing" THINGS instead of focusing on the bigger picture. It was a much needed reminder!!!

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in Him. For everything in the world-the cravings of sinful man, the lust of eyes and the boasting of what he has and does-comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever~1 John 2:15-17

With swim suit season quickly approaching I thought Id post a few pictures of what's hot this season!!! Now for me personally, I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as "HOT" on this body. So I am featuring cute little bathing suit babes who can ALWAYS pull it off :)
Ok... so O got off to a bad start!!! "Mom... why do you have to torture me with this crazy hat???" I'm sorry!!! But the swim cap is to.die.for.
