I always wanted a big family.
I remember bargaining to play "Cowboys" or "Power Rangers" with my little brother as long as he would play a game of "Dicky & Gina" (aka h o u s e with the roles of my great aunt/uncle's large family with four boys) when I was little. They amazed me. I loved how entertaining it always was at their house. It seemed to be the hub of all things fun + exciting. So much laughter. All the crazy stunts + games that always seemed to be going on. As I got older, I remember thinking at some point- I think I would like to have all boys, too. These days, I am mama (as you very well know if you read here) to my own two little boys.

Life has a funny way of making a full circle sometimes:)
I have waited WAY to long to share an update on their sweet little milestones.
But today, it's going down!
I am going to share my two little boys are like these days.

A snapshot of them in time. In May of 2017...
The days are so long sometimes + it's easy to get frustrated sometimes when Conley planks stiff as a board refusing to get in his carseat while Cam says I'm "the meanest mommy in the world" for making him take a nap or taking away the iPad when his time is up. But I repeat over + over, the days are long, but the years are short.
I swear I never want them to end no matter how long the days seem sometimes.

BUT.
I know they will.
SO. Here's to making the best of even the hardest/most challenging moments of motherhood + cherishing those sweet days of childhood.

Notorious speech: A l w a y s saying sorry, asks "is that a nice word to say mom?"

Notorious speech: No is his favorite word. (He loves the Justin Bieber song "don't ya give up NO NO NO (b/c it says...you guessed it. NO). Everything is called a "Boat" (especially if it is water), he SCREAMS "BITE BIIIIITTTTTE" irrationally at the sight of food <<AND BALL>>, "Maaaa-ma" is always on the tip of his tongue, trash.

You guys, t h e s e, each day I have blogged about since I began this blog...
these are the days "they" speak of.
Those sweet little moments I will always say "remember when," or "that one time we..."
It's such a bittersweet experience, as with each new age comes a whole different kind of excitement + fun. I'm just enjoying the ride.
It's a love no one will ever be able to write down or understand or get over.
And I believe God made it to be that way<3
I love you my sweet, darling boys. Even if butt is your favorite word.
Happy "Star Wars Day!"
