"Your Gonna Miss This"

When I look at these pictures and the moments we are sharing as a family and how fast time is flying... it just makes me think of a favorite song of mine and Andrews. "Your Gonna Miss This" by Trace Atkins. I try so hard to slow down and take things slow even in this fast paced world...I want to remember and cherish these times. I just wish I could make time slow down so I could hold them in my arms forever.



Sophia ... wow, my baby girl! Sophia has decided she likes to crawl up on things and stand up like she can fly! OMG! Today I was looking at her while I was sitting on the couch and she was standing up on her new chair. I was so scared imagining her falling on the ground and hurting herself. I said "NO SOPHIA GET DOWN"... then I tried to reason with her... "YOU ARE GONNA FALL DOWN AND GO BOOM AND HURT YOURSELF!" She just looked at me and smiled ... like this: It was then that I realized for the rest of my life I am going to have that scared feeling when I feel they are in harms way. Everytime they do something I am going to want to protect them and teach them the right way to do something so they don't get hurt... my fear is this... one day she is going to be a teenager looking back at me ... similar to the way she looks at me now when I tell her NO ... like haha yea right mom ... I don't care what you say ... This is Sophia after we had our talk...she just started to clap. Great! I then realized again, I am def in for it. lol.

Jeanies shower was so fun. She got a ton of stuff. Good food, Good friends, and Good times.
I was able to take Sophia so we turned it in to a Mommy/daughter day. It was fun and I must say it was super easy just having a singleton. Noah had Father/son day with his daddy. Who had it really easy being that Oma was there and helped out ALOT! haha. Andrew took Noah to Andrew Jrs ALLSTAR game.... It was really cute to see Sophia and Noah reunite after being a part all day. They were cracking up together and playing ... you could just tell they really missed each other. It felt so weird to not have my other half with me all day! Anyway, we all had a great day.

Andrew won his championship for ALLSTARS last night. He is super excited about Football now which starts next week:

Her eyes look so dark here but the current consensus is they are green. Not sure where she got green eyes... maybe Grandma Emma?????

Your Gonna Miss This - Trace Adkins

She was staring out the window

Of their SUV

Complaining, saying,I cant wait to turn 18

She said, "I'll make my own money"

And I'll make my own rules"

Mama put the car in park

Out there in front of the school

And she kissed her head

And said 'I was just like you"

You're going to miss this

You're going to want this back

You're going to wish these days

Hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're going to miss this

Before she knows it

She's a brand new bride

In her one bedroom apartment

And her daddy stops by

He tells her "It's a nice place"

She says "It'll do for now"

Starts talking about babies

And buying a house

Daddy shakes his head

And says "Baby just slow down"

Cause You're going to miss this

You're going to want this back

You're going to wish these days

Hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're going to miss this

Five years later

There's a plumber, Working on the water heater,

Dogs barking, phones ringing, One kids crying, one kids screaming

She keeps apologizing

He says "They don't bother me.

I've got two babies of my own.

One's 36, one's 23.

It's hard to believe..."

But You're going to miss this

You're going to want this back

You're going to wish these days

Hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times

So take a good look aroundYou may not know it now

But you're going to miss this

You're going to miss this

Yeah you're going to miss this
