I Try Really Hard...

to be a FUN mom!!!

So often I feel inadequate and undeserving of this lil guy. There have been many times when I feel like I should have been playing with him instead of whatever I'm doing. Funny how in one short year, the devil can already make you have regrets.

But, there are days when I feel like I got it right. Yesterday was one of those days! We were wore out by the end of the day! :) It started with a visit from this little sweetness.

Ava goes to our church, and she and Jacob have always had a blast together. They are quite cute. I think for the most part, they had a good time!

If they didn't have fun playing together, they surely had fun dragging toys ALL over the house. Oh well, who cares. It's just a mess that can easily be cleaned up. They had fun, and it was worth it.

After Miss Ava left, we headed over to our wonderful neighbor's house. I don't know if I have ever mentioned how much I love the Bates family on here, but I truly do. I hope they can always be our neighbors. Not many people can say because of their husband working so much over, their sweet neighbor CUT THEIR GRASS for them!!!! They are truly amazing. And Jacob LOVES them.

They even let lil man swing with them. What's so sad is, we have a bucket swing that we haven't hung yet. After seeing the smile and laughter on his face, I came home and told Wayne we HAD to get ours up. He agreed. So, soon we will be seeing LOTS of this at our house.

About this time, it was getting late and we knew Dada would be home soon. So, we headed back two doors down. Believe me, this kid LOVES his Daddy. When he hears the key in the door at night, he goes NUTS! Of course, I had to snap a couple more before we went in...

Stay tuned....tomorrow we are getting our very first hair cut! Hopefully. Is it really that time already??? I can't believe it!
