mama's girl

my goal for tonight was to upload marin's five month photos from kahuku photography. i did it, and as i looked through them i decided that it was quite simply too much cuteness for one post. i am certain that had all of them been uploaded my computer would have grown wings and flown away, or maybe baby model scouts would have started calling me five million times a day, or or you might have died from the overload of cuteness. random thoughts, i know. is it obvious that i am in the euphoric stage of, "I have the cutest baby in the whole wide world, it should be illegal."

 

 no one, and i mean no one, could talk me down right now. i. want. to. eat. her.

 

since it is almost my birthday and almost mother's day, i decided to post a few picture of miss m and i.

 

 

i love her hair, her eyes, her cheeks and chin. okay, i love all of her. 

 

 i love my boys just as much. 

mother's day weekend

wes asked coen the following question and wrote the answers in my mothers day card. geese being a mama is the best thing ever. 

question: what is your favorite thing about mama? 

1. when she says nice words to me

2. snuggles

3. i like her to read cat in the hat 

4. kisses 

5. i like when she calls me pilot

coen made me this teapot in preschool on thursday and was SO proud and excited to give it to me. seeing his little face light up as he said, "happy mother's day!" made that monthly tuition 100% worth every penny. i am such a lucky mama. what i loved most about his picture was how well he wrote his own name! i was so shocked to see such a clean C-O-E-N. i asked him to write it for me later that day, and he did...5 times. so proud of him! 

we had a wonderful mother's day weekend that started off with an afternoon beach trip on saturday. we took a walk out on the lava rocks and saw the biggest sea turtle we have ever seen. he was a giant. 

on sunday morning i woke up to these two cooking a wonderful mother's day breakfast. mushroom and cheese frittata, and crepes with strawberries, whip cream, bananas and chocolate syrup. lucky mama! 

after breakfast we headed up to the volcano and took a hike at bird park. it was so beautiful. this forest really reminds me on the northwest. we ended our journey at a small garden cafe in volcano village. what a perfect day, (and i will say it again) what a lucky mama!

clean cut

today the handsome boys in my life got snazzy new haircuts. 

yes, i know...i am a lucky mama.
