Owen and Cade

I took these pictures at my brother and sister-in-law's new home over the weekend. The lighting was great, it was just too bad we couldn't get a better one of the boys together. And after Owen had taken so many pictures in his pajamas, he was not up for any more in an outfit. They still turned out pretty cute! Who would have thought the corner of a basement and Grammy Gaye's old desk chair would be such a good background. Thanks Uncle Matt and Aunt Jess for a great weekend and a great photography studio! Oh by the way, Owen is wearing Cade's hat in these pics. He really liked it!

Congrats Uncle John!

This past Saturday, Ryan's brother John graduated from Fontbonne University. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Special Education. We are so proud of him and so glad that we were able to share this special day with him! Congratulations on such a huge accomplishment John. You are going to make an excellent teacher! Love You!

So I wanted my picture taken with my baby boy on Mother's Day and the moment I thought about it, there was no one around to take it. After many many tries, this was the best I could come up with. Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's day!

Cade's new swing

With the weather being so nice, I wanted to find something outside for Cade to do. I finally decided a swing would be perfect. So his daddy and uncle John bought him one and put it up for him on mother's day. He seemed to really like it and fell asleep about 10 minutes into it.

Happy Mother's Day!

Mom,

Although we were unable to spend this day together, please know that I cherish every day that we do get to spend together. I am so grateful for all you have given me and most of all, what you have taught me. Because I am carrying those very lessons with me today as I attempt to be as great of a mom as you have been. I now know the love and admiration you have had for Matt and me all these years. Thanks for being everything a mom should be and more. You are my best friend and "I love you to the moon and back" :)

Happy Mother's Day!
