let's play freeze tag

I can't believe time has gone so quickly. It seems not so long ago that my little babe was this tiny.

5 lbs of nothingness.

Preemie outfits too big.

I want to always look at Kambrie with this gaze, overwhelming with love, so happy that she's in my life.

Kambrie has been so dang cute lately. She's turned into such a cuddle bug and we love it so much!!

I wish life could be like freeze tag. We could freeze the moments we wanted for awhile...and when we were ready to "play again" or resume life, we could unfreeze time.

I love that she still hasn't grown in her front tooth.

I love how she pretends to read and speaks her own funny little language.

I love how she plays with her brother, and would always be so anxious to give him a hug and kiss when he walked in the door from school.

I love how she drags her blanket around with her everywhere.

I love that she said MOM for her first word!

I love that she says ball, mom, dad, Tanner, thank you, please, cheese, hi, more...all with her own inflections and sounds. So so so cute.

I love that she's so special. I love that she's my daughter!!

And this little boy who has my heart completely just makes me melt every day. He can certainly be ornery and uber hyper, but he has such a tender heart. He is so sweet and loving, I'm so proud of him.

I can't believe he's almost 7.

As I tucked him into bed tonight, he asked me to lay down and snuggle with him for a minute. I was about to say no and then paused and thought I want to cherish these moments forever...so I cuddled up next to him and rubbed his face while he talked my ear off. He's just so precious. I know he won't want mommy to cuddle with him forever, so I'll take it while I can get it.

(another thing about Tanner, today he said he wants to work on a cruise ship when he grows up, be on TV and be a pirate like captain Jack, and on his days off drive a limo. Then he asked what color of limo he should get...blue, or pink? I encouraged him not to go the pink route!! lol)

Being a mom can feel like the hardest thing on the planet some days. Other days it brings the greatest joy and happiness one ever thought imaginable.

TANNER and KAMBRIE, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

I'm so lucky and thankful I get to be your mother.
