Wow I can not believe how long it's been since I posted. Things have been pretty low key for us lately. (wow did I probably just open up a can of worms.) We have patiently waiting for some nice weather. One day we will have 70 degree weather and the next day it's in the high 40's low 50's. Typical Ohio weather. We were able however to get outside and play the other day at Grandpa's & Nana's house. The kids had so much fun with sidewalk chalk and the bubble machine. It was nice to have some sun on our faces :)

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter. Emily knew they Easter Bunny was coming so of course she got up when the sun came up. Brent and I were laying in bed and we could here in the living room "ooooooh, wow, the easter bunny came!" This was the first year she understood what the Easter Bunny was. After we found our Easter baskets and found all the eggs the Easter Bunny left I made a yummy breakfast. We met Brent's mom and dad for 11:45 mass at St. Peter & Paul's and it was really beauftiful. It really is such a pretty church. I love that Brent and I got married there and both of the kids were baptized there. After church we headed home and I took some pictures outside. We came in and the kids went down for a nice nap! It was a really nice low key Easter!

Can I Carry You?

I was reading my friend Katie's blog (http://thelittlegreenfamily.blogspot.com/) yesterday and ran across this poem. As I read it I seriously balled my eyes out! Thanks for sharing Katie :) So now I want to share it with you guys who read my blog...if that's anyone. After reading this it makes you not care about those days you want to pull all your hair out because they won't quit whinning. Or when you want to cry because you have to clean puke out of your car after a long drive. And those nights they just won't go to bed. It makes you want to hugg them a little longer and hold them a little tighter because they are not going to be this size forever and you will never get those moments back. You just have to enjoy them and cherish every single second and thank god everyday because he picked you to be their parents!

Can I Carry You ?

I guess that I can hold you
one more time before you grow.
And tell you that I love you
so that you will always know.
Please let me tie your shoe again.
One day you'll tie your own.
And when you think back to this time
I hope it's love I've shown.
Can I help you put your coat on?
Can I please cut up your meat?
Can I pull you in the wagon?
Can I pick you out a treat?
One day you might just care for me,
so let me care for you.
I want to be a part
of every little thing you do.
Tonight could I please wash your hair?
Can I put toys in the bath?
Can I help you count your small ten toes
before I teach you math?
Before you join a sports team
can I throw you one more ball?
And one more time can I stand near
to make sure you don't fall?
Please let me help you up the hill.
while you're still too small to climb.
And let me read you stories
while you're young and have the time.
I know the day will come
when you will do these things alone.
Will you recall the shoulder rides
and all the balls we've thrown?
I want you to grow stronger
than your Mom could ever be.
And when you find success
there will be no soul more proud than me.
So will you let me carry you?
One day you'll walk alone.
I cannot bear to miss one day
from now until you've grown.

Happy 2nd Birthday Mason

Today is Mason's 2nd birthday. I can not believe 2 years have gone by. Raising a little boy is so much fun. He is so sweet but such a bruiser! He loves to throw and kick the ball and race his cars on the kitchen floor. He wants anything and everything that his big sister has and he follows her everywhere. He thinks his Daddy is hilarious and loves to play video games with him. He loves his mommy more then anything. He has to be every where I am and always wants me to hold him so I can hug and kiss him. He loves to eat and watch Max & Ruby or the Wiggles. He is such a neat little boy. I was in labor with him for 39 long hours, but he was well worth the wait! I am honored that God picked me to be his Mommy. I could not imagine life out my little bug. I love you Mason and I am so happy I am your Mommy!



Enjoy the video posted below...I do one every year on their birthday :)

Mason's 2nd Birthday

We are still here....incase you were wondering

WOW I have not blogged in over a month! It's not that I haven't had anything to say, we have just been so busy. I started school the 1st week of January. In case you didn't know I am going to nursing school. I love it. It is so interesting and there is something new everyday. I am taking, fundamentals of nursing, nutrition, math, medical terminology, science 1, skills lab and I have clinicals in the hospitals on Mondays. It is A LOT! Of course my favorite part is clinicals. I am on a med-surg floor. It so neat meeting new people and being able to take care of them. The only down side is that I miss Emily & Mason like crazy. I feel like I never see them. So when I do I try and make the most of it. One thing I miss the most is taking and picking Emily up from school. Just seeing her little face when they open the door at the end of the day is priceless. She get's so excited that you came back to get her. The thing I miss with Mason is going to get him out of his crib in the morning. He is so happy in the mornings. He always has the biggest grin when you open the door and he sees you. Brent has been wonderful. He has really had to step up with kids and he is doing a wonderful job. I think it's good he is spending so much more time with the kids. I really miss him to. He has a lot of awesome things going on right now and I am so proud of him. I will post more about that when I can.
I can't believe we will be celebrating Mason's 2nd birthday in 2 weeks. The time really does go by way to fast. He still isn't talking so we took him last week to be evaluated. They don't think he has autism or anything like that they simply think he is speech delayed. They also want us to see an ENT to have his ears & throat looked at. They have a wonderful program where they actually come to your house and do the therapy sessions. I think he will be even happier once he can comminicate with us and express himself.

Emily is growing everyday. She has something new and funny to tell us everyday. She is hilarious and just the sweetest thing in the entire world! Her new thing is she wants to play Candyland or Shoots & Ladders ALL the time. So how she always wins too.

So that is what has been going on. I am really going to try and make more of an effort to try and blog but sometimes I would rather love on one of my kids or play a game of candyland.

Christmas (Finally) Part 1

I am really slacking with my post. After Christmas I started nursing school and haven't really had time to update. So I will probably post a few post to let everyone know what has been going on with the Adams family!

Christmas was amazing. The kids had the best time. Emily was just head over heels this year! She thouht Santa was the coolest person ever! She talked about him non stop. She really got the concept of who Santa was. She also told all about Christmas being Jesus's birthday. She learned a lot good stuff at pre-school!
Here she is at a birthday party where there was a special guest :) All of the kids were so surprised. Also there is a picture of her and her best friend Jake. His parents and Brent and I are really good friends. Emily and Jake have been buddies since Emie was 3 months old and Jake was 8 months old. They are in the same pre-school class too. The Ziegler,s also have a little boy named Joey and he and Mason are 1 1/2 months apart. They have a very sweet 5 year old named Elizabeth too. We love the Ziegler family!
