Living the AmErican Dream

I have recently become a full-time stay at home mommy. Austin thought it was important for me to spend time with Shark and politely asked me to quit my job. Who can argue with that? He's taking on a lot of responsibility trying to finish his last semester of school and support the three of us by himself. He is my hero. I will most definitely miss my job and the fantastic friends I made working there, but I am so grateful I can spend my days loving on my baby boy. I'll always have a special place in my heart for Utah Surgical Arts and all the lovely ladies still pressing forward. Keep up the hard work.

In the mean time I will fill my days with...

hugs and kisses

naps and smiles

and LOTS of time in the pool. We love the sun <3

Picture day!

We are beginning a family tradition of taking family pictures every Mothers Day as my gift. Here is our first annual Mothers Day Photoshoot. 

I love this picture. These boys have so much fun together.

Austin really doesn't like it when we kiss on the lips, so here's to you, babe!

Wow, is it hot in here? Or is it just me? Look at that stud.

Mothers Day 2012

My first official Mothers Day. It rocked. We got family pictures taken for my present and I am pretty sure I love them. I've only seen a couple but they made me super happy. I would show you but I don't have them yet, so that will have to wait. I think we will make it a Mothers Day tradition to get our family pictures done. It was a great gift that I am pretty sure I will love every single year. Austin didn't make me breakfast which apparently a lot of moms get, but he did offer to mix me up a protein shake. He's a good egg. He did buy me an ice cream cake from Cold Stone, however, which was waaaayyy better than breakfast. And yesterday he gave me a massage and he has let me be the queen for a few days now.

Austin's family came to town to visit and we have had a great time so far. We had a big get together at our Grandma LeBaron's house today and ate a MILLION different kinds of meat. I guess nobody could decided between brisket, ham, chicken, or sausage. It was all super good and we had MORE ice cream cake to follow.

Here are pictures of our beautiful, sunny Mothers Day


This is what I woke up to after my boy slept for 11 hours. That was his Mothers Day gift to me. What a good boy! He is such a crazy sleeper. For instance, how did he get out of his pants?

His favorite food used to be his fingers, until he found these little sausages. 

Irelynd, Zach, Grammy, Oliver, Savannah, and my one and only, Austin.

My husband is so handsome. 

 This gorgeous girl is our cousin, Irelynd. She has the most brilliant blue eyes.

Grammy was helping Shark climb a tree. 

Cutest little monster twins I know--Keaton and Waverly

This is our cousin Brighton, he got a new awesome mountain bike that is way faster than his old one. 

Another cousin, Megan, and brother Zach.

Oliver and his Papa.

Lynn and Grandma probably talking Scott's ear off.

He is such a champ when it comes to eating. All he needs is a comfy place to kick back.

Kisses from Grandma LeBaron. We love her tons!

Happy Mothers Day to all of you mamas. I'm glad I have so many awesome women to emulate. There is no reason for me to fail as a mother with such great examples to follow. Especially my own mother, I love her dearly.
