happy mothers day to my momma, your G. she gives me the example of the mom i try to be. i love her so much. she is the best momma. 

me and you. my best buddy. i love you so so much. always forever. 

we waited many years for you. i dreamed of being a mom for so, so long. you taught me so many things during the wait. and are teaching me things every day. you were worth the wait. 

you and your birthparents made me a mom. thank you God for that. thank you for your PERFECT plan that never fails. 

disney world mall.

we love our friday "mommy noah daddy dates" we asked you what you wanted to do. you squealed and said "DISNEY WORLD MALL" for the longest time, you thought this was disney world. my sweet boy. very soon. we will go there. i promise. 

we did the usual.. bring lots of quarters for all of the games, take a silly photo booth picture. you and daddy had a say in which one we picked.. you'll see later below. we got a pretzel, slurpee, played around at rainforest, and rode the teacup on the carousel. and this time, daddy surprised you with a huge lego set... you both were so happy!

a wonderful day with my favorites and my best. 

gran's park with gran.

you name every park you go to. this park is gran's park. today you picked flowers and met a few dogs. and picked some buttercups. and took a nature walk. and took a little break :) 

zoo fun!

we thought it was a good day to head up to the zoo! so did the rest of fort worth. it was packed! but we still had fun. well, up until daddy was carrying your stroller down the stairs and couldn't see and fell and twisted his ankle. bad. but he kept on walking for you. what a great daddy. he loves you so much. 

may the forth.

happy may the forth! we are star wars dorks and of course we celebrated. with donuts! of course ;) 

a burger and fry date.

i have got to document this. for the past say month, you have been LOVING burgers. oh how a silly burger can make mommy and daddy leap for joy. you don't eat the bun but man, you eat all the meat! such a BIG boy! when we asked you what you wanted for dinner, you screamed burger and fries! i thought it would be good to take you to five guys. you haven't been there before. i knew you would love shelling the peanuts and man, did you ever!!! note to self: always buy peanuts as they can be a good distraction when tempers arise. anyways, we ate outside and you ate every single bite! you danced to the classic rock music and was so happy. 

i love our family dates. they mean so much. 

book run and slurpees.

we headed up for our weekly library run :) i wore your macaroni necklace that i love. you picked up the awesome busy town book. momma got a new book for her. and you managed to sneak another baby einstein dvd in my book bag. you love it still because they remind you of mamaw and papaw. so sweet. 

pina colada is back!!! momma's favorite. you still always get coke with cherry on top. 

be strong and courageous.

the director always call on someone to say the prayer at the end of chapel and you raised your hand to say.... dear Jesus thank you for my friends and my teachers and help us to have a good day. amen. 

may you always be bold in God's love. 

be strong and courageous. do not be afraid do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. -Joshua 1:9
