i can't believe that march is already half way over! seriously where did it go?
life just kind of moves on, ya know? we make the world go round, doing our normal routine.
we finished up brody's 'sporty for shorties' class and his 'tiny tumblers' gymnastics class. yup you read that right. for the past 9 weeks, on thursdays we had the sporties and on fridays we had gymnastics and it was so much fun! brody LOVED both this classes and had the best time!
sporties really was a blast. brody learned, hockey, soccer, golf, track, basketball, football. tyson was able to come a few times too, which was even double the fun. these are pictures from last week from our last classes. brody LOVES basketball.
brody's gymnastics class was awesome! for me the best part was always at the beginning of the class was when all the kids got a carpet square to sit on and then we'd help them stretch, it was so cute! it was always hard to get a picture of brody durning gymnastics, because he was ALWAYS running or jumping. but this picture on the balance beam is great.
the weather in march definitely has it's ups and downs here in ohio. we've been teased with a day of 60 degree and the next 4 inches of snow. ugh! wind, rain and flooding. but when it has been sunny, we've taken full advantage. good news!! - there are signs of spring and that makes me giddy!!!!
when it's been sunny outside but still chilly, i always put brody's bear suit on, because it keeps him toasty. plus, he likes it!

making brody a 'B' pancake
one day were were waiting for tyson to get out of class, and outside of the building tyson has class in, there are these chalk board walls that you can draw all over. they are really cool. brody just happened to find a piece of chalk so he decided to leave his mark of art!

my little love.
in other news...brody and i go and see tyson on campus often. we go walk around target and go to the science muesum. we have play dates with friends. we play with the train set at barnes and noble and we always go to lunch with tyson on mwf's. we read books and play with balls and cars. brody brushes his teeth 10 times a day. we work on not having meltdowns- thanks goodness they are far and few between, we pretend we are climbing mt. everest (the stairs). brody and tyson have man-dates weekly. brody goes swimming with tyson while i run. we sing songs like 'sleepy bunny' 200 times a day. we all ride the elevator up and down at the gym. we color. we make smoothies and cuddle. teaching brody not to scream. we go to the grocrey store so brody can ride in the shopping cart that looks like a car. brody rides on my back and i crawl around the family room. tyson takes brody to the park to shoot hoops and i make dinner. we watch thomas the train. life is so FUN and GOOD.
one things for sure, i know that i'm doing exactly what i'm supposed to be doing. i was born to be a mother. i was born to take care of a family. that's my purpose on this earth, i truly believe. yes there are other things that i'm good at and love doing, and i'll never give those up. but i'm happy to embrace being a mother and helping the world to go round, one poopy diaper/kiss/meltdown/laugh/hug at a time. i am happy and content.

Love, love, love your thoughts Jen! And I agree 100%! You rock as a mom, and you teach me to have so much crazy fun while playing with my kiddos too. And it's so good to write these thoughts down, so that on the hard days you can go back and remind yourself that we do embrace being a mom - the good and the bad the goes along with it. Thanks!!
