Trying to Live in the NOW

I am guilty of many things... but currently I am way guilty of wishing away the current and trying with all my might to make the future... the future with our Baby Girl in it... here now! I know I can't, but I have been really trying. So I am guilty of not being here in the now... missing moments with the boys and not sharing in how much I adore each of them.

Today I am making a promise to my blogger buddies (hold me accountable people!!) and to my boys:

Mommy promises to lighten up
To enjoy the noise and craziness of our life
To play more
To laugh more
To worry less
To be anxious less
To bring my mind back to here and now and less a half world away and in the future some time.

So here are some of the now.... more to come I promise! 

 Noah being his silly self...
 Noah and Nana playing (I said I would not put it on Facebook... )
 Noah and Mommy watching a 3D movie on date night with the boys
 Carter with his new Backpack from Auntie Krissyjo
 Jake getting his award at school... he his second award of the year for Academic Excellence
 Jake at his very first soccer practice... he was such a little stud!
 My men finding a treasure for their Geocaching adventures
 Me and my little Babe... We took this at his girlfriends pageant, which she won Miss Barstow
 Carter showing me how he can do "cool fingers"
 Man time in the back yard... I love spring!
Here is really the only place that Noah will eat when we are at Grandma and Grandpa's.... with his Grandpa

  2. What a good reminder. I'm guilty of wishing away the present and focusing too much on the future too.

  4. Thank you ladies! I talked to my sweet friend tonight who is on this crazy journey and we decided to "turn over a new leaf"! You are all going to have to hold me to this though... you know the crazies come back without me even knowing it sometimes.
