Gotta Love May!

Ahhhhhhh! The signs of Spring! We went to hitch our 5th wheel up to go out for the weekend and what did we find??? A hummingbird had made a nest in our hitch!!! We had to move it, so Brent put it in a bush right next to where the trailer was. Hoping the mother finds it!!! It is amazing though. The little eggs are the size of a jelly-belly. Way cool! A time of birth & new beginnings....especially at our house!!!

Spring is the time we celebrate a lot of birthdays at our house and in our family. April brings ReyAn's on the 5th, Jennie's the 7th and mine on the 12th (busy week). Then we start May off the same way!

My boys! All of them!! May 4th. Happy Birthday, Cameron. You made me what I am, a Mom. You helped teach me so many things. When you came into my life, I had no idea how much I could love such a little person and how much he would impact my life. You are my Sunshine. You always were, you always will be. You are my thinker....my worrier. We have gone through so much together. I have watched you grow into an amazing man, husband and father. No greater reward for a Mom. But, you have helped me grow so much as well. The oldest child is not a position to compete for. It's a tough one. I know that better than anyone. You are the "test" child and sometimes it really sucks!! But, you also get through everything first and sometimes that isn't so bad. (lol) I'll love you forever.

May 8th. Happy Birthday to my #1 guy, my husband Brent. He is the love of my life and my best friend. He knows my heart, my soul, my insecurities, my shortcomings. AND loves me anyway!!!! Thank you for seeing something in me back then that I didn't see in myself and allowing me to evolve into the person that I am. It hasn't always been easy. You are my strength, my shoulder, my peace and definitely the better half. I love you.....truely :)

May 11th. Happy Birthday, Jake. My baby. Sorry, but you always will be. You were born a teddy bear with the biggest smile in the world. You have been the glue that held me together so many times with that smile and those eyes! You are the peacemaker in our family. Always wanting our family to be together. Needing to know where everyone was. You are a great end to our little family chain. Even though you are a grown man, you will always be my Baby. That song will always mean so much to me. Thank you for being my Bear. I'll love you forever.

I have been SO fortunate in my life. My family is the greatest blessing and we have been through so much together. We are stronger for it. Each other's true friends. Happy Birthday to the greatest men I will ever know.

Then comes the next generation.....May 17th! Happy Birthday to my buddy, Jackson. Happy #5!!! What a big boy you have become and I love you so much. You are so smart and what an imagination! I am amazed at the things that you know. You are such a great big brother!! Papa and I are so proud of you and so happy to be able to share your life and watch you grow. We'll love you forever.
