this time...

2 years ago...
I was getting in bed, with the feeling that it would be the night.
We had black bean soup, fruit salad and cookies for dinner
Grayson, Vance, Gavin and I played Life on the dining room table
Dad was working late {2am late}
I tucked all the kids in bed
went downstairs to close up
sat down and prayed
came upstairs and told Grayson that I would probably have the baby that night
then i feel asleep
i woke up having strong contraction and knew it was time
i called my mom
got ready
waited for Paul
and then went off to the hospital
not knowing if we were having another boy or a girl
the excitement, the joy, the memories
2 years ago my life changed
Ozzie Nolan was born
It is one of the best days of my life
I am so in love with My Ozzie... I can not believe he is going to be 2 tomorrow.
blink, blink and we're here!
time slow down, you're going way to fast...
i was not ready for this milestone to pass even though i knew it wouldn't last
I hope i've cherished every moment and remember all the smiles

I LOVE you little Z!!!!!

  9. Happy Birthday Ozzie!!

    I only just started reading your blog about the time the twins were born (just before? after? it all runs together when you play catch up) and I even *I* can't believe he's turning 2! I can't imagine how you feel.

  10. Aww! I love this! My 'lil Noah benjamin will be two in 6 days. It's mind blowing how fast it goes! This is SUCH a fun stage. :) My husband laughs at me because I tend to say that at every satge our boys go through. Well - except 3. I have struggled a bit with that middle child hitting a VERY stubborn streak at 3. :)

    Happy birthday to your littlest man! Birthdays are bittersweet for the mamas, aren't they? Blessing to you today too.

  13. Your lucky, you still have the twins. My little 2 year old is it. So I'm always wishing for one more rocking him to sleep. I love it when he is sleeping in my arms all snuggled up and comfy. I know it won't last forever.

    So with all of that said, HAPPY BIRTHDAY OZZIE!!

  14. Oh how fast they grow up. I know the feeling of time passing too fast. My Phabian will be 4 in March and my baby MJ will be 3 in April. I have a hard time saying that much less thinking about it. I hope lil Ozzie has a great birthday!

  17. Awwe, I can totally relate to the blink , blink. I had a realization that before I know it my boys will be married and move away with their wives and I will no longer be the #1 lady in their lives! Im a little ahead of myself - yes. But the thought still devastated me. So yes. Time please slow down!

    Happy birthday Ozzie :)

  29. Happy Birthday to your sweetie!
    I love the pic of Ozzie and Ava on Shelly's site. So cute!

    If time decides to slow down could you send him my way so I can put in my request also?? I'd love to throw some snow your way. We've got many inches covering us up and more on the way today. Brrr. It's cold here though. I'd take the snow but not this below zero stuff. Yuck!

    Hope you enjoy your blessed day!!

  30. I feel the same way with each birthday of the kids. I just can't get over how time flies by and then other times seems to go so slowly. Enjoy those babies because one day they will be turning two as well...shudder!
