I Am a Bad Blogger

Recently we have been doing a lot of playing, that is my excuse for not blogging......


Anyway, the Cardwell's have been having lots of fun. In the last couple of weeks we have been to Gattiland a couple of times and have logged many outside hours. It has been very hot so water play has been necessary. Millie is so wonderful and so active. And lately her imagination is ever present. I absolutely love that she is so comfotable pretending...... there is so much fun to have when your imagination works so well. Yesterday she was swinging and out of the blue she says, "Mom don't step on my magic beans", I said, "ok, but where are the beans" and she pointed to small little pieces of dirt.... haha. I love it! Then we are driving down the road and she says very loudly, "Mommy you just rannnd over a pinky dragon, oh man, and pinky is my favorwhit color ever". Bhahahaha!!!!! I apologized for running it over and I hope she forgave me. I am grateful everyday for the magic she brings. Life is so much more fun :)

100 Posts!

Well we've made it 100 posts. It is a milestone so I saved it for something special. I decided the reporting of my wonderful mother's day was special.

Sunday was my 3rd mother's day and it was wonderful. It was great because Millie somewhat understood the meaning of the holiday. She walked around all day telling me Happy Mother Valentine's Day. It was the sweetest phrase ever. Wayne also made it special by asking to be off from work for the day. When we all get to be together it is wonderful. I love both of them so much. We got up on Sunday got ready for church and did our routine photo shoot. We do the pictures by the front door for most all special occasion, so when we stand there Millie automatically smiles and starts posing. (When I was growing up the place at our house was the staircase). Then we went to a nice church service, my parents, inlaws, and my grandfather all came (we missed my brother and Magen, he had to work boo). When church was over I picked up Millie from the nursery, she greeted me with her special Happy Mother Valentine's Day! She made me a card with her handprints. It is beautiful. When we left church we had reservations at Mariah's for lunch. It was very good and Millie loved her grilled cheese and the air vent on the floor (she kept letting the air blow her shirt up). Presents were exchanged and I was spoiled by my wonderful husband as usual. He is too good to me. I appreciate that if I mention something one time he pays attention, even if I think he isn't. Later at home he asked me how I wanted to spend the rest of my mother's day. My answer, I want to clean out the pantry and clean off the staircase (two disaster areas). He was such a good sport, even though it took 3 hours! I am so happy with the results. All in all it was a wonderful day, filled with love.

See You at Post 101!
