Hubby asked Logan what he wanted to say in my card and this is what he said. Lucas chimed in, so hubby included that, too!!
Logan:
I love you very much and want to give you a super duper squeezy hug. My heart loves Momma!
I love you too, Momma. I love you too, Momma. I love you too Momma....
This was originally posted last year (2007). I thought I'd just bump it for this year. I did add in new pictures of the boys at the end...
Here are the two moments in my life where the two little one's who call me Momma entered the world!!
This was taken the day before Logan was born...I went into labor late that night.
Shortly after he was born....
One week before Lucas was born (I was scheduled to be induced, but went into labor on my own the night before!!)...
Shortly after he was born....
This week Themommykelly has asked us to share our tunes!! I turned on my iTunes (I was too lazy to get my iPod) and put it on shuffle. Here is a list of the first 12 songs that came on--I like variety!
A.K.A "sliver pickers". As in, "Daddy got a sliver in his foot and he is using the sliver pickers to get it out".
Sarah, over at Mymommyology, is having her very first giveaway and it looks like a great one! I think that Lucas would love the Braincandy DVDs---I think that Logan would even enjoy them!! Head on over and sign up to win!!
We did try the spaghetti bolognese that Laura had posted and it is very good!! I had some homemade sauce in the freezer that I used for it. I also made Sam's French bread--YUM!! I used 2 cups all purpose flour and 2 cups whole wheat flour. I got a bit over zealous while making the 1/4 inch slices in the bread---I think I went more like 1/2 inch, so my bread wasn't very pretty, but it was super good!! I better start making lots of French bread, because I even bought the special pan for it!!
I also made Ree's carrot cake. Yum! I must say I thought it was much better cold. I had some the second day out of the fridge and loved it--and I wasn't crazy for it the first night at room temp.
We were bad and ate out twice last week, so we have a couple of meals to carry over.

Nicknames. I honestly don't recall any that kids called me in school, but I certainly had my share of teasing. Having the name Candi and being pudgy are not a fun combination...oh and if you only knew my maiden name that went along with it--not fun at all!!
So--back to the nicknames. When I was little, my dad would call me toot-toot. I'm not really sure why, but I liked it. And, even though the song wasn't fitting, I liked that there was a song, "Don't Mess with My Toot-toot"..LOL!!
I spent lots of time with my dad's parents and to my Pa-pa, I was "wittle girl". Oh, how I miss my Pa-pa.
My older siblings called me Can-can---and now I am simply Can (by the way, my sister is Audra and to me she is simply Aud!).
My husband called me Nummy Muffin Coo Coo Butter for a while and I had no idea where it came from until now. Nice...LOL!!
5 minutes for mom is having a photo contest and they are asking you to find the picture that symbolizes motherhood to you. Wow---is it hard to choose one, but here is what I settled on....
If you've ever been to my blog, then chances are you noticed this picture. To me, the series of hand pictures that I have in my header symbolizes motherhood. I met and married the love of my life and we've since added two sweet boys to our family. This picture of our hands represents our family and I truly get emotional looking at it. It is true that there is no way to describe the love a mother has for her children. I am truly blessed. Logan and Lucas are the sweetest boys and I can not imagine my life without them. Being their momma is the best feeling in the world.
I love you sweet boys!!
