I need to practice more Mom..

I don't usually blog about my family, I've tried to keep it as impersonal as possible and just let my photos speak for themselves. I was sittin around on Sunday and it it hit me.. That's just not me. I talk a lot, I laugh a lot, I cry a lot, and.. well, lets just say I do a lot... except blog. I thought I'd give it a try and see where it leads me :)

This is my son Cyrus, but everyone calls him Buddah. His Uncle Dennis gave him that name when he was a baby, because he was HUGE. Buddah weighed around 35+ pounds when he was 6 months old. The kid was already puttin away Happy Meals at six months. Thankfully, he outgrew his chubby baby stage, but the name has stuck. I think only kids at school and his teachers call him Cyrus. Sometimes we do a double take when someone calls out "Cyrus!" and forget that  its Buddah's name lol.

Buddah has been playing football for three years now, and he excels at it. My husband and I thought it would do him some good to expand his horizons and try different sports. Yesterday was his first soccer game, and he looked so lost haha (granted though, he was very excited to play). Ok, not small kine lost.. like I-don't-think-I-belong-here lost. Long story short, they lost, and the rest of my kids were clownin on Buddah the whole way home lol.. cause thats just how we do! Just a glimpse at Buddah's game from yesterday:

Growin Up Too Fast

My son Meryc (sounds like Merrick) is the youngest of 7. He's only 5. Yes. FIVE. He's an astute five year old and wants to do everything the older kids do.. so we decided to put him in soccer.  He plays for a team of 1st & 2nd graders, and had way too much fun!

My baby's growing up too fast.. Time  really flies doesn't it. I will never tire of his  hourly "Mommy I love you" that he yells from his bedroom while I work, his contagious laugh, or his stupefied grin because I know one day soon (and for me even years from now will be far too soon) he'll grow up and leave me. In short, life kinda sucks like that.. but I'll enjoy him as much as I can while I can!

















love,

mom
