Banana Chocolate Smoothies!!

2 large very ripe bananas (or frozen)

1 cup of milk.. I prefer almond milk

3-5 Tablespoons of Cocoa powder

This smoothie is guaranteed to be a kid pleaser and it's a healthy treat.  The bananas are naturally super sweet so no need to add extra sugar!

Max also loves when I pretend to "shave" off his mustache when I wipe off his face. :)

Things I'm thankful for...

Open mouth slobbery kisses from my 6 month old

Constant "attacks" and "presents" from my 2 1/2 year old

A wonderful, loving husband and father to our two kiddos

Food to put on our table, a roof over our heads

Shoes to put on our feet...

Thank you lord for being such a wonderful, gracious, loving God.  Help me to not overlook the simple, small, or big blessings that you give to me everyday.  Including slobbery kisses. :)  I love you lord Thank you for always being my foundation and my rock!

My funny little Max

Today I signed up Max for Basketball lessons at the local workout facility. I love seeing life through a child's eyes... also it's amusing watching someone else try to direct and harness your child's energy. I definitely got a few good laughs today. Haha. He is such a sweet little boy and I have to remember that he's only 2 1/2 and that his attention span is still only so long.

While we were leaving the facility Max saw the basketball court and got super excited. He pointed to it and said "Max plays basketball down there!" You could tell he was thinking about something else and he continued to say.. "Max got time out down there." Oh... little Max you bring me more joy that you can imagine. I love you and can't wait to see who you become. I pray that God shows me how to harness your energy for good and that you can continue
to be a light wherever you go. 

My two boys... loving being  mom.. :)  How can you not smile everyday with these beautiful creations?
