Happy Half Birthday!

Our little princess is 6 months old! Well, closer to seven now but when these photos were taken a few weeks ago she was :) For her birthday she picked out her own toy for the first time and I didn't gripe the next time Jamie tried to sneak her a little something sweet. Still no cans of pink icing, but i will let a taste of ice cream slide now that she is half way to 1!! Jackson helped me get a few pics of her, she will always laugh for him:) She is totally a ham until I get out the camera, then she just wants to try to get it from me, so it' s a good thing I had Jacks help. I swear he can do anything and she will laugh, he must be the funniest person she has ever met!

If that is not total admiration I don't know what is.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

(i am not sure why but I never published this post, it's 2 months old. there are 2 new posts, don't miss 'em!)

Now that she is four months old and so over being a tiny baby, she decided it was high time she had some real food. So with my assistance, she plopped herself down into her bumbo, put on a super cute bib (even big girls can be a bit messy) and prepared herself for a new and exciting taste adventure!

The shiny black camera posed a bit of a problem, it is very hard to concentrate on the task at hand when there is something screaming for your attention in the background. While bananas are fun to spit out immediately after being fed them, you gotta look good for the camera!

It turns out that on top of being a great toy, these things actually tatse good too... as a matter of fact she would like some more... and could you hurry it up please.

back from a small break

SO, we broke our laptop a while ago which resulted in a little time away from the internet world, but we got a new one and our back in buisness:) With all of our spare time I talked Codee into remodeling our down stairs bathroom/laundry room, actually I talked him into quite a few weekend projects, I don't know how I managed that. And almost everytime he talked Billy into helping, even with his busted ear, thanks Bill! Here is the bathroom then and now. I love it!

The problem with this is that now I want to redo the other bathrooms:) I need a good color scheme for my master bathroom, any suggestions? Codee gets on my case about using too much brown and he hates red and I am not a big fan of green, what's left that is appropriate for a bathroom?

He's 5!!!

I can't believe it! He is 5! It was a long, eventful day for him, filled with as many blue things as we could think of:) It started off with a big bright blue breakfast, BLUE eggs, toast and milk. Hold up, it actually started with him sleeping in till 10, this boy knows how to enjoy a birthday! When first offered blue eggs his response was "mom, that's impossible!" but Jessica proved him wrong and he was impressed. After the colorful breakfast, with only a little hesitation to try it, he moved on to sqiurting everything he thought he could get away with drenching with his new color blaster (blue water, of course). Next on the agenda was the water park then nachos, blue ice cream and 5 candies of his choice from judds, some of which were also blue, to wrap up the afternoon. A few hours spent with his Aunt Misty and some cousins, i think there was even a piece of Asphalt pie involved. He partied hard till after 9 with that crazy crowd and came home to blue balloons, blue cupcakes and sparklers!!!! Finally crashed in my room watching star wars to end the day. I think it would be safe to say he was one happy boy today! I sure love my hilarious, nutty, entertaining and super sweet 5 year old:)

4 months and 27 years.

We had two birthdays in our family this month!! Sophie turned 4 months old:) and I turned 27, ahhhHHHH!!! Sophie is hilarious these days! She can almost sit up on her own, she eats bananas and gags when I try to give her rice cereal. "Sof" is what her big brother calls her and she lights up when he talks to her, she is VERY tickleish and just discovered her tounge some time last week:).












I, on the other hand, have not had so many cute mile stones lately. I did take Jackson to register for Kindergarden and that was quite a moment for me. On my birthday my sisters, mom and I went out for lunch, froyo (did I get it rigth Chloe?) and some light shopping. Thank you for the lovely evening girls! Codee managed to pull through with an awesome gift and a sitter so the two of us could go out, well done Codee:) While waiting for the sitter we had a mini photo shoot and niether of us are at all photogenic so it started getting a little out of hand, good thing Jamie showed up when she did! All in all, a great day!!

When boredom sets in...

If all else fails I am pretty much guaranteed to find some way to entertain myself with Sophie:) Be it playing dress-up, making her lip sync, or putting her in a stroller that is intended for a baby doll (the plastic kind!). Boys are great fun and all but I can only play Lego's or Batman for so long, but dress-up, I could do that all day long! Speaking of dress up, I am not a big fan of the big bows, while this one is SUPER cute, I put it on just for the sake of the picture and I must admit that it looks pretty dang cute. I guess what it comes down to is that anything would look cute on this little doll:)

Cede's 6th birthday

I mostly wanted to learn how to put a movie clip on here, atleast I think that is a good excuse for posting this clip of Cede opening her birthday peresent. When I showed this to Codee he said "oh no, we are starting to treat our dogs better than our kids." I don't know about that but I will admit that I get to much enjoyment from the stupid poochies:)
