*Gotta Love Mothers!*

What a nice Mothers Day! We had early church-*8:30am* Yikes! So no sleeping in for me! But when we got home Nick made me a delicious Salmon lunch w/mashed potatoes and corn! YUMMY! Then we were off to visit my awesome sweet mother-I just love my mom-she is such a great example to me of what a mother out to be! She is selfless and generous and by golly just so much fun to be around! And she's beautiful!!
Then we visited my cute Mother in law Jean. She made us a delicious dinner and always goes the extra mile by putting on pretty table cloth and nice dishes. She is so good to play with all the kids and get out every single toy that she owns! Thanks Jean for all you do! We Love you!
These pics aren't wonderful quality but I forgot my "big camera" but hey its Mothers Day :)

*Yeah for Movies*

Woo whoo for movies! I'm such a action junkie (perhaps its being raised with only brothers :)

My parents took all of the fam to see Iron Man last week! (also thanks to Emili for watching my kids so late-I owe ya) It totally rocked. I really like Robert Downey Jr. as an actor (especially back in the day with "Only You" such a cute romantic comedy) So thanks to my Fam. it was fun spending the evening out with you!

*What do ya get when you have 2 tall hotties???

Freakin Awesome Engagement Pictures!!! This is my sister in laws sister and her fiance. These two totally rocked this session! I could have posted so many more because they all turned out awesome!!!! This was so much fun! Thanks you guys for playing along with all my crazy ideas :)

*All I want for Christmas is my........*

...2 front TEETH :) After many weeks of wiggliness they have finally come out!! Bailey would not let us even give them a little pull (even when they were sooo wiggley) They had to come out by themselves. When she lost the first front one, the other sagged down toward the center which we lovingly called her "hillbilly tooth" untill it finally came out! Hooray!

I'd like to thank my brothers and their wifes for getting Bailey (& Owen) a fun toy for loosing her front teeth. Dave & Joni took the kids one night so we could have a date- and Dan & Marky bought Bailey a toy (and Owen :) Uncles & Aunts rule!!!!!

*Oh this is our Tooth Fairy Pillow *

which I had when I was a kid :)

*Yeah- No training wheels!*

No more training wheels for this little lady :) She was soooo ready that it didn't take her long to figure it all out. Nick had to help with a few "starts" but then she took off like a rocket (and almost hit the mail box!) Were so very proud of you Bailey Bug!

*What a Poop!*

So little Owies had gotten into this wonderful habit of taking off his diaper when he poos (without letting me know- of course) So I was doing the dishes the other day, when all was too quiet- so I proceded upstairs to find little poo droplets in the hallway that lead into his room (at this point I know I'm in for a reall treat!) He has taken off his poopey diaper (which he put into the garbage, I'm so very proud :-) and has climbed into his bed and is curled up on his blankets! Oh what joy this brings me!!! So I gave him a quick bath (although the blankets did a great job of that!) and threw the damaged goods in the washer. (and cleaned up the hallway) We had a great little chat on not taking off our diaper unless Mom is there to help and we brought out the little potty.

So our day goes on and I get busy doing something else and once again... all is quiet!!!!! So I go upstairs to find Owies on his changing table covered in poo trying to wipe himself (I tell myself, "Wow, my son is resourceful and trying to get the job done himself, even though the wipe container itself is covered in poo and so is the changing table- "must have happy thoughts!!!)

So once again into the tub we go. When we are all done I still notice some unpleasant odors in his room. Its then when I notice the clean clothes I had just put in his closet pulled out in a pile with steaks of poo and pee all over them--- Oh Happy Day!!! Oh the joys of cleaning up poo!

Also we will be full fledged potty training shortly :)

Gotta love my son!!!

*Sweetest little boy*

oh the cuteness of this little six month old!! He has the prettiest blue eyes (he won't want to hear that when he gets older, hehehe) He could just sit up enough to take a few shots before he'd fall over- Oh and the naked shots were my absolute favorites :)





He has the longest eyelashes!


Yeah for cute naked bums (well, only on babies :)
