Baby Z

Boy oh boys!  This poor mama is outnumbered yet again.  Introducing handsome Baby Z.  This little guy can sleep through anything…having two older brothers I suppose you’d have to!  No complaining here, definitely made my job easier!   

Thanks Poots Little Creations for the sweet dino beanie!

simple things

Sometimes life gets busy and stressful. And in those times its nice to stop and find a few simple things that make your heart smile. Here are a few of mine from this past week.

Spring flowers

Refreshing spring colors that encourage us that summer IS coming! Oh! and learning how to do a ‘sock bun’…Hello! Where have you been all my thin-haired life!?

Being the funniest person in the world…to one little person.

Springside Avenue Designs

Some people just don’t come into your life soon enough!    If only I had known this talented nursery designer when I was pregnant with my boys.    Cristy of Springside Avenue Designs not only creates beautiful and innovative nurseries but she will custom design the bedding as well.  Because it’s not enough being large and out of breath, hormonal and not allowed to lift anything and then have to put together a nursery!  And this way you can be the envy of all at your first Mommy and Me class!

WHAT A YEAR!

“A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun.  Enjoy the trip.”  ~Author Unknown

Baby Dre is O-N-E! This has been both the longest and shortest year of my life…but it is still hard to believe that the first year has passed. We have a happy healthy little man who keeps us entertained every minute of the day.

I saw the idea for these photographs on Pinterest and knew immediately that I HAD to try this with Dre. I know I’m completely biased…but I think he is ADORBS!

Noah turns 7

Dude!  I have a 7-year-old?!  What a year.  The transition from kindergarten to first grade was hard.  Longer days, timed math tests, timed sight words, new playground rules…Wow!  It stresses ME out!  He only likes school ‘sometimes’, which I actually think means ‘never’.  It’s a good thing for outlets like Tae Kwon Do and track!  

Here Noah answers some very important questions but you’ll notice he has a hard time committing to some of his answers…    

1..Use one word to describe yourself.  Nice.

2..What do you want to be when you grow up?  A policeman, but then you never know when you could get killed by a bad guy so maybe a person who studies animals.

3..Where will you live?  In the forest with the animals.

4..What is your favorite food?  I don’t know!  I have so many favorites.  Sushi, I guess.

5..If you could be a superhero, who would you be?  Black Panther

6..Who is your best friend?  I don’t think I can narrow it down but it would be Cy or Mateo.

7..What do you think of girls?  I don’t really think about them that much.

8..Do you wish you had more brothers and sisters in your family?  No.   Well, maybe baby Dre.

9..What’s your favorite thing to do?  Play with my dad.

10..How old are you when you’re an adult?  20 or 30.  I think 20 because you’re 20 something right?
