My day.....

Aquarium Visit

Yesterday we went to the aqurium with Aunt Nanner. We had a good time.

More pictures to come.

Every time...

This is what I see before I open the side door...every time!!

Life with boys is never dull!

The boys finally passed out last night about 11:15. Pretty impressive for 2 pre-schoolers. At 2 minutes till midnight I woke Adison up to see the ball fall. (We tried to wake Tate up but no go). So Adison watches the fall and climbs back in bed mumblung "Stupid ball, wake me up to watch a ball!"
So you think thats funny enough, next morning I ask him "Do you remember watching the ball fall?" Adison looks at me and says "I hate that ball!"

I was rolling!!

ps: I really need to work on 'stupid and hate' :(

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I got the boys these great glasses to wear to welcome in the new year! The best part was Tate putting his on upside down! So HAPPY L005 every one!!

Over the crib in our room

These are some cards I won at a La Leche League silent auction. I framed them and hung them over the crib in our room. I love having the special connection between mom and child right above where my babies sleep close to me.

Tate's Menagerie

This is what Tate sleeps with each night. Yes that is Darth Tater you see there.

Who all is present.... Mike (of Monsters Inc fame), giraffeeie, Blue (of Blue's Blues fame), Li Li (Lion), Tenn (build a bear Frog), Puppy (great granfather gift), Lumpy (of Winnie the Pooh fame), and Darth Tater ( of Potato Wars fame)....and last night there was a paper airplane in the crowd!
Missing from picture...a small breast cancer bear.

The Boys New Room

For Christmas the boys got a room all their own! We turned the Lime Room (spare room) into their room. Aunt Kerri and Uncle Joey came over and painted. And let me tell you...those 2 can paint the hell out of a room!! I decided on a road sign theme! So they got new quilts, street signs with their names on them and more stuff to come! I think it has turned out great! They seem to really enjoy having a space their own. Now to get them in the room! I am not in a rush, they will move when they are ready. It does make me sad...my babies are growing up!

Uncle Beau passed this along to the boys. The room wasn't dark when I took the pictures, but since the sign is reflective, the just glowed. It only seemed right to have a Do Not Enter sign on their room door.

I got the quilts on ebay! I was so excited when she said she had 2 of them. They match perfect to the wall stripes!!
Tate's Bed

Adison's bed.

I used the boys street signs as window headers.

I got a great memo hanger from Target. The other side has days of the week, so it will be useful when they are in school.
The magnets I have on it are all street signs!!

The boys clothes are in the drawers, books, games and coloring books on the shelf. The bucket on top has road sign stickers all over it.
It's supposed to be the garbage pail, but I'm sure it will end up with cars or potato head pieces in it!
PS Kerri...those are not marks on the wall!!

This is a bank I got on ebay!
Of course now I just have to convience Tate to use it.

Keaton's Rides...

This is my Baby Hawk Mei Tai.

This is Keaton in the Ergo riding in front. Here we are at the aquarium. I think he likes riding on back better. He can see everything. He loves the jelly fish. Huge orange spots on bright blue background!
Again at the aquarium.
