My Cute Little one...

a fun day with Reese and Carsten

We forgot to take a picture of the three dirty boys after playing in the backyard at Jim and Dana's yesterday...I did remember to take a photo of the clothes in the bag...before hitting the washer....

a quick note on my kids...

Clayton - today was his hardest day yet. He has been eating baby food for almost a week...pretty much demanding to be fed food at the table...but today he had a hard time with the #2's...he fussed ALL day and cried when he had to have a "movement"...hard for mommy to watch...so I held him almost all day. It was a miracle that dinner got done and 2 loads of laundry.

Justin - he is getting so big...now if I could just get him Potty trained? HHHmmm...soon maybe. But, as I was nursing Clayton tonight, he got his little baby, sat next to me, and nursed his baby too. Shirt up and all....I had a really hard time not laughing out loud :)

2 years ago

Okay, in loooking for pics of Todd to post for his Bday, I found ones of Justin 2 years ago....thought it would be fun to share pics!

It is amazing how time flies by and how much he has grown....

Happy Birthday to Todd today

Yup, the hubby turns "34" today.....

Old picture of us...pre-Clayton

Todd's project yesterday

Todd has been a busy guy the past few weekends painting. Yesterday was our Master Bedroom. I didn't get a before Pic, but the same color as the other walls...makes the room feel bigger..

Easter Egg Hunt

This morning we ventured to my hometown for an Easter Egg hunt with some of my High School friends-thought we might see Todd's cousins, but we were in the 0-3 group and when we were done, we were COLD...so didn't go try to find them all (sorry)....Luckily it didn't rain on us...and there were tons of eggs for the little ones. Here is the field filled with eggs (plastic ones....and when you get done, you give the eggs back so they can recycle them), but there was goodies inside...stickers, candy, balloons.

All bundled up. Didn't know if Justin would "get" what to do with the eggs, but after we showed him, he was into it....gloves and all.

Christina: Note the boots...

And on our way back...a very full bucket. Now some of you may say, he doesn't have an "easter basket"...well, Mommy is too cheap (economical) to get an easter basket that will sit or that I would sell at the yard sale...so we stopped at the dollar store and got a multi-purpose bucket....now we are ready for the OCEAN!

Here is Clayton...snuggled up with Dad.

Sharing the tubby!

Tonight was bath night at our house....Here are the boys..Pictures are edited... :)

Clayton says "get me outta here"...first time trying to climb out of the tubby...he now want to go...still to lazy to actually crawl...he does roll over now though, when he wants to.

I couldn't resist the smiles....and Justin is a normal smile...

Just the boys

We didn't do much around here yesterday...here are the boys...Yes Justin is mostly Nakkkeeeat our house. If the boys come over and he is actually dressed, it is a real shocker.

and my boy Clayton...

another painting project

Not sure you can really see the color well in pics...Todd got an itch to do more with the house...so this was yesterday afternoons project.

New Paint!

and after...

a little morning reading....

Weekend project...

Todd working on putting up my shelves for pictures....helper too.

This is the after. Not done. I put pictures up for now. I will be painting all the frames the same (red I think)....and the top I am thinking of putting up a "phrase" like family or something...

And, The middle shelf was one we had, but all the other ones were made out of scraps from the shop and Todd made them.

Clayton turns 7 months...yesterday

Yesterday Clayton was 7 months old. He is such a very good baby. He is only fussy when he is really tired or teething...as you can see he is actually happy here and drooling so much his entire shirt is wet. He is working on the top two front teeth right now. Not a ton of fun for him...but he is doing okay.

Not to be outdone, and must have his photo taken as well. Big Brother did most all of this himself..."building tracks" for his Thomas (s).... and yes, he is Nakee....this is how he is at home about 99% of the time. I am really not sure why, but I get him dressed and he just goes into his room, takes his clothes off and comes out and says "mommy I took my clothes off"...so as long as we are home, it is okay with me...he is so funny! He is a good helper with Brother most of the time...

I won $25.00

I just won $25.00. I usually don't win this stuff, but I was playing the huggies enjoy the rides thing online and won a gas gift card...finally..a win!

Even Clayton got a ride on the 4 wheeler...

Justin loves the hose...

Must clean his Tonka Truck!

And, "Officially" Future Aunt Jenny with Clayton. The boys love her....she makes goofy faces with them.

CA trip

We got to CA about 11pm on Wednesday night....long drive, but the kids slept most of the time. Clayton only cried for 1 hour after we stopped to eat. not bad.

Thursday we hung out with Grandma June and went to town for Lunch....Justin had a blast on the 4 wheeler and hanging outside playing all day!

He took his truck up and down the driveway many many times

Had to call to him to make sure to turn around...he would have kept on going and going.

Silly faces...

My cutie!
