I hate Wednesday pick up!

Animal crackers could be breakfast no?

Reece Emmerson Elizabeth

is here and such a joy, but most of yall should know this :) she made her grand quick entrance on May 5th in time for margaritas

going home......



today at 2weeks old :)

From the desk of ari: A long time ago Barack Obama said a speech and some people didn't like it so he got a shot. That's not ok because only a Dr. sould give you a shot....

At least some of the history lessons are staying with her?
Yes I explained it was Mr. King and a gun shot to which she questioned why someone in our family got shot LOL

LG I love you! Your air dry is actually cold air! My shirts are fluffy and as if they were hung dry!

This Bus Is Full

So, yes, it is 4am but insomnia during pregnancy is almost a nightly thing for me. I usually can't sleep through with just waking to pee at least one night every couple weeks. So ry got trev's infant carrier out for reece to use.... rather than store it in the house we slapped it in the car. So surreal to have 3 seats back there. I just ordered a seat cover and it better fit! I'm probably the only person worried that one carseat doesn't have a mat under it at 4am. It looks massive! Lets hope it fits since it only has 4 stars due to fit issues for some people. I'm optimistic though as I really don't want 3 separate ones back there (hi, we're the the kings and we're car seat wardens with our 6.5 yr old still in a 5pt harness). When it arrives I WILL be having poor red detailed (he is 4 yrs old now) and all the seats put back in.
On a completely opposite note.....
Ry's in denver and comes home tonight at midnight thank GOD trev has been his most naughty self possible, and it's been 2 nights of fighting at dinner for him to eat and my dinner being eaten cold at 8:30. He also usually takes trev in the shower with him in the am since he knows I don't sleep well, and I get to sleep in a little. This is obviously not happening with him gone :( We miss you daddy!!!

Heart Attack Anyone?!

We always joke Trevor will be our ER child! He's fearless and has already had stitches in his hand. Today I'm so very glad it wasn't visit number 2! The thought of how serious this accident could have been terrifies me. Ryan was in the living room with the kids, and trev leaned back and bonked his head on the window, but not intentionally so it wasn’t very hard. We think he hit it just right because we knock from the inside out when ry gets home etc. The glass fell outward instead of down like they usually do thanks goodness!

Dear Apple,

You really should make a quieter keyboard so my husband doesn't want to kill me when I can't sleep at 6am on a Saturday.
Thanks,

Ehwhoa!!!

Fluffy Heinys

Click on that lil button on the right to read up on cloth diapering, and enter to win Fluffy Fridays! We love, love, LOVE cloth diapering! It saved a soaked bed every night thanks to disposables, and now we wouldn't go back for anything in the world.
Enjoy!

For viewing fun trev in a fluffy "heiny" he loves to be naked :)

Maybe He Gets It From His Sister?

I mean who doesn't think this looks good together?

For the Love of Shoes!

So R gets out of school at 2:10 and Trev's nap time was 1:30. Instead I drop him in his carseat at 1:50 and he passes out on the 1 mile trip to school or waiting for her. When it's warm out I take his jeans off before we leave so he's not hot napping in them. THIS is what he insisted on wearing out of the house today......
Who needs girls when I have him?!!!

Fashion Police

When will people understand that printed leggings and a shirt are NOT an outfit and not attractive?! Solid leggings under a dress or skirt looks great, but the other is just wrong. Gymboree and Target are only fueling this disaster and it drives me crazy!
Now ignoring the obvious tackiness of animal print all together that only seniors and little girls could love (you've seen my daughter's backpack she wanted all of this)
WHY anyone would wear these as pants with a shirt like this is beyond me! I've seen a few girls in it at R's school

Silly Trevor

he's never blown raspberries on anything before.... good giant spot to learn I suppose :) He insists on my belly being uncovered when showing someone "baby"

TWO!

I can't believe 2 years ago I was enjoying my 4 hour old baby boy. Time has gone even faster with him than R. I assume since life is just twice as busy, and here I lay with another little person growing due to make her entrance in the first week of may. When I think about how quickly he's grown up I can see how people have 10 or more kids..... then I spend a day with just his busy self and ask what on earth were they thinking :) We had dinner at Auntie Jenelle's house so R could see our newest niece Alyssa, and we could all celebrate this big 2 year old boy with a Cars party. Ry's dad told me this morning bring on the terrible twos! I replied "he's been terrible for a while now he just has an excuse" lol Some day he'll quit climbing and getting into stuff! (I hope) until then we live a life of safety devices! I can barely get into my own bathroom door.... being at Jenelle's reassured me why this is necessary when so much toilet paper had been unraveled into their toilet in 10 seconds flat there was no water left. Thank GOD it wasn't flushed! Trevor my hunny we love you very much and your antics just remind us you are 100% ALL BOY!





My how you've changed from This dark haired tiny thing

So being pregnant makes me an insomniac. I go to bed fine I wake up around 3:30 with Reece (was 5 on the dot with Trev) and can not get back to sleep for 2-3 hours. Trev just started sleeping great through the night and here I am with minimal sleep again. I should be good and ready by May. To pass the time I'm up looking at scrub tops for Ry's mom to have embroidered from the kids

CHEEEEEESE

In other news

we're 1 step closer to making millions! I'm so proud of my husband I bought him a new fluffy pillow seen in that there picture below! Ours are 4yrs old and worn in. If you have a chance stay at a westin hotel with a heavenly bed! We stayed our wedding night and bought two of the pillows. If I could afford all the bedding I would! Our mattress is made by the same company theirs is, and only 3 years old so it'll have to do :) Nordstrom also sells the bedding etc

Speaking of Not Sleeping

this is an IM copy/pasted from tonight



9:39 PM ME: Ry just asked me where ari was...... he tucked her in @@
9:40 PM O: what lol she got out!
ME: no he's just "not sleeping"
O: oooooh
9:41 PM ME: you know how you're like babe and they're all snappy WHAT and you're like wth are you doing sleeping at 9:15?! Then he's like "I'm NOT sleeping"
9:42 PM ME:So I go ok well when I close my eyes and someone has to say my name 5 times to get an answer I was sleeping
9:43 PM O: I know this so well lol

He's so much NOT SLEEPING he didn't notice my loud ass pda click sound or the flash!

Trevor....

GO TO SLEEP!

Oh My Gosh Trevor!

comes from Ari's mouth more than I like hearing! Two seconds ago it was followed with essentially tattling..... "Trevor just pulled the bed out all the way" I urge you go into a Babies R Us find the babiitalia pinehurst lifetime crib (not drop side) and tell me should a 27lb toddler be able to pull this across his room?! If we had the space I'd set it up as the full sized bed and bed done with it but he still needs too much room to play.

WHY?

Do I need such horrid acid reflux while pregnant?! I have never had it prior to T's pregnancy in 06 and it vanished the minute he was born only to return with this lil booger as mentioned around 5 weeks! I literally must take a pill every night before I can even think about eating dinner. Only 1 per 24 hours is allowed or I'd be at 2 a day. Stop squishing my stomach! Someday around May 10th will be wonderfully acid free until then pepcid a/c berry flavor you are my BFF. ( I mention berry specifically because ry has accidentally gotten cool mint I about puked from the flavor alone)
