Sleepy?

Why do my little two act like they're getting a root canal when it's bed time?! It's always one or the other fighting like holy hell to not give into the droopy eyes.......
tonight it's her

she should look like this

it's going to be a long night

Oh baby

Ari just asked me why we don't have alot more kids... Uhh have you met your brother?!

Hot dog!

Getting Trevor to eat in general is a chore. Ryan decided to feed him a hot dog left offer from his sister's grad party. It's not organic and is cured and full of junk.... This is what happens when you feed a spoiled kid inferior hot dogs.

I mean really...

Who doesn't wear undies, a shirt, and a lightening mcqueen helmet all day??

What 2 foot tall person isn't trying to climb the couch?



Just realized my 7 yr old changed three times yet again this morning and left her castoffs all over the floor. Who wouldn't settle on this?!

Trev

I can't believe he's 3! I remember his very long birth like it was him just 9months ago and not his baby sister.
This kid just had a birthday and to say he likes trains would be an understatement! I've been tripping over trains with as many cars as the real thing all week. To moms of other little boys buy a few trains and tracks and skip the table. They are usually on the floor and not on one of the tables made for them.
And since I have this mainly for them, and want him to know exactly just how crazy he was as a child. He did respect the boundaries of a baby gate on his door, but lately started throwing his 4 1/2 yr old sized leg over and doing as he pleases. I bought an extra tall gate and he just climbed that too. I have resorted to locking him in his room with a lock on the outside of the door handle when he's sleeping! He's by far my most challenging child :)

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!
