Being Silly!

Life Is Good

This week Tess, Courtney and I took the kids to Vilano Beach for the first time this year. The sky was over cast and it was super windy, but the kids (except Colin) didn't seem to mind.

This is going to be a great season at the beach. The kids are playing on their own and are loving to dig in the sand. As you can see, for the first time we were able to bring beach chairs and actually use them!

It's not every day you get to wake up to a big hug from God!

Purple Paci, All Gone?!

YES!!!!! It's been a week and a half and Purple (and pink) paci's are all gone!

Thanks to the lovely "poop" episode last week we've been able to get rid of the paci's once and for all! Addi had so much fun playing with her poo that she even got it on her Paci! We went to the bathroom, threw it in the trash together and that was the end of it...well kind of.

Since Addi has used a paci at bed time since she was a baby it was quite traumatic for her to go to bed w/o it. She was so sad (with tears in her eyes) and so stressed trying to figure out how to fall asleep, but not once did she ever ask for her paci! I was so impressed. She completely understood what had happened and why she could no longer have it. (I completely underestimated her!)
That first night I sat on her floor and held her hand for an hour before she fell asleep. She woke up again at 1:30am and I did the same thing - another hour. She did not take a nap the next day. But that night she was so tired she fell asleep within minutes. And that was the end of it!

Rock The Cradle

Thought you might like to see where I've been every Friday on my "Day Off". :)

So, How's your day going?

2yr. & 2mos. DR's Visit

Yesterday the kids had their Dr.'s appointments. Needless to say they are both in perfect health and way above average on the growth charts.
Addi is now 35 inches tall and weighs 29lbs. 12oz.
Colin is almost 25 inches long and weighs 14lbs. 3oz.!!

Colin is doing really well. He is still a great baby!
His 8-10pm fussy time is now over. Yippee!
He goes to bed around 8pm, usually wakes up around 3am (just in time for General Hospital on Soap Net), then sleeps till 7:30ish. He naps in the am for a bit, then takes a long afternoon nap. He and Addi are almost on the exact same schedule! I have no idea how long this will last, but I LOVE IT!!!!

Roll'in with the Homies!

Just a typical day...

One Crafty Chick

What the heck is One Crafty Chick!?
Apparently life is not busy enough with a newborn and a 2 year old...
I've decided to start my own business! - One Crafty Chick.
I plan to have a "launch date" of May 1st. Until then you're all in the dark. HA!

Take care,
Sara

Addi turns TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe it! My little girl is 2 already! Where did the time go...?!

Addison woke up in the morning to Dora balloons in her bedroom and her silly parents singing "Happy Birthday to you!" She then got to open a few presents before Matt went off to work. One of which was her new bike. We had been asking her all week what she wanted for her b-day and every time she'd respond "a bike, a blue one". I guess she got her wish!

Grandma, Bubba, Nick & Quinn (and their parents too!) came over at night to celebrate and have pizza and cupcakes. ...Let's just say a good time was had by all!

Let Them Eat Cake!

A Visit with Uncle Dabid!!!!
