Isaac's first time out of the Crib

On Saturday we are getting Bunk Beds for the boys and since Isaac needed to get adjusted sleeping out of a crib we put his crib mattress on the floor Thursday night. He seemed okay with it until I hear at 11:45pm at night his door opening and he was standing in the hallway so I put him back to bed. Mommy ears called again, I heard him again this time at 1:45am and he had gone downstairs, wrapped himself up in his blankets and turned the TV on! Silly kid. I then asked him what was wrong and he said he was cold so I wrapped him up with a big comforter and put him back to bed and he slept until 7am.

This is Friday night when I went to check on him and I couldn't resist snapping the picture. My big boy is growing up.

More Artwork

I just love when my son comes home from school with his artwork. He is so excited to show us.

I kept wondering where he was coming up with saying, "S T O P stop!" when he would look at the stop sign? Well this is why.

It looks like he is learning to write his name!

When I asked Jared who this was he said, "Oh that's just Daddy.

My DIY projects that have needed to be done for YEARS

BEFORE

AFTER

Okay so 5yrs ago Jon and I purchased our first home and when we moved in I was Pregnant with Jared and really not i nthe mood to tackle the nasty kitchen floor to clean it (yeas I have cleaned my floor but whatI am talking about in the first picture is the ground dirt in the grooves of the linoleum that I could never get out until a friend of mine on FaceBook said that Club Soda gets it out. It was worth a shot so I decided to take the club soda and mix it with Baking Soda to from a paste and used my fingers and rubbed the floor and voila it was clean! I couldn't believe my eyes.

My next project has only taken me 3 1/2 years or so. When Jon and I found out we were having a boy (Jared) we decide to put up a Buzz LightYear border( pictures above). When Jared was 18 months old he tore it all down and it has sat this way since then. But I got motivated because I am getting bunk beds from someone at church so I had to fix the room.

My lovable, cute, adorable Isaac is driving me nuts!!!!!!! In the past month he has manged to climb onto the counters tops and proceed to throw vitamins all over the floor, eat brown sugar out of the canisters, throw brown sugar all over the floor, climb the counter again and get into my baking cupboard and eat sprinkles upon sprinkles and throw those on the floor as well, oh and Jon left the glass cleaning spray on the counter and he sprayed the entire wall by the microwave and sprayed the cooking utensils and took said cooking utensils poked holes in the Orange and sprayed the orange as well, smashed cubes of butter and put all over himself, got into the refrigerator poured Parmesan cheese all over the floor and he decided that the mushrooms needed some cheese too so he poured cheese into the mushroom bag, last Monday Jon made homemade french fries and we left the oil on the counter in the pan and you guessed it our little "ANGEL" took the cooking utensils once again and poured oil all over the counter and pokes holes in an apple this time and gave it a grease bath, he also managed to paint my kitchen cabinet blue from the paint I used to fix Jared's room Picasso watch out and today he decided to get into another cabinet and have fun pulling the tape inerts out. Whoo Hooo! Fun times at my house :)

It's a Bird It's a Plane...what is that Bright thingy??

It is February 19th and the Birds are singing away, the flowers are blooming achoo!, the frogs are serenading my house nightly and the SUN is out and since the kids were driving me NUTS today I sent them outdoors.

It feels like springy/summery but the allergies are kicking my butt!

Ekkkk I am BUSY

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I feel like I have been super busy and running here and there and do you ever feel like Alice in Wonderland chasing the white rabbit? Well that would be me. If there were only more hours in the day we would be all good. In January a friend sent out an email to me regarding HOT yoga (www.HotYogaOfFederalWay.com). I was a little scared but decided to go for it. The first class I did a 6o minute one and 3/4 of the way through it I had a PANIC attack ahhhhh!!! But I succeeded in coming back again and again. It was the most euphoric, relaxing, meditative thing I have ever done in my life and now I am ADDICTED! I put the website on here for those interested check it out, it will change your life! Valentines day Jon and I have decided a long time ago that we don't need to give each other gifts because we show our love for each other all the time. So any excuse to bake goodies for my friends and neighbors I do. I always make my sugar cookies and decorate them but this year I decided to branch out a little and I found a recipe for Red Velvet cupcakes and made them. They turned out really good, but I didn't realize it takes 2 bottles of red food coloring! Yikes red dye #40 here we come!

I should have taken a picture of the final product because they really turned out cute! Oh and I can't forget my lovable two year old Isaac who has been trying to potty train and has actually gone on the toilet twice 1&2 yeah!!! and also getting into EVERYTHING but that is another post :)

More of Jared's school Pictures

I love when Jared comes home from preschool, he always has papers to bring me. So instead of saving every scrap of paper I take pictures and then keep the ones I want. Here is the family portrait from L-R Jared, Jon with a sad face, Isaac, Me with big eyelashes and Taylor. This is my favorite picture that he has brought home.

January's theme was Hickory, Dickory, Dock

December's theme was Gingerbread men and they even had a bakery set up in the preschool for the kids to play with.

Jared said that this was a bomb from Daddy's video game that he was playing; Zelda Twilight Princess

and more bombs. I love my child's imagination.
