3D Glasses & Pig Tails – Wordless Wednesday

The Kids

Bella's hair has been long enough for pig tails for quite sometime, but I just pulled it up in them for the first time on Monday.  O.M.G.  Cutest thing ever.  It felt like a rite of passage- I can now call myself a good pig tail stylin' mama.  (haha)  She looked so adorable that I chased her around the house with my camera trying to capture the cuteness.  It's just too much for a photograph. Bryson rediscovered his 3D glasses from when he went to the movies last summer.  He wears them … [Read more...]

In January? Really? – Wordless Wednesday

Playing

Weirdly enough, January was a beautiful month.  If it weren't for the rain, we could have played outside even more than we did.  My dad bought this little car for Bryson last summer, but he wouldn't have much to do with it.  Now, he loves it and uses his imagination to become a fireman.  In the last photo, he's actually using the fire hose to put out a fire, haha.  He should have taken advantage of having it all to himself last summer, because now little sister likes it too.   … [Read more...]

First Family Bowling Trip or A Post About Balls, Poop, & Playgrounds

Family Bowling

I had this fantastic idea that we should go bowling as a family.  It sounded fantastic, anyway.  As with most things that involve a toddler (she's a freakin' toddler!  omg) and little boy (preschooler?), it didn't go exactly as planned. Bryson had NO idea what bowling even was until a couple hours before we went.  I pulled up some YouTube videos just to give him an idea.  He seemed interested enough.  We packed the kids up and headed out on our first family bowling trip! Shoes first.  … [Read more...]

Three is Tough.

Three

Two was a breeze. Three is kicking our butts. To the point where I'm throwing up my hands and saying "What am I doing wrong!?"  I spend all day every day with this child and that is certainly not the behavior I am modeling for him. Justin is the most laid back, easy going person I've ever known.  Even he is overwhelmed.  This secretly makes me feel better. Just this week, we've packed up most of his toys.  After telling him to pick up his toys 436398 times, I finally just picked … [Read more...]

Bryson is Three.

IMG_6526-1

He is three. Three seems like such a big change.  It feels like he isn't a baby anymore, though he will always be my baby.  He's able to communicate his likes and dislikes, what he wants to eat, to play with, who he wants to see. Two was nothing short of amazing.  I never thought two would be such a fun age.  Even with a brand new baby in the house, we managed to go, see, and do all sorts of exciting things.  We went to the aquarium, to the zoo, to see Thomas the Train, and to the … [Read more...]
