Celebrating our little man’s first birthday was much anticipated and we couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. We decided the theme for his party would be The Very Hungry Caterpillar because of the bright, bold colors and because our little man is just that; a very hungry little caterpillar! I decided to break […]
With all the anticipation, I could barely keep Gwyn from going under the flag before the hunt began. Once the whistle was actually blown, she froze and didn’t want to go under. It was quite funny! She did manage to get one egg, though! And she was quite proud of that one […]
Baby Cal got his first haircut last week. In my eyes this was a big milestone that needed pictures, a frozen celery stick for distraction, and a Ziplock baggie to keep his first hair clippings. He actually seemed to enjoy the feeling of the hair clipper and was quite pleasant during the entire cut! Making […]
Baby Cal turned one last Friday. ONE! Already!? It’s just a little hard to take in. I feel like I was just welcoming our little man into the world and now he’s a “toddler.” I still don’t like the sound of that. I think I could go on a little tangent right about now, […]
The other morning as the kids and I were just about to head out the door, Gwyn casually asks, “Mommy, will you change my poo poo?” Thinking, of course she poo’d right as we are trying to leave, I reply, “Sigh….yeah, hon, let’s go to your room” as I put Calvin’s car seat down and […]
You know when you are on Mommy Cloud Nine because your kids have been so sweet and you are so thankful to be their Mommy and life really just couldn’t be any better? You know how good that feels? Well, think of that feeling and then imagine the opposite. I was feeling that “Mommy High,” […]
Gwyn received a doctor toy for Christmas and loves helping her “patients” feel better. While playing with her daddy one evening… Gwyn: “You sick, Daddy?” Daddy: “Yeah, I am not feeling well.” Gwyn: “Okay, I make you feel better.” Daddy: “Thank you, Sweetie.” Gwyn: “Say ahhhhh”- While looking in his mouth. Daddy: “Ahhhhhh……..” Gwyn: “Okay, […]
For Valentines Day I had planned a special meal for The Hubby and I of one of our favorite foods, scallops. We had THE BEST scallops ever in Portland for New Years at The Nines hotel a couple years ago and I had forgotten how good those were until I recently ordered scallops at a […]
(I apologize for the funky spacing, I wrote this in Word Pad and it’s not transferring nicely.) As you probably know, the season finale of The Bachelor is TONIGHT!!! This is a little bittersweet for me because that means no more bachelor mondays for a while, (sigh) but I suppose that’s life. 😉 The final […]
I once had a bully. She was tall and had white-blonde straight hair. She was popular and walked around with confidence. She was one year older. She had striking blue eyes and was quite beautiful. I had never hated anyone before. Until I returned back to school shortly after my father had passed away and […]
