noah's new words

noah is talking so much these days and we can almost make out about 75 % of what he is saying, yay! here are some of his new words...



"i want breakfast."

"i'm hungry."

"go away now, mom."



and the newest one...

"no way mama. no night night!"



i love my little stinky :).

too hot

it has been positively scorching this past week. now i am the first to admit that i am in love with summer heat but this week has been a bit much, think temps in the 100's! we have been spending most of our time either at the pool or playing in our cool basement. noah doesn't seem to mind the heat. in fact, i think he prefers it! it gives him an excuse to be nakey :).

birthday party!

hi loves! we had the kiddies birthday party on saturday and it was a total blast!


i am so lucky my babies are born so close together, so that we can celebrate their birthday's with one huge party.

i kept telling myself that i was going to enjoy the party and not stress to much about making everything perfect.


i think i did a good job but i still probably looked like a chicken with her head cut off most of the time with the way i was running around.


all in all i would chalk the party up as a success. we had good food, good friends and family, adorable kids and good weather.


thanks to everyone who came and made my littles special day perfect!

snow pictures and noey baby

we had all the fun playing in the snow on tuesday.


our buds accross the street were home so that made it even better.


noah, is doing great after his surgery yesterday.


he has barely cried just a tiny bit fussy, moving slow and needing extra snuggles.

which we are all, including sassy, willing to give.

he didn't sleep very well last night. because he slept basically all day yesterday. so i am hoping for a very, very, lllooooonnnnggggg nap today.

happy thursday!

mom, mommy, mama, mama, mama......

noah, woke up at early this morning. i am not sure of the exact time because without my glasses/contacts i have a hard time making out the numbers on the clock. i do know that the time started with a 5.

i am so tired i could fall asleep right at the computer desk.

i tried to ignore him but soon his, "mama's" got so loud they were bordering screams. i had to get him out of bed before he woke his sister. it didn't work. by 6:15 the kids were sitting at the table eating breakfast and i was standing infront of my coffee maker willing it to brew my (extra strong) coffee, faster.

why does sleep deprivation have to be apart of being a parent?

why can't kids be born with the ability to sleep as long as their parents need them to so we aren't zombies?

i used to pride myself on being the master of getting my kids to sleep well.

noah, has crushed that notion.

call it....

ok, lets be honest i am not going to finish the 30 days of truth challenge. i am sorry i just don't have time to be "deep" right now (keep the jokes to yourself, please (-: ). so lets just call a peach a peach, i'm out. so long challenge. nice knowin' ya. don't let the door hit you on the way out.

anyway how about a little, "gracie says!"

gracie: we need to get rid of noah.
me: what!?!?! no we don't we love noey baby.
gracie: yeah i know but he poops in his pants.

happy monday!

Gracie says part 6

{gracie: daddy, is a good daddy because he doesn't turn my shower on too hot.
me: that is nice.
gracie: you are a bad mommy because you turn my shower on too hot.
me: i am sorry, baby girl!
gracie: that's alright mommy, just try better next time.}


{gracie speaking to noah while he is throwing a fit about being in the bath tub because he popped all over himself and the world (sorry tmi, i know)...}

{gracie: noey, if you are good i will give you a sucker.
noah: [[crying]] [[yelling]]}

{gracie: mommy why did noah poop all over?
me: i don't know.
gracie: boys are disgusting!}

boy

this little dude is so cute.


i just had to get that out.



my sister says, "he is so cute it makes my stomach hurt."


it's true looking at this boy makes me ache.


love you, stink!
