A Find!

It's still early but when u find a swim suit that meets all your requirements u go for it. It is just an added bonus when it only cost 7.95 from WalMart!

Breleigh

Don't forget your protective eyewear while in the bilibo and no matter how sleepy you get... Never let go of your purse.

Surprise lunch

Jim took the afternoon off so off to "zebras" we went! (steak and shake). This is where helaina always wants to go but the weekends r so busy. Yeah for a fun afternoon.

Stinky Dog

Hopefully Parker will smell better now! I shampooed him twice. I find it strange that when trying to show him it seems I can't get him wet and yet when I try to dry him I can't get him dry!

Easton is Three Months

Easton is Three Months! I have said it before and I will say it again.... WHERE DOES THE TIME GO????
Easton is growing by leaps and bounds these days. He is now taking a little more interest in toys. I am not sure he always knows how he got something in his hand or how he got it to his mouth but he seems to enjoy it when it is there. (To be completely honest though... I put this toy in his hand for the picture)
Easton is still not sleeping in his bed for naps! We try everyday but he just doesn't last very long in there. He really enjoys his cat naps. He cat naps in the swing and then just swings with his eyes open! He LOVES sleeping while laying on an adults chest! (Spoiled Baby) He runs hot and cold with his car seat too. He appears to REALLY hate it most of the time. Sometimes he manages to be a very good boy in it but while driving he is usually crying. I hope that as he gets older and starts to enjoy toys more he will start being a better car seat rider. He had his first real laugh on his 3 month birth date. As I predicted it was Helaina who made it happen. I really have no idea what she did that started the laugh but he continued to make laughs every time she laughed. As soon as Jim pulled his phone out of his pocket.... it all stopped! Of Course! Some memories are just best saved in ones head I guess. Easton is a pretty good eater at this point and a pretty easy burper. The burping part is all new for us because the girls were not good burpers! Easton spends most of his evenings resting on either Jim or myself. Jim thinks it is great because neither one of the girls really did that with him. I think it is funny when people say "oh wow, he is so long"! I just smile and say yes. What I am thinking is... have you seen my husband? He isn't exactly short and I am not as tall as Jim but I would not qualify as petite either! hehehehehehehe I think it would look more odd if our kids were short? Someone might start to suspect the UPS guy! (hehehehehehehehehe)
oh... and just for the sake of documentation.... Easton has been sleeping through the night and doing a VERY good job of it! I keep my fingers crossed every night that it continues. I feel so rested!
Can't wait to see what the next month will bring!

Can't wait to see what the next month brings.

Crayon Maker

I have tried to post these pics a dozen times! I hope it works this time. Jim helped the girls with their crayon maker. The first patch worked great! Clean up was not my favorite but all in all pretty cool.

Rough ride

You know it was a rough trip in your car seat when you manage to kick off not one but two pair of socks.

After Dinner

After dinner tonight helaina wanted to hold Easton. I think that arrangement worked out well for both of them. Breleigh doesn't usually ask to actually hold Easton but she is me never too far away. Tonight she was talking on her magnifying glass. Silly kids!

Love that dimple

I love that dimple! Just had to share

Church

What an awesome Saturday! We ran errands in the afternoon and since we were still in town when it was time for church we decided to try our first Saturday night service. It was great. The girls enjoyed Sunday school and Easton slept through the singing and then slept in arms for the service. Then we did dinner and ice cream! Yum!

Our diva

A little Lemonade Mouth after lunch!

Outside!!!

Easton is finally able to feel a little air on his cheeks! Wasn't a huge fan of the stroller but sure didn't mind being held! Can't say it bothered me too much...he was warm! The girls very much enjoyed some fresh air!

Easton the Living Doll

Happy Valentine's Day

The girls Valentine Lunch!

Helaina and her spaghetti and meatballs- to celebrate watching "Lady and the Tramp"
and don't forget Breleigh!
You've heard of McDreamy and Mc Steamy but have you heard of Mc Stud? hehehehehehe (the girls gift to Jim)
Easton and his Valentine!
"Girls will expect romantic gestures one day?" "What?"
Easton has the BEST pout ever!!!!!
Three of my favorite Valentines!!!!!
Our Lady and the Tramp Dinner!
We had a VERY nice day today! We gave the girls "Lady and the Tramp" as a Valentine and that inspired me to make this dinner! When Jim came home he asked me where I found the meatballs. Helloooo... I made them! Seriously... I can make a meatball! I thought they were very yummy and a little different than the usual meat sauce that we have.
I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's Day with their loved ones.
Jim reminded me tonight that we have celebrated 20 Valentine's Days together and have now known each other over half our lives. So weird and wonderful at the same time. A lot has changed since our first Valentine's Day and it has had it's ups and downs but so so worth it.
I am looking forward to St. Patrick's Day so I can come up with more things to dye green!

Magic Potty

My girls HATE those "magic potties" that spray your buns when they flush before you are done. Actually, come to think of it, so do I. To remedy this I carry post it notes in my purse. They stick right over the sensor and no one gets wet buns! I just had to share!

Morning Shower

OH MY GOSH!!!!! I was actually able to shower in the morning BEFORE the kiddies were awake. I have been showering at night and really.... it was like one more thing that I had to get done! I like TV way too much to HAVE to shower at night! hehehehehehe
Easton has been doing a pretty good job of sleeping in a little bit in the morning so I took a chance this a.m and jumped in the shower! The kids were supportive because the girls were quiet until 8:00 and Easton didn't get up until 9:00!!!! So AWESOME!!!!! Will this happen again? (The morning shower, not the shower all together) I don't know but I sure enjoyed it today!!!!
Sorry.... no picture for this post... if I did that I would really have to apologize. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT!!!

My friends

These three lovely ladies keep me sane! Love them!

Sibling love

Easton loves his big sister!
