3/30/2010Ezra gets his first hair cut by someone other than family.

my ezra is ALL BOY & a HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to my girl SALI!

As I was in the kitchen preparing dinner today I thought "Isn't it funny how my son can turn a pretty pink mylar balloon attached to a string, into a fire-hose?" He had been running around the house for about half an hour coming up with different scenarios. "Wow he really is ALL boy!!" I thought. I seriously thought this. The next thing that ran across my mind must have been "That boy is really being way to quiet.. I better check on him." I called out for him and his reply was "I'm hiding here so you don't see what I have." He is a very honest boy. ;) People.. I find my son hiding behind our couch, in the fetal position with my mascara wand in his hand.

Oh Ezra!

Now let me explain. I was not okay with this.
however I knew I needed a picture.
so. I told him I was taking a picture so he could see what he looked like.
Tricky. I know.

So after looking at this make up smeared face.. I'm thinking after all.. maybe he is not ALL boy.

MOVING ON-
Happy Birthday
to my Bffer Sali Sennis!!!

How did this hot mama have a baby ONE MONTH ago?

We had our peeps over tonight for a little b-day party for this lovely lady! It was fun. We had Italian Sausage Soup, and (of coarse) funfetti cupcakes and ice cream for dessert. Yummy. Love you Ali! I hope you have a fantastic year!!

ONE TOKEN?!

We went to Chuck E. Cheese yesterday for a birthday party. I'm sorry.. I just love this photo booth .. by far the best way to spend one token!

a beautiful day at the park

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves

the photo credit for these awesome pictures goes to Zach Ennis

Yay! Finally found a great bumbo for sale on Craigslist. We got this one in great shape and it came with a tray for $20.

Oh and did I mention it works perfectly!?

Did somebody say Peanut Butter-Toffee Cheesecake Brownies?

You've got to try this recipe! I made this little treat yesterday and it was quiet delicious, if I do say so myself! It was easy and not extremely time consuming. In fact, if you weren't trying to keep up with an infant and a two year old.. you could whip it up much faster than I did! The only revision I made to the recipe is letting the cheesecake topped brownie cool in it's pan instead of on a cooling rack. I just couldn't get it out of the pan in one neat piece, so I left it alone. It is just as yummy as it looks. Perfect for every Peanut Butter & Chocolate lover out there.

3 months

KINGSLEY

He's growing like crazy. Becoming so interactive. He responds to our voices and facial expressions. He's got this sweet innocent look about him, he sort of tilts his head down and stares up at me. He is such a good and sweet boy. I'm adoring all of the smiles, giggles and noises. I love him with all of my heart!

what did the past month hold?

feb 24th- first night in crib
feb 27th- slept 945-515 (1st time through the night).
on a pretty good schedule.. eat-up-sleep repeat.
eats every 3hrs during day.
smiles at us.
march 5th- first giggle.
march 6th- left Tennessee for 1st time..went to Arkansas.
seems to be a mama's boy..no complaints here!
really found his thumb around march 10th.
I honestly think he may be teething.
LOVES his brother..so interested in him.

This boy

makes me SMILE!

Yesterday was AMAZING. It was so nice outside.. it even hit 70 degrees!
It reminded me that the warm weather is coming!

We had lunch outside at our patio table, ran around the backyard, cleaned up the patio, got so hot we had to take off our sweatshirts, watched Kingsley nap in the peaceful warm breeze, day dreamed about flowers to plant, & took a trip to the park.

Thank you for visiting Mr. Sun .. and for bringing your friend Mr. heat.
You make me very happy. Come again soon!!!

We took a little road trip to Little Rock, Arkansas.

This week end we...


drove in the car with two kids for about 14 hours- they both did GREAT..way better than I expected!!!

realized it's hard to pack for two children.. but learned to improvise when I forgot a few things.

encouraged Ezra to jump up and down on the hotel beds.

laughed when Ezra said the highlight of his trip was the continental breakfast.

made lots of stops at truck stops and gas stations. Eww.

put a size 5 diaper on Kingsley, who wears a size 1.

consumed lots of m&m's.

bought a car!

Hmm...who could those mystery people at the bottom of the picture be? ;)

It's a 2001 Toyota Mr2 Spyder.
It's got low miles and was a great deal!
We're super happy with our purchase and have no plans
to return to Arkansas anytime in the near future.

what have I been doing with my time?

-Hanging with new friends!
-Cuddling baby Paisley! She is too precious.
-Becoming re-addicted to Craigslist. (Good when I'm selling.. not when I'm buying!)
-Learning how to coupon on couponmom.com
-Trying to keep a tidy house by following tips from flylady.net. LOVE HER!!
-Loving my boys..all 3 of them.
-Totally looking forward to a week end in the 60's. The park is calling my name!
