Just a peek..

Here is the official sneak peek into Ezra's 'big boy room'.

The theme is cowboy.
The deals are good.
& the room is undergoing a transformation.


Cute little sign Ali and Peggy discovered for me from Hobby Lobby. $14.99 - on sale for $7.99.

Now THIS is too cute, right?! Ali and Zach MADE this for Ezra for his birthday. SO creative! All items were purchased at Hobby Lobby. I plan to to hang it above his bed.

Great lamp from Target. $30.00 - on sale for $14.99.

We've got paint up, furniture in .. we're almost done.. but I don't want to post the final pictures until I've purchased a few more necessary decorative items. But so far.. we. love. it. Ezra too.

Party time

Today we had a small party for Ezra. He had a great time and loved his presents (and smearing cake all over his face.. that one was my fault though- I may have encouraged it a bit.) This little boy is loved!! At least the pictures are exciting because I can't think of too much to say.
Happy Birthday to my boy.

Ezra's 2!

Today was Ezra's 2nd birthday! I can't believe how old he is already. We had an awesome day. We treated ourselves to some McDonald's lunch and then played at the Monkey's Treehouse with Mom, Jenna and Ali. When Tony got off work we wanted to take Ez out for ice cream.. but once he caught sight of the playspace at McDonald's (yes.. our second trip today.. don't judge).. he was off. We're having a small party for him Sunday afternoon. Today was a great day!

My Avocado--

Thebump.com says--

Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.

I say--

I'm feeling pretty good! I'm still tired and by the end of the day my legs are super tired and achy but I guess that's to be expected during pregnancy. July 10th is the big day when we find out what we're having!! It's so exciting.. and SO soon! I think I may have felt fluttering but no sure movement yet. I'm so excited to be able to feel all the rolling and kicking that is soon to come! This pregnancy is really flying by for me.

Bossy britches

OK-- Ezra has just become a little BOSS. I'm thinking he's going to be bossing his little sibling like crazy if I don't tame him. I guess he takes after me. My Mom always said I bossed Jenna (my little sister) like I was her 2nd Mother. Well it's just so STINKIN' cute at this age. Yesterday when I took a bite off of my ALMOST 2 year old's plate he said "No, eat YOURS." Then when we were doing night time prayers I sat in a different spot than usual. He points and he says "No Mommy, sit over there!" He's also a big fan of waving his little finger at you and saying "No No No" if you're doing something he's not OK with. It's just so funny to see your little baby's personality and temperament develop. And don't you worry.. he will most definitely not be the boss of this house.

LIFE.

Wow.. I guess we've been pretty busy, and I've been a huge slacker with my blog. So.. what have we been up to?

A BBQ

We had an awesome bbq last weekend. Here is Ezra and his little friend Maya. They had a GREAT time playing with the water playground and water table. Gifts from Ali & Zach and Peggy. Then my little boy chased fireflies way past his bedtime. I LOVE Tennessee!!!


OH.. and our big summer project was FENCING IN OUR BACKYARD! I have better pics.. but you can see it in this picture. It is wonderful and makes playing in the yard so much fun! THANKS to everyone who helped build the fence. It looks wonderful!

Our Happy Father's Day!!
My Aunt and Uncle treated allll of us to The Rainforest Cafe as Ezra's birthday present. It was an amazing hit! Ezra LOVED it. He loved the elephants, monkeys, thunder and lightening storms. It was just such a great day. A BIG thank you Aunt Jeanne and Uncle George.. and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to Aunt Jeanne.

Then we came home and the boys had the best play and cuddle time. Tony is such a GREAT Dad!

Here is Ezra sporting his 'pillow case sleeping bag.' Haha.

SO as you can see.. we are alive and well!!

An Amazing God.

Right now God is knitting my baby together in my womb. He is sooooo incredibly amazing! Listen to what TheBump.com says my baby is up to this week!!


Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.

Wow- So exciting!
