One of those ... days !

cute.


As I said in my previous post.. Ezra has an ear infection.. and lets just say it's been a ROUGH few days.
Due to the extreme lack of sleep, I was a mess yesterday. A MESS people.
Grumpy, angry mean. I lost it.
Today started the same way, but I decided to not let the way my body feels determine my attitude. So I tried to stay as positive and kind as possible.
My family could use your prayers of healing and SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP!

Children... what is UP with them?!

Little Ez has an ear infection. He's had his times where he's felt terrible... but all I'm trying to ask you is what is with the energy these children have when they're sick?! If I was in his condition I wouldn't leave the couch. He's been up feeling yucky at least 3 times, the past 2 nights.. and now he isn't going down for his nap. Sleep you child. For the sake of your mother. Perhaps God is trying to prepare me for a newborn.

He is feeling better and that makes me happy. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Baby shower!

My baby shower was on Saturday!
It was so much fun.. my mom, Ali and Jenna did a great job hosting it. It was at the cabana at Ali's apartments and it was just beautiful. The games were fun, the food was delicious, and I'm so glad we got to celebrate this little baby. One sweet thing my mom planned was to have each guest decorate a square that will be sewn into a quilt for the baby.



Here I am about to take me and the baby off in flight with this big bouquet of balloons.

Jenna sandwiched between two preggos. Haha.

The girls at the craft table.

We had lots of fun and I want to thank the three of them for doing such an amazing job. I was spoiled!! At the end of the night we had to figure out what to do with the two balloon bouquets.. I took one home for Ezra and made a wish for my baby and let the other go flying into the dark night sky. (My moms idea.. hehe) Loved it!

PS- No idea WHY my font is underlined at the top?!

A SHOWER is coming!

My baby shower starts in an hour and 15 minutes! I'm so excited!

the NAME game

As many of you know we've had a tough time deciding on a name this time around. We've got a handful that we like.. and we figure when we do decide, we are going to wait to announce it until he is here.. which won't be more than 6 weeks! Smile!
My husband has made the bold prediction that I will have him on November 28th. All I have to say is thank goodness that is AFTER Thanksgiving. MMM. I am SO looking forward to stuffing myself. I just LOVE Thanksgiving food!

Yum Yum!

A package came for my BOYS!!

My Aunt has been hard at work quilting for my boys. The plan was to make the new baby a quilt. Of coarse she was too thoughtful and made Ezra a coordinating one .. and a cute little bag that came packed with a book and matchbox cars. I am in love with these quilts. I love the colors used and the ADORABLE fabric!! My favorite fabric of all of them is the vintage one in the top right corner of this blanket. Love it!

Have I mentioned that I just NEED to learn to sew?!
Thank you so much Aunt Elaine for all of your HARD work!!!

Halloween 2009

We had a great Halloween. Ezra was of coarse a dinosaur.
The cutest one I've ever seen!
He was so interested in trick or treating with all the other kids in the neighborhood.. AND he started walking in to one lady's house. Haha. We went to a couple of houses in our neighborhood, but mostly all around my mom's.
What a cute kid. Wow- this was his last Halloween flying solo.. next year he'll have an 11 month old brother with him!

It got pretty cold and we decided to come in. I had been wanting carrot cake.. and had super cute Halloween cookie cutters..
so I decided we'd use them on the cake!

Haha. It was fun.. they were nothing to look at.. but they tasted SO DELICIOUS
and it was cute doing it with my boy.

And as icing on the cake..
here is a picture of baby's 1st Halloween!

HAHAHAHA. I know.. I know.. I'm CRAZY!
