Thank you for visiting! If you're new here, or one of my house of rose blogspot followers, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or sign up to my email subscription.
Don’t be confused.
If it looks like P is trying to choke the elf in this picture you are seriously mistaken.
I’m pretty sure he was only trying to give him a “sqweezzze”. A loving one.
This elf is Sofie. Sofie is our elf from “Elf on the Shelf”.
No I did not choose the name.
P did.
Where he came up with Sofie for an elf’s name is beyond me.
*Side note: Yes I do realize that this post is about a Christmas elf. And yes I do realize that it is nearly March. Forgive me.
But P STILL finds the need to talk about Sofie.
He says he ‘misses him’. And yes. Apparently Sofie is a boys name to him?
You can see the bond they had was very deep…
And even though I have told P OVER AND OVER that Sofie had to fly back to the North Pole to be with Santa…not a week goes by that he doesn’t question me about where Sofie is.
He misses his buddy. But, fortunately, all I have to do is mention that CG needs his attention and it seems to make him forget Sofie for a few days.
Until he remembers…and then again…I get 20 questions.
I love 2 year olds and their inability to really comprehend much.

Except how do I choose a favorite?
Really.
It’s nearly impossible.
Jason did an amazing job!
I wanted to actually post some of the pics just in case you didn’t get a chance to watch the video.
Love love love that we got a family pic. Even the dog behaved for this pic.
And my ALL TIME FAVORITE….
…what a classic picture heh? Love it!
Thanks again Jason York Photography! You never disappoint!

You are ALL invited to come celebrate my birthday with me! My super sweet hubby is throwing me a party on Friday, February 19th at Stadium Grille…5:00 PM.
No formal invites were sent. Just word of mouth, facebook, and email.
So please…if you can at least stop by PLEASE DO!
P Man is pretty excited. He will do anything for cake. Including wearing some silly birthday glasses.

I have a little piggy on my hands. Seriously. Does this child look like a newborn?
He is getting HUGE! He is eating 5 ounces every 2.5 hours!
At this rate…he’ll be on the fast track to obesity.
Especially if ALL he’s gonna do between feedings is SLEEP!
Although I must admit…this is quite a comfy place to sleep…over looking the pond.
Daddy will have him doing crossfit before he’s FIVE if he keeps this eating pattern up. haha!
P, on the other hand, could care less about eating.
Well.
Unless it’s chocolate of course.
He is WAYYYY more interested in his new playroom.
I think he finds it strange that mommy doesn’t get mad when he has all his toys out.
And it’s true. I don’t.
It doesn’t even bother me when the room is a mess because that’s what it’s for!
OHHHH how much I love the new house!
I swear, I will get some pics up soon. Every time I go to take pics of the house I get side tracked by my two cute boys and start snapping pics of them. OOPS!

I can’t take all the credit for unpacking and organizing my house. I had a little help from my lovely friends Katie, Jenny, and Nina! BIG HUGE HUGS to you girls for all of your help! (And Nick too-Katie’s hubby)!
Of course I have to give a HUGE thanks to my parents too! I think my dad had all of our flat screen tv’s hung the same night we moved in. And if it weren’t for Gigi watching the boys…this mama would have gotten absolutely NOTHING accomplished!
I LOVE my family and friends!

Besides help mommy pack.
Which as you can see was not all that helpful. But somehow P found a way to make it a game.
More importantly… what’s a boy to do with all this hardwood floor?
P has found his favorite thing to do with it.

…OF THIS
…in the new house.
I’m being pretty anal about trying to keep things clean.
Sorry P.
You will have to eat your spaghetti with a fork from now on.
Did I mention our new little man is growing like a weed?
He kinda has an attitude too.
Hmmm. Wonder where he gets that from?
This is his “bad attitude” look. 
I’m just glad he isn’t using the middle finger here.

We have officially moved and we have been without internet for WAY TOO LONG.
Finally today…we are reconnected.
I’ve been busy unpacking and organizing like a crazy woman. Right now I am home with both boys so I am making this short.
I plan to blog tonight. I can’t wait to share pics of the new house.
By they way. You know how much I like to use the exclamation point in my blogs…well…it’s not working on my keyboard right now.
Errr. O-well…at least I have internet.
WARNING: I may be NON existent on the blog this week. WE ARE OFFICIALLY MOVING ON SATURDAY (insert SCREAMMMMMMMMM)!
In my spare time (haha), I’ve been trying to pack up this house.
It’s a good thing that Gigi and P are such good buddies…because she has been entertaining him while I keep busy with house stuff.
And really…if it weren’t for her…he wouldn’t have gotten to play in the snow.
As you can see….
…he was having quite the time throwing snowballs at gigi.
Munchkin has been doing more of the same….you know…SLEEPING, POOPING, AND EATING.
But mostly pooping.
Oh. And some stretching.
Can someone wake me when it’s March…and my house is moved and organized?
