First off, I just want to say that we woke up this morning to 2 landscaping trucks in front of our house! I know your probably wondering why that excites the h*** out of us, but if you could see the mud surrounding our pool...you would be jumping for joy too! Justin from Cedar Hill Landscape Design

I apologize for not picking my Tiny Prints giveaway winner earlier. I honestly COMPLETELY forgot about it since I have been a little consumed with poopy diapers and breast milk. However, I am happy to say, that I have finally got a winner! I did the random.org number generator and the winner

  I guess you could categorize the sleepy phase in 2 ways. 1. Newborns sleep A LOT! (thank goodness) 2. They don't like to sleep A LOT at night. (not thank goodness) Seriously, Sloane is just the sweetest and so so easy (so far). He really just hangs out. Sleeps. Poops (A TON). And

Not much time to write. I am trying to sneak in a quick post while Bents is napping, but just my luck, he is standing in his crib now yelling "mama!" Looks like duty calls. Sloane is doing so well! He's been doing a lot of this.... I forget how much newborns sleep. During the day. Ahem. Today I

I am hoping this is my last week (hopefully days) of pregnancy.  My friend Tonya took this picture last night when she was over for small group. By the way, if you haven't been to her blog, you should check out some of her DIY stuff! She is pretty darn crafty! If it looks like I am grabbing my

I am super excited about how little Mr. Sloane's room is turning out. Although it is not 100% finished (and may never be), it is pretty darn close so I thought I would share some pictures! This is the view from when you walk in to the room.    I had bought a dresser off Craigslist for Bents

I never got to post my pics from Easter. Yea, been a little behind, heh? P Man had a great time coloring eggs with Gigi. I am glad she loves to do these kinds of things because the messiness of Easter egg coloring....stresses me out a little. I know. I'm no fun. But, with Gigi in control, all I

I know you all think you have the best momma around. But, honestly, you must have not met my mom because I am pretty sure that I, BY FAR, have the best MOTHER a girl could ask for. She is pretty darn amazing!  Not to mention, still as hot as she was back when I was a wee-one. And, honestly, if

  THIRTY SIX WEEKS! WOO-HOO!!!!!!! I had my doctor appointment on Tuesday and I was dilated to 1.5 cm and my cervix was "soft". Baby Sloane's head was VERY low! That explains why I feel like I have a heartbeat in my vagina when he gets the hiccups. Logical. I know that being dilated can really

   Somehow we have avoided the ER for the last four years. Until today. Although I am not surprised that Bents was the first of the two boys to take a visit. He is, afterall, our wild man! Apparently he fell this morning at my mom's and hit is head on the corner of the doorway. I am almost

To say that these two boys of mine have been "unruly" today...is quite an understatement. Someone gave them wild pills and  I assure you it wasn't me. Although, I do confess to giving them both chocolate granola bars. Does that count? Remind me to NEVER do that again. Ever. Not only does it make
