Have you ever seen a kid destroy a cake like this? This was in my living room. And it was EVERYWHERE...including all over the wall. But, apparently, he was having a good time. And floors and walls are easily cleanable. :) I can NOT wait to see the professional pics that Jason York got of this cake

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY BENTS!

It's 1-11-11! Which means Bents is ONE! Ironically enough, he was born at 11:12 am. A minute shy! Right after he was born, I asked the nurse if she would fudge the time and make it 11:11 am, but she wouldn't. Darn. So I guess turning 1 on 1-11-11 will be cool enough! This year has FLOWN by! I

I can hardly believe that on 1-11-11 my little man is going to be 1! Not to mention I love the irony of all the 1's. :) I have had a lot of questions from friends and family about "what to get him". Especially since it was just Christmas and him and P have just about everything known to man! I

As you all know: 1. I love organization. Like L-O-V-E-I-T!  Almost as much as I love fountain soda. 2. I have an amazing DAD that can create just about anything I have in mind. Over the last week, I had him working on my "laundry room project".  I have been wanting to get organized in my laundry

  Bathtime with the boys. Always a highlight of their day. These pictures were taken when we were in Vegas. I just love how happy they both look here. I just can't believe how grown up they are getting. I kinda love these smiles. I must have been doing something really funny to get this good of

Is it 2011 and I am just now recapping Christmas? Well, yes, yes it is. But...for documentation sake (and if my hubby decides to have House of Rose 2010 printed in a book like he did 2008 and 2009) I MUST recap our best Christmas yet! I knew THREE was going to be a fun age for Christmas...but

As much as I do not want to start the belly pics...they have been requested by many...so here they come. :) Please ignore the lovely and beautiful background I call a closet. It's just what you get folks. Sorry. I honestly can not believe that I let myself get to 18 weeks without taking a single

  I had never heard of "reindeer food" until this year. He got it at pre-k. The bag says... "Sprinkle on the lawn at night The moon will make it sparkle bright Santa's reindeer fly and roam This will guide them to your home" Such a cute idea! P Man had a great time with it! Especially in all

I realize that I have not recapped Christmas. Nor have I recapped Vegas. I am behind. WAY behind. I thought with all the picture choices (from my husband-aka the paparazzi) it would be easy to drop in some pics and call it a day. But...really...when you have 500 + pictures to go through, it makes

We're all a little crazy around here from the Christmas rush. As I am sure you are as well. Spending the day taking down the decorations and trying to get my house to look normal again. The amount of toys that we added to the playroom makes me almost have an anxiety attack (Type A, remember?). I

Just when our little P Man decided to start to get better;  mommy, daddy, and Bents ALL got sick. It has been a long 2 weeks for our family. Bents is actually still sick! I thought he was better on Saturday, but sure enough, Sunday he puked EVERYWHERE. I think my washer and dryer might quite

...this cute smiley face! Six long days of P Man being sick has made me so sad. And a little crazy. He had it all...fever, cough, high temperature, stuffy nose, vomiting (LOTS of vomiting), lethargic, no appetite...you name it, he had it. After a visit to urgent care yesterday (in the snow) it
