To My Future Daughters in Law...

You should just start to thank me now.  I have set the bar amazingly low for you. 

These boys are easily tricked into eating and enjoying almost anything I put in front of them. 

They think homemade spaghetti sauce takes days to make and a hot dogs and mac n cheese is gourmet.

They love to hear me sing to them even though I'm pretty sure I can hear the glass breaking through out the house.

I'm the most beautiful woman they've ever seen, especially when I've just woken up and not had my coffee.

They think my "circles" are HUGE!! haha!

So, my future daughters in law love, start to count your blessings right now.  No matter what you do these boys are going to worship the ground you walk on just for loving them!  I don't ever want to hear those terrible mother in law stories coming from you!!

Better Late than Never...

We had a blast for Halloween.  I had the boys so I got to enjoy all the sweet silliness.  We wanted to go to a Harvest Festival but Matt got electrocuted that's another story-haha so that didn't happen.  The kids and I went to my dad's house for an AMAZING BBQ and then trick or treating.  They were so excited about their costumes.

Brayden was Woody

Landon was Buzz Light Year

Kylan was Thing One

Yes, he's rocking his goodmama ONE diaper.

How cute are my boys??

I don't even have to ask about this one but I will post a brag picture of the most ADORABLE baby on the planet!

Our Family "Pet" continued....

As I mentioned earlier this week we have a "guest" in our home.

I know you're thinking "Oh my Stars!  There's a lizard in your house!!"  You're wrong.  It is in fact a gecko.  Yes, a living and breathing gecko although he's never entertained us with any of his quirky commercials.  He snuck into our home about a year ago when I was keeping Ethan.  No, he isn't gone yet and not for lack of effort...trust me!  That little booger is FAST!   

While some might think having a gecko living with them would be a nuisance he's been a bit helpful.  Those tiny black sugar ants suddenly disappeared as well as any other pesky bug.  Don't get me wrong, I would love for our friend to take a speedy exit back to his natural environment.  I am a bit concerned that he's now unable to survive out in the wild since he's so accustomed to being "fed" I'll still take that chance.  So we've come to an understanding that as long as he or she never comes into the bedrooms then we will remain a gecko loving family.

I know it does look just like a normal lizard judging by the first picture but there's a few more that shows off his translucent skin.  Its very creepy.  I'm thankful that Gecko only likes to come out when we aren't home and probably when we're sleeping.

This one was mid-run...notice how he's raised off the wall.  UGH it makes my skin scrawl!!

I'm scared to go near my dining room window because of this!!

Our Family "Pet"

This is a preview to my PSF for the week.  This may or may not be what you think.  The story is interesting and I may even add a fun poll into the mix. 

Cloth Diaper Swap

Recently I participated in a cloth diaper swap that I found out about through the weekly #clothdiapers chat on twitter.  It was so much fun to shop for someone else and pass along some of my own favorite products like certain inserts, detergents, etc.  Well, wouldn't you know it that I got my swap package today!  As soon as I picked up the box I could smell the yummy goodness oozing out.  And what was the yummy smell? 

Stain remover of course!

The fun didn't stop there.  There was fleece board shorts, of course a super cute pocket diaper, AND some wipes!!

The board shorts

(why its showing sideways is beyond me)

Diaper from WildChildforBabies, yes those are adorable VW Bugs on it!!

(again the sideways is driving me batty)

And last but certainly not least, are the wipes!

I know you're thinking two things right now.  First, that you can't stand the cuteness of it all!  That's okay because I can't either!!  Second, you're thinking you had the best swap partner but I'll have to be the bearer of bad news to tell you that you couldn't be further from the truth because clearly I did! 

Thanks Nicole for the awesome diaper package!! 

And thanks to Megan for hosting such a fun swap!!

5 Months Old (yesterday)

I just can't believe how fast the time is going by.  Seems like only yesterday I was timing my contractions and now Kylan has become his own little person with the sweetest disposition and silly personality.  I could go on and on how much I adore this kiddo!

For now, he's still only rolling over when he feels like it but prefers it when you just give him that extra little push.

He's not too fond of his swing anymore he tries to roll out the side, thank goodness for seat belts.

He's started regressing in how well he sleeps at night time and wants to wake up for an extra feeding so I've decided to try him out on some solids.  He's not great with the spoon so I've tried to give it to him in  a bottle from now on at bed time for a "dinner bottle".

sweet potato face, isn't he cute?

I have noticed that he doesn't seem to like the exersaucer very much but he LOVES the jumperoo.

(insert adorable jumperoo picture here)

That's where Kylan's life is at this point.  He is attempting to get his fat belly off the floor now with little to no success but it sure is fun to watch.  He's nowhere close to sitting up unassisted or truly being mobile.  He's just loving life laying around and being fully entertained by me the brothers.
