California!

For two months we haven't done much or gone anywhere.  I don't like to take my new babies out much before they are 2 months.  Boy, that last week was rough!  I was anxiously awaiting our California trip to the beach.  The day he got his shots, we left for our trip to San Diego with Kevin's family.

Frankie was a complete angel the whole way!

I didn't have to fuss with him once the whole drive for two days!  He just slept.  I had to wake him to eat.

MaryJane's favorite song is All The Single Ladies 

(she picked it up from Alvin and the Chipmunks)

She sang it at the top of her lungs in the car ride.  

..."wa oh oh oh oh oh, wa oh oh oh oh oh oh"

We had a pit stop in Vegas.  My kids were so excited to stay in a hotel! 

Sadie was VERY dissapointed to learn that the maids don't fan you and wait on your every need.

We got a little swimming in before we left.

Nevada was HOT! YUCKY HOT!

Loved watching Cole work on his dive. Ha.

Watching the Airplanes fly above us.

Sadly, we left MaryJane's lovey behind at the hotel.  I cried when I realized we didn't have it while passing Prim.  I almost love that thing as much as she does!  It comforts her so much.  She'll fall asleep anywhere with that thing!  I can't even begin to explain how much that blankie soothes and calms her!  How could I do a week trip without it?  

She cried herself to sleep the first night.

(while I was gone getting groceries. I would have rocked her had I been there) :(

Thanks to Fed Ex, I paid 20 bucks to have it shipped to us the next day!  

Worth it's weight in GOLD!!

Here she is at the pool in San Diego.  

So happy to be reunited!

2 months

Frankie is now two months old!  I can't believe it!  

I just love him so much!!

Weighing a whopping 8lbs 14 oz

I can't stop kissing his creamy white soft squishy cheeks!

His muscle tone is really good!  Strong arms and legs.  His head is still floppy though.  It might take awhile for him to learn to hold his head up on his own.  I'm so thankful his health has been so good!  I have felt so blessed!  I've enjoyed everyday of this little boys life!  I can't believe he's mine!

Ouch!

A few weeks ago, Cole had been fevering for 5 days.  So I took him in to be seen and on the way to the doctor he slammed his finger in the door.  It hurt him pretty bad.  I haven't seen him cry like that in awhile.  Poor thing.  It hurt him SO bad!  Good thing we were headed to the Dr.  

He cleaned it and sealed it back together with glue.  

Thankfully, Oreo shakes made both our pain go away quickly. ;)

What?  It hurt me to see him in that much pain!

Cole is faking here.

Quite the bandage for a small cut.  

The nurse said to leave it on for two days to protect the wound from getting bumped and bleeding.

Right,  It lasted all of 20 minutes. 

Love you Cole, to cute with your Lego watch. 

My Birthday!

I can't believe how backed up I am on blogging!

Last month I celebrated my 32nd birthday!  

Kev bought me the BEST cake!!!!!

A chocolate peanut butter ice cream cake from Cold Stone.

Usually I request one from Baskin Robbins but sorry BR,  I can't go back!  This cake is delicious!

For years I've been wanting to paint my front room Silver Sage from Restoration Hardware but just haven't done it.  So I asked my Dad if he would do it for my birthday present.  Sometimes it looks blue, green or grey.   I just love it!   Thanks Dad!

Here are some before and afters...

What do you think?  I can't explain how much I love it!  Now I just need to sew some fun bright pillows, add new curtains, a new rug and get rid of the accessories that don't match.
I don't see any of that happening real soon. 

It's amazing what paint can do.
