Pushing Through

Sometimes Lane tries to be like his big brother and push through the day with out a nap. 

 And some days he just can't quite make it.

This is something I don't want to forget about Lane. He insists when he is laying down or rocking with us in the chair that his blue blanket must cover his feet and they must be tucked in, and his green blanket is used to cover his body and for snuggling. He is very particular about it and it has to be done correctly before he will sleep or drink his milk. I love it!

Double Wide

I love these giant feet. These are Zackary's double wides. I'm serious, the only place I can buy him shoes that actually fit well is at Stride Rite and in double wide. We have always thought they where like little bricks. 

I love them!

Dirt'n'rocks

This picture was taken right next to our back door. It was not set up, posed, or planned. This is pretty much what our back patio looks like everyday, despite my multiple attempts at sweeping. Today I walked out the door to find this pile that obviously a little Cat Loader dumped right in front of the door. Can I tell you how crazy this makes me. I know the boys are just having a great time digging in the dirt but seriously I can't take walking over the little rocks on the concrete and them having them tracked through our entire house. But let me tell you...all this is coming to and end come next Thursday. We are finally having pavers installed where all the little rocks are right now. They served their purpose and more over the last couple of years, but we finally are going to splurge and finish the back yard.

I CAN'T WAIT!

Here are some additional pictures that make me somewhat crazy. Large rocks mixed with the little rocks, well and a shattered pot with ashes everywhere from boys (big and little) having loads of fun!

Poor Otis

Today Otis had dental surgery. Cleaning and a couple of extractions under anesthesia. He just looks so sad. His little leg was shaved for his IV and he is moping around. We are giving him pain medication, but it is sad to see him without is normal personality. Hopefully it will return in the morning.

Delish 4/365

This might be my all time favorite ice cream. Cake batter with cookie dough from Cold Stone. So sweet and delish. This was the other part of my nutritious dinner tonight. Frosted Mini Wheats with ice cream for dessert. The baby likes it!

24 Weeks

24 weeks today! This pregnancy is sure going by fast. Probably because I'm so busy chasing 2 sweet boys around. I really enjoy being pregnant. I feel really good despite a little back pain and tons of pressure. I can manage it though. We still haven't decided on a name but we now have a short list. Everything is going great, she is growing as expected and moving a ton. It is still such different movements than the boys, still the rolling and tumbling vs. swift kicks. We have a lot to do to get ready, we pulled out all the bedding we purchased for our girl that was really a boy! I still love it, I just have to come up with how to decorate the room. I think I want to go really girly, classy girly. It's time to do some research on that. I need to get a bed for Lane and move him into Zackary's room. That is going to be a fun project. I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle, but it needs to be done soon. I can't wait to meet our sweet Baby Sissy.

Here is a dear friend of ours. As Aaron randomly said this morning "we go through Bisquick like it's going out of style." That statement truly says it all. Thanks Bisquick for being so delicious.
