Bath time

We finally started putting the boys in the bathtub together, and they are so cute! They both splash and laugh a lot.

Nap Time

Tommy was feeling tired so he made himself a little bed, it looked like one of the most uncomfortable possible places to me, but he seemed to like it, he stayed there for nearly 20 minutes.

Emily's 27 Birthday

I turned 27 last week, and have spent the last little while trying to convince myself that I am not a lame boring mother of two (hence my model pic). It actually turned out to be one of my favorite birthdays ever! Jesse made me a chocolate cake and we ALL - even Sammy - enjoyed it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Then I went to MamaMia with Cheryl and Ashley - and it was so AWESOME! Meanwhile at home Jesse fixed my computer and cleaned behind the fridge and the stove. How lucky can one girl get?

Tommy and Jordan Wilde

Spring Fever

I realize that this is a lame post, but I am so excited to see blossoms! - at my own house! Since we moved in in the fall last year, I had no idea what a lot of the bushes would flower like - and I am pleasantly suprised. I already have a few flowers - as you can see, and can not wait for my apple tree to blossom!

Disaster control

These past few weeks have been interesting to say the least. First of all, I am attempting to potty train him, so that means I wash a lot of mini underwear and review the yuckiness of pee and poo on the floor 5-10 times/day. Not to mention the extreme yuckiness of poo smooshed into the carpet with a tonka dump-truck.

Then, one morning a couple weeks ago I opened his door to discover waves of toxic fumes filling the room. He had melted 5 little plastic cars into his heater, and most likely destroyed billions of brain cells along with it, but what can you do?

Then, as you can see, he covered the bathroom in band-aids and soap- the smell of kiwi lime now makes me shudder.

All of this along with the fact that he is a maniac and climbs then jumps off of everything (notice picture number 3), and generally has more energy than any kid I've met so far.

Having said it all, he is still a sweetie, and cracks me up with all the new things he is learning to say and sing and do. So, Tommy, when you are old enough and read this just know that you are making me crazy, but its all worth it for you.

Sammy is the man

I honestly have no idea when my little angel turned into a gangster, but when I saw this picture there was no denying it. He is wearing the double hoodie and sunglasses so he could come outside while I did yardwork, but I didn't pose him or anything - he is just that hard core.


Along with his new look Sammy has added his ability to crawl! And he is following in his big brother's footsteps by immediately wanting to climb everything in sight. aaaaaaagggghhhh! why me?! The stairs are generally his ultimate goal, but he will settle for climbing the fireplace, buckets, stools, people, pretty much whatever is available.
