My clothespin bag

I know it isn't a difficult project I was just proud of myself for finally doing it. Oh and that I did it without any patter or pictures or anything to go by. Oh and that I re purposed a stained tablecloth in order to make it. It only took about 30 minutes, including finding the tablecloth to make it out of. Yeah me!!!

Happy Birthday Kyle!

Today was Kyle's 4th birthday, so we spent the afternoon at his party.

There was cake.........


.......and a pinata. All of the kids got to take a few whacks at it, in order of age from the youngest.

Jacob
Lily
Ryan
Kyle
Then we gathered the peanuts and candy.
Jacob and Lily took a drive in Kyle's jeep.
Jacob floated in the pool with Poppa John........
......and rode Lily's rocking pony. A good time was had by all.

Happy 1/2 Birthday Isaak!!

Isaak is 6 months old today! I can't believe how fast it is going by. He is rolling all over the place and "talks" all day long. He is a very content little boy and loves watching his big brother and seems to be taking it all in and storing it up for later.





Watch out world here he comes!!!
Ooohhhh and did you check out the drool??? I thought he was getting his top teeth to go with the bottom ones but he has been drooling like this for over a month now! Can you say soggy, soggy, soggy!!!!

Isaak speaks

Now I just have to teach him the meaning of traitor, since he decided to consistently say Dada before Mama I think that will be his new name. hehehe I mean seriously what kind of kid says Dada first????

Bigger boxes please!

I was going to pack up the boys and send them to Papa and Nonna, but the boxes were too small! I guess we will have to try again later with some bigger boxes.

$2 pajama's

I would like to say that Isaak's big grins are because he is as excited as his Mommy about the $2 pajamas that he has on , but somehow I don't think that is actually what it is. He is just a smiley baby, and I love it. Anybody that knows me knows I also love a great deal. And anybody who has purchased infant pj's in the recent past knows that you can hardly ever find them for less than $5 to $7 so when I found cute Nike ones for $2 last time I went to Mervyn's I about did backflips. (Not really.... I haven't been able to do a back flip in years.) I seriously doubt that my love of clearance shopping will pass on to my boys, but I am trying!!!

Jacob's Monkey

This is Jacob's new monkey. His name is "Monmey" and he has been a very good friend.


He gives great big hugs!

He tries to provide protection from Daddy the "Tickle Monster".
He even helps to entertain Isaak.
Jacob even shares him with Isaak sometimes.....
..........but not for very long.
Let's not get too crazy now!! "Monmey" has even gone to lunch at El Nuevo with us. But I didn't have the camera there for that.
