Love and Randomness

Well, my Mom left on Tuesday and the kids are sad. We miss you already Mom!!! and Happy (belated) Birthday to my Dad. He turned a young 71 yesterday. :) I also wanted to give a shout out to my sister Erin. Her hubby comes home today from Iraq. YEAH!!! Welcome Home Caleb!! We Love You!!!!

So whats been going on with us... not a whole lot. Chris installed new can lights in our living room because the builders of our neighborhood figured we didn't need light in our front rooms... literally there is not a house on this block (that I've been in) with overhead lighting in their front room. Stupid.
We had our ward playgroup over here yesterday. Fun, Fun. I finished my laundry this morning and put it away, reorganized my husbands shirts, filed our taxes, filled out Eli's kindergarten forms (sob!) and we're supposed to get new insulation put in this afternoon. That makes me SO happy. I'm hoping its going to help with our bills - but if not at least help with the ice on our roof. One can dream...

The boys are great. Nathan is walking just about everywhere now. He falls a lot, but is doing so well! Only 6 short weeks and he'll be in nursery! I finally turned him forward facing in his car seat. He seems to like it, but he never really complained either way - hence why I've waited a few more months than necessary. Now he just wants to be like his brother. Although his brother also wants him to grow up and be big like him... I guess its inevidable that Nathan will grow up too fast.
Here are my superheros...

And this picture was from a couple weeks ago. Nathan had been sick or something. I almost enjoy my kids being sick. They're so cuddly... :) but ugh - that picture doesn't even look like me. yikes!

And I think Eli took this picture. What a cute husband I got. Love you babe!

Sickness is FUN!

We're fine now, but over the weekend the kids had a bit of the runs. So much fun - let me tell you. Nathan with his red bottom that was so raw it was bleeding 1/2 the time... but I just set out the other 1/2 of a ream of diapers realizing that we went through about 75 diapers since Friday night. 4 days - 75 diapers. And yesterday hardly counts because he was already starting to get better. How much do diapers cost again...??? Well looks like I'll be headed to Costco this weekend. (sob)

Barbershop

An old friend from college is in Spin Magazine! How cool is that? Here is their article.

I haven't had too much experience with OC Times because back when I knew Sean he was in a different group called Trademark. Oh, those were the days - being a Trademark groupie. ;) I did see OC Times perform a few years ago at the annual Barbershop competition and let me tell you... it was insane!! There were screaming girls everywhere. LOL! But the article was pretty good and Sean is labeled as a heartthrob. That just made me laugh. Anyway, its fun to see him doing well for himself. As you're looking on stage he is the 2nd from the left with the dark brown hair (with the crazy facials).
