Ya...He's alright I guess.

It took him a week before he wanted to hold him, now we will see how long before the beatings begin:) j/k

Baby Everett is Here!

Big boy Everett ...born 4:51 am Thursday morning. 9 lbs 3 oz ! 21 1/2 inches long!


Proud Papa

Remember when...

We are still here with not much to post about. I am just waiting for this baby to come. Fondly remembering a few of the little things in life that I took for granted in my pre-prego state.

Sleeping on my stomach
Tying my own shoes
Seeing my feet in the shower
Bending over to pick up a dropped object
Buttoning up a pair of jeans...well, sadly, I will have to dream a little longer for that one

Not much, but really wonderful things when you get to do them everyday! I will post again when anything exciting happens.

Gross!

BEFORE




AFTER

I know what you are all thinking, sick, I know. I promise I really do mop my floors. But I thought I would share this terrific concoction in case any of you have ever forgotten that your black grout actually is supposed to be white! Spray this stuff on and sprinkle baking soda on top and scrub it and vooooalllla!

This stuff is great...Non-Toxic, bio-degradable, and it cleans everything! It even got off permanent marker from toys and my kitchen counter top, thanks to a little artistic expression from Gavin. They have tons of products, I use the bath tub and tile cleaner and it makes me feel so much better sitting Gavin in the tub after I cleaned it with this instead of crazy cancer chemicals.

Ain't Life Grand...

I haven't blogged for quite some time, because quite frankly my life is very un-bloggable these days! I have spent the last week with a sick kid with 105 fever, doing absolutely nothing... well aside from about fifty episodes of Little Einsteins and Handy Manny, and mine and Gavin's nightly awakenings because he can't sleep and then needs a drink and then is sad, so then he comes in our bed and kicks me in the face all night long. My wardrobe consists of sweats, sweats and more sweats. I can't stand to squeeze my large belly into anything tight, because it makes me suddenly feel the urge to have a tantrum! (probably sounds weird) Ah...motherhood, pregnant in January, what more could a girl want :) Can't wait to have another one!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Gavin Checkin' out the LOOT from Santa. Lightning McQueen scooter was a major highlight, too bad we are sitting in 10 feet of snow, so he get's to cruise around the house for now.

Gretch chefing up some delightful dishes for our family Christmas Eve Feast!

It wouldn't be Christmas without the nativity story acted out in full costume! Gavin chose the part of shepard, (much to Addie's dismay because she wanted him to HOLD STILL and be baby Jesus so she could carry him...um-as you can see that didn't happen :) Instead we had a multi racial nativity. ie: baby Jesus.
Christmas Eve morning breakfast. Gavin's request WAFFLES! Yum.
Sledding on New Years.

Frog, No school bus...No FROGGY...

Gavin turned TWO today. We celebrated yesterday with the family. This is a pic of all of the party guests:)...and Gavin showing his mouthful of cake.

This is the final cake that Gavin decided upon. I like to give him choices...which is good...but usually ends up being ridiculous because he is two and how many definite opinions can he have:). We narrowed it down to school bus cake or froggy cake. Finally after much debate Froggy was chosen. Next was frosting flavor...vanilla or chocolate? Gavin: "Nilla, no Chocolate, no nilla" and on an on, so we did BOTH.

Make A WISH!

Chowin' the Froggy cake!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - TO THE CUTEST KID AROUND!!!
