Avery found one of Jake's markers on the floor...and attempted to put on some lipstick with it!  Or just eat it.

My hat finally arrived in the mail!  I've been wanting one of these for quite a while and Jeremy has highly discouraged it.  He calls them "cougar hats."  This was my look of pure excitement right after I opened the package...now I'm not really sure when and how to wear it.  Although maybe I'm still cool just for owning one?

Daddy and Jakey sitting in the school auditorium.  They went to see the school play!

Avery's first big-kid bath and she has to share the tub!


2-27-13

 
Haircut day!  Although he looks good (and really needed it!) this haircut makes him look so old!!!

2-26-13

 
Posing in her John Deere shirt - especially for Oma and Opa!

It's Monday and the kids are too sick for me to go work.  So what do I do with unexpected extra time?  Make homemade pretzels!!!  On the left - cinnamon pretzels (dirty pretzels) and on the right, salty ones.  Delicious!

Snowman building day!  Too bad Jake wouldn't cooperate for a picture...

2-23-13

 
We have a sick household.  Joel was just running a fever, but fell asleep in the morning while watching TV.

Avery loves to eat!  Notice her hands are moving?  She gets so excited her hands go flying every time she eats!


2-20-13

 
Silly kid!  That hat is even too small for Avery!

Joel loves garlic bread - mostly because he likes to eat the center out and leave the crust.

Daddies should never be allowed to try on headbands...end of story!

2-17-13

 
Oma & Opa brought corndogs for the kids for lunch.  Joel wasn't quite sure what to do and started dipping the stick in his ketchup!

2-16-13

 
A Pinterest creation - and I actually used the sewing machine by myself!  BUT I have been endlessly ridiculed when I put it on Avery - I guess it doesn't look good on my babe??

2-15-13

 
I regularly try to explain to Jeremy that tupperware should not go in the microwave.  Especially when it's sealed.  Warped and ruined...

2-14-13

 
2 dozen roses for this lucky mom!  Jeremy always does Valentine's Day right.  Afterall, he prosed on this night 11 years ago!

2-13-13

 
Happy 7 month old!  Kicking off Valentine's Day a day early.

2-12-13

 
The kids have been playing in a tent.  Avery even got involved and decided to army crawl through the tunnel of the tent!

2-11-13

 
Jeremy had a snow day and made Mac & Cheese for lunch for the boys.  They ate the whole box.  How much is it going to cost me to feed 2 boys as they get older?!

2-10-13

 
This is our treadmill.  You can hardly see it under Jeremy's creation.  He put all of this together so that he can play games on the computer while walking.

It's Cindy-Lou-Who!  Bathtime pictures are so much fun!

2-8-13

 
I broke down.  See the brush on the right?  I've owned it since I was in 10th grade.  It barely worked and was really dirty.  So after all these years I finally splurged, spent $5, and bought myself a new one.  It's shaped like a rectangle, so I'm pretty excited. (I don't know why I find this so cool.)  Jake now sits around brushing his head and saying it feels so good.  Silly kid!

2-7-13

 
And this is the reason the boys are no longer in the same room at night - Jake fell asleep DURING his bedtime story and nightowl Joel hasn't even gotten his pj's on yet.

2-6-13

 
A friend wanted to try this headband on a baby to see if it would fit her little doll that she's bringing home soon from Ethiopia.  Love the headband and Avery is excited for her new playmate!


2-4-13

 
Joel is secretly giving Avery toys that she is too little to play with.  I have to watch these two like a hawk!

2-3-13

 
February is here!  Time to start celebrating with pink hearts!

2-2-13

 
My handsome, curly Q, trouble-maker!

Joel is my little Bubba Fett (yes, more Star Wars.)

This is the beginning of my painting.  I had no desire to do this because I have zero artistic skills.  However, the girls from work were going and I wanted to be a part of it.  So here I am, learning to paint.  Hard to imagine this will soon be a city scape of downtown GR!  Go me!
