Lindsay's Bed

You know the commandment "thou shalt not covet?"

Well, I broke that commandment.

I saw THIS bed-frame and LOVED it.  

Too bad it costs $600.

Luckily for me, my mom is AMAZING!!!

She found this little beauty for $15 at the DI

And after a little sanding and painting.....

We now have this cute bed-frame for Lindsay!!

I LOVE it!

My mom even made those cute accent pillows!  

You are the BEST mama-c-ta!!  

Weekend Recap

Friday I did something stupid.  I stayed up late watching TWO movies with Darin.  The movies ended at 1:30, and Andrew woke up about 1:35 and wanted to be up for a while.  Luckily for me, I have the best husband in the world!!  After I fed Andrew Darin took him to another room and only brought him back when he needed to eat.  Even after Darin got him settled back down, he took the other kids in the morning, let me sleep in, AND made me breakfast in bed!!!  It was like mother’s day all over again!!

Check out these delicious chocolate chip waffles!  SOOO yummy!!

Saturday afternoon we headed over to see the chalk festival.  I felt really sad for so many people that worked so hard and their art got ruined by the rain.  Some people had covers on theirs, and some had come to retouch their art.  Regardless, we had a great evening walk!

One Month

I can't believe that Andrew is already a month old!

He is such a cute little guy!

Sleeping isn't consistent yet.  Some nights it feels like he is awake ALL night long.  But other times he will sleep for 4 1/2 hours, eat, then sleep another 4 1/2 hours (I LOVE those nights). 

Unlike Matthew and Lindsay, Andrew loves tummy time and he's already rolled over twice!

He has a really easy-going temperament. He cries when he's hungry, tired, dirty, or when he gets out of the bathtub. But even when he does cry I can usually get him to calm down within a few seconds.  He really is a good little baby!

Mother's Day

Love being a mother to these THREE!!  (I still can't believe that I have three kids).

Darin spoiled me--two bouquets of flowers, chocolates, breakfast in bed, and two gifts that I asked for.  Thanks spouse!

Sidewalk Chalk Festival!

The sidewalk festival began today!  

We met up with our friends Angie, Daxton, and Brock, and my sister Heather and her Rachel.  (Thanks for coming you guys!)

We had a great time coloring and we’re excited to go back this weekend to see what the “real” artists do!

The Boys!

Matt and Andrew are already best buddies!

Matt is such a great big brother and Andrew already loves him!

I love these boys!

Summer Bucket List!

Today we made our summer bucket list!

It is always fun to have things to look forward to.

This year we wrote our list on our chalk board so we can cross them off.

Here's to a fun spring and summer!

To the Park!

Quatro, Cinco, Seis De Mayo

Quatro de Mayo

I knew that we were going to my parents’ house for Sunday dinner, so I decided to do a few crafts with the kids the day before.

We painted serapes.

We made sombrero cookies.

We made mini pull piñatas (that were really easy, fun, and I thought they turned out really cute).

Cinco de Mayo

We went my parents’s for some yummy nacho casserole and Heather made some yummy lime cookies and lime ice-cream.  Andrew had fun with the family--especially Grandpa.

and Grandma painted Lindsay’s toes.

Seis de Mayo

We had my parents over for dinner.  

We had cheese enchiladas, chicken enchiladas, individual 7 layer bean dip, and virgin margaritas.

We put on some costumes

 pulled our piñatas and had FHE.

And I have to say this might be my favorite picture of Andrew so far.  It makes me laugh.

Hope you had a happy cinco de mayo!
