late night

darndest
10:00am.
Child no. 1 points to my chest.
"Mom, those are baby's food. Those are your pumps."
Giggling ensues.
Memories of being on my uncle's dairy farm come to mind.

rugby beach bag

My new beach bag arrived this morning. There are lots of colors to chose from but this one, called Sunset Orange Stripe, I had to get since I will soon be sitting on exotic beaches watching beautiful orange sunsets. Can you tell I'm excited??
This tote is 100% cotton terry with large straps and even has an inside pocket to keep all the smaller items organized. It is pretty big too. Definitely big enough to pack a whole days worth of everything for those long days on the beach!!

Have you seen the new Mormon ads? They are so great and have a wonderful message. Here is one of my faves:

so many books, so little time!
Lately, I have been daydreaming about all the wonderful things I would do if I didn't have any responsibilities. I think I have officially caught spring fever or some kind of mental fever. One of the things I would do is stay in bed, all day and READ! Can a person do that and survive? I mean, of course the bodily functions cannot be ignored. A walk or two up and down the stairs would keep the blood flowing properly. But how cool would it be to just read and read and read. There are a lot of books on my reading wish list. Here are a few:




I am willing to admit that I have seen this movie more times than I have read the book. If I'm truly being honest, I will also have to tell you that I have never read the book. Isn't that awful? Reminds me of being in the fourth grade, my assignment was to read Charlotte's Web and I never read it...but instead, watched the movie. Argh! Pitiful.

One more! I would love to read this. After seeing the amazing John Adams series on HBO, I became even more curious about the life of Ben Franklin. Now how am I going to get my wish and have a reading day? Asking for zero interruptions on top of that might be going overboard a bit.

My wish list just keeps getting longer and longer. Here is another cool gadget to add! It is called the Electrolux Ergo Rapido Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner and it is totally cool. This is a lightweight stick vacuum that takes the place of a dustpan and broom. Even has a handheld little vacuum for all the hard to reach places.
Do you hear me MLH?? I don't just want this, I need it!!

public enemies

Holy crud! A movie starring Christian Bale and Johnny Depp? Can it get much better than that? Doubt it. Check out the trailer here.

target rules
I love, love, love Target! When I need new shoes for the kids, we make the trip just to see what they have (and an excuse to get out of the house). I especially have loved their baby/toddler shoes. The soles are soft and easy on baby's feet. Plus their girls shoes are TOO cute!
This is what we got for baby. Just the right amount of cute in an everyday shoe. She never wants to take them off. She loves wearing them any chance she gets. Sounds frighteningly familiar... ;)

snow day
Sunday afternoon our front lawn was bare. We had almost no snow. Monday afternoon, this is what our lawn looked like. Winter/pre-spring can be a kick in the pants.

Kristen Wiig is truly hilarious. Here she shows how we can take care of our kids but also save the environment.

florida

Oh...and this is where we are staying:

I guess you could say we are excited. I mean...who wants to stay in a five-star hotel, have airfare and accomodations paid for, a tour of the everglades on an airboat paid for, and expect sunsets like this on occasion:

At least we have Hawaii in May to look forward to!!!!!!!! ;)

U2 countdown
The new album, No Line On the Horizon, is AWESOME! You must get it! You definitely won't reget it. To top off the countdown, here is my no. 1 favorite U2 song. Kind of funny the title is Bad. It most certainly isn't.

18 months
Today you have reached another milestone in your life. You are now the big 18 (in months, of course). You have a personality all your own. You are very, very sweet and can also be a little dramatic. But we love it. We love everything about you and would not change a thing.
Your little voice brightens our day.
Your sweet cheeks are so fun to kiss.
You love playing with your big brother and have lots of fun laughing together. Your favorite words are see, book, Elmo, show, shoes, cookie, cereal, drink, juice, milk, light, stairs, toes, eyes, nose, ear, hair, teeth, hand, fingers, poop, no, da-da, mommy, ba-ba, dance and elephant. You LOVE to read. You are always bringing me lots of books to read to you. You plop right down in my lap and get comfortable. It is such a cute little thing that you do. You usually want me to read you the same book over and over and protest when I try to switch.
We love being your parents. We love watching you grow and become this perfect little person. We love you and pray the transition to nursery will be smooth. :)
