Yes it is PERMANENT!!!!

Jeff wonders why there are days I don't even get to shower.....here is an example of why even a 2-5 minute shower can be a total disaster.....






And no it has not come all the way off. I think it may be there for a few weeks even after I washed it off 15 times!!

Bowl O Rama....

A Bowling Birthday......

This weekend we celebrated Papa Irch's Birthday. We went bowling. I was a little nervous how the boys would do. Sawyer was not his usual self and was very very grumpy. Noah loved bowling he managed to last two games and did pretty well. It was a really fun time and Noah is already asking if we can go again!

Pictures Finally.....

Wow I am lame....very lame at posting pictures....It was a VERY long week last week. But I am happy to report all is well again. Noah and Sawyer got to have some much needed Grandma time with my mom and Jeff's mom, they were very sweet to come to my aid when I was feeling horrible last week!!! Thanks for spoiling them as only Grandma's can do.
What we have been up to....
Noah....is becoming much more understandable in the talking department. Which is very helpful to people who are not around him 24-7 like me. His new passsion right now are bubbles...I found this great bubble machine at the store and he loves it and it is the best ten dollars I have spent in a long time. After weeks and weeks of stealing any pacifer he can get his hands on...I caved...I gave him a broken one that I cut. I don't even think he sucks on it but he is happy to have it and no longer takes hours to go to bed. He loves his brother and is very happy to bug and wrestle him at any chance he gets.
Sawyer.....is as usual always happy! He loves food still and really has not met anything he doesn't like. He loves his Daddy and just sits at the front door calling his name all day long. He is getting lots and lots of teeth and has started biting which may come in handy when he is being attacked by his brother. He is trying desperately to walk but really can't get enough space to go about his business. He loves to be outside and play with all the big kids.
Jeff....is just barely starting busy season. In what little spare time that he has he plays with the boys, takes care of me and maybe gets in an occasional basketball game on TV or maybe even some Golf on the Xbox.
Me....after last week I am trying to get back in the swing cleaning house, I am definitly feeling a need to do a lot of spring cleaning around here. I am hoping to get in some much needed scrapbooking with the late nights Jeff will be having. Baby is doing good....he is still nameless and still a boy. The Dr. one day last week told me it was a girl but took that back the next day...my mom keeps teasing that it might be one of those babies that you had when you where a kid...flip over a boy and over for a girl. Maybe she is right. Or twins??? I wish..well not really but it would be nice to get one of each. We are loving this warmer weather and feeling great these days!!!

A New Day.....

Last night Jeff and I had the opportunity to attend a parenting seminar last night. I was a little skeptical, not that I can't use the help but I was just not in the mood to go. But it was actually really great. Her name is Sandy McDaniel, she has four books and some cd's and she also writes a column for the Orange County register every tuesday. Jeff and I got some of her books and I am excited to really get into them. After leaving last night I was actually excited for Noah to get into some trouble so I could try out some of these techniques. So even though I did not want to go it ended up being a really great evening out with my husbnd!! Oh she also has a great website check it out!!! parentingsos.com

Some love.....

No worries I have gotten over my slump of a few days ago. I thought I would actually share some good things from this week...and some news things that I found that I love....
First off baby boy #3...is still nameless, which is very very unlike us. Don't worry we are negotiating. Besides that this baby is popping out much quicker than the other two. I'm already wearing maternity pants....which brings me to my first new love, I found Capri's at Motherhood. They are fabulous and don't make me itch like other full panel pants I have tried. Another weird third baby thing....my friend Karin was asking me if I had a lot of pain when I was pregnant with Sawyer where my c-section scar is....of course I had none...that is until this week....I started having this horrid pain I have been told it is scar tissue and I can't believe how badly it hurts!!! Enough whining this is a happy entry I promise!!

My second new love that I have recently discovered is Bare Minerals make-up. I have been having horrible skin, very oily and very very broken out. I thought a change of makeup would help....I tried this makeup a few years ago but I wasn't a huge fan, but now they sell it at Macy's and I was able to get a consultation and it all makes so much more sense! and after a little over a week no more oily and far less acne!!!

Yesterday the boys and I went and played at the park with Grandma Jody, the boys were so happy to have a sunny day!! After the park we went to lunch with Aunt Patrice...we went to lunch at Corner Bakery...which is another LOVE....It is always good no matter what you get! Then we went to Sprinkles....and I must say I love cupcakes....I know this place has been very hyped up...but I think it is all about the flavor you choose...the first one I tried was good but then I tried the coconut and black and white.....the black and white cupcake was very very yummy. It did not hold a candle to the vanilla chocolate one that I thought was good.
So sorry I have no pictures...I am a lame mom and forgot to bring the camera....Well we are still trying to potty train Noah I think I have discovered so bribes that might work better than candy!!! I will keep you informed whether or not you wanted to know!! Wish me luck!!
