Bring on the sun!!

Don't tell Daddy!! Her first bikini!

Hairbow Holder Project

Gracie's hair has started to grow a lot within the past month. It seems to get darker by the day, and she has little curls at the base of her neck. In preparation of the bangs to come, I have started making lots of hair bows and clips. I needed a place to put all of the clips, thus the photo frame project began.

I paid $2.25 for a frame at the local thrift store. Bought a can of pink spray paint and went to work. Brown ribbon and a glue gun completed the project. Now if only I had a wall to hang it on. She definitely needs her own room.

Gracie Can Finally Clap!

After months and months of trying to get her to clap, tonight she did it!! She clapped and was so proud of herself she continued to clap all night.

Bronson's Miracle

I came across this story and felt it was something that we should all take the time to share with as many families as possible. This is a very eye opening truth about never leaving our precious miracles alone in the bathtub for even a few seconds. Although this video is very hard to watch, it is an important reminder for all of us. This Mom walked out of the room after placing her two small children in the tub. When she returned the results were devastating. You can read her account of the day at the following link;

Jonah's In The Army Now.

After six months of unsuccessful attempts at getting Jonah to stop pulling his hair, last night Mama got him with the hair clippers. Poor little booger cried, and I admittedly feel truly awful about it. When we started I never intended to cut it that short, but surprise! We now have a little Kevin running around. We quickly came up with all the pros;

We don't have to rinse his morning bedhead so he can sleep an extra ten minutes in the morning.

Gracie will no longer be able to grab a handful of his hair sending him into a screaming frenzy.

Rubbing his head now feels like rubbing Kevin's head, and we love rubbing Kevin's shaved head.

We will save $ on shampoo.

So next time you see him make sure you tell him how handsome he looks and how mean his Mama was to do that to him!

What happen to my baby girl?

Gracie is all of a sudden not so little anymore. She now walks everywhere. Gone are the days of baby steps. She has officially taken off. Every time I see her following behind me or walking across the room, I have to do a quick double take to believe my eyes. Jonah is equally stunned. Tonight we were at the library and she was racing all over the place. Squealing with delight at her new trick. Walking between all of the aisles and searching around every corner. Jonah stopped dead in his tracks and I watched his jaw hit the floor as he stood in awe watching her go.

My little girl is really walking now. It's the most amazing and sad moment all rolled into one. She is such a beautiful spirit and it is devastating that her Daddy has to miss these milestones. When he gets home she won't be walking. She will be running! The perfect speed for Daddy.

What is it about bubbles?

What is it about bubbles that make everyone so happy? The $2.99 bubble gun that I got the kids for Valentines Day has turned out to be a huge hit in our household. Everyone loves bubbles!!
