Party Animals!

Today was Cruz's 3rd birthday party and I'm not sure who had more fun (the kids or the Dad's)!  We went to Andy Alligators in Norman which is one of Cruz's favorite places to play.  Him and Hailey immediately went for the bowling alley where they worked on their strike skills!  Brodie raced Cruz up and down the jungle gym and Max and Mason joined in for the Father/Kid go-cart races!  So much fun!  We're so, so, so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family!!!

Easter Weekend

So we were lucky enough to get to spend Easter/Garrett's Birthday weekend at our new lake house!  We closed on it Friday April 2nd and began the daunting task of moving!  Yuck!  We've only just begun but here are a few pics of the house and "Cruz's" new boat!  Lets just say, the kid is going to be a lake bum!  FOR SURE!!!

This is the back view of the house when it was first listed for sale.

Front view and party deck!

Elyce and I made a Saturday shopping trip to IKEA.  Can you say UHAUL?

Our cutie patootie dining room chair cushions!  Love this fabric from IKEA!!!

Cruz hunting Easter eggs...

This will be a summer full of projects to get this place all furnished and decorated!  We're so excited to get to spend the summer playing with our boys and our nieces!  (We're right around the corner from the Jackson/Blackburn/Fischer compound!!!) Can't wait to create lots of memories!!!

Playing Catch Up!

We have been so busy with springtime craziness so I'm just now catching up!

Cruz took Mommy to see the How To Train Your Dragon movie last weekend.  We loved, loved, loved it until we got bored (about an hour into the movie) and decided to peace out!  O well, my date wanted to move on to bigger, better things like a bubble bath and early bed time!  BRING IT ON!

Garrett and I took Cruz to the Shrine Circus on Sunday.  He loved the white tigers and the baby elephant!  We had cotton candy, an icy, and bought a light up elephant thingy! (of course we needed a light up souvenir!)

36 week update

36 weeks down and "technically" 3 weeks till baby Jett arrives!!!

We are so excited!!!

Paint Party...

It seems like just yesterday that Garrett and I were casting my belly with Baby Cruz inside!  Laughing the entire time because we didn't know what the heck we were doing and I had to stand still with my arms over my head for 45 minutes at 8 1/2 months preggers!  (it is quite the challenge!)  We had no clue how much our lives were about to change forever!  That this sweet little boy would melt our hearts at first glance.  And here we are 3 years later...  With Cruz's help, we casted my belly again last night with Baby Jett inside.  It was a bit messier this time, however, we still laughed at the entire process because Cruz kept asking "what are those mommy?"  while pointing at my ta tas!  It was a learning experience for everyone!  We let it dry and he helped me paint and decorate it.  Its hard to believe that in a few short weeks we will have another sweet precious boy melting our hearts all over again and adding another element of excitement to our lives forever!  I feel so blessed!!!

St. Patty's Day 2010

So my handsome little man was so excited to sport his tie shirt to school yesterday that we had to take pics before we left.  He even gave me the "GQ open jacket" pose!  Can anyone say ham???  Watch out ladies...

Its official...

Love, Love, Love...

This was one of my favorite parts of the shower for Baby Jett!  Aunt Amy made the most adorable diaper cake full of goodies for the little man!  It is so darn cute that I'm having trouble contemplating whether to take it apart or not!  I love it!  We didn't get any pics of it at the shower but I took some today of it on my counter because its just so stinkin' awesome!!!

Thanks Aunt A!!!  We love you!

Mommy and Baby Jett say Thank You!!!

Today we had Baby Jett's shower and it was so much fun!  Let's just say I have the best friends around!!!  They put together such an awesome afternoon with lots of yummy food and two cakes to die for! (yes, i said 2!)  Baby Jett received tons of great gear, fun toys, and lots and lots of diapers and wipes!  Thank you! Thank you!  Here are some pics of the celebration...

Help you, Mommy?

Funny Story...

So you don't realize that everything you say to a 2 year old is stored in their memory bank "literally!"  Cruz is playing with his choo choo track the other night and yells out "Help you, Mommy?"  I'm like, help you? What is he talking about?  After a few rounds of this I realize he's just repeating what G and I are always saying.  "Can I help you?"  "Can Mommy help you?"  "Do you need help?"  We hadn't explained that he has to change the YOU to ME!  So funny!!!

Muscles

Cruz has decided that a year of flintstones vitamins have really made his muscles bigger!  And to prove it, he wants me to take pictures of them all the time!  Here are a few so you get the idea...

Any yes, my child loves to be naked or in his skivies!

Speaking of skivies, here is a sneak peak at some that will be featured in my new etsy shop called Two Turtles.  How cute is this little model?  He wanted to "pose" for me and everything!

and more muscle shots...
