Happy 3rd Birthday Big Guy!!

First of all- I have a 3 yr old??! How'd that happen? Jade is officially 3- and knows it! Since we had his birthday party on Saturday and his actual birthday was Sunday- he got a couple days of hearing "Happy Birthday Jade!" So everyday he keeps saying, "It's my birthday again today!"

Jade is getting over his terrible two's stage finally (though today is a whining day....) and we have more good days than bad. Another accomplishment as a 3 year old- Jade is 100 percent potty trained!!!!!! In words I can not say how excited we all are about that! We are wearing underwear everywhere, even to bed! We have not had any accidents in over two weeks! We are so proud of you big boy! It took a while to get him to poop in the potty- but with his timing we did it! He loves his underwear including Thomas the train, Handy Mandy, Glow in the dark space, his sports underwear, and my favorite- his boxer briefs like Daddy's! (Was that too personal?!!)

We had a grreat Madagascar birthday party at our house with little splash pools for the kiddo's! Jade had a great time with all his friends over. And with his sweet personality keeps telling me, "It was very nice for my friends to come over and bring me my birthday presents!"

Happy 6 Months Precious Girl!!

Ok, so she turned 6 months old 1 month ago. But I can not, not remember this time. And YOU have to see these pictures!! Brooklyn, you are the biggest blessing to me, your dad, and your brother. We all love you more and more everyday. I never knew having you as our baby girl would bring us all so much joy as a family and make us so complete as a family. Your smile is captivating and contagious- to us and the world. Everyone who meets you remembers you. You are the definition of beautiful. And your dimples that you got from your great-grandpa and your Mommy look sooo good on you!!
What are you up to these days?
You smile non-stop when your awake
You can roll over

You are eating everything- cereal, fruit, veggies, and meats. And you like them ALL!
You have always been a great sleeper!
You sleep with your glow worm and smile when it lights up.

New news

We have all been so busy around here! The summers usually do that to us, especially now that we are in June!
I have just begun studying!! And more excited about it than you know! Thanks to the suggestion from my mother-in-law (her finding), and many months (like 12 months) it finally felt right to take the plunge. I am taking a class to become a home stagger. I have always had a passion for interior decorating- and this is as close as it gets!! It is a 6 month course and with 2 kids it won't be easy but for the life I want for my family I feel deep in my heart that this is the ticket! As a home stagger I would have the flexibility that I desire for when Jade starts school.

Which brings me to my new buddy:

How cute is this?? It's the Dell mini! And PINK!! And it's required for a lot (or all of the submitting) of the course work. Did I mention that the schooling is based out of Canada?!
3 weeks ago I was having some work done on my car- and the dealership gave me a loner car while mine was in the shop. The loner- an Acura MDX. I have desired an MDX since Brooklyn was born. Having two kids and 5 seats left no room for anyone else except our family of four. So we up and decided that this was the car for us. Ohhhh the room we have! I smile every time I look back to the passengers behind me!


And lastly all of you know that I am wild about boutique clothing for Princess Brooklyn! Monogrammed clothing, pillowcase dresses, tutu's, hair bows, custom outfits.... and I have decided to release some of my creativity! I am making tutu's and hair bows!!!! I have just been making them for Brooklyn (and 1 tutu as a gift), but have thought about breaking out a boutique of my own when time allows.
Take a look at my creations:


I'm going to need a new bow holder, hers is beyond full!

And I'm all ready to make many more!!

Lots of happenings

Sooooo sooooo sorry for not updating lately!! I wasn't aware that so many people read my blogs but after quite a few verbal requests- here ya have it! Get ready for lots of new and lots of pics!!
