late

shame. on. me! I have not done a good job of keeping this up at all. I know, I know I have two kids...but this is one way for me to share and store memories and if I don't keep it up I may forget sweet sayings, activities, pictures and milestones we go through!

so the last few weeks we have been sick. yes ALL of us, even baby Pierce! it was not fun to see my little 4 week old get so sick. he had a fever and lots of congestion. the dr. said it was only an upper respitory infection and all we could do is wait it out. I got the same thing and lost my voice. let me tell you it is a big challange taking care of a toddler without a voice. however we are all finally healthy!

in other news Pierce is already 6 weeks old! holy cow!!!! don't worry I haven't forgotten his monthly photos just haven't blogged about it yet. it will come though. he is a really really sweet boy! he is super chunk however..LOL! he is wearing 3 month clothing already...but more on all that in the next post!

we are finally all adjusted to having another member of our family. there were several rough weeks. Saffryn started acting out and really craved my attention. I was tired (newborns will do that to you) and snippy and those things combined just made for some really long and discouraging days. but I feel like we are have gotten the hang of things! I feel like I have my sweet little girl back! she is doing great! also Pierce is sleeping 5-7hr stretches which gives me more patience to handle the juggling act!

Is having two as hard as every one says....yup. Is it as wonderful as everyone says...YUP!!!! this is so cliche but really it feels like Pierce has always been here.

so anyway more posts to come. but that is a bit on what has been happening around here!

Painting revisited

We tried painting again! This time it was much more successful and super duper fun! We made a big mess...oops! But at least we had fun doing it :)



She was so excited to start painting!




Such a good painter!




So interested in painting!




Finally got her to look at the camera! :)




Of course it progressed into finger painting!



So focused on her painting!

We love art projects!!!!

life with 2

What does life with two look like????


Sometimes life with two looks like this:



Poor baby!



Poor baby #2

Sometimes it looks like this:

Who is the real dog???? hehe!

A lot of times life with two looks like this:

Sink full of dirty dishes...among other messy places in my house!

Shopping with two children looks like this:




At Walmart picking up a few things!


Sometimes life with two babies looks like this:



Fun times with Momma!!!



fun times with Momma!

But the absolute best part of life with two is:



My two loves!!!!



My two loves!

There you have it! My life summed up with 2 children!!!! :)

Seattle Visitor

My dad (grandpa Darren) came to visit us for the weekend from Seattle! We had a blast! :-) We had really nice weather and did some fun things!

Saturday afternoon we spent a lot of time outside! Saffryn got in her swimsuit and played in her water table and also helped us wash our cars! She was a big help :) Grandpa Darren helped watch Pierce and play with Saffryn.



Grandpa Darren and baby Pierce!




Daddy filling her water table to play with while we got ready to wash the cars!

Helping daddy!



We had to stop and have a Popsicle break...yum!

We grilled pork chops and had corn on the cob and pasta salad for dinner! It really felt like a summer day...except for all the wind!

On Sunday we spent some time at the zoo! It was fun watching Saffryn run around like a crazy baby..hahah :)

Looking around with Grandpa Darren.

My Dad had to leave Sunday night. We loved having him come out and felt very special that he took a weekend to meet Pierce and reconnect with Saffryn. Looking forward to seeing him again!!! Love you Dad!
