Thank you tax return...

for paying for Daniel's new toy.

My uncle was selling this and gave us a super great deal on it. Daniel is always asking if he can buy a truck because he is tired of always borrowing one. It was in a small accident last year when it snowed so it needs some repair, but otherwise looks and runs great! Have fun with it babe, now you can go get me a new washer and dryer. :)

Happy Birthday Daniel!

We had lots of plans for Daniel's birthday this year but with Addie not feeling well we had to change them a bit. He had Monday off but we spent the day tending to a sick (and very whiny) Addie and spent the afternoon at the doc. office. Tuesday was his actual birthday and everyone was well enough to go out to eat.

It's been our tradition since we moved here to eat at Red Robin for all of our birthdays. The birthday person gets a free burger and ice cream!

Opening presents.

3 Months

Happy Valentine's Day

First, this little guy is 3 months old today! I can't believe how fast time is going by. He is so much fun! Everyone can't believe how big he is getting. He is full of smiles (especially when Addie is around), has his 2 bottom teeth coming in and is pretty mellow. We love him and his chubby cheeks!

We decided to 'stay in' this V-day which was totally OK with me because I am always so tired. Saturday morning we went out to breakfast (one of my favorite things) as a family. Saturday night we rented a movie and just stayed home. Sunday morning we made (wheat free) chocolate chunk muffins, eggs and bacon, yum.

I've seen these adorable Valentine's Day bags from Pottery Barn Kids on a few people's blogs. My friend posted the tutorial on how to make your own so I decided to give it a try. Part way through I got stuck and had to get some help but I think it came out pretty cute! I was realistic with how much time I was going to have to make it so Johnny will have to wait until next year for his :) Addie was excited to open it up and see what we got her.

I remember always getting some small piece of jewelry from my mom so I thought I would carry that on for Addie. Inside her bag she found some chocolate, a necklace and matching earrings and a book. (The book was added because the bag was pretty empty without it.)

Seriously?!?

The past few days Johnny has been sleeping a lot during the day (which is nice right?) and is super cranky at night. He has to be held ALL the time, doesn't want to nurse and just screams. Last night I decided to check his gums because teething was the only thing I could think of. Sure enough, he already has a tooth poking through the gum! Isn't it a little bit early? Addie didn't get any teeth for awhile but I guess every kid is different. I think the other bottom one might be coming in too, it's kind of hard to look in there when h is screaming. I am hoping we don't have very many more days like this. I am exhausted!
