Baby B is 2 months!

We had our 2 month appointment this morning for Baby B and 2 year appt for El. He is 13 lbs 5oz and 23.75" long. He is in the 85% for height and weight. He also got 5 shots today and has not been too happy since.

El was 29lbs and 35.75" long. She also got 1 shot and was caught off guard, but a sticker and bandaid helped her get over it. She seems to be pretty proud of her hello kitty bandaid and doesn't want to take it off. She even took a bath with it and it is still on! B-Daddy asked if she wanted it off, but she said no. She is going to try to get the most pitty out of it as possible.

Happy Birthday EL!!!!

Here is a picture of El the day she was born.

Sweet Em at 2 holding El for the first time. She was so proud!

Today my sweet El turns 2. She is so full of energy and such a fun kid to watch. She loves to put on a show and be the center of attention. Right now she is showing it up in front of Granny and Papaw because Em is asleep.

Em has been out since we got home from Grandma and Papa's this afternoon. We had a party for Em and El today at their pool. B-Daddy and I made them their castle cake, and they had their cousins and a couple of friends come out to swim. They had so much fun playing. It turned out to be a nice day.


Here is the making of the cake. Em watched the whole process and what a process it was. We decided to make it Friday night at Grandma and Papa's house so I wouldn't have to transport it. So Em said she wanted a pink cake, so I get the food coloring out to color the icing and grab the bottle that looks red, I put some drops in the icing and it happened to be yellow. I would have known that if I would have looked at the lid. So, no fear I have another tub of icing. This time I grab the correct bottle, and put about 6 drops in it and we got Red icing, So we had to open the 3rd tub of white and mix it to finally get pink.

B-Daddy making the windows.

Finished Product.

This was El's turn to blow out her candles, but she just laughed.

Our boy is getting big!!

Em loves to hold Baby B. He is getting so big!

Her is El's way of dressing up! She has such a fun personality, but boy can she wear me out!

Saving Money by Couponing!

I was out of my favorite cereal for a few days now. I love the Smart Start cereal, so it was off to Kroger we go! I got my coupons and kids together and we headed to the store. I ended up buying 8 boxes of cereal. I had a rebate form for $10 off if you buy 10 Kelloggs product. My total after coupons was $60.32. After my mail in rebate the total will be $50.32. Here is a picture of what I bought minus the 3 gallons of milk. I think I came out pretty good. I had $25 worth of coupons.

It has been 10 days!

I can't believe that it was been less than 2 weeks since they started framing our home. B-Daddy and I walk through it and are in amazement that one day, Lord willing, we will be living in this home that we designed. It is fun to see it shaping up. We just pray that it will be in budget. We drove up this afternoon and they are already putting in our windows. They don't have too much left to finish the framing part.

It is going to be so nice to be out there in a country subdivision and our kids can walk over to Grandma and Papa's. We were looking at the house this evening and I could hear the kids cutting up at Grandma and Papa's pool. Fun times!

Here are some pictures we took a week ago today.

B-Daddy and Baby B's feet

All of our feet. That was like playing twister.

Woo Hoo!!!

Baby B has been sleeping so well the past 3 nights!! He has gone 6 hours, 7 hours and last night 8 hours. He is committed now, he has no excuse not to sleep till 6am. He is doing so well, he is only 5 weeks old and sleeping well. Em slept all night at 8 weeks and El was 12 weeks. We are doing great with him sleeping so well at 5 weeks! The Lord knows that we are too old to be so sleep deprived!

Here are some pictures from this week.

This is Em and El all dressed up.

Em, El and baby B.

This is how El fell asleep the other day. Too tired to crawl into bed, and when she did crawl into bed this is how she ended up.

El sporting her sunglasses on her head. You can't say your kids don't do everything they see you doing. Isn't she precious!?

This is for you, Jessica.

Day 6 of the Framing

Here are a couple of pictures we took today.

B-Daddy's New Toy...I mean gas saver.

B-Daddy and his business partner both got motorcycles over the last week or so. The high gas prices have provided a fun excuse to have a new toy. Of course, B-Daddy spent about $12 on gas this last week instead of the usual $85-$150!
