Hard to believe....

...that these innocent faces are both in the tantrum phase...my oh my!

When I am ready...

When I am ready, I will smile.
You’ll have to wait a little while.
Its one of the first things I learn to do,
I want it to be just right for you.
When I am ready, I’ll sleep through.
There may be small things you can do,
to help me do it, but you’ll soon see,
that in the end, it’s down to me.
When I am ready, I will crawl.
And then you’ll have no peace at all.
Into everything I’ll be,
No time for your nice cup of tea!
When I am ready I will walk.
And when I’m ready, I will talk.
Then that’s it, big milestones done.
(Though you will still cherish ones to come.)
And when you’re old and up I’ve grown,
and maybe perhaps children of my own,
you’ll look at them and you will sigh -
How fast the time has passed you by!
Was I really as small as that,
helpless and tiny, in booties and hat?
And much as you tried to enjoy each part,
there was that wish inside your heart;
will you ever get there? You used to say,
as you wished my babyhood away.
The others are doing it, why aren’t you? Because it’s not my time - if only you knew that all the worry was a waste of time, the decision of when, was always mine.
I did it all in the end, nice and steady. I told you I’d do it when I was ready!

We got to go to the playplace after th Easter Bunny pics! Mommy & Daddy will probably be kicking themselves if we get sick after this but I sure did miss that place...it's been months!

Easter Bunny visit

We went to see the Easter Bunny at the mall tonight. I ended up getting a little scared of him once I was left alone on his lap. My daddy figured out the trick to tickle me and then jump back so we could snap a picture of me smiling. Bella couldn't care one way or another. After pictures we got to go play at the playplace. i haven't been there in months so it was soooo much fun to go back to my ol stompin grounds...hahaha

"FRANKENPARKER"

Scroooollllll!

Thanks to everyone who took our poll!!! Alright, who voted for Byson?!?! LOL. I'm pretty sure were done though. 2 is perfect for us now. We just had one day of insanity thinking, maybe just maybe..hahaha. Anyway, we added lots of pictures so you'll have to make sure to scroll down so you don't miss anything! If you're wondering why I ask him to jump so much in the videos, he just learned how to do this w/both feet off the ground and is very proud of himself!

Mwah

Turn your head sideways!

Living room

Kitchen & Living Room!

We decided to repaint the kitchen one Sunday on a whim. Well, then the living room didn't match so we HAD to that of course. Now our dining room doesn't match but we won't do that for a little while ;) Both the paint was from before we moved in so it needed a refresh! We want a dark kitchen so we went with a chocolate milk brown color. The living room was a mustard/tan color. We did a light tan color that was 2 shades lighter than the kitchen pallete. We also put new lighiting in the kitchen and out with that awful floresent light! We have had some people over the last couple days to prepare quotes to do tile and laminate wood on the first level. Although we probably won't do that part until next year after we've saved more money! Ok, enough babbling, here's some before and after pics!

60 DEGREES!!! WOOOO HOOOOO!

Spring is coming! Spring is coming! We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to get out and play and go for walks and air out the house!

Scary faces

Still waiting for spring. We are doing a lot of spring cleaning already. We repainted the whole kitchen and are going to redo the living room next weekend in a lighter color family to match. We'll have before and after pictures then.
Heres a couple pictures I dug up of the kids being scared by the camera!
