Brett takes Chloe out every Valentine's Day. It's so cute. She looks forward to it all year.

Levi's First Haircut

Image
The before pics: The after: A few weeks later....due to lice (ugh!!), we cut it again: Levi has been smiling goofy ever since getting his hair cut. It's like he's a new man :). So cute.

Laundry Room Makeover

Image
I spend a lot of time in the laundry room. Not only do I have the normal amount of laundry 6 people create, I also have the added laundry of: - a self-feeding but very messy 20 month old (who refuses to wear a bib, so I change him often) - a 4 year old who hates being dirty, so he changes anytime he is sticky (which is a lot) - workout clothes from Brett and I each day (in addition to our normal clothes) - in the summer, pool towels The upside is my kids think wearing underwear is an optional activity, so there's not much of that in the laundry. Another issue is that we walk through our laundry room approximately 487 times a day.  Our pantry is in the laundry room (which is weird, but I do like that it's out of sight).  To get to the garage, we pass through it. It is also the one room in the house I've totally neglected.  In my mind, it's the laundry room.  Who cares? But after spending WAY too much time in there a few weeks ago with kids gunk, I decided it

Conversations

Driving in the car, discussing what show to watch this evening, the following conversation transpired..... Caleb: "Chloe watches the Winx wedding episode everytime." Chloe (embarrassed): "No, I don't. Not all the time." Me: "Don't be embarrassed. I used to think about weddings a lot when I was a girl." Chloe: "I kind of think about them all the time.  But they're gross." The inability to openly enjoy weddings is a real negative to being the only girl.

Luke, Age 4

Image
My sweet Luke turned 4 recently.  I am waiting to do his photo shoot because he has a random ouchy on his face. Luke, who we affectionately call Pookers, is so so awesome.  He is at that super cute, I just wish I could bottle the cuteness, phase.  He makes me laugh often.  Pook is all boy: he dreams of the day he can hunt and play sports.  Before he could talk, Luke was serious, but now that he has words, he is hilarious and silly. Lukey is sweet and spicy.  He loves to snuggle, says such sweet things, and is so precious....but he is picky, and when he doesn't get his way, he is mean and strong-willed.  As he gets older, the spicy parts are fewer, but I can't help but even laugh at that because he is just so so so cute.  He HATES to be called cute.  Luke prefers cool :). This boy is a creature of habit.  He likes the same routine every day.  At night, we have the same bedtime routine.  He seems to be an introvert.  He loves to be home and isn't a huge fan of people

Morning

Every morning, Levi wakes up before Luke. Levi stands over his crib and screams at Luke to try to wake him up. It's so cute.
