Cookies!

Milo and Swayze helped make double chocolate chip cookies tonight! they had so much fun! it was so cute, while they were making them, they sang "this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine..." (i dont know the title to it?) and they were clapping and giggiling, I just had to take a picture of these two silly kids!

If you notice, Milo has a little bit of a clean fettish, he hates getting his hands dirty, or anything else for that matter! But I dont mind that at all! he is my little baseboard scrubber, he will get a rag and go along EVERY baseboard in the house and clean it! what a good boy!

Nanny 911?

Some may look at this as child negligence,

but I thought it was cute!

While Milo was playing on the floor I layed Auggie next to him so Milo could entertain him while I was talking on the phone (to Nicole of course) I had my back turned to them, and I could hear Milo giggiling and Auggie was cooing and making all sorts of "talking" noises,

and this is what I saw when I looked over...

Milo was sliding him all around the wood floor! and Auggie looked so happy! Milo was really being gentle and soft, so he wouldnt fall off the blanket. So I felt that it was cute and not harmful, but in a way you could look at it and think "what kind of mom lets there 5 year old drag the 2 month old baby all around the Hard wood floor!?" well i did. Milo is just so eager to finally have a little brother to play with! now is that really so bad?

Fevers, Carrotts and Candy

As you can tell milo is very excited that the Easter bunny came

and ate his carrotts he left out!

Easter should be full of laughs and Excitment right? Well lets just say ours was full of tears and comotion! Milo woke up at 12:00 last night and was Blazing hot! so I took him back to bed and took his temp. it was 105.0!!!! I stareted to panic, I told Russ, and we debated wether or not to take him to the ER, I gave him tylenol, and he finnally fell back asleep. I continued to check his temp all night long! (it was a LOOOONG night!) it stayed high all night, but when he woke up this morning it was gone! I mean give me a break! why do things like that only happen in the night! But, he is complaning that his throat and ears hurt, SO I called the on-call Doctor and she said there is just a nasty viral thing going through, and if he does'nt have the fever for 24 hours straight then he is fine?....... he may be fine, But im not! So for the time being, he will only eat Otter Pops. He would'nt even eat any Easter Candy...thats how I know he is not feeling well!

Happy Easter?

Dying Easter Eggs...and countertops.

This year we opted for the classic white crayon design. Milo was just baffled by it all, and amazed that whatever he colored...stayed the same? So it was a pretty uneventfull Egg Dye, until, the cleanup! Ok, so I feel like a pretty intelligent person? well lets just get right to the point and say, that Red egg dye, stains granite countertops! I had no Idea! I guess I had this false image in my head that granite was like this all powerful stone that could withstand the elements of time? WRONG! well sort of. After much scrubbing (and many angry words running through my head) I was able to get MOST of it off with a granite polish? in certain light you can still get a little glimpse of pink.....

but thats ok, I like pink.

Flasback Friday

**Hawaii Edition **

Ok, so it's kind of hard for me to think of this as a flashback, because it does'nt seem like it was that long ago but it has been almost 6 years! I dedicate this one to all the old Hawaii posse, when I came accross this picture below it brought back a flood of memories, Let me explain.... Below we have a picture of what I like to call "COSTCO RUN" see, costco was quite a trip for us living in Laie, (and many of us did not have cars.....or at least cars that would make it that far!) So we would every month or so, Take a big feildtrip to Cotstco, and it really was like a feild trip, we would eat dinner there, get ice cream, the whole sha-bang! One of the best things about this particular picture is the car! this car belonged to the Counihans and was so rightly called the "zeypher" (i dont know how to spell it...sorry) I have no Idea the year or what company made it or anything! all I know is it was AWESOME! so awesome, that it even had grass growing on the floor of it! it was the perfect surf mobile/grocery cart in the world!

farwell good friend,we will miss you!

I forgot to add the BEST part about the Hawaii Costco. one of the workers there, that did one of the food sampling booths, would randomly yell out "it's so good, makes you wanna say yyeeehaaa!" you could hear it echoing throughout the whole store! ahh, good times.

Bows, Bows And More BOWS!

SO I decided to stop using the "I just had a baby" card, and get back to WORK! So this is my first week back doing bows, and it was actually quite enjoyable! (give me a month and Im sure i'll say otherwise!) I think it is better now because I have a whole room deticated to Baby Bling! that way I can sprwal out and do some work for half an hour and shut the door when i'm done! now if I only had a little girl to put them on my life would be complete!

P.S. Order bows at: www.babyblingbows.com

Fart Redwood?

So, Milo loves Lincoln Logs! Well, while we were getting ready this morning, Milo came running into our room all giggily and red in the face and said "Dad, the Lincoln Log Box says FART!" he went on to explain that "F" says ffff

"O" says AHHH "R" says rrrr and "T" says tah. FORT! not FART! so we had a little phonics lesson and he decided it would be funny to change the "O" to a "A" on the box. I have a feeling he will be letting many kids at school know that he can now spell fart.....we're so proud!
