Happy 50th Birthday, Grampa!

{Friday Night Leftovers - The 'Playing Hooky' Edition}

I'm skipping Friday Night Leftovers this week... not because I have nothing to write about but because the sun in shining and the birds are chirping. My time is much better spent outside today :)

Happy Weekend, Everyone.

{Bad Hair Day}

Tasha did a Wordless Wednesday Bad Hair Day Edition and it made me giggle...  a little because Baby P is just too cute - for real, check her out - and a little because Baby H has bad hair days, too! See for yourself:

{Happy Mother's Day}

Today is MY day:

But it's also THEIR day:

And it's only my day because it was their day first... 

Happy Mother's Day, to all 3 of you!

{Friday Night Leftovers}

• I can't remember who it was that mentioned this last week, but it seems that now that I do FNLs, Friday comes around before I even know it. It's like I blink and BAM, it's Friday again. 
• July 4th will be my 2nd Anniversary - I still haven't had my wedding dress cleaned. Currently, it's in H's closet in a garbage bag... perhaps I should deal with that soon.
• I made baby food for the first time this week. I said I'd make my own but we bought a little to begin with just to make sure she was actually into eating before I brought out the apron. When the jars we bought ran out, I busted out the food processor and she's currently enjoying homemade yams and apple sauce. 
• The Jolly Jumper made it's first appearance last weekend. It's a hit - most of the time. Sometimes she'd rather chew on the straps that jump but it helps me get a shower in at the very least! 
• The weather was great this week and went on a few walks. I can't wait for it to get nicer and nicer and then walks can become a daily thing. 
• Has anyone brought their babe to a Chiropractor? Gas is still a huge issue in H's tummy and she is still consistently fussy and seems to be getting whinier by the day. I've heard good things about it helping with colic, gas, etc., but I'm skeptical.. any thoughts?
• I heart macaroons and banana cream pie blizzards. 
• We went swimming on Tuesday with another couple of mama's and their babies. We were in the pool for about an hour and H loved every moment of it. She's such a ham. 
• We leave for Peachland to see my mom in 18 days!!! 
• A good friend is struggling with some breastfeeding issues. She's worried she's not producing enough to satisfy her daughter and beating herself up about it. I totally understand where she's coming from because I went through so much in the beginning of H's life trying to breastfeed and it can really get you down. Why is it, that as women, we can't help but blame ourselves when things don't go the way we think they should? Sometimes things just don't go the way we want them to and it's completely out of our control. I think that's the issue.. we like to be in control.. Anyways, I guess what I'm getting at is that we've all been there and it sucks... I just want her to know she's not alone and one way or another, it will work out :)
• C has his first baseball game on Wednesday and they won! It was nice to be out of the house (minus a clingon - she was at grammas!) and watch him play.
• I really need to start going to sleep before 1 am. The late bedtime, plus the new 430 feed (whyyyyy!?!?!) and the early 7am wakeup call are really starting to get to me. I'm exhausted and feeling a bit under the weather. When C get's home at 5 I'm counting down the hours until it's H's bedtime and that's not how I want to spend our evenings as a family.  I think we can all benefit from earlier nights. Consider it my goal... ask me how I did next week.

You can find more leftovers HERE. Go check'em out!

{Spring has Sprung!}

Yeah, I know the first day of Spring was a couple weeks ago however, Mother Nature must have missed the memo. Fortunately, she received it a few days ago and the weather has been absolutely fabulous. Tshirt weather, even!

This weekend consisted of walks, car washing, drinks & pudgies by the campfire, baseball, Jolly Jumper'ing (outside), horse visiting, and smiles.

All around we had a fabulous weekend and I sure hope the sun sticks around!
