baby blues

thought this was such a sweet after-bath pic of Lincoln and Leia....check out those baby blues :-)


and one of Leia with a "mohawk" :-)



goofin' off with Leia's new sunglasses

More room decor

still going....here are the latest pictures of Leia's room...complete with the princess herself. :-) I am still on the hunt for a chandelier and a night light to match the theme. the twin bedding set was a great find at Bed Bath and Beyond for only $30....not exactly what I wanted (found a set on-line of her exact theme in light pink and black, but it was over $200 with sheets and all!!! a bit much!), but it works for now.

what happens when 3 yr olds get breakfast

here is the scene I woke up to one morning last week....


Landon has become quite proficient at getting his own cereal and helping Lincoln, but apparently Landon didn't want to help on this particular occasion, so Lincoln tried it on his own...to mixed results. :-) sometimes I feel my life is just cleaning up one mess after another (especially during the potty training days), but, lest I wallow too long in self-pity, I remind myself that someday (I've been told!) I will miss having messes to clean up and will long for the "good old days when the kids were young". :-)

Super Heroes

Lincoln and Brynlee on a good day of friendship...they are few and far between these days, but this was a precious moment captured so well by Barie...I love it!

hanging out with my girl

Leia kind of snuggled up with me on the couch this evening and was just sitting next to me, so Aaron captured this shot and I played with it on instagram. :-)

She's Walking!

It's official, Princess Leia is walking. :-)She is just over 11 months old, so the boys both beat her by about a month.

our first sunflower

The boys helped me plant some herbs and sunflowers a few months ago, and we have been watching them grow...yesterday Lincoln was the first to spot our first sunflower in bloom. He was so proud and excited to show me. Our herbs haven't done that well, due to my lack of watering and nurturing (no green thumb here).
