Hey Friends!
We've been battling sickness in this house since Christmas. I took the boys urgent care last Thursday night since nothing was making them better. Thank God I did. They both had RSV and Lincoln had an ear infection! Thankfully, they're both getting better and acting like themselves. They still have a runny nose and cough, but their appetite is back up and they're playing like crazy.
So, I've made the decision to go back to Grad School! EEEKK!! I'm in the process of completing the application and getting all of my transcripts and recommendation letters in order. I'll keep you posted. I'm excited to go back but I'm going to miss being at home with my babies! But, this will be good. My boys need to know that anything is possible and that there's nothing they can't do. Hopefully Jesse and I are setting that example for them.
SO, I've came up with several projects to do this year. I've been stalking Pinterest and coming up with decorating ideas for our house. I still haven't gotten all this house looking the way I want it to. You'd think that I would have done that when we moved in... but I was pregnant and tired and just didn't have the time. But now, I'm making it a mission to get this house the way I want it. It's going to take some time and I'm going to do room by room. That way I don't get overwhelmed and our bank account doesn't suffer too much in the process. I have all these ideas and I can't wait to make them come to life!
My next project is making photo books with all of the pictures that are stored on our computer. My plan is to do one for each of the boys' first year of life. I've already started on Gabe's and am almost done with it. Obviously, Lincoln isn't a year old yet, so we won't be ordering his any time soon. haha. I plan on making Gabe another book with pictures from his 1st birthday and up. It's taking me some time to get all of our pictures uploaded. I used Snapfish since most of my pics were already uploaded to it. My laptop is still Out of Order- so I'm going to have to wait until it gets fixed to completely finish the books. There are a lot of pictures on my computer that I need to upload still. I still have to order the book I made from our wedding. Man, it'll be 3 years this month and I still haven't ordered it. Fail. haha.
Another project is converting this blog into a book to print for us to keep. As I've always said, I intend for this blog to primarily be for my kids- to be like a baby book for them. I want them to have their life and memories documented forever. So, I've started the process of converting the first year of this blog to a book. I still have A LOT of editing to do- to make sure all of the pictures look right and are in the right post. I plan on doing a year or so at a time for each made. I started this blog in April 2011. The first book will be April 2011-December 2012. The next will be Jan 2013-December 2013... and so on. As you can probably imagine, this isn't cheap to do. So, getting one at a time will be the best bet. haha.
Well, it's about time for me to head to bed. My 2 little boys like to get up extra early!

BATMOBILE
Hello Dear Friends!
So much has happened since I've last updated! So we'll start from the beginning!
Two weeks ago my little boy took started standing on his own and took his first step! YAY! We are so, so proud of him! We clap for him everytime he does it- so now when he does it, He claps too! It's so cute!
What else has my little man discovered? Well, he found the toilet. Yes, that was fun! I was in the bathroom with him getting ready and I look over and he has his hands in the toilet. Needless to say, we went straight to bath time! haha. He's been walking with his toys EVERYWHERE. He's figured out how doors open and close. Hence the reason- all of our doors remain closed now. He found the cabinets in the kitchen and figured out that he can literally take everything out of them. haha. That's always fun too! So now we have a gates up to keep our little man in the living room. OH & we also have a small toy store in our home as well. I'm afraid to say that my child is SPOILED! Seriously, too many toys...but that's ok because he LOVES it!
Oh & some BIG news... Gabe now has his very own BATMOBILE! Yes, that's right... a BATMOBILE! I found the idea on Pinterest and made it a mission to make him one. I got lucky when a lady offered me the car for free- so with a little spray paint and hardwork I finished it in one day! It's SO SO SO cute!
You all know about those Facebook pages where you can post and buy items for sell? Well, here lately I've been doing a lot of shopping on those sites! I love it! Especially for things for Gabe. I mean, let's face it- kids don't wear their clothes for that long- so getting them cheaper is always a good thing. I've had really good luck with finding things for Gabe on these pages- All of the clothes and toys that I've found have all been in great condition. Well, besides the car for the batmobile- but let's face it, it cleaned up nicely...and it was free. I've found several toys for Gabe that are like new- that brand new would retail for about $40+ dollars- that I've gotten for less than $10. Seriously!? How much better does that get!? Anyway, my point is- I love these sites- and have recently become slightly addicted to shopping for my little man on them. Haha.
Well Friends, that's about it for tonight. Here's some pictures... ENJOY! :)

Hello friends!
I'd like to share one of my new addictions with you all today. PINTEREST! Pinterest is a growing site that many people are starting to join and pin their favorite things, craft ideas, photo ideas, etc. I've been "pinning" for a couple of months now. I love this site because it gives you soooo many craft ideas and home ideas. As well as ideas for things I'd like to do for Gabe. I've decided that over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some of my favorite "pins" with you all. Most of my pins are craft ideas that someday I swear I am going to get around to trying.
So, today I'm going to share some of my favorite craft ideas for the home and for Gabe! You can follow me on Pinterest as well!
