I Can’t Believe it’s Not……Saturday

Baby Joey, Family Fun, Pictures
It really feels like it should be Saturday night to me... Kevin forgot that he had today off for "Good Friday." So when I called him at work at about 4 yesterday he had a nice surprise for me, as it was for him earlier in the day when it was brought to his attention. It was really nice to realize that he'd be home today, but because he's been home it's felt a lot more like a Saturday than a Friday. So I keep gearing up for church in the morning, but we have one more day first, hahaha. This morning we went to play group's Easter Egg hunt and had a great time. Tara B. made some beautiful Easter Bunny cakes that were so adorable! AND Yummy! Other…

Grin and Owwie pics

Aiden, Baby Joey, Pictures
Here's a pic of Joey grinning for me, sweet little guy! And our poor Aiden, he ran into an open cupboard lastnight, so on top of his stuff on the right side (notice that it's developed into a mild black eye as well?) he has a vertical knot on the left side of his forehead... Poor kid! I'm now REALLY glad that I got pics of them last week in their Easter outfits.

What happens when…?

Aiden, Pictures
You finally feel like you can sit down and breath? Everything blows up. I lay down on the couch to nurse Joey at about 11:30 this morning, Aiden was playing happily with a few mega blocks next to the entertainment center, and Michael was entertaining himself back in their room. Joey had finished and nodded off to dreamland, and I was just getting ready to carefully move him to the swing and take a break, make lunch, and clean the living room. Michael (in true Steele boy fashion) came running out of the bedroom. As he passed between Aiden and the entertainment center, he tripped/yanked/something on the cord for the game cube controller still attached to the Wii from last nights games... The Wii came crashing down on Aiden's head.…

Thanks to my Readers and an Aiden funny

Aiden, Kevin and I, Pictures
And BIGGER thanks to those who comment. It TOTALLY makes my day when I see that there's a comment in moderation. (((HUGS))) Thanks for the comments on my boys, and my photos. :) As a thanks, for the first 5 people to comment on this post, I'll do a photo edit on your own photo. A simple collage, a black and white with coloration on a selected subject (i.e. hat, eyes, flowers), Torn photo edges or water color, vintage vignette, or a name photo collage. Examples~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This happened earlier today, just thought I'd share. I was squatting down to get Joey into his swing, Aiden was trying to get by, and pushed my leg with his foot. I said, "can you say, 'move please?' " A~ "Move peese!" A…

We went on vacation!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Dreams, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures
We went down to the beach and enjoyed a night on the ocean in Surfside Texas. Joey's first vacation! We stayed in a little place called "Cedar Sands Motel" not the nicest place, but not bad for the area and right on the beach. The bathroom was HUGE! We had a kitchenette and a large table with 4 chairs. They even had the Disney Channel. We woke up early (twice, LOL, Michael and Aiden couldn't go back to sleep when Joey woke us up for his 3 AM feeding), and went out and experienced the sunrise. It was breath taking! And not just cause we (mostly Kevin) had to keep running after Aiden. There were these clouds on the horizon that almost looked like a whole island out there between…

Field Day and last day before spring break.

Aiden, Baby Joey, Michael, Pictures
So Aiden sat on Joey today... This morning as we were rushing to get out the door, Aiden was goofing around. Joey was already strapped into his car seat with two cushy blankets on him. Aiden decided to "moon walk" away from me as I way trying to get his pants and shoes on, and well, plop, he landed right in Joey's lap! Kevin and I both jumped, but Joey just sat there watching us like nothing had even happened. Aiden finally cooperated at that point... Today is Michael's field day. They did a bunch of relay races, and it was a lot of fun. It was kinda chilly (for us Texans) and Joey got hungry so we came home early, but we had a lot of fun watching Michael…

Still Recovering and Photography.

Pictures, Venting
My body is still pretty messed up from my fall on Saturday. :( I've just been forced to take it slow a little more than I'd have liked, I was finally picking up speed again and getting back to myself. I'm just hoping I'm back to normal again in a few days. I'm really just so glad I wasn't carrying Joey, that would have been bad. The positive is after a few months on the down kick with photography, I can't get enough of it again. I'm just always thinking how I can capture images again, it feels really nice. Here's a few captures from the last few days.

We Went to IKEA Today

Aiden, Baby Joey, Baby Wearing, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures
Warning: VERY long post. If you wish, just scroll through the pics. :D Yeah, it's a favorite spot. We walked up just as they pulled breakfast off the bar, so we got lunch. Then I dropped Mike off at Smaland. No sooner had I dropped him off and walked upstairs and just started getting going did they page me back... Ugh! Kevin and I gave each other one of those glances, all parents know those glances, and I headed back to get him irritated that in less than 10 minutes he'd managed to get me paged back. As I was heading down the stairs another Mom said, "It's a false alarm, they're all going off, you'll just get a new one." Whohoo! Mike was hopefully NOT in trouble. Sure enough…
