Beach

Kevin recently took up surfing and every time he leaves the house Drew cries that he wants to go surfing too, so as a special Friday treat we decided to tag along...we brought a few toys to play with in the sand - and we brought along little brother for his first time at the beach! It was pretty uneventful - but a good time was had by all - Daddy even caught a couple of waves!!!

My Boys

So it's been a pretty uneventful week at our house - so far- I hope it stays that way!!! Colt and I are going to have a belated birthday lunch with our friend April today - we are excited to see her because it's been a while!

For those of you who don't know - having kids of the same gender is really nice -much cheaper too! Not that it's something you have a choice over...Colt gets to wear all of Drew's old baby clothes and Drew gets a kick out of knowing that Colt is wearing his clothes...anyway - they have a pair of pajamas or jamas as Drew calls them with a little alien on them and a cute matching hat...here are pics of both boys in the pj's....and a pic of big brother ready for school - but not ready to take pictures!!!

Getting My Hair Did

This is the excitement of my week! Those who know me well, know that I love getting my hair done! However, being on maternity leave means money is tight - and around here you pay an arm and a leg and often have to put your first born down as collateral to get your hair done! (Just kidding - about the first born part - but it is pretty expensive!) So recently - my mom started going to a guy who does her cut, color and highlights for $45 and it looks really good!!! So I decided to try him out today - I'm excited to get something done - it's been a while!

With that said - while I am getting my hair done - Gran Gran is going to have her first adventure watching the boys! This will be a change for her seeing as how she just raised me - one little girl! I hope they behave so that she wants to keep them again!!!

Nothing Much

Nothing too exciting has happened here in our parts the last few days. On Saturday my mom and I took the boys to a birthday part at the Kids Jungle in Jungle Rapids - naturally Colt just slept - but Drew had lots of fun! He was running around like crazy and having such a good time. After the party he decided to spend the night with Gran Gran - so only having one kid at home made it a pretty relaxing evening for me and Kevin!

Today Colt and I ventured downtown to meet my friend Lori for lunch - we went to Courthouse Cafe - which for the record has an amazing grilled cheese! :) Afterwards we went in PPD for a few and Colt got to meet lots of fun people - who I miss seeing - I can't say I miss work - but I do miss some of the friendly faces! Though I'm no where near ready to go back! So we don't have much going on - but I thought I'd post some pics...

Chips for Breakfast?

So - this morning I woke up to Drew trying to open my bedroom door and the sound of a bag crinkling - he tried for about 30 sec, then I hear "Mommy, open you door." I get out of bed and open my door to the sight of my two year old holding a bag of Hint of Lime Tostidos that is almost as big as he is. He has a huge grin across his face and says "I eat chips"...while we all know that he is not supposed to be in the kitchen alone - it was all I could do to hold it in! As always with Drew - I had to laugh...What made him think that chips for breakfast was a good idea - I'm not sure - but it was a funny site to wake up to!

Last night Gran Gran came over and brought Drew a raincoat - he wanted to model it for me - but seeing as how it was bed time - I couldn't get him to put his bubble (pacifier) down....he only uses it at night time - but I can't wait to get rid of it - any ideas are welcome!

Today Colt and I had lunch with Gran Gran - I think it's fun for her and my mother-in-law to be able to bond with him by feeding him - since I am breastfeeding that's a little difficult - so we pumped a bottle for Gran Gran to feed Colt...and lastly - a picture of sweet little Colt! I'm having a lot of fun getting to know this little guy! Now we are off to pick up Drew at daycare!

Blogging

So - apparently everyone has a blog except for me - that's now changing! I am going to give it my best attempt to post all of the little things that happen in our lives - I figure it will be neat to look back at later on. Having a two year old and a newborn it's easy to forget all the little things that go on -and there are lots of little things!!! Hope you enjoy reading about my life as much as I enjoy living it!
