A few things…

Let’s see…what have we been up to? Not much really…hence the reason why I haven’t blogged lately. But here are just a few..

1. Preston turned 17 months old…I skipped a long heartfelt post this time b/c not too much has changed other than the fact that he had his 1st black eye, busted lip and pretty rough sinus infection. He did get cuter though…if that’s even possible! I know i’m biased!

I found him like this the other day and couldn’t resist.

2. Some how Timmy and I got the “Pink eye!”  He caught it first so I know I got it from him but luckily none of the kids got it!  It could be due to the fact that I went home right after I found out and scrubbed the house and then put purell on every corner.  I was determined to keep it “under control!”

Sorry, I don’t have a yucky picture of me with it. I purposely avoided the camera last week. Although it was quite nice not wearing any makeup!

3. What’s that I hear…Bieber Bieber Bieber…someone in the house caught Bieber fever and it’s not me or the kids. *cough cough TIMMY cough cough*

justin_bieberOk….so we were at Target and I saw Justin Bieber’s new cd in Timmy’s hand…I stopped dead in my tracks and asked him what he was doing. He still claims he bought it for the kids since he’s all the “rage” right now he just KNEW they would eventually catch the “FEVER.” mmmkay!

4. I’ve had a headache consistently since um the 1st day of spring! While I LOVE the weather, I despise the allergies! Runny nose, constant sneezing, itchy watery eyes and HEADACHES! Fun stuff!

5. I bought a chore chart for Ariel and Nicholas and surprisingly it has worked out beautifully!  They come home from school, do their homework and then start their chores with zero complaining! The only complaining I did hear was that Nicholas wants to be the ONLY one to take out trash b/c that’s HIS chore…ok son..I don’t think Ariel is going to argue with you!

It’s so nice to come home and see the house clean! And since it’s been so nice out lately, they play outside until we say so and spend less time in front of the tv! Makes me a VERY happy Jamie! 

6. We attempted spring pictures this past weekend. I’m pretty pleased with some shots but Preston just wasn’t in the mood!  We went to the State House since the flowers are always so pretty in the spring but they weren’t 100% in bloom yet. It almost started raining on us so we left after about 30 minutes. We might take them to the botanical gardens in a few weeks and try for more pictures in front of all the flowers.

Here are just a few of my favorites…

1233-2

1249-2

  Um yeah…So that was more than a few. My bad! 

Well, that seems to be it for now. If I think of anything else, I promise to post!

I love this post!

Yay for you getting the kids chore charts!! I hope it continues to go well and they stick with it too. Whenever Hanna and Joe start slacking I try to be mean and when that doesn't work:-), I redo their chores and that makes them get back on track.

Yes, Preston looks absolutely adorable in that picture!! He is so precious Jamie!

I think your pictures turned out great! You got great shots of everyone and some fun ones too. I love the ones of you and Timmy with Preston.

That is so funny about Timmy and his new CD:-).

I hope you have a great week!!

Forgot to say, I love the kids outfits with the flowers in the background--the colors go together perfectly.

I also forgot to say I really, really like your new blog design. It's perfect for Spring and for the pictures you are using in the header and sidebar too! You did a great job!

The kids look so good! Love that pic of Nicholas leaning and the dimples are killer! Ariel is turning into such a pretty pre-teen (lucky her- I guess she skips that awkward phase-no fair btw) and of course I could eat Preston like a chocolate bar!

I'm new here at your blog, and I just love finding a blog where you just feel right at home. Your's is like that! Feels as if I can make myself a good cup of coffee, curl up in front of my laptop and just devour every post!

I love that pic of Preston asleep on the couch! Don't you just love walking in on your kiddos doing something so cute and adorable!

Wonderful photos as well of your family. Have a blessed easter / passover!

Love the new pics! And I love your new blog design! One of these days I'll really figure it out and be able to change mine as often as you do yours. As for now, it takes me so long to change it up that I have to leave it for several months to make it worth it!
