Farm fun!

We had another rocking time at the Art Barn this week!!
(thanks Allison for the picture!)





This is where James fell in love with the bunnies!





Ansley loves Farmer Sue! I think she wants to be Farmer Sue!


James would not leave skipper the bunny alone. When Farmer Sue asked him to bring the wagon James was on it!





Ansley got to hold the lambs leash! And James is still guarding his bunny.


About to get on the hay ride!


Time to paint in the art barn!

A little bit of Pinterest

This week I went to a pinterest party!! So much fun and such a great time with other women! We sampled I think 29 different foods! The next morning at boot camp was sickening!
So I went around the house and took pictures of the fun I have had!



The playroom! The room was split down the middle for decoration purposes.


Boys side is done.


Ansley is still working on some pictures. Her side is a work in progress still.


Laundry/mud room
This is for each kids dirty laundry. I wrote with a visa vi on the front with their names. It has made such a difference.


Wet clothes rod! Right above the machines.


Board for more art work!



My Mother's day present!


My fridge isn't magnetic so I chalk board painted an old pan!


Our initials combined above our bed.


I have done some sewing and gotten some awesome online patterns! Once the basement is back in one piece I will get some pictures up of the outfits!
Love me some pinterest!!

A week in pictures

Ok so I have to add a little bit of text!
We made the best Popsicles thanks to pinterest. We pureed kiwi, blueberries, and strawberries. Heated water and sugar and then split between the three mixtures. My kids loved them!!








Then I battled with American home shield again only to find out it was not the hot water heater but the air conditioner pump. However, I got all of my anger against AHS out from the last run in! We fixed the pump and hopefully have new carpet on the way!


Made it to catch air!!


Playing on the iPad!


Finally found a bath seat that fits those yummy thighs (the front in hooks).


Look at my new toys.


So excited!


This week I started trying to pull up! I have tried to explain to him that he needs to crawl first but I am pretty sure he will follow in his brothers footsteps!


Downtown Norcross!





We have a super hero!


Our new summer hang out! 4 miles away and cheaper than a water park!!





7 days of fun!

7months!!

Henry has learned so much in this past month. He is incredibly interested in his hands. I have caught him waving at himself with the most curious look on his face. He has dropped his dream feed and now sleeps without the nap nanny. He wants so badly to pull up on things. He still doesn't like to be on his belly so I think we may have a walker instead of a crawler!!
I left the boys with my mom today so I could get a couple hours in and I returned to find my baby eating Cheerios. Or so we thought I am pretty sure most of them were stuck to his thighs! Then at dinner I hear my baby chatting it up with the kids.
He started saying baba!! I actually had my video right there! (now if someone will help me figure out my utube account I could post it). I leave Henry with Grandma for a couple hours and he grew up!
His new favorite thing is watching the ice maker put ice into a cup. He gets so excited!
He has also hit the boy stage that causes him to cry whenever anyone else is crying or when James is being tickled!
He is still my dream third child! He sleeps and eats like a champ! And can't get enough of his siblings. Thanks to my friend Kristy he thinks getting in the pool is nap time. He adores his Aunt still and has taken a liking for his Aunt Jenny too!!

Food nets

I have been struggling with getting Henry's feeding schedule under control since introducing food. I think that I have been over feeding him therefore his reflux is worse and his spitting up is too. Today was the first time I have conquered his feeding schedule. I have to give thanks to the lovely Baby Whisperer book. It is my baby bible. And it did me right again. My mom of course reminded me to stick to a schedule. Henry had a great day! He ate and slept like a champ and was right on schedule. He was still spitting up today but it was back to normal and his grunting was reduced!!!
I found these nets that you put food in. Henry loves them. Especially when it has bananas in it! He tries peas tonight and enjoyed chewing them! Such a great idea!









Of course he doesn't sleep exactly until 7 so we are usually and our early and catch up at dinner time!!



Lake Burton Fireworks

This weekend Lake Burton celebrated the Fourth of July early with Fireworks. My parents were able to spend the weekend with us. I think the kids really enjoyed having both of their Grandparents in one place for two days.













Watering the flowers with GranDonna. I wish I had my camera for the finale because GranDonna came back in wet from head to toe. Of course my two stripped off their clothes immediately hearing it was ok!





Thanks Aunt Jenny for the fabulous glow sticks!!















Fireworks!!
