If You Need A Laugh...

Funniest video ever! 

If you are pregnant or have ever been pregnant, you will love this!

I removed the actual video because it goes off on it's own and it was annoying me every time I would open my blog!

I blame the camera

for my lack of blogging. I'm hoping Best Buy calls me SOOOON.

So until then, here are some life moments via the iphone!

I made this yummy dessert earlier in the week. I have this pinned as "the hubs is going to flip" because he loves chocolate and peanut butter so much. I was right!


It's chocolate, peanut butter, and graham crackers - how could you not love that combo?!


(By the way, I have NO idea why these images are so gigantic. This is the first time I've ever uploaded pictures to blogger straight from my iphone - I know, I'm so behind the times - and it just made them this way. At least you get a REALLY big close up of a yummy treat!)


Liam has started reaching new heights with his climbing skills! I'm relieved to say he hasn't figured out how to climb up onto actual furniture yet.


I love the PicFrame app. I think I've mentioned it before? Anyway, I took these pictures of Liam during lunch today. He was giving me sweet faces...and then there's the last one. Ha!



The day after Valentine's I went to Target and got a bunch of cute decorations for 50% off. Valentine's party at my house next year! Who's coming??


Liam has decided when his hands are full it's no big deal. He says, "That's what my mouth is for!"


Liam got his first climbing/cruising injury this past weekend. I'm surprised it took nearly a month for a real spill to happen, but happen it did. Poor thing fell in the tub and got a bruise and a knot. It's only been 3 days though and it's now completely gone!


I took this little nugget for a wagon ride (the weather has been BEYOND amazing here, sorry Northerners!) and this is how he rode most of the trip. Except imagine him sipping on a sippy cup too, totally relaxed!


I was at HomeGoods the other day and was drooling over these nautical pillows! I'm picturing one resting in the cute little adirondack chair my mom got for Liam. I can't wait for summer!


And speaking of pillow-fever, I strolled around with this one in my cart for awhile. I couldn't decide where exactly it would go, so sadly it made it's way back to the shelf :(

I did end up with two books for Liam, socks for Liam, and eating utensils for Liam though. Hmmm....putting away things I want and buying things for my child?? Welcome to motherhood I guess!


I picked up this book for Liam at Half Price Books the other day too. I just love nursery rhymes, but I tend to only know the first few lines and then trail off or make up an ending. Now I know what I'm doing!


Isn't this so cute? These two are like two peas in a pod! Last week, my friend Tracey and I got our cricut on (I seriously need one of those by the way!) while Max and Liam crawled all over the house together. I think they're trying to scheme a way through the baby gate here!

And last but not least...

My dad and I did some painting today!

This $15 estate sale find by my mom was transformed into...



Ta-daa!


The pictures make the highchair look a little lighter and brighter than it really is in person, but I LOVE it so much and can't wait for the birthday boy to use it!

We have pictures in about two weeks and I'm envisioning something like this...




So adorable!

Oh, and I can't WAIT to reveal our weekend project I hinted about in my last post, BUT I have to wait until I get my camera back because the iphone just doesn't do it justice! SORRY!

Misc. Monday - Our Weekends

I forgot to post these, but LAST weekend my mom came over and brought Liam some Valentine goodies! She got him some summer clothes, sandals, and sunshades. She also brought him some heart-shaped marshmallows that he loved!


A present for me??!


Don't mind if I do!



And of course the tissue paper was a big hit!



Thank you Yaya!

Also last weekend Will made spaghetti and meatballs from scratch. As in meatballs, sauce, and noodles! He got the KitchenAid pasta attachment recently and has been patiently waiting for a free day to make it because it does take all day. The sauce is really what takes the longest. I know I've mentioned before on here that Will likes to cook, and he's REALLY good. It was the best spaghetti I've ever had! We had his parents over to eat too. Will had a little surprise about the meatballs he didn't tell them about until the end - they were buffalo meatballs. Sounds weird, but they were soooo good!


Will took a 4 day weekend this weekend so I feel like he's been home forever - I love it!

Thursday night was our Friday so we went out to dinner, ran to Wal-Mart for some cleaning supplies and bath toys for Liam , and had our first Redbox experience. I can't believe what I was missing out on - Redbox is awesome!


Friday we headed to the hospital to visit my Papaw who had to spend the night there for some tests, but he's fine! Then my mom babysat Liam while Will and I went to see The Vow and out to lunch. I really liked The Vow, and I didn't know it was inspired by a true story!

Friday night we took a trip to Lowe's for some craft supplies (pics soon - it's almost finished!) and then just hung out at home.

When we got home on Friday, Liam had a package waiting for him. His ABC book I made came in, and it is so adorable!


This is the book I mentioned I ordered from PaperCoterie.com and got it for only $9. I also ordered a memory box for his keepsakes.

Saturday the boys spent the morning doing what boys do - building forts and running around the house in scooters really fast! We also ran a few errands including handing my camera over to Best Buy for a week because Liam accidentally knocked it off the desk and the auto-focus won't work. Thank goodness for insurance :)




Saturday night Liam went to stay with Will's parents while we went on a belated Valentine's date. We went to Pappas Bros. Steakhouse and it was delicious! We spent over two hours just enjoying each others company, baby free. It was nice, but I missed my little man by the time we got back!


Will's mom sent us this picture. Liam was playing with her tupperware and thought it was a cup so he tried to take a drink!

Sunday we had church, sunday school, lunch at Will's parents house, home for a nap, bible study for me, and then dinner and another Redbox! Liam got promoted this week and I was nervous how he would do because he was pretty close with his old teachers, but he did great! He played the whole time and only cried when I came to pick him up. He always cries when he sees me and I don't immediately scoop him up. I was just grabbing his diaper bag first - I'm such a mean mama!

Today we are putting the finishing touches on our weekend project, and if the weather is as nice as it's supposed to be then we are taking a nice long walk!


Here's a sneak peak of our little project. Can you tell what it is?

I also want to clean out the cabinets under our kitchen sink with all the cleaning supplies. I want to get it nice and organized and then lock it up! Liam hasn't discovered the kitchen cabinets yet, but I'm sure it will come soon.

I would loooove for it to look something like these when I'm done...

And I have to add a short video of Liam's latest trick. He started making kissy sounds! I could just eat him up I love it so much!


Happy President's Day!
Enjoy the day off...if you have it :)

WILW!

WILW with Jamie!

I love wagon rides through the house when it's too cold to go outside!





I love watching Liam listen to the teacher and play with his buddies at Baby Bounce!


I LOVE this no carb pizza recipe! It is so delicious!


I love how great Liam slept last night! He did wake up once around 4, but put himself back to sleep after just a few minutes! Hallelujah!


Liam passed out on me in the funniest position yesterday while we were relaxing on the couch. Silly boy!

Happy Wednesday!

Monday Stuff.

Linking up with Carissa!

Thank you for all the encouragement and advice from my last post. Things are still rough in the sleep department, but hopefully we'll turn a corner soon!

This weekend was just about as low-key as it gets. Except for church, a superbowl party, and grocery shopping, we basically didn't leave the house. We didn't go out to eat, we didn't run errands, and Will played with Liam a lot so I could get stuff done.


Playing!

Liam has turned into a crawling and climbing machine this past week! He can pull up on anything and can now cruise from furniture to furniture. He'll even walk with his walker over to a piece of furniture to grab onto it. Usually it's the couch and usually because there's a dog snoozing on it he wants to mess with :)


"Helping" Daddy with the dishes!

Speaking of Liam and dogs - now that he's mobile I think they finally realize he's "alive" haha. Toula is our feisty one and here she is trying to get him to play. He thinks she is just hilarious!


I worked on a lot of birthday stuff this weekend and finalized Liam's birthday invitation. I'm having so much fun putting together everything! I was originally just going to buy pre-made stuff from Etsy, but I really enjoy doing it myself.

The current state of my dining room table:



We had a lot of fun at our sunday school class Super Bowl party last night. Neither Will nor I could have cared less about either team playing, so we basically went for the food and social aspect of the evening. I stayed downstairs with the babies and ladies while Will stayed upstairs with the men and the pool table. We brought veggie pizza (which is not nearly as healthy as it sounds but soo delicious) and rice crispy treats. I had been craving rice crispy treats for like a month now, so I was happy to finally have an excuse to make some!



These images were both taken from Google, but you get the idea.

Super Bowl babies!


Liam, Layla, & Mallory

And I really have no words for this last picture except to say that Liam has learned how to open the puffs container...


Happy Monday!
