Have I Mentioned My Kids Are Obsessed With Dinosaurs?

Jayson made the kids dinosaur masks, then Ambree painted them. They wear them all the time.

Sharp Tooth and Sarah, aka (T. Rex and Triceratops)

She can't say Triceratops, so she always says "My favorite Dinosaur."

This little Sharp tooth is so scary. I love how he walks like a dinosaur by bringing his knees up high.

We love to find dinosaur books at the library too.

She sneaks down from her quiet time with her mask on hoping to scare me almost daily. I am a very good actress, I get scared every time.

A Dinosaur Party

Revery turns 2!

Jayson made Revery volcano dinosaur cake, complete with liquid hot magma eruption!

We had a great little BBQ before with family

Ambree was so cute, when she saw me putting out the presents she ran upstairs, found some random toys and wrapped them all by herself to give to him.

He has been using the potty for several months now, so I thought we better get him some big boy pants and get serious!

We saved the best for last. Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Zane gave him this remote control dinosaur. He loved it, unless it was coming after him, then he freaked out. I can't blame him, it looks pretty real.

Oh Canon Boy

So Cute,

So Round,

And Cuddly,

Oh Canon Boy, there is no one we love such as YOU!
2 Months

Race for the Cure

Ambree had to walk under all the balloon arches.

Revery would not let go of his Nana,

Until he saw everyone walking/jogging. Then he wanted to get down and run. He did great until he saw a pine-cone and have to pick it up. I was amazed at how much he actually did run!

My cute mom and sister I talked into coming with me. They did great and we had a blast.

What a fun day!

We Are So Glad Our Papa is Here!

Our Papa joined Nana in April, now that he is settled we are putting him to work.

Thanks Dad for my cute bench! You are amazing! I love it!

So do the kids!

The kids helped me plant these tulips a couple of weeks ago, and they are finally blooming!

I have wanted to try cloth diapers since Ambree, but being a working mom I decided against it. Then with Revery, I thought I can't do cloth diapers until I have a new washer and dryer. Well, our washer died at Christmas, so I HAD to get the electrolux set I had be eyeballing for months. I hate when that happens! Now that we have two critters in diapers we added up how much we were spending on diapers in a month. It was over $100 just on newborn diapers. So we decided to take the plunge! (With 3 kids under 4 I have so much spare time to do extra laundry, right?)

Check out http://www.gdiapers.com/gdiapers101 for more info on gdiapers. It is a big investment up front, but I am so excited about the money we will save, plus helping out old Mother Earth isn't too shabby either! Happy early Earth Day! (April 22)

Here are my little 'g' boys!

When I first put these on Rev I laughed my guts out, because I thought he looked like Mowgli (Jungle book).

I love this bright blue! My Canon in 'g'.

After a week, I think I have a system down, so it isn't too bad.

Aren't they cute?

Canon in D

Pachelbel's Canon is a complex work which merges several distinct forms of music. The canon is a polyphonic form in which several voices play the same music, only enter one by one, each after a delay. In Pachelbel's piece, there are three voices engaged in canon

"There Isn't A Word Yet, For Old Friends Who Just Met"

Big Brother Revery! They are going to be the best buddies! I can't believe how much Revery loves him already. He wants to hold him all the time and insists he has his binky. He looks at him in the bassinet and says, "Peek-a-boo."

Big Sister Ambree! I don't think she realizes that she is out numbered now. She is very helpful and loves to nuzzle him.

Ambree said were where a full family now.
It definitely feels that way.
We feel so blessed to have another beautiful healthy baby in our lives. Let the adventures begin!
