time for presents ...

he got a whole box of fun star wars toys from us, 

thanks to an awesome deal daddy found online!

so exciting!

I love that little face!

awww, his sweet little face - he looks like his daddy!

I think this was one of his gifts from Albuquerque!

I guess I forgot to get pics of him opening those!

he's all better ...

I'll spare you the details ... but Liam was sick on Thursday, poor

guy!  the hubby was out of town wednesday/thursday and so

I had been trying to get tons done while he was away!

organizing, cleaning - I barely sat down for two days!  

having a little one sick just added more to do - but that's ok!

friday he was ok - he had a quiet day and this pic

is of him when he fell asleep!  he took a great nap that day,

and I'm happy to say that today he's all better!

lil punkin ...

I was working on an order this week and was so

happy to get it done - only to realize I had flubbed up!

I fixed it, but it wasn't to the standards I

wanted ... so I started over!  however, Zoey has

the benefit of getting my flubs - lol!

it may actually be a bit small for her, but it

works and it was super cute paired with the little

leggings Nana & Grandaddy sent her

for her birthday!

four years old!

 what an expression!!!

this was February 12, Liam's birthday!

I told him I had to take a few pics of him now that he was four,

I know - I still haven't done any of the kids "official" 

b-day pics, and Annicka's birthday was three months ago!  but I

still get some pics of some sort of the actual day just

so I can say that I do have pics of them ON their birthday!

so, anyway, he was being a silly little boy ... and that worked

just fine to show how my now four year old boy was

the morning of his birthday!!!

quotes of the week ...

so, I'm working on this healthy eating thing (I'm writing this the day after being on a five day juice diet) with the kiddos too, but Liam insisted on goldfish for breakfast!  not that it's much better - but I told him he needed a cereal bar, he thought both was the option for him.  so, I went with it - he also decided to add a banana ... which I said was fine as well!  so, there he sat with his bowl of goldfish, cereal bar, and banana ... eating away!  daddy comes down stairs and Liam proclaims, "mama gave me everything I want"!  my hubby started laughing and I didn't know why (I hadn't heard Liam say that) and he told me what he had said, and by this time Liam was listing what was in his bowl!  ha ha ha, so funny!

Zoey's drawer ...

I'm sure I've mentioned that Zoey is quite the climber (in fact, she's

been attempting to climb high on the couch and intentionally fall off - not

so fun for mama, gotta really be on guard and ready to grab her) ... 

well, this drawer has kind of become Zoey's, because she's constantly

opening it and either taking out the contents (her diapers and wipes) and then

sometimes putting them back in OR she's climbing into the drawer!

what a silly little goose!

Zoey ...

just a little saturday morning action from Zoey ...

she loves climbing into the blocks bucket!

she can get out too!

(and don't worry - those outlets are plugged now)

she loves to get a hold of our laptop - but this day

daddy gave her one of her own ... she loved it!

I love this one!!!
