dear mr. sawyer james,

why are you so fat?

i mean, seriously.

i went to get you dressed this morning and grabbed a shirt meant for a ONE YEAR OLD only to find that the sleeves were already a little short on your chubby wrists!



don't worry. it's not your fault you're such a fatty magoo... i'll manage to somehow love you anyway!



love,

your mom (a.k.a. "the lady that feeds you")

out with the old...

it seems like this house has been one project after another, because well... it has been!

the light fixture that hung over our table was okay, but it wasn't really my style and i'm not a huge fan of lights that hang from chains so i found this beauty on overstock.com for only $55!

once again, the handy husband put it together for me! he really is worth having around!

{ don't mind the inch thick layer of dust on the old fixture! }









up next... convincing the husband that these chairs would look awesome in the kitchen

{ 6 months }

some special deliveries

our poor dishwasher was on it's last leg, and our other appliances were getting pretty nasty, so we decided it was time get some new ones!

i'm in HEAVEN!


also, about an hour after the appliance delivery men left, i had a flower man stop by my house and drop these beauties off!


thanks thomas, they made my day! i love you!

valentines

a lot of you have probably already seen this cute valentine idea, but i thought it was so fun and decided to do them for miss's school valentine party.

you basically just snap a picture of your kid holding a fist out and then cut a slit on the top and bottom of their hand and slide a sucker through!

easy & cute!

go jazz go!

a neighbor of ours had three extra tickets to the jazz game last night, so we thought it'd be fun to have miss tag along.

her favorite part... the "time-out" entertainment. you know, when they pull people from the crowd during time-outs and have them do silly contests. she thought they were hilarious.

we had fun.





two minutes out of the parking lot...

it was bound to happen...

... eventually one of my kids was going to get their hands on some scissors and cut their hair!

elli found some "kid friendly" scissors and went to town.

she now has an awesome mini rooster tail on the top of her head and a little bit of the front missing.

oh well, i guess it could have been a lot worse!
