Baby Shoes

Today was full of swimming for the boys. We were a little sad to realize that the end of summer is near. The days are still nice and warm but the weather is dropping a lot at night. Pool isn't keeping its temp. Was a chilly 81 degrees today. Poor Dylan didn't want to put more then his feet in most of the day. Haha :) Aidan didn't mind the cold water at all! He had fun jumping and splashing around.
This weekend my mom has been working on these cute felt shoes! I love them. They should be listed on Etsy very soon!

I've been making little shoes out of cotton fabric :) Wish I could see them on little baby feet! They'll also be on Etsy before the end of the week.

Three years married today :)


We're not doing anything special...but at least we're together
(without kids)
And that's perfect for me.
Love you babe!

New Car!

We got a new (used) car tonight! Woohoo!

Remember how I wrote that we were trying for a third baby? Well for a while I was thinking "is our car really big enough for that?" (We had a Ford Escape) Well after we found out that Dylan had CAS we decided to hold off on trying for a new baby. We wanted to get a feel for how therapy would go. On top of that he's locked in for twice a week, every week, and you can't miss that. At all! My pregnancies are bad! Really bad. Throwing up, not being able to function at all for a few months. So the thought of feeling that bad and having no choice but to drag myself out and drive for over an hour twice a week...yeah.


Dylan had his first speech therapy session. And wow 30 minutes goes by fast! He treated Kristen just like he does me. Ignores what she's trying to teach and just demands to play with toys. So we're going to have to find a way to teach while playing. While we were leaving the first session I kept telling him to say "bye bye" Of course he doesn't, never has, but that doesn't stop me from trying to get him to say it. Well wouldn't you know, after we were in the car and driving off I told him to say it one more time...AND HE DID! HE SAID BYE BYE! Like with the b and everything! I was so proud of him. We said it too each other about 5 times and then he stopped and it hasn't come back again. It was a nice surprise and made my afternoon :)


Anyway, back on point. We didn't buy this car right away because of more kids. Tho that is for sure something that will be great later on down the road. We live in southern California. Today it was 110. My poor babies are in the back seat of the car with no a/c vents! It gets hot! So the nice thing about a third row of seats is that there are rear a/c vents. I feel so much better about putting the boys back there now! And it'll be nice to be able to say "We can all go in my car!" Instead of saying "Well if you want to try and squeeze between the two car seats in the back...but maybe taking two cars is better..." Haha I know not big reasons...but hey they're mine!


The car we found and I'm now in love with is the Dodge Durango! I really didn't think that would be a first choice for me but the more I saw it the more I liked it. I even went up to some stranger while we were out today for Dylan's hearing test and asked her how she liked hers lol! It's great. Really great! The only thing that scares me is the MPG it gets. Ouch! Good thing we don't drive around so much!


Aidan was really sad leaving the Escape behind. And part of me was really sad too. The weekend that we brought Aidan home from the hospital my husband and mom went out and bought me a new car. They picked it out and everything since I was at home recovering from a c-section. They wanted me to have a family size car that was reliable. And I have nothing but GREAT things to say about that car! I've always known how long we've had that car since I can line it up right to how old Aidan is :) That car will be missed! Never had a single problem with it. I really hope it goes to a good family next.

Bye-Bye Escape!

Needed Today

Had a MUCH better day :) Will blog and post pictures tomorrow. Way too tired for tonight.



Hope I don't dream about these guys! Good night :)

Todays Pictures

I've been having this problem lately. Through out the day I keep thinking "Oh I should blog about this!" and run and grab the camera. This happens about 4 or 5 times a day. And honestly hardly any of it makes it into the posts I do. So today is filled with my "Oh I should blog about this!" pictures.

Here's our little Dylan do. He decided that once he was free from his crib this morning that he'd crawl into his closet and play with whatever toys he could find. Which is cute. But then he tripped and fell while walking in there. I didn't see blood so all was fine. Till I realized he had this bruise on his cheek. Can't really see it from the picture, but its there. Only reason I thought I'd get this photo is because of Aidan.

Yesterday Aidan and Mommy (me) got in pretty big fight. I screamed, he screamed, I screamed louder and told him to get up to his room. Aidan then decides to let me know how really upset he is at me by slamming his bedroom door. Well...poor little Aidan slammed that door with all his strength right on his thumb. OUCH! And because he was in trouble he didn't come downstairs...just screamed from his bedroom. I thought just because he was still upset with me lol A few minutes later I asked him to come downstairs to get his shoes on because we were leaving. I've never seen that much tears coming from him. His shirt was soaked! Pools of tears on his neck. This picture is from this morning and it really doesn't do it justice on how bad it was yesterday. Poor kid. Thankfully the swelling did go down and so did the nasty purple color.

This was our "school" time this morning. I've decided not to put Aidan in preschool and try to teach him what he needs to know at home. What can I say? I love having our family together. With Charles working nights its not the easiest to get our family time. He'll be in public school soon enough and we don't want to let go of him just yet. Hey can you work on your ABC's while wearing just your cool batman boxers at preschool?! I think not! Even though it's probably not the easiest to get things done when your little brother is crawling over the table to get whatever he can get his hands on. :) I wouldn't trade this close family time for anything.

This BIG Preschool sticker book has been a favorite for Aidan. $9.99 at Costco!

Look what we just noticed is growing in the backyard! Heck ya! We're excited and can't wait! I was starting to think that the tree wouldn't make any this year.

Aidan really enjoyed searching for them.

I added all the pictures that I took today. Tomorrow I'll add the pictures of the crafts I've been working on :)
