Somewhere over the rainbow...

 

 

We are so tired of this gloomy, rainy and downright depressing weather. I can see the beach somewhere in our near future! I am a sucker for cute beach essentials such as these adorable hats I found at Old Navy. P literally wore his all last summer. Now all we need is some sunshine and sand!

 

Who's ready for the beach??

I could eat them up.

 

 

Flashback to last year.

Happy weekend!

Be my Monster!

 

 

 

Happy Valentine's Day to my sweet boys!

 

Presley's basket was filled with all his favs...A new Peter Pan movie, coloring books, lots of candy, superhero candy and socks, under armour tshirts, robots, ninjas, and the list goes on. He loved the 2 balloons the most though. Go figure.

 

 

 

This is sweet Elliott's first Valentine's Day. He had a ball digging in his bucket. He dove right in for the toys! He had more practical things like a nuby, cute bib, clothes, and sippy cups. ;)

 

Their morning surprise!

Presley's Valentine happies....a box of colors and cute cards.

 

Elliott's V day happies...bubbles and a cute card.

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

God Bless Elliott.

We celebrated Elliott's baptism January 6th. This day meant so much to me. I loved seeing Presley help Brother Tim out with the baptizing of sweet Elliott. Two precious boys that love God.

 

Children are a gift from the Lord, a child is a reward from Him. --The Bible, Psalm 127:3

 

Sweet treats for the lunch afterwards.

 Precious moment.

 This boy loves sweets!

 Sweet friends who helped Elliott celebrate this special day!

This baby slept through his lunch and finally woke up with the rosiest cheeks!

 Happy baby.

 

Finally ditched the dressy clothes and ready to play!

Where do the days go?

I'm not going to lie, it's so hard for me to blog these days. I have to make myself do it. I also keep thinking I am going to continue but go private but at the pace I am going now, that may take forever. There is so much to catch you all up on. Where do I begin?

 

Elliott is growing like a weed. Literally. He is growing at a rapid speed it seems. I try to soak it up as much as I can. I now realize that these sweet moments quickly go by. It seems like yesterday I was leaving this blog to be off for a while to have him and now we are approaching 7 months. Let me tell you the quickest way to measure one's life frame...have a child. You don't realize where the days go until you do. I saw this quote recently and thought it was so true:

The days are long but the years are short.

 

While I have been away:

Elliott has learned to roll over and push up. He loves his Baby Einstein DVDs and has a fit over toys.

He started saying "da-da" and now will occasionally say "mama." I'll take what I can get.

He is the happiest baby on the block. No, seriously. He is such a happy & easy going fella.

He is eating 2 foods at lunch and dinner. Loves his food!

He sleeps from 7:30-7:00. Such a good sleeper. Finally.

 

 

It seems that I skipped over Christmas so here are a few quick pics from the Holidays.

 

 

Visit with Santa.

 

Safe to say P loved his Christmas!

 

His priceless face on Christmas morning!

 

My boys.

Leap pad!

 

A new big boy ride!

 

Fun with friends!

 

 

Happy New Year!

Little love bug.

 

 

We have tested out the swing...

 

and played in our johnny jump.

 

Some days the weather is perfect so we rush outside to play.

 

These two love each other and Presley could not be a better big brother. E is super lucky.

 

 

 

 We played hooky and spent the day together at the park. Here is my almost 4 year old. Geeze, where do the days go? Such a sweet and funny little boy.

Elliott playing at the park. 6 months old.

I am one blessed and happy mommy!

 

 

 

Happy Tuesday.
