A

New flowers for our precious baby boy, A.

His birthday is coming up this week... Thursday to be exact.

It's hard not to wonder what it'd be like having a two year old thrown in the mix of our family.

But we still rejoice for him and anxiously await the day we get to join him.

It'll be glorious!

365- Days 26-29

Day 26:

Some pretty lil' ribbon I used for a sweet new baby's tutu...

her momma is going to get her pictures taken in it.

Day 27:

Half my obsession....

the other half is ice.
I really have a problem!

Day 28:

My momma gives me her magazines after she's done with them!

I love reading them, but I'm too cheap to buy 'em!

She has subscriptions to all the ones I like so it works out :) hehe!

Day 29:

Cutest baby in a basket :)

He kept crawling away and trying to get into something (can't remember what)

so Ryan stuck him in here!

He loved it!

365- Days 22-25

So I got a little behind on uploading pics...

Day 22:

B made me this... he says it's not finished b/c it needs "a stick thing". I believe he's referring to the perch?! He also wants to paint it. His sweet daddy helped him :)

I'm such a lucky gal to have all this guys lovin' me so much!

Day 23:

Cute supplies came in the mail for a certain little Mr's 1st bday party coming up...

We won't talk about the emotions that has me feeling!

Day 24:
Kindle... I love it... I love reading... I wasn't sure if I'd love it as much as a real book... but I do :)

Day 25:
All three of my boys got hair cuts this evening.
Corbin's first.
Love them all so much my heart could just burst!

365- Day 21

Day 21:

B took this of C.

Brycen had another snow day from school so I took off and stayed home with them.

My mom usually watches them on snow days since she is off work then too, but

it was sooo cold (like below 0) and Bessie the Van doesn't do well in snow and ice and my mom's road wasn't good so we had a snow day at home :)

I haven't worked a full 4 day week (except maybe for like 2) since like October?!

It's spoiling me very much!

365- Days 19 & 20

Day 19:

This picture is awful (i really should buy some new batteries), but anyway, it's the CLEAN top of Ryan's dresser. I know you can't tell from this picture and I should of taken a before picture... but this was a quick little project I did yesterday on my day off. Ryan lets his dresser become out of control and it drives me batty! Mine is always cleared off with NOTHING except maybe a piece of jewelry laying on it... He doesn't want me touching his stuff on there (could have something to with the fact I threw away some important numbers once while cleaning off his dresser)... but seriously things kept falling off and I couldn't take it any longer! I just left his papers for him to sort through (and made him do it last night!). I asked him "doesn't this make you feel so much better?" He was like, "uh I guess?" lol! He just doesn't see the mess I guess?! Drives me crazy! I feel so much more calm when I look at it now! (maybe I'm the one w/ a problem!). lol Now if only I could get him to go through his stuff nightly and not just dump everything on there....
Day 20:
These are NOT my cabinets, they are another set (of bathroom) cabinets that they made for someone else. BUT they are EXACTLY the same color as what my kitchen cabinets are going to be!! Ryan sent me this and I'm just so in love. I had seen a sample door and that's how I picked... I always thought I wanted light colored cabinets, but then it came time to make the decision and I kept going back and forth... THEN I saw the sample door for this set and FELL.IN.LOVE! I knew this was it! Soooo this is the color of my kitchen cabinets... now if I could only decide on the bathroom ones... I haven't picked master bathroom cabinet color or boys' bathroom cabinet color... ughh!!

I can't wait until the day I can take a picture of my own cabinets in my kitchen :)

365- Day 18

Day 18:

We had to run to Lowe's for plumbing stuff and since they are starting to finish our drywall tomorrow we're only about a week away from being ready to start...wait for it... PAINTING!!

I had colors in my head, but hadn't actually picked up samples or anything!

This is w/ my phone and doesn't accurately portray any of the colors, but I'll try to explain (Because I'm excited, not because you care!).

The top is an olivish greenish and a rusty orange. Both boys rooms are going to be done in these colors! B wants to share his room doesn't want to share his room wants to share his room, etc... soo I figured if they were both painted the same and bedding colors coordinated it wouldn't be a huge deal whatever he decides at the moment it's time to decide!
He wants his brother in his room, BUT he doesn't want him in a baby bed, that's his dilemma! I'm def. not taking Corbin out of a crib yet so B is going to have to decide here in a couple months! I think it's cute.

The next color is a med. creamy tanish color and a golden (like country goldish?) color. The tan will be on the entry, family room, dining room walls and up to the peaks of the ceilings above the wall shelves and the goldish color will be in the kitchen area.

The bottom blue is for the laundry room. It's actually a creamier/brighter blue than in this picture. I'm nervous about it, but think I will love it. I wanted something fun in there since I spend so much time in the laundry room and it's the mud room that will welcome me home from work every day. Our cabinets are fairly dark so I think this color will work well in there.

The next sample looks black and it's far from it-- it's a milky chocolate and it's for the boys bathroom. It's actually not as dark as I wanted, but there is no window in that room and so Ryan said I shouldn't go any darker... we'll see if I love it when I get it on the walls or if i decide to go darker (it's just what I have envisioned!).

The next color is a gray for our bedroom and the next one with it is called linen and it's for our bathroom (which might get changed).... i'm waiting on our shower curtain to come in (hopefully today) before I decide for sure on our bathroom!

I'm getting SO excited! i want to move in like TODAY!

Friends & Basketball

Well, as I already posted on my 365 posts we got to hang out with our good friends Ricky and Brittany (and Kayden and Kenzlie) and Chelsey and Ryan (and Blake in her belly) on Saturday night! I couldn't get the big boys (Kayden and Brycen) to hold still long enough for a picture, but they did have a ton of fun playing! Kayden is a couple years older than B and B thinks he hung the moon :)

Corbin Fisher (11 mo) and Kenzlie Rayne (9 mo)

They are almost exactly 2 months apart (Feb. 9th and April 11th)

Corbin LOVED Miss Kenzlie's pink four-wheeler (he is in his diaper b/c I was getting ready to change him into his pj's when he discovered this toy!).

This is what I had already decided to get him for his birthday (minus the pinkness).

I wasn't sure if he would be able to do it himself yet, but happily he already can so now I'm super happy we decided to get him one for his birthday.

He loved it!
He got mad when the battery died!

He just looks sooo big!

I told Ryan last night when B turned one I remember thinking how big one was...

Now I just want Corbin to stay my little baby... not happening-- he is doing something new every day!

(Like he now cruises on furniture- transitions from holding on to a toy moves to the couch or table, etc).

Brycen was walking at 9 1/2-10 mo. so I guess I should be happy he's waiting this long, but it just makes him seem so big and I'm not ready for him to grow up (but so happy he's healthy and here!).

Chelsey (baby Blake in her belly-- due the beginning of May), Me, Britt, and Kenzlie

Sunday afternoon we went to B's game.
I always say how he's not agressive... and he's still not by any means, BUT he DID have the ball a lot this week and did a great job!
So proud of my little man! :)

Brycen Hunter

This is SO him!
Totally his personality!
LOVE IT!!

His last game is this coming Sunday and while I enjoy watching him I'm looking forward to a break for a couple months before baseball starts up!
