An arcade you say....

No no....this is not part of a mall or a Chuck E. Cheese. This is actually INSIDE my sisters house. Crazy I know. She's a good wife to let her husband turn an entire room into a vintage 80's arcade. It's pretty awesome actually. There are probably 8-10 arcade/pinball machines in the room with flourescent lights, glow in the dark arcade carpet, and wall decals. Oh, and lets not forget the display case of pretty much every star wars character ever created. I would say he is quite the lucky guy!

Mushi Mushi Mikosome

This is my best friend Jamie and her "little" boy Jack. Aren't they so adorable? We met at church when we were both tween/teenagers. I practically lived at her house for a couple of years (until we both moved away from each other). Her and her family mean the world to me. So I couldn't have been happier to get to see them while I was on my trip to Florida this past weekend. I wish we could have spent more time together, but at least we got to go to lunch and hang out for the afternoon. I can't wait for her to come and visit me (hint hint Jamie Girl).

You're never gonna believe it

Ok, well, at least I'm having a hard time believing it. 

I just got back from little B's 4 month well baby check up and here are his stats.

Weight- 14 lbs. 15 oz. 

Head Circumference- 42 cm

Height- 24 1/2 inches (35th %)

 

The unbelievable part is that his head and weight are only in the 50th percentile. How is that possible? Even the doctor walked in and first commented on how big his head looked, which I took no offense to because I say the same thing all the time. What we figured is that his head is just misshapen due to the fact that he sleeps on his back.  Hopefully it will round out as time goes, or at least maybe his hair will cover it. 

I'm still in shock! 

Hard to believe....

That these two cuties are only three weeks apart. At least Brandon is the older one.

Busy Week

It's been an exciting week around our household. On Monday, Grammy came into town. On Tuesday we had a Birthday Party for Ashlyn at a local park. On Wednesday, Ashlyn turned the BIG 5! And on Thursday, Ashlyn started Kindergarten. I can't believe it. She did so well and was so excited.


Grammy hand knit these beautiful Princess hats for the girls. I wish you could see them up close. They really are amazing. I would have never guessed that they were handmade.


Well, at least Grammy is smiling.


We had pizza, water games, a Giselle Pinata and (per Ashlyn's request) sugar cookies decorated to look like little birthday cakes.


Here are two of Ashlyn's favorite little buddies. They are so cute playing together.


Gotta show off the new backpack. It's a Tinkerbell backpack and Ashlyn just loves it. Doesn't she look so grown up. Aw...... I just love this girl!


And off she goes. There's her teacher in the front. Paul and I want to buy one of those homes up on the hill. Don't they look nice (even from the back). I think it's a pipe dream though.


And, of course, my little Leah. She's so cute. She's been a good girl this week. She did so well with all the attention Ashlyn has been getting with her birthday and school and such. She even got Ashlyn two new Hello Kitty pens as a birthday gift, and I think she was more excited to give them to Ashlyn, than Ashlyn was to receive them. She may be a little hard to deal with at times, but she sure has a sweet little heart. Look at that smile. Just melts my heart.

Two dollars and forty-eight cents

Is the exact amount you need to get yourself one of these scrumptious desserts. I know this because I have been frequenting McDonald's quite a bit this summer with the express purpose of purchasing this tasty treat. So much so that Paul asked me today if I was pregnant. HA..... To that I said a resounding NO!!!! (Don't even joke about such things.)

I've been waiting all week

To put him in this adorable outfit for church!


And then he found the magic moving colors box. (Don't worry, it was a church cartoon. Of course I guess I can't say that's the only thing on our TV on Sundays.)
