Krystyn from Really, Are You Serious has begun a new venture and started Mommy & My Monday. Check out her blog for more info and more links!



So I kinda rushed to get a picture taken and got it this morning. Quinn and I were just hanging out at the kitchen table! ;)

More 365 Pic-A-Day Catch up

Ok this will get me caught up for this batch! lol I really wish I could find my software for my camera to add to my laptop, would make uploading pics so much easier. Maybe that is partly why I've fallen a bit behind in posting pics? Could be? Probably! lol

Whoa, a little behind!

Ok, I was afraid of this happening, especially when my desktop was fried, I've gotten very far behind on posting pics! Hey, at least I've been good about taking them though right?! lol I think I may have missed 1 day, but for me that's not too bad! ;)

So, I think I've got close to 2wks of pics for my 365 Pic-A-Day project to post to get caught up on, I may just post a few now and then a few more tomorrow and so on.

Have the older boys this weekend, Quinn just loves it when his brothers visit. It's nice when we don't have to constantly play with him too! I love him to pieces, but sometimes I get tired of playing! lol

I have to say that I can not wait for summer to get here! I am so tired of this snow and cold weather this year and being cooped up in the house with the 3yr old! I'm having daily visions of walking to the park, about 4-5blks away, and playing there for a change! My plan is to teach Quinn to ride his trike there, at least most of the way.

Scott and I had a lovely Valentines Day! We spent the night away from home and enjoyed it so much! It was so nice to just hang out again, its been so long since we've done that just the 2 of us! Maybe we can do it again for our anniversary in July?! ;)

Ok now on to some pics....

Take Me Back Tuesday

This week I'm sharing a pic from Summer 2001, the first summer Scott and I were together and this was our first fishing/camping trip! We had a blast that weekend and I LOVED this pic! I look so cute there! hehe

Alas, I am realizing that I've got to really get started working on getting pictures scanned!!! I've got TONS of pictures all over and would really like the to be all in one place, on my external hard drive, and a back up, but that way I'll always know where they are....at least that is the idea! lol

So, maybe this weekend I'll try to start getting things ready to get them scanned, not even sure where I should begin! Whoa this will be one big project!

Quinn told Ian this weekend that he is the 'bestest brother'

33; 2/6/10

Awww....brotherly love! :)

Quinn cheesing!

Screaming Toddler and SuperBowl Sunday!

Screaming 3yr old, what fun is that?! Is it really all that normal for the 3yr old in the house to be the absolute loudest child or adult for that matter in the house?! Really? Quinn will scream when he doesn't get his way, when he does get his way, when you try to talk calmly to him, lets just put it this way, he screams a lot anymore! So, I'm taking up a new method of trying to teach him to "use your inside voice" to which he replies "I don't want to use my inside voice"....ummm seriously?! lol So, my new attempt to counter this is to gradually speak quieter to him. The idea is that maybe, hopefully he'll actually want to hear what I have to say so he'll be forced to calm and quiet down in order to hear me. Well, that's the hopes anyways!

So it is Superbowl Sunday, the Saints v. the Colts....I'm not a big football person but always get into this even if only a little. This year I'm rooting for the Saints, if only for the fact that I've always wanted to go to New Orleans and the city fascinates me! GO SAINTS!!! :)

We've got some goodies and the older boys, not sure if we'll have them through the game or what but kinda hope so, maybe we could start some sort of new tradition with them? Fun right!? I hope so! :)

Until next time....Happy Weekend!

Five Question Friday

Here is my first Five Question Friday :

1. What are you most afraid of?
Wow lets see, I guess since becoming a mom, my biggest fear would be of something bad happening to my son or myself. I'm terrified of us loosing one another. It took DH and I a long time to finally have one of our own and I guess I'm scared that one of us would miss out on that time together. I try my best to enjoy all the time we have together. You may ask, what about DH? Well, I wouldn't want to loose him either! lol

2. Do you use a flat iron or curling iron?
I occasionally use a flat iron

3. Hands-free or phone to the ear?
Phone to ear or sometimes speaker, not much on headsets lol

4. Do you have a matching bedroom set?
Nope but I'm hoping to in the next couple years!

5. Do you believe in the paranormal?
I do, my husband thinks I'm nuts though lol. I believe that I have had my own unexplainable experiences to not be able to believe.

Wordless Wednesday: Playing Trains

Here are all 3 boys playing with the trains and tracks. Quinn loves it when his older step-brothers Ian and Jacob visit us every other weekend, he keeps them busy!
