2.14 -2.17.13

Our weekend mostly spent indoors.
Because it's freezing here.
So we have messy unbrushed hair and hardly get out of our pajamas, but it's ok because spring is almost here...I can taste it!
 This little love right here is rolling over front to back and back to front and can maneuver his way across a room in just a few minutes....crawling will be soon.  He has started to sit up on his own - if only for a few seconds.
He's slobbering all over and chewing on his fingers constantly, but no signs of any teeth yet!
He's almost 6 months old but he hates any sort of babyfood.  Rice cereal, apples, bananas, carrots, sweet potatoes, avacado, and black beans.  I've made it all for him but he literally gags when I try to feed him.
It totally disgusts him.
He wants nothing to do with any of it.
Mason was always such a happy little eater and eager to try anything new, so I'm at a loss of what to do with my Vince.
I'll just continue with the milk and hope he changes his ways soon.
 
This week he's decided sleep isn't important to him (I think he's not getting full on a milk only diet) and we're all more than a little tired, but I whole- heartedly welcome those 2am feedings because I know they will not last much longer.
His little chubby body curls instantly into mine while he's nursing, and he immediately grabs for my hands.  Holding my thumb with one little hand and my remaining fingers with the other.
Nursing instantly soothes us both.
And he is always content in my arms.
I love the smell of him, I love his cute little button nose, and his blond hair, and I love that he loves me more than anyone.
I'm so grateful for these moments with my baby.  And one day I know I will ache to have these moments back.
My heart is so full of love for these boys right now and I'm cherishing every moment of these baby years and trying so hard to live in each little moment.

Our Trip to Niagara Falls, Canada. One last getaway before our kids headed back to school and this one couldn't have been more perfect!  I highly recommend seeing these amazing Falls at least once in your lifetime!  We did all things tourist-y and I wanted to share some of our favorites if you're ever looking to take a trip North. Our girls + kids weekend getaway, plus all the deets: Also, girls trips are awesome - we had soo much fun! If you're looking for a home to rent while in Niagara Falls that is gorgeous and perfect in every way, while also being within walking distance from most things then be sure to check this one out.  This was just enough off the beaten path that we could come back home in the afternoons and unwind while getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  Us girls sat on the porch and rested while the kids played in the hot tub, or on the tire swing in the backyard!  Here's the short list of our favorite tours and eater...

Mason and Vince's Mini-Room Makeover.

The boys have been begggging for bunk beds for YEARS -  and to get ready for our next newest addition in November, we finally gave in to their pleas and they're now sharing a room! For not a whole lot of money, I think it turned out super cute.  I'll post the deets here if any of you are looking for a quick remodel for a shared brothers bedroom. The wall I did completely on my own, only using a tape measure, level, and razor blade!!  Originally I had wanted an authentic restored barn wood - but the $1200 price tag made me quickly change my mind.  Instead, I picked this up at Lowe's for less than $1 a square foot.  I had never attempted a project like this at all, but after watching just a few YouTube videos I felt like it was something I could certainly tackle on my own.  I did apply just a thin layer of additional glue before I put each peel 'n stick panel to the wall.  Total cost for this Driftwood Gray weathered wood wall was le...
