Sweet Jaidie and Vince.
She loves him :)






 


No more training wheels!!!!
She's so proud of herself :)
We owe this one entirely to Lee, who worked with her for several nights, and they finally got it down.



My little dreamer.
We're just beginning to work on potty training, but we're taking it slow, and we are making progress.
Our almost 3 year old still loves his ba-ba, prefers to sleep in his crib over his big boy bed, and will choose playing outside over any other activity.
 
He's graduated from "Daddy and Me" gymnastics and this week will start "Mighty Muscles,"  an all boy class for 3-5 year olds.  He'll be the youngest, but his teachers think he's advanced enough to move ahead.  His balance and coordination amaze me and he can run across the balance beams effortlessly.  His teachers name is Kevin, and Mason is convinced he is the blue power ranger!
 
Mason loves superhero's of all types!  He knows their superhero names (i.e. The incredible Hulk) and their regular names (i.e. David Banner.)  He has such an imagination and loves to play with his figures....he has no less than 30 of them.
He transforms from David Banner to the Hulk and it is probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
It involves eye rolling and "pretend" ripping of the clothes!
 
He does have a little stutter, which I hear is developmental and completely normal.  Typically he begins his sentences with the stutter  "I...I...I...want to go outside."
He thinks faster than he can get the words out, and it makes me smile to see how fast the little wheels in his brain are spinning.
 
He loves doing puzzles with his Mommy, and we breeze through 100+ piece puzzles in no time.  I'm amazed at how well he can fit these pieces together!
 
Chocolate milk is a must for this boy as soon as he wakes, and he needs a full 15 minutes before he will even think about being happy.  I wouldn't consider him a morning person.

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...
