Oh, The Decisions!

Today I had a terrible time deciding which knobs should go on our closet doors. I sat. I debated. I agonized. I realized they are just knobs. I just picked some.

In building our house I have spent a lot of time agonizing over the littlest details--the way the paint was put on the crown molding, which way a door should swing, knobs vs. pulls, and on down the list.

But in the end it doesn't really matter.

Yesterday we got carpet. We are pretty stoked!

And we didn't even have to agonize over this decision.

You've Had A Birthday Shout Hooray

This little boy turned three on Mother's Day...

  

 On Saturday Ben celebrated by playing in the dirt (yes, he really loves playing in the dirt), 

going to Chuck E Cheese's, and eating dinner at McDonald's.

With it also being Mother's Day also he was pretty confused for most of the day. Half way through the day he wished me a Happy Birthday! However, when the cupcakes came out he knew it was his time. I think all he wanted was to blow out candles!

I hope the next three years don't go by quite as quickly!

Happy Easter

Out of the Mouth of Ben

Ben: Mommy, I think the cushions really miss me. I better take them off before they get really dusty.

Ben: Grandma has a baby in her tummy. (Long pause with some very obvious deep thinking) Grandpa will be so happy.

And my personal favorite; if you ask Bennett what his daddy does for work he replies, "he makes soda."

As Time Goes By

Six years ago we took the plunge...

And now-

several jobs

3.5 moves, 

2 kids, 

a couple college degrees

1 house construction 

and 7 proposals later

we would still sign on for our crazy life together.

Yellow House...

...black door?

...red door?

Where Has It Gone?

Somewhere amidst everything else going on this little girl hit the four month mark! I could have sworn we just brought her home.

She is still as happy and easy going as ever. As you can tell she has found her hands and almost always has one of them in her mouth.

I think we will keep her around.
