thanks, clivey...

i would just like to thank hgtv and the countless hours of design to sell that i have watch over the past few years. it took just 3 showings for our house to sell!

diaper deal...

i found this really great deal on someone's blog and thought i needed to share with everyone!! you got 228 pampers diapers and 160 wipes for $26.40!

Diapers.com is offering free shipping on orders of $49 or more. Then you put in this code, AFF10 that gives you $10 dollars off, then go to this website: www.diapers.com/helpcenter/parenting.htm and print off the page, fill it out and send it in with your receipt to get a $14.97 rebate. I just bought one box of diapers and a huge thing of wipes. GREAT DEAL!

5 months...

Lyla's 5 months and as cute as ever! As you can tell, I can't get enough pictures of this petite cutie! She can't run away from the camera like Noah, so I'm finding my camera is filling up with pictures of this doll face...and check out her hair! She's going to need a little trim soon!

little lyla...

here are just some cute pictures of our little girl after her bath the other day. just thought I'd share...

magic...

so, i am sure everyone has been through this...the toddler not wanting to eat, throwing his plate, breaking the unbreakable ...normal, right?! well, i have found a solution (that works this week, fingers crossed for the coming weeks!) so, noah and i are at target and they have the cutest assortment of kid's plate. i let noah go through them and pick one out. he was so cute - he would study one and then say "put back!" if it didn't pass his inspection. he found one that he wouldn't let go of...the monkey plate. i would like to thank target for making this magical plate! he has eaten every meal on this plate and asks for it all the time. it has yet to be thrown or tossed aside... we went back to target today just so i could get another one of these "magical" plates and he was very disappointed that the monkey plate was sold out...we had to settle on the monster plate...we'll see if if holds any power!

here's how the magic happens...

i load up his plate.

he eats.

all gone!

MAGIC.

big boy...

noah channing marshall turned TWO on january 31, 2009!

we decided to have a very last minute party to celebrate with
friends and family and he had such a blast!

not enough time in the day...

really! my memory card that holds 1000 or more pictures is almost full! I never have time to sit down and actually download them and update this. So, no insightful messages about our life at the moment - just a lot of fun and very random pictures from our crazy life this last month...

our bathing beauty-
lyla loves bathtime

funny picture...
noah has been sick this last week so in the middle of the night, I get a tap on the shoulder or a loud cough in my face to wake me up and help him into bed...this is how loren found us sleeping as loren was getting ready for school in the wee hours of the morning.
