You asked for it!

Some recent Oliviaisms...

Olivia has been "playing around" with language lately, which is so funny! For example, she recently called Ryan her "Goblin boy" and Aidan her "Booga Boy".

While praying before bed tonight she said: Dear Jesus, thank you for Elliott Moose on the loose...
(while I get that praying for cartoon characters is a typical thing for wee ones, it cracked me up to hear the phrase!)

And one of my "isms" to Olivia this weekend (things out of the mouths of Moms), "Olivia, put down that scorpion and come let me show you the slide!" (Don't worry, it wasn't real...it was at the Children's Museum) :)

I'm sure I will have an interesting one later this week...my parents (and I) decided it was time to put down the family cat, Teeny. He was 16 years old and just not doing well anymore. Always a tough decision, but it was time. Olivia loves Teeny and always has to check in on him at my parents place. I haven't told her yet, mostly because I'm not sure how to! But I'm sure it will make for intersting discussion when I do!

And a little about Aidan: he recently has begun growling...it's hilarious! He walks around all the time just growling to himself. :)

What do you want to know?

In a total lack of inspiration for what to blog about I turn to you, dear readers, to tell me what it is that you want to know! Anything you've been dying to know about me or my kids (or hubby...I guess he counts too)?

Ask away!

Olivia's Theme Song

Warning: If you have young, impressionable girls with you, you may want them to leave the room. This video can be EXTREMELY ADDICTING. And once you see it Moms, you'll know why you don't want your child addicted to it!! :)

Cake Take #1: The Green Turtle

Mmmmmm. Can you see his serious expression? We had to force smiles out of him. :)

If you think the mess looks green...you should have seen the diaper effect the next day! There was enough green dye in that frosting for, well...SERIOUSLY A LOT!

Okay, I'm done now!

And I had a lot of fun!!!

It's National De-lurking week, so if you read my blog, leave me a comment!!

One Year Old!

Happy Birthday Aidan!

Once again: Seriously!! It's been how long!! A year!?!?! I cannot believe my little man was born one year ago today! My sweet little babe is now entering toddlerhood. Wow. It has been an amazing whirlwind kind of a year and while it hasn't always been easy, I have loved every minute of it (even if I have to look back later to love certain minutes!). In case you want to remember Aidan's birth story, or you are new to my blog, click here! If not, here's to reminscing picture style!

I have no words to describe this.

So happy to have my little man to cuddle!

Big Sister Olivia! (22 mos)
