*** Playing Catch Up ***

How have you all been? Pretty good here!! We really haven't been up to a whole lot! The weather has been gorgeous for Feb and now Mar and I am diggin that big time for sure :] Noah has been workin too much- but he has been better with coming home earlier this week, which is very nice! I miss him so easily- but that is just how it always will be. I am such a baby when it comes to missing him and the boys! BUT it's just b/c I love them all more than any words can explain!

We went out for dinner Tues night at Steak n Shake- yum yum yummmmm!!! We had a great time together for sure! Eli wore the Steak n Shake hat and Zacary was bein a lil hoot himself by hitting Noah's arms and had a funny look on his face- all the people in there were staring at us b/c Eli and I were laughing so hard- hahaha gotta love the laughs and giggles- I looooove them :]

Zacary is becoming quite a big boy and he is becoming this big boy waaaay too fast! He is almost 17 lbs (according to our scales ha) and very long! Actually so long that he is getting too long for that heavy infant seat of his and is about to meet the weight limit of 17 lbs in the ole infant seat already- my gooooodness sakes! He is almost sitting up on his own and is able to sit in high chairs when we go out to eat soooo we decided that we would have him start using the seat Eli is in now and sit backwards in it until he is 20 lbs or 1 yr and we got Eli a new seat that is for 20-40 lbs to sit forward buckled in and then 40-100 can be used as a booster seat with a belt acrossed his lap still sitting in the seat. We got the seats in the cars and we are gunna try her out for sure! I actually had playgroup yesterday and the boys were so so cute side by side in the car! I loved hearing and seeing Eli laugh and play with Zacary in his seat as we were going to playgroup- so so so sweet! Zacary also is able to see more and is at the same level as his brother and looooves it :] Eli was about the same age as Zacary is now when he was switched to this big boy car seat too- so we are not a bit worried at all!! Now if we need to run to Wal-Mart or Target etc I am gunna use his infant seat til he can sit up allll the way- but that shall be no problem as well! Zacary is also very close to getting his first toofers and is such a sweet baby! He wants to move around so so so bad- I am not gunna be a bit surprised if he crawls soon! We go to his 6 month appointment at the end of the month! He is so darn obsessed with his toes and playing with them- it is so so funny!!! He also got up on his knees yesterday a few times- oh my goodness! Time needs to slow the heck down :]

Eli is so so funny as always! Lately his new thing is saying his name! He says "Eli wants poptart" "Eli's ball" "Eli's turn" etc! He will point to pictures of himself and say "Eli" and then sometimes when his room is a mess I will jokingly say "who messed up your room?" and he says "Eli!" Hahaha it makes me laugh :] We started a new class Tues morning that is called "Puddle Jumpers" and it is a class for 2 & 3 year olds! It is a class where Mommys stay (thank goodness or I'd be a wreck- he is still too young for this school by himself thing if you ask me haha)- but anyway- this class is freeee and we go every Tues morning and there are 3 different rooms they go to- they have play time, learn different songs, motor skills, they paint and have craft time, and then a snack too! It was so so so much fun! I love it and Eli is beyong loving it already even after the first day! He did great!!! One of the teachers even told me how well he did and it made me oh so proud :] Each week they learn a new color- this week it was red! At the end of the class they all got a red plastic fireman hat! So cute and sweet :] I am excited to go back next week already! Zacary did so so good too! He sat there and smiled and laughed and just was oh so good :] I love my babies!!!!!! I am oh so so so blessed :]:] Last night Eli and I were playing catch with this velcrow thing and he would say "Eli's turn" hahaha and then Noah went to shut the light off to go to bed b/c he was tired and Eli said "Nooooo ONNNNN" hahahaha- it was so funny! :]

This lil family is going to FL in June and I am so so excited :] It's awesome we areonly 4 hours away from PCB Florida too! :] I ended up getting a long weekend in June for us to go as a family and we are staying on Panama City Beach! I got a hotel on the beach with good ratings for $99 a night :] I am so excited! Noah has been sayin for quite awhile now that he is dying for the 4 of us to go sometime this Summer! He loved going last year and really wants to go again to relax on a beach the 4 of us and since he kept saying it and b/c he has worked so dang hard and deserves it I went ahead and found a great deal and booked it this week!!!! EEEEEK! I am doing this also for Noah's birthday, father's day, and also for us being together 7 years next Thursday! I am so proud of Noah and so proud of us- it's the best feeling ever to have a great hubby and kids and just 7 years together is wonderful and an amazing feeling- I absolutely love it so so much and him too of course :] I already told Noah about all of this b/c he has had a rough time at work this week (and b/c I am bad with these kinda secrets hahahaha)- and he was so so so glad I told him! He is so excited and can't wait to go :] I am already looking forward to it!!! I also got tickets to go to an animal park that has dolphin shows, and all this fun stuff there- the kids will love it eeeek I can't wait! :]

Well ya know- I decided I am going to write down things the kids do everyday and start blogging atleast twice a week. I feel I slack at times and that is no good! This is my baby book for both boys- so I must keep up on it!!!! I am starting this new thing NOW and will not SLACK anymore :]

I just also want to add my great pal Laura finds out what her baby is Tues the 8th and I am beyond stoked for her- can't waaaaait to hear the news! I heart you friend and your adorable family!!!



*Here is a pic of Eli in his big boy car seat for the first time and then also Zacary too- so so crazy how fast time goes with lil babies! OH how I love you 2 so so so much!!!! I think the boys look so much alike!!*



*Zacary loves the sink as his lil bath tub! The sinks are so deep and he sticks his lil toes out and plays with them in the bubbles- Eli just laughs and laughs at him :] Eli also in his SNS hat- he is such a silly silly boy!!! Then the 2 boys in their cool dude shades- aw I just love them!! When I ask Eli what he wants to wear each day he tells me and usually it is football or baseball or Mickey or Buzz etc haha and then he says "brother too" b/c he wants Zacary to wear the same- how stinkin sweet and adorable!!!!!*


*My handsome and cute lil bunnies* :]




*Pics from the park last weekend! It was so fun and so beautiful out and Noah got to go with us too since it is his only day off for sure during the week! We fed the geese some pringles and Eli found it way hilarious- untttttil it attracted allll the geese (even the ones in the water) and we had to move our lil family picnic elsewhere hahahaha!*
