Saying good-bye to the terrible twos and hello to my big girl!

Today is the last time I can say that my little Rory is TWO. 🙁 Tomorrow she will be 3 years old! It is so hard to believe that I have been a mom for 3 years. This little girl has brought so much joy to my life.

Here is a little tribute to my baby girl!

The day we brought her home

and last but not least we are saying good-bye to the terrible twos! These are the last pics I will ever take of her being two!

Crazy Cool

I went to take a picture of Logan today. This is what I got!!! Check out the rainbow IN my house! How cool is that!
How cool is that???? There is a freakin RAINBOW in this picture!

He's got Eyes of the Bluest Skies

I’m not sure why but when I think of Logan I think of this song

I think maybe it has to do with the lyrics:
Got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain

My beautiful baby

I remember the first time I heard Creed’s song “With Arms Wide Open” I thought WOW that is a beautiful song.

Now that I have two beautiful little babies this song touches me so much more even now!

My sweet little angel girl has been sick 🙁 She’s been running a 104.8 temp and I love the fact that I was able to get a nice picture of her today!
Got tired of all the "snap shots" I've been doing lately

My Bum Genius Baby Boy

Yesterday my hubby asked me what I wanted to do. We considered many things but decided to start by going out to breakfast 🙂 After breakfast I asked if we could stop off at this store Kissui I had found online. I have been wanting to buy a Mobywrap for my new lil bean as well as start cloth diapering. I knew that the store was on “citrus” so we drove up and down looking for it, I decided to give them a call. HAHAHA NO it is ON Orange/Cajon (same thing. Anyways, so we call and Laura the store owner tells us where to find her. So we park a block away (no parking on the street) and meander on down there. Ok I seriously think this store is adorable! Laura was so nice, and even though I hadn’t “planned” on buying anything yesterday I went ahead and bought a bunch of cloth diapers and my mobywrap 🙂 I put the diapers on Logan to try them out today! OMG he looked SOOOO adorable!!!

Made the switch to cloth diapers :)
