Day Fourty-Five...

Happy Valentine's Day

This is what Justin got for me. :)

Sorry, that's the only preview you get.  Heehee!

I love you, babe!! Thanks for being my Sweetheart for 2010.  Here is to many more years of the same love we share.

Day Fourty-Four....

Hittin The Town In Style

For our Valentine's Day dinner, Justin and I took ourselves out to Outback (which was really Saturday night, not V-day itself).  Due to his "starvation" we hauled Ariana with us instead of having my sister watch her.

I dressed her in a tutu for more of my own amusement than hers. 

At least she has good humor.

Day Forty-Three....

Jail Baby

Snapped this pic just after Ariana woke up from her nap.  Those white things are, indeed, the bars of her crib.

I love how, after a nap, she is so very happy.

Day Fourty-Two.....

Our Last Hoo-RAH!

Justin's mom left today.  After about 36inches of snow where she lived (West Virginia) and two cancelled flights, her extended stay (by four days) came to an end. 

We took a few last minute pictures of Ariana, in all sorts of outfits.  This was one of my favorites.

Ariana and her Easter dress

Day Thirty-Five....

Happy Birthday Dalton~!

The celebration of a birthday.  My baby brother, Dalton!

(Thanks, Mom, for uploading the pics!!)

Day Thirty-Four....

Houdini...

Today we stayed home.. Mommy with her migraine and Ariana being.... well, Ariana..

Except, we have a new trick.  Perhaps it was a one-time deal.  If you can see, she wriggled her way out of her jammies.  Yup, and she was pretty happy about it.

I keep calling her my little Houdini baby

Day Thirty-Two.....

Where the Baby Becomes the Photographer

Or tries to, anyways.  She grabbed as i snapped, and this is what we ended up with.

Also could be named "The Baby's First Juice."

Day Thirty.....

Ariana Does the Splits!

Not only is Ariana crawling all over the place, but she is pulling herself up into a sitting position after she gets to her destination.

Today that destination happened to be under the coffee table.  After Konnor made a fort with her under said table for Ariana, it has been one of her favorite places in the house.

Here you see she is doing the splits.

Day Twenty-Eight

And We Call It Sibling Love

When the baby sister grabs your hair and PULLS!!!

Day Twenty-Five...

Kix - Kid Tested, Mother Approved...

Ariana was so interested in what i was munching on today, that I figured it wouldn't hurt to let her try a Kix.

Biting one in half, I gave her the other.  She took to them instantly.  They dissolve pretty fast, so it was mushy in her mouth before we knew it.  She thought they were pretty tasty, too!

Day Twenty-Three....

Portland Children's Museum

Ahhh, Sir K-man.  The Children's Museum was a blast today.  Your favorite, of course, was the train station.  While you didn't enjoy sharing those trains with other kids, you did.  Mommy has tons of pictures of the fun we had.  We both loved it, and will be going back soon.

I love you, bug!  Thank you for being an absolutely fantabulous kiddo!

Day Twenty-Two...

The Power of Chocolate...

Somehow, chocolate can heal everything wrong in the world and make it right again. 

After eating a dove chocolate and throwing away the wrapper, I remembered the saying that lies within said wrapper.  Diving back into my garbage can (its my own-personal-changed-everyday-because-the-cleaning-lady-changes-it-every-night garbage can at my desk at work!) I unfoiled the foil to read these words.

That got me thinking.  Sometimes you just need to slow down and remember the good in your life, and stop stressing about everything else.

I love my family.  I love the friends I have.  The relationships I have created with these people are mine.  They are around because they care. 

Dove chocolate RULES!!

Day Nineteen...

Sick Fussies Always Find Happiness.

Snotty nose and goop in your eyes - that's how Mommy was greeted today when picking you up from daycare.  Sick with a migraine and you with your ickies, we were both in a foul mood.

Of all of your toys, you grabbed the lion we bought from Old Navy.  A toy that had never been played with before, and that made you happy.  Kind of anyways.

Listening to you cry in the bedroom, I know it's mommy's bedtime as well.  You aren't going to sleep on your own tonight.  Shall be a long night for the both of us.  But you are so worth it, sweet pea. 

Day Eighteen....

"I Don't Wanna Go Nappie-Time"

Oh sweet Konnor, how you hate bed time.  But tonight was really a tough night for you to go to bed.  For some reason, 8 o'clock came and went, and you were NOT down for bedtime.

Day Twelve.....

Apple-Eating Baby

APPARENTLY going pee is no longer an option for me.  I leave them alone for a minute and come out to find Konnor has given Ariana his apple.  Love my children, but for Pete's Sake.......

Day Eleven.....

Froggy-Style

Ariana, in an attempt to start crawling, has adopted the Froggy Stance.  She looks like she is ready to hop hop HOP! lol

Day Ten.....

Sunday Morning Cartoons

They laid cute and cuddly like this for at least an hour before Ariana decided she didn't enjoy  her brother's company that much.
