I love Saturdays!

So, we waited until this Saturday to celebrate with Jer's birthday cake. I made him his favorite chocolate truffle with rocky road in the middle. It tasted amazing but looked pretty bad. Unfortunately I am the worst at being patient when it comes to baking and I tried to take the cakes out of their pans before they were cooled all the way. Therefor I made a pretty crumbly cake. Thank goodness for frosting, it hides everything!

The best part was that Jer's dad came and brought Jer a card. When he opened it up, it was identical to the card that Jer's sister Amanda's family sent! too funny! I guess great minds think alike!

Jer got a game that he's been wanting. So we ate hamburgers, cake and played a little this afternoon.

Happy Birthday honey!

Birthday boy!

Happy Birthday Jeremiah!!! Yesterday was Jer's 29th Birthday. He came home a half hour early and that was a nice surprise. We aren't celebrating with his cake until Saturday but I thought I would surprise him with his favorite meal. He always eats Steak Gorgonzola whenever we go to Olive Garden, and since a nice restaurant is no where near us here, I decided to make it at home for him. I was pretty excited because it turned out pretty good even if I couldn't find all of the ingredients.
Happy Birthday honey! You are so wonderful. You are my best friend and favorite person in the whole world! I'm so happy you are in my life! Love you!!!

4 weeks old

It amazes me how fast the time flies. Dallas will be four weeks old tomorrow. It feels like it has passed so quickly but at the same time it's like he's been here forever.

*I weighed him recently and he was 9-10 lbs.

* He is now in 0-3 month clothes. I can tell he is much longer now.

*Dallas has finally lost all his hair on the top of his head (just like Mason did). I think its funny how Brooklyn's hair never fell out the way my boy's hair has.

*He is starting to focus more and loves to watch out the window for minutes at a time.

*Brooklyn and Mason are getting a lot more comfortable about touching and being around him.

Picture time!

One goal that I have given myself, is to keep up with my kid's scrapbooking and picture taking. This has been no easy feat for me since I feel like my life is pure chaos right now. Between feeling exhausted, having to drive the kids around and get them ready, the car breaking down and having to add Jeremiah to the list of people I have to get places and now Jeremiah is sick. The Doctor told him to stay away from the kids and especially the baby. WHAT?! I truly have come to depend on his help in the evenings. I just may lose my mind here soon.

On a side note, I can't get over how sweet little Dal is. His hair has red in it! It looks like the color of Jer's beard. Funny!

I took some long overdue pictures of the kids all together. I love this one. Mason looks like he has no clue what to do with Dallas.

Here are the three of them! Even though its so hard, I wouldn't change a thing!!!!

Happy Groundhog's Day!

Happy Groundhog's Day Everyone! I love groundhog's day. Growing up in Pennsylvania, I saw quite a few groundhogs. A couple lived right outside my high school grounds.
This year however, I am not very happy that good ol' Phil did see his Shadow. I'm getting cabin fever a little early this year. 6 more weeks of winter just may do me in. Today was such a nice and sunny that that I really was missing spring. Please be wrong Phil! Spring please hurry???!

Update...

So, it'll have been 3 weeks tomorrow. Time sure has flown by. Our little Dallas is pretty much on a schedule now. I am sure grateful to not be walking a baby to sleep for 3 hours at a time in the wee hours of the morning. I feel like I am finally getting used to the lack of sleep. Well, maybe its the caffeine I have allowed myself as of late. He he.
Brooklyn and Mason are adjusting very well now. It really helps that they are sharing their room now and Dallas isn't waking them up every night.


Brooklyn just lost her 5th tooth! This is interesting because I found out that she got her last tooth out by hitting it with a stone! WHAT? And here I thought kids were usually scared to get their teeth out. This time I made sure she didn't use a rock but she sure did twist and twist all day long to get it out. At this rate, the tooth fairy will be broke pretty soon. Lol!
