Little Sister.

Not so "little" anymore. Check out those cheeks!!

Date Night.

Yea...Travis and I had our first "date night" since baby V came into the world. We went to the Kings of Leon concert at the Gorge. It was such a good concert and we had great seats. We met up with our friends Ross and Abby, who also just had a baby, so Abby and I talked about babies while Ross and Travis drank Tequila out of flask. Needless to say, I drove us home:))

Exhausting...

2 year olds are exhausting and how I am NOT counting down the days until they are 3...i heard the 3's are even worse. I am so tired today. Violet got up at 4am and for some reason I couldn't go back to bed. Right now, I am so tired I haven't exercised today, I haven't washed my hair since Saturday, I am drinking coffee at 5pm and I literly can't peel myself off this couch right now. My house looks like the toy aisle at Target has exploded. Dishes are piling up in my sink because I haven't unloaded the dishwasher. I have about 5 loads of laundry that need to be folded and put away. My house is a disaster and you wouldn't know that I pay cleaners to come and clean on a weekly basis. But one thing I did do today was, go around with touch up paint and paint the walls where the kids have colored, banged, and wiped their grubby hands on. Oh, and we actually did go to the park.

I have been sitting here listening to the twins play..it's my favorite thing to do, of course when they aren't battling. Right now Presley is putting her babies to sleep singing, "Nap time, Nap time, Go to sleep, Go to sleep" for those of you who know Yo Gabba Gabba, know what song this is, I am sure. Just before she was telling them they had "icky poo poo butts", that is what I have been calling her poopy diapers. Cash is trying to kick a soccer ball all over. Ahhh, the difference between boys and girls. I love it. I love it that Cash is obsessed with sports, this week being soccer. He loves trucks, cars and everything that has to do with boys. Presley loves her babies, loves to color and isn't really into sports, but she loves to dance and sing.

All this and little Violet is sleeping so soundly in her swing...but I have changed her 3 times due to exploding diapers. Oh, and the diaper situation, don't even get me started........I am so freaking sick of changing diapers. Is it bad I let the twins run around with the diaper hanging down to their knees before I change it, because I do? Don't judge. Seriously a 9-5 job is looking pretty good right about now!

A Day at the Lake.

Last year Travis built a house on Lake Kachess for these amazing clients who are always inviting us to come visit. Travis has been super busy and we haven't seen much of him, so he took the afternoon off on Thursday and we went up for a visit. The house is right on the water and they have lots of toys, boats, and seadoos, so the twins were in heaven.

10 weeks.

Baby V is 10 weeks. As you can see, she's definately filling out quite nicely. She loves to eat and she doesn't have to share her food like the twins did, so we're getting some nice size cheeks on her. I think she looks a lot like Travis now. She's been sleeping from 9:00pm-5am for the past 4 days, but now that I've written that, I am sure she'll get up at 2am tonight. She still is such a perfect baby and I am still loving every minute!

Future Picassos.

The twinnies LOVE to paint. They spend a good hour or so painting away. I love listening to them interact with eachother and their little conversations. It's priceless.

First Bottle.

Baby V had her first bottle yesterday. I have been bfing her exclusively and I'd like to have a little freedom at times, so it was time to introduce her to the bottle. She took it like a champ. Thank heaven for a breast pump! I am gearing up for Travis and I's first date night this weekend...we are headed to the George for the King of Leon concert and I can't wait to drink some beer!!

She's been blessed with big eyes. As a baby, I had the biggest blue eyes, so I am glad that all my kids got them. Their light blue color is from their daddy. I love blue-eyed babies.

Morning time, hence the beautiful pic of me....as the mom and most often the picture taker, it's rare to get a good photo. I'll take it no matter what I look like.

Baby Violet is precious and I can't seem to stop kissing her. I put her in her bed at night, then for some reason, she finds herself in our bed, cuddled so sweetly next to me. I love it. The twins were on such a routine and they slept in their cribs from day 1, so I never got that. I know I am probably creating a monster, but hey...she's my last baby and I seem to break all the rules.
