FIRST TOOTH

coop lost his first tooth

around these parts, we loose teeth late

coop's seven

here's his toothless smile
a little awkward because he's trying to show his missing tooth :)

he lost it at school while chomping on a apple

the school nurse gave him a little tooth treasure chest

kinda sad i missed the first lost tooth

although

i get the icks from anything tooth/blood related

so, i guess it all worked out

happy weekend!

A 10 YEAR OLD GIRL + AN IPOD = ????

this is what happens when a ten year old girl

receives an ipod for christmas

asking daddy for a yorkie puppy

putting a puppy curse on daddy



expressing her devotion to one direction

a talking kitten video

a sweet email

it's such a different world for this generation.

when i was a kid, i could have ever dreamed 

of this technology.

good or bad?

a good question

happy friday!

WHEN THE SAINTS COME MARCHING IN?

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY UNKIE!

on sunday my baby turned 4

he's my last, so every year that passes

weighs a little heavy on my heart

he's a joy

he's difficult

he's funny

he's talkative

he loves big

he hates big

he's the greatest kid 

ever 

(well, along with his brother and sister)

happy 4th birthday max!

years past.... :(

in honor of your 4th birthday 

here are 4 things i love about you....

1 - your funny, husky voice

2 - how much you love to talk... to everyone, 

when i say everyone... i mean it!!!!

3 - you're still my baby and let me cuddle and smooch you

4 - how much you love your family, especially 

your big brother and sister!

one more thing... just because

5 - you're a little sneaky sneaker! i've never known a 3/4 year old

who smuggles snacks out of the pantry into the playroom 

in his UNDERWEAR!! 

i love you max! your imagination is endless and i love

to just sit back and watch. you're growing and learning  so quickly. 

i pray time slows, so i can enjoy your childhood longer.

if i'm ever crabby or in need of a smile, i know i can count on you my love.

you completed our family. you're our little caboose.

and what a cute caboose you have:)

i love you to the moon and back my darling maxwell!

xoxo - mommy

IT'S HERE!

is it just me 

or is restoration hardware the 

quickest shipper? ever.

earlier this week, i shared my new purchase

this lovely floor task lamp....

20th Century Torpedo Task Floor Lamp in Vintage Brass - via

to remind you.

here is my before photo.

and here is the after...


a little closer...

 and another with a underwear clad max... trying to look cool.

kinda excited about this lamp.
if you couldn't tell.

it's the perfect match to this lamp
on the other side of the family room.

i'm kinda obsessed with brass lamps!
happy friday!

UNPLUGGED.

the kids are unplugged

until further notice

i see that someone scribbled on my sign in protest.

they need to find new forms of entertainment.

this mommy is sick and tired of computer game noises

filtering though the house 

AND

fighting over who's turn it is. :)

STILL OBSESSED.

i'm still obsessed with the eames rocker

one of my favorite furniture pieces!

it comes in many colors, and works in a variety of rooms and settings.

it's clean, simple and classic.

it works well in nearly any room.

i prefer the white over other colors.

one day i will get one

(and a yorkie puppy) :)
