About a week and a half ago, Alex went to his first Halloween party! My girlfriend took him while I got ready for our big vacation up to Michigan, so I missed it, but I got so much done! Luckily she took a bunch of pictures, so it felt like I was there! He borrowed one of her costumes because I am a procrastinator when it comes to Halloween. But I will…
This post should be titled “Photo Shoot of Two Really Adorable Running Fans and Two Blurry Running Photos”, but I thought that would be a little too long. Well, John and Jose finished their 2nd Detroit Marathon yesterday! John’s time was 4:20.02 and Jose’s time was 4:30.57. Pretty awesome if you ask me! Sarah, Alex, Parker and I were all there to cheer them on =] They were extremely proud of these…
Just a quick afternoon announcement for you all! We are so excited to have another little dude around the house =] Mom and Luna will now be outnumbered! But hey, we already have an entire wardrobe for this little man. Hooray for a houseful of boys! Or as John would put it, “We’re building a football team!”
Sunday, we had planned to take Alex to the pumpkin patch to pick out his pumpkin. My parents were in town so we planned to make a fun afternoon of it. This picture is the result of a no-nap day and being “all done”. I picked out a farm that had gotten good reviews from quite a few other moms that I know. So we trekked out there, parked and walked up…
I was so bad at taking pictures of myself during my pregnancy with Alex. I had a lot of weekly photos that I took in the mirror when I actually remembered, but nothing awesome (except for our maternity photos!). Then Pinterest came along, towards the end of my pregnancy, with all of these adorable weekly/monthly photos of pregnant ladies. For this pregnancy I have committed to a monthly picture. It is pretty…
Well, actually just one little thing happening around here. That’s right! Come March we will have another little addition to our family. We could not be more excited. We found out mid-July and have kept it under lock and key for this long! Can you believe it?! I really can’t. I’m a terrible secret keeper. So, bear with me as I learn to be pregnant with a toddler for the first time…
Hi there! As a single income household, we are always trying to find ways to save some dough. Today I thought I’d share a few ways that we have found to put a little cash back in our pockets savings account. (source) 1. Homemade Laundry Detergent – I was a little skeptical about this when I started searching for recipes. It’s hard to switch after using the brand names for so long…
Recently we have been trying to live a simpler life (and save a few bucks in the process). About a month ago, we finally took the plunge and cancelled our cable. It was and it wasn’t an easy decision. We knew we really didn’t need it and we actually didn’t watch that many channels to be paying so much. We also don’t want Alex growing up thinking TV is a main form…
I know I haven’t been around in quite some time. I attribute it to the little nugget needing undivided attention and cutting two molars at once. Oh and on the sleep regression that seems to be happening. Early last week, Alex started to become some strange version of himself. Grumpy, tired, and angry. All of the things he is usually not. After we realized it was his upper molars coming in, we…
Hey all! I realize this shindig happened a few weeks ago, I’ve been slacking! After attending another first birthday yesterday, I figured I should probably get on it! Let me start by saying that I never realized how much work could go into a first birthday party and that I never knew Alex had so many close friends and family. I think he is more popular than John and me. Probably because…
