Sneak Peak

I know I have been talking about finishing my basement for awhile now, well we just got the carpet installed:) All the finishing touches aren't done yet so I am not going show all the pictures but here are some along the way.

Jason is suited up to spray the basement while me and the kids evacuate the premises. The next weekend we rolled the whole basement (so take notice of the beautiful color on the wall). It took us from 7:30 am to 10:30 at night to get it all done, we even had a babysitter watching our kids and it still took us that long.

This is the future play room, I designed the shelves so they fit my containers exactly. I can't wait to have all the toys downstairs.

This is the Kitchenette. They are installing the tile in this picture. Now there are cabinets there but the sink, microwave and fridge aren't so I don't want to take the final picture til it is all done.

SO there, I have caught you up on some major events in my life: the basement semi-finish, Zack's Birthday, and Baby Brooklyn. Now I remember why I don't blog very often. These 4 blogs have taken me 3 hours, between feeding Brooklyn, getting the pictures to come up right and fixing my horrible English, it takes me forever. Surprisingly what you read is the polished version.

Future Blogs: Finished Basement, Brooklyn's Blessing, and Brock's Baptism

Thanks for Checking my blog now and again.

"Hop-PEE" Birthday Zack

Zack absolutely enjoyed his birthday. Every time someone said happy birthday he would say "hop-PEE" with the end of the word being an octave higher. While the Happy Birthday song was being sung he would waggle his head like an old blues singer. He actually has quite a passion for music, when a song comes on he has to get up and move to the rhythm.

Most of his presents were baseball related, that is his other passion. He can make anything into a bat and ball. He has brought me sticks, swords, and bowling pins to be the bat and anything round will do for the ball.

OK so this is the only non-baseball gift he got. He was so cute, he would only push it long enough for the bubbles to come out and then chase the bubbles. Sweet, now I don't have to blow them for him.

Girls are fun?!

Brooklyn at one week old. She definitely doesn't look like the picture I had in my head. I guess I thought that since she was a girl she would take after my coloring a little (illogical, I know) Where did all this dark coloring come from? If it is Jason's side I sure hope she gets the blue eyes.

Brooklyn at one month old and still oh so sweet.

Yep, we still look nothing a like.

It's kind of like having a little doll you can dress up. How come boys were never this fun to dress?

I thought this picture was precious, Jason only notices his ginormous hand.

Zack can't figure out why he isn't the baby anymore. He actually has been really good with Brooklyn. He loves to give her kisses on the head and always asks if he can "hode her". He tries to be a helper too by giving her the Binky (backwards) and finding a bottle and letting her suck on it air and all.

Three's a crowd

OK, so it has been a while since I have blogged last. I have to say 3 kids have kicked my butt. I am slowly getting into a routine but Oh man have I been busy. I am happy to say that I have 100 percent of my energy back. I don't know what I would do if I still had the pregnancy drag (having Zero energy and taking a nap everyday).
The things that have kept me busy are ordinary everyday things like cleaning, cooking (it's getting pretty rare these days though), nursing(which is slowly taking less time as she gets older), changing diapers x2, chasing Zack, Brock's homework/school parties and baseball, trying to finish this basement, getting the yard ready for summer, and sometimes if I am lucky snuggling with Brooklyn.
I know I am preaching the choir, but I just wanted to let you know I am rededicating myself to blogging and reading every ones blogs.
I will start with blogging four times in one day.
