New hair color

So i got sick of my hair and wanted to do something different. I didn't want to cut it so the only thing left was color. I went dark. It's been a long time since i have done an all over color with no blonde highlights. I love it!! I think it looks darker in person so you will just have to see me to see for yourself!

Zing, Zang Zoom

Last week the boys and I along with Grammy K went to the circus. It was Carson's first circus and he was a trooper. The kids had fun and so did my mom and I! Here are some pictures from the day.

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day Chad!!

Favorite things for the week

Some of my new favorite things:

My Snow Cone Barista!!!

I went to Target yesterday and saw all these fun supplies for making snow cones! Horray!!! Colie can eat ice all day long and sometimes he eats ice for lunch and dinner. So, as a fun treat I thought i would get a snow cone maker. We love it! So, if you are in the neighborhood stop in for a snow cone!

My next favorite things are my new growth charts!!! I have been meaning to get some growth charts for the boys but have never gotten around to it. I was browsing through some etsy stores and came across some cute growth charts that were totally affordable. They are so stinking cute and were only $15 each!! If you would like the link to the store just let me know. I love etsy, it's a great place for homemade goods. Most of you know that i sale some stuff on etsy, but if you haven't ever visited etsy.com I suggest you do. Lots of neat things.

Where will Colie sleep next???

So I am almost positive that I have posted pictures in the past of random places that Cole sleeps. He has a bed, but sometimes he chooses not to sleep in it. Below are some cute pictures of my little Colie sleeping.

What kid doesn't pass out in the carseat?My little Colie BearDaddy I am so tired, take me home please!I will not sleep in my bed, i repeat WILL NOT sleep in my bed so...I will snuggle up with these two walls. Whatever buddy! But the best spot yet...................................................................................................................

Carsie had woken up from his afternoon nap. I went to go and shut Cole's door so we wouldn't wake up and didn't see him in his bed. I thought crap, where is he?? I look around and here is where my precious Cole decided to take a nap. I busted up laughing and ran down the hall to get my camera thinking to myself I hope he doesn't wake up so I can take a picture of this.........

That my friends is Cole taking a nap on his diaper changing pad. I could not stop laughing when I saw this. By the time I had snapped the next picture I think I had woken Cole from his REM stage of sleep. he looks pissed and is thinking to himself what the heck are you doing Mom I am trying to sleep.Sweet Dreams Buddy!!!

splash pad crazy

So we have gone crazy at the splash pad in our neighborhood. We go almost every single day!! My boys love it there. Cole still cries everytime we leave thinking we may never come back. Who is he kidding!?! With a dirt front yard, grazz we can step on and a whole heck of a lot more dirt in the back yard, what are we to do?? Her are some pictures with our friends from Tuesday playgroup and Coles' other friends.
On Wednesday we splashed and played then had a picnic. Cheryl brought huge cheetos which Carson seemed to enjoy!!Getting water dumed on them!Tanner, Cole and Carson checking out the carCole with his lady friends from Tuesday playgroupSnack time! I brought otter pops for all the kiddos!

My Etsy Store

A couple of months ago I decided to open up an etsy store to sell some of my stuff. So far so good. I am having so much fun making stuff and wanted to share with you guys my newest creations. I started making personalized reversible super hero capes for boys and girls. I love them and think they are the cutest things. I posted some pictures of other stuff i have been up to. You can see my etsy store at trulyyoursgifts.etsy.com

this past week

Chad and I have been super busy cleaning up the old house, unpacking the new house and working on landscaping. We LOVE our new house and see a lifetime of happiness here with our family. The boys are going to have so much fun in our backyard and in the cul de sac. I love that when Carson is in bed, Cole and i can go out front and ride our bikes around the middle section. What i love the most is it being a single story, i so do not miss our stairs...

Come and get me mommy!! Carson is fast and everytime i turn around, he was always up the stairs. He would laugh when he knew i was coming after him. What a little stinker!We have decided not to put the gate up in Cole's room. So far it's working out ok. This is where i caught him taking his nap the other day. Really? you have a comfy bed and you decide to sleep here...ok!Helping out and having fun with Daddy!Cole has two favorite things right now. The first is monster trucks and the second is trains. Chad and i seem to get into competition with each other about our killer tracks that we build. Well, i think i take the cake on this one!!
