A Little Catch Up

I have been a lazy blogger. 

I attribute a few things to my lazy blogging attitude toward writing lately.

1. Pinterest. I think I now officially have a relationship with this site. Yes, I just used the word "relationship" about a website. I sit and pin about this idea and that recipe. Yet, I have only done a few recipes from it. All those projects that I have pinned are just dreams for now.  I seriously do not have time to do all those projects because I am too busy finding more projects to pin. Ha!

2.Organizing. Jeremy and I usually do our spring cleaning during the first of the year. There is no yard work to be done and our work load at the office is not too bad so we try to use this time to start cleaning out and reorganizing for the new year. Since we have two little ones and both of us work outside the home, it takes me forever to get a task done. I try to do it when they are asleep which is usually my blogging time.

Okay, enough of this jibber jabber. Here is a little of what this month has looked like for us...

Chase has decide that he must drink hot chocolate (yes, out of a straw) when Jeremy and I have our morning coffee except he looks cooler than us with his Starbucks cup.

Speaking of cool....

 there is nothing cooler than this look Isabella has perfected.

We can't help but...

smile when my niece Avonlea is around. 

She smiles all the time which makes all of us smile right back.

 My other smiling niece, AK, celebrated...

her 2nd Birthday. Here she is with my sister, Lisa.

 Isabella's 2nd birthday is coming up in a few weeks and...

 we realized that she just might want a kitchen. My two could barely party with the rest of us because they were too busy "cooking" in the kitchen.

 Another reason, we were excited to drive three hours to this party was....

that we got to meet our newest family member.

I just wish I had gotten a picture of me holding him!

 Here are the girls....

taking a juice break.

They play so well together already. 

Looking forward to a lot of this for all of our future get togethers.

 I had to throw this picture in because...

I thought it was neat how this is a dress in a much smaller size which Isabella wore last year. I found the shirt and pants that match at a consignment sale and made the dress a tunic. I love reworking an outfit!

 After Isabella was done showing off her old/new outfit at church,

we crashed hard in nap mode that afternoon. I must say that it is a good Sunday afternoon if ALL four of us fall asleep. Chase does not take naps anymore so it is a miracle if this happens.

 I am glad he rested up the day before because on Monday...

he had to get a cavity filled. I was a bit worried how he would do. Once they put "Mr. Nose" on him and filled him up with laughing gas, all was well. 

 The only problem was...

he kept biting the side of his mouth while he had no feeling in it. So they put these cotton rolls in his mouth to make him stop.

After the dentist, we took off to do a little shopping for Isabella's birthday. 

She was beginning to get a little fussy and in need of a good nap. She insisted on Abby and Grover sitting beside her in the cart which kept her sweet, quiet, and still for a bit longer.

We were inspired by the kitchen she played with at AK's party and we found one for 1/2 price while Bella was visiting with her two HUGE friends. It was exactly like the one I had in mind so I am quite pleased and am looking forward to giving it to her on her birthday.

I do believe I am caught up on my blog.

Are you still with me?

Or do you have picture overload?

Now, please excuse me because I am sure I need to find something on Pinterest for whatever I was hankering for dinner.
