"Eggs"cellent

I have been looking for a spring wreath for awhile to hang on my door. Like I have said before I am not crafty at all but I saw this really cool Easter wreath from Tip Junkie. (you can click on this link to get the tutorial) and since I couldn't find a wreath that wasn't going to cost me an arm and a leg. I thought that it would be fun to make and it seemed pretty easy and inexpensive to make, which it was! Since I was going to be making one myself I thought that it would be fun to have some company so I emailed some friends last week to see if anyone wanted to make one with me. It ended up being a really fun craft night with the girls!! I am pretty proud of myself and my wreath making accomplishments. I think the wreath turned out great and it looks great hanging up on my door! I liked it so much that I almost wanted to keep it inside so I could look at it everyday. I have been waiting for some neighbors to come knocking on my door asking me where I bought it so I can for once act like I am crafty!!

Us working diligently on our wreaths.
Rebecca are you trying to hot glue Shellie??

Top to Bottom, Left to Right: Connie, Shayleen, Rebecca, Lisa, Dawnelle, Me and Shellie. Picture taken by Lazette: she was there just to hang out with us!

I know the neighbor's are jealous they are just to afraid to admit it!

My table was feeling a little empty so I helped it out.

What 2 crafty things in one month, I rule!!!

Fitting inside the box!

I have a lot of these cube bins that you can buy at Target. Some are in Davis's and Cole's room, the playroom, the closet, they are everywhere throughout our house. I mainly use them to store toys. I LOVE these bins. I feel somewhat organized with them so it seems like I keep buying them here and there and so over time I have accomplished to get a collection of them. Anyway, I have some sitting next to the cradle in our bedroom. I store diapers, wipes, burp cloths you know the typical baby stuff in them. But, I had no idea that I could store my children in them until now!!!! Good to know!

Working out bites the dust!!

Who here thinks that working out stinks and would rather crawl back into your nice comfy bed, RAISE your hand!!! Ohh....me......yep...me right here!!!

Who here thinks that people getting up at 6:30 in the morning to exercise are CRAZY....let me just add before their children wake up even, RAISE your hand!!! Ohh...me again!!

Who here thinks that when you are sooooo sore that you can't even sit on the toliet to pee you shouldn't workout anymore, RAISE your hand......ohhh....over here....I think so!!!

These are most of my thoughts this week and that is what I have been up to!

1, 2, 3, 4

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything so I thought I'd get on here and add a quick note and a song to the playlist.

Jess had a dentist appointment today which left me with watching Cole while at work and Davis was at our friend Dawnelle's house. I got a bit nervous he would start crying so I took him out to the car and sat out there and played with him for a bit. I had the radio on and this Plain White T's song came on. I don't think it's even close to the "Delila" song but I still liked it. A simple song to convey a strong feeling. So while I listened to it I thought it would be a great song to add to the blog and dedicate it to Jessie! SO Jessie.....make sure you turn the volume on so you can hear it! We're going to slow this one down a bit! Hopefully this post will help me get some extra tv or free time in!! Just kidding, but really....I hope it does. Just kidding....

Have you ever seen so much hair!

Cole has so much hair that it is hard to believe that a baby could be born with this much. When my mom told me that I had that much hair as a baby I didn't believe it until I saw the pictures myself. The most impressive part about it was my hair never fell out so I am very curious if his will, which it hasn't yet. But, what people don't know is that it really is a pain to deal with. My mom finds it very funny that I complain about it because my hair was the same way. I have to constantly wet and brush his hair to get it to lay down which doesn't work because once it is dry it just sticks straight back up. Plus when he sleeps on it and wakes up it is sticking up all over the place anyway. The only way you can get it to lay down is if it gets oily which it usually does by the end of the day. The problem that I have is that I hate it when it looks oily, I like it when it is clean looking. So, in order to keep it clean looking I have to wash it every day and once it is washed it goes right back to sticking straight up. Anyway, what I am trying to get at is that I have no idea what to do with his hair. I mean what can you do besides just let his hair look crazy all the time. He looks like he needs a hair cut but I am not going to cut a 10 week old babies hair and I don't even know if there is a place that would! Who would have thought that I would have a baby with such high maintenance hair or would have thought that he would have a mother that is so particular about his hair! I just never expected to be dealing with the hair thing until he was older. If he was a girl it wouldn't be so bad because you could put all sorts of cute bows and clips in it. But there isn't much that you can do with a boy. Knowing my luck we will have a girl and she will be bald as can be because Cole stole all the hair!

I guess he just knew that the new hair style that guys are wearing these days is longer hair and so he wanted to come out "in style".

Blessed Choo Choo Train!

Today Davis and I were sitting down about ready to eat lunch and this is the conversation.

Me: Who is going to say the prayer?

Davis: I do!

Me: Okay, go ahead

Davis: Heavenly Fader, (gibbersih words) food, (more gibberish words) day, (some more gibberish words) mommy, daddy, Cole, choo choo train. Cheezes Qrist, Amen.

Me: Good prayer, Davis!

Our son was named after our other son....

Okay...THANKS to those that left comments on who you thought our kids look like. I would have to say overall they must have a good mix of both Nick and I, which makes me feel a little better since all that I hear all the time is how much they look like Nick!!

Any who.....on to more important topics. I just have to say that I have not written about this earlier because Nick did not want me to. It is a story that I will probably never forget. This is something that I think you guys will thoroughly enjoy. Which I one day hope that my children will read about this and get a good laugh out of what their father did.

You are probably wondering what in the world is up with this title. Well...it means exactly what is says. Cole (our son) was named after our other son (Davis), meaning Cole's full legal name is Cole Philip Davis. Yep....TRUE story!! We got Cole's birth certificate confirmation letter in the mail that Nick had filled out while we were in the hospital and Nick legally named our son Cole Philip Davis!! I wonder how many fathers name their son after their other son!

.

We had the option of changing his name right away which would take anywhere from 6-12 weeks to get his name changed but that could of put us over the deadline to file our taxes. So we had to wait and file our taxes with his name being Cole Philip Davis and now that we have our tax return we can finally change Cole's name, to officially being a Bettes, his real name!!

Poor Nick......but isn't that Hi-larious???
