My boys...

snuggling before bed tonight. :)

The end result

Now that Lauryn is almost 16 months old (I know I can't believe it either! :)), I think that we have finally finished  Lauryn's room.  Here are some pics of some finishing touches.   I can't believe that the crib will be coming down sooner than later...she is growing up too fast!  Just lately she has been coming to me (after hanging out in the other room :)), and saying "mommy" and grabbing her diaper when it is dirty.  I know it is a while away, but I sure hope potty training happens sooner than it did with the boys; although, once they were ready, it went pretty smooth. The boys have done an awesome job with it thankfully, and we are so proud of them.

We added her letters a long time ago.  But, I don't think I've taken or shared any pics.  I just love them!

and here's our little princess just waking up from her nap.

I found this girly shelf at Lowe's.

and hung a mirror above her dresser.  What a deal...$30 at Walmart, added some ribbon, and found a knob at Lowe's.  I thought it was just about perfect for that spot.  

And a friend made us this adorable bow holder.  I know, her collection is out of control (and that's not all of them)! :)  

Our sweet baby girl...

has not been feeling so great lately.  Between molars coming in, recovering from a cold and ear infection, and now an upset tummy, she has not been herself, and it just breaks my heart!  My hearty eater is not so much lately; and my happy, silly girl is not so much either. :)  Hopefully, she will have a restful nap today, and be on the road to recovery soon!

She LOVES her doggies!

I heard some giggling coming from Lauryn in the other room today, and this is what I found:

She was hugging, getting and giving kisses, and rolling around with Bella.
It was too cute...wish I would've had the video camera ready.

Valentine's Day

Happy belated Valentine's Day!  It's been a busy week, so I've been a little slack on the postings.  Anyways, I hope everyone had a great day!  We had a nice treat out that evening.  Thanks Mom and Dad!  We enjoyed the day with kids, then visited with my Mom and Dad, left the kids with them overnight, and enjoyed a nice, quiet night out to dinner at Ippolitos with no kids...so nice!  As you can see the boys enjoyed their candy.  And of course, Lauryn did too!

I guess this was the boys' V- day gift to us?! :)  Boys will be boys that's for sure!

Grampy's girl (you can forget mommy and daddy when Grampy's around. :))

Wordless Wednesday

Ring around the rosie...

One year ago today...

my baby girl was only 3 months old; and today, she is 15 months!  Can you tell that me and the boys have been going through old photos while Lauryn is taking a much needed LONG nap?  Have a great weekend!

My baby boys have always loved to...

snuggle in our bed. :)
