Family Birthday Chart

Who is horrible at remembering birthdays? *raises hand in shame* I am horrible at remembering birthdays. We already forgot 2 birthdays this year, and would have forgotten a huge one but luckily we got a reminder. It's pathetic, my husband and I can never seem to remember birthdays. I don't have a calendar, and even when I did, I never used it.

 So this morning while going through blogs, I noticed my friend Christine posted this Family Birthday Chart that she made. Genius! I don't know how I will make one, because I'm not nearly as crafty as she is, but I will find a way. If you go to her site, she has all the how to's and everything you need on this project. Of all the people I know, she is the crafty queen, and I'm not lying! She is amazing at it all! Beautiful work Christine!

How stinkin' cute is that???  (image source)

My 3 year old

Little Chub!
Since I introduced my youngest on his birthday its only fair to introduce you to my oldest, the one who made me a mom. Today isn't his birthday, it was Sunday, but life was too busy to sit and blog, plus we were out of town.

So Neacel (said like diesel but with a "N") is my oldest. Neacel turned 3 on Sunday and it's so weird to me to think that he is already that old. He isn't the 8lb 14oz 22in baby I brought home from the hospital. He loves life and is full of spunk. He is such a smart boy, and just loves everyone. He is such a blessing in our home and reminds us daily to just love life, relax and have some juice! He is such a loving boy, but can be a stinker when he want too. He made it clear this year that he wanted to do a friend party. I loved every minute of it. He told me who he wanted to invite and what theme (Toy Story) we had a blast Friday with all of his friends. Sunday I kept saying happy birthday to him, he would get so mad and tell me "It's not my birthday, there is no parties or presents! Stop saying that too me" Kind of made me sad that he thought that Friday and Saturday was his birthday, but I guess at 3 it's still difficult to wrap your mind about your actual birthday and what it's really about. Neacel was our surprise baby, we had him on the 13th of November and celebrated our first anniversary 3 days before he arrived. We are so blessed to have him in our life, and are so thankful that Heavenly Father has trusted us with this special soul.

Mommy, Daddy and Broden love you so much. Thanks for all your hugs and kisses, for your fun loving spirit and spunk you bring to the family. Thanks also for giving Daddy repair projects to do around the house, we wouldn't want him to get rusty!



My Sweet 1 Year Old


I wasn't going to put my kids on this blog but decided you should probably know that they are real. You hear about silly things they do, and will see pictures of them reviewing certain products, so I'm using today to introduce my youngest to you....

Happy 1st Birthday to my sweet Broden! He of course is our youngest and the past year has been such a joy to have this bundle of joy apart of our lives. Brody (as we call him) was 8lbs 4oz and 21 inches long. More hair then you can imagine! That explains the heartburn before I could get a positive test!!! He has rock star hair and lungs, I swear! Although I dream pink and want a little girl SOOOO bad, I love my little dudes. I love that the Lord has trusted me with 2 hyper, fun loving, sweet souls to raise. Broden just started really walking, and loves everything. Smiles at everyone and loves his big brother so much. This first year with him was tough at times, learning to be a mom of 2 was tough, then add that they are both boys....double trouble! I'm so proud of the toddler he is becoming. His personality just lights up a room. Mommy and Daddy love you Brody and are so proud of you!!!!

For his birthday we are taking him to dinner tonight (a tradition in my family) and then buying a little cake for him to smash into! I know my little chunk will eat the whole thing. Food is not an issue with him!!!
