Quick while he's napping! :)

4 months old

These three get lots of play time together

Crazy just how much this girl has grown!

This dog toy is his favorite. Was screaming in the store, spotted it and stopped. Loves it!

You like my previous couple of posts? hehe But when I get codes or asked by the companies to do posts and get free stuff, like 50 Christmas cards, $10 off a purchase and 50 free Valentines cards, this Mom on a budget does it. :)
However we have been busy busy here. Just trying to keep up with life and each other. Eli turned 4 months yesterday. Had his check up today and is 14lbs 9 oz! Gotta love it.He is also 24.75 long. SO 50% for everything.
Madison also had a check up today. 63lbs and 4'3", this girl is on the 80%for height and weight but averages out to 70 with the combo of the two! My kids sure keep me busy. You should check out the mess of a room that Madison has. Maybe I will try and post one later. but ... life just might happen. There are boxes everywhere in there. I had enough of the mess, grabbed  4 boxes and we are de-cluttering for a garage sale this summer. If shes' not going to respect it or take care of it, use it or put it away, its disappearing.
We finally choose a paint color for Eli's room. But first we have to remove all the trim and moulding pieces, prime the walls and then paint. Put on new trim and the blinds we got and this kid just might get into his won room by his 1st birthday. Lets be real, we don't move to fast and right now with the whole nursing and only being 4 months, I'm not in to much of a hurry anyways. And he is doing just fine in his bassinet right now. (until he can pull himself up that is)
Any ways I hear a rattle moving, which means little buddy has woke up. Back to real life.

Valentines is Just around the corner

Here in my family Valentines is pretty  low key. The hubby goes the the Chocolate basket in Portland, where they have some of the best chocolate. Madison and I usually make some cards for the family and for school. However, this year I am excited to try  Valentine cards. I loved their Christmas one that we got and am excited to try these. There are so many though that I 'm not sure that I can choose which one we will use. Like these:


If you haven't tried Tiny Prints before I recommend you do. You can also check them out on their facebook page, pinterest page.


I will have to let you know what we choose when we are done! Hope you like this too!

December

Lots of fun this month. Eli has started to take to playing and showing an interest in his toys and at the end of the month has become quite the wiggler. He is also getting a pretty strong core and will be sitting up on his own sooner then later.

Madison had her vocal concert this month as well. It is a lot of fun listening to them all sing and how excited they get about their songs. Especially one that they worked on and wrote the words to themselves.

The beginning of the month our niece Bella turned 4, Crazy how fast the time goes by. We celebrated with her and other family and friends at Big Al's Bowling. Madison got really good. She even got a strike once and a a few spares. We better watch out, she will soon be beating us, no problem.

Then break started and we had lots of fun hanging out together as a family. Watching Christmas movies, playing games and just being together.

Christmas was lots of fun too. Christmas eve with my family, Christmas morning with James' dad at our place, followed by his sisters and mom. Then we went and had dinner at Grandma's. Lots of fun times. The kids got spoiled too! Next year will be fun for Eli. He slept through most of this years. Madison loved her toys and got the one thing she asked for, a guitar and plenty more too. :D
