hands full


2 hands + 3 kids = aaahhh!

I went to the the mall two days ago.

3 people told me "it looks like you have your hands full."

Do they think I don't know that already....


How to juggle three kids?

I don't know yet.

Still learning.


We made it to an Easter egg hunt this morning.

Barely.

We had a great time with Aunt Ali!

I've been talking to the kids about Easter.

They are very anxious.

Papa took them to go buy plastic eggs,

and they won't stop talking about it.


Tony's been out of town for 13 days..

3 more days to go...

HURRY!!!

Really looking forward to NEXT WEEK!!

baby colton

GUEST POST:

Abby's little sister {Ali} here.

My sister is in the process of boxing up/moving, mothering 3 children, being a wife, and being stylish while in the process, and so she asked me to post pictures of Colton because I have them on my computer....and I've failed at posting until now.

She thought I was going to upload some pictures and call it good.

no way.

.

First of all, my sister is incredible. There are times when I consider her just a good old sister but after she graciously asked me to be in the room when she delivered Colton, I will never look at her the same.

In a good way.

Watching Abby and Tony during the process was simply amazing.

It was very short. {Which I wasn't surprised} But it was so moving.

They worked together as a team.

Tony cheered her on and gave her the confidence to keep going.

Tears were shed...and maybe 3 groans by superwoman

and baby Colton arrived.

.

My heart was pounding and seeing them become parents of 3 was so special.

I couldn't help but feel the love of our Father in Heaven.

This little baby was just with Him, and then in my sisters arms.

Colton is a special little guy.

He has great parents and siblings that smother him to pieces.

This little one is so loved and so handsome.

.

I am a lucky aunt and a lucky sister!

Thanks Absterbaby for letting me be there.

my little present to Colton was the book,

Guess How Much I Love You.

and i really do love little Colton to the moon and back.

sun+baseball=boys trip


Tony's favorite time of year may just be in MARCH!
He looks forward to The Snarr Annual Boys Trip held in Arizona.
Not only is the company great, but he gets to see some great Major League Baseball games!
Plenty of sun, great food, batting practice, sunflower seeds, and late nights make for a great time had by all.

passing the time

I've been trying to stay busy before the baby comes. The last month I made three wreaths for our front door.
They're adorable, and were so fun to make. Each was made for less than $20

Info:
1. celebration wreath: I made this for our Super Bowl Party. But, of course it can be used for many occassions.
12 inch styrofoam wreath. Be prepared to buy over 200 balloons. Apply to wreath with small push pins.

2. spring wreath: Just made this last night with my friend Nicole. It seems so festive.
12 inch styrofoam wreath. 1.5 lbs of lima beans. spray paint the foam before, and spray again after all the beans are glued.

3. valentine's wreath. one of my favorites!
choose any size of heart. 1.5 feet of felt. Cut into tiny circles and apply with small push pins.

All three are easy DIY projects!
P.S. baby will be here in less than 7 sleeps!!
