If you’re bored, check out my husband’s ridiculous shoe collection that he’s so proud of. Seriously serious stuff.

Wylder’s party was featured on Ohdeedoh today! This site has so many creative ideas for kiddos. You’ll love it. Check it out!

He still has an extremely passionate bond with his binky.
He poops his pants just about everyday.
He would rather use a wall than a coloring book for his endless circle drawings.
He talks most of the time, but has to rely heavily on his two best translators.
BUT…
The boy can really heat up a whistle. -
Just cruising through my college friend’s blog and saw this classic photo of her two kiddos during their daily pre-nap reading ritual.
Do you see what I see?

Exhibit A
Wylder loves, loves, loves coloring. He giggles the moment I offer him a coloring book. You would think this would be the perfect gift, wouldn’t you?
Exhibit B
Don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge fan of the Leapster Tag. What a generous, educational birthday gift, right? Well…
Where in the ever-loving world would my sweet angel learn something like this?
What??? You’re trying to tell me that two-year-olds need a certain amount of supervision? You serious, Clark?I guess I didn’t get that memo.

1. I am here to confirm that even though I’ve already said it, my morning/all day nausea has for real, for real subsided completely. I mean, minus the occasional toothbrush gag,...but that is totally to be expected, right? I even went to the gym today.
2. While we’re on the subject of mini Smitty, I’m going to the doctor tomorrow for the first time. I’m twelve weeks. Don’t you think that seems like a long time for the first OB appointment? I mean, the thought of the possibility of two babies being in there is making my palms a little sweaty. For the love, give me a heartbeat or something!
3. I’m afraid we have a little Chatty Charles on our hands.
In fact, he actually stole my phone yesterday and called my sister four times, chatting it up with every single member of her family before I caught him.
4. Oh, yeah! (TMI alert!!!!) Wylder pooped in the big potty today. Okay, so it probably doesn’t really count. I had to give him a suppository because it had been a while. Should it count? You tell me. Either way, he wasn’t near as excited as he should’ve been. Just kept reading his book like nothing happened. He didn’t even finish his chocolate chip reward. What in the world?
5. Just saw that The Pioneer Woman has us listed as one of her favorite websites! So exciting. Check her blog out if you haven’t yet. Extremely entertaining and there are some amazing giveaways!

Thanks to everyone who entered the Smitty Baby $50 giveaway! Here’s an intense video that shows how the winner was chosen. Okay, so I usually don’t video from an Iphone, so excuse the narrow view…I’m learning.
Congratulations to Comment #26, Tanya M, who said…
If I could be so lucky enough to win I would spoil my 37 week BFF with a v-neck tee, some burp cloths, and the fabric blocks. Lovely and thank you!
Looks like you were lucky enough to win!
And for those of you who would like to get to know Tanya and her creative creations, visit her blog sweetcheese.
I appreciate everyone for stopping in and I promise to keep the giveaways coming!

It’s a giveaway! It’s a giveaway! It’s a giveaway!
Why? Because…
1. I just got home from an amazing week with my mom and sisters (Staycation 2010, baby!) and could use some cheering up. I feel like I have the after summer camp blues. Know what I mean?
2. It’s the end of summer and you probably spent all your money on family vacation so you could use a pick-me-up as well
3. My morning/all day sickness has officially subsided and I feel like celebrating! Yessssiiiiirrrrrrrreeeeeeee!
So here’s the deal. The winner of the giveaway will get $50 worth of BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW Smitty Baby products!
You could choose items like this.
Or this.
Or this.
Or these.
Or this.
Or these.
And a whole lot more! There’s a whole world of options, I tell ya.
What? You can’t believe it?
Well, believe it.
Cause it’s happening.
Maybe even for YOU!
So keep your fingers crossed, cruise through the shop, and leave a comment letting me know what item/items you would choose if you were the lucky winner. Contest ends this Friday at noon.
The winner will more than likely be randomly chosen by a two-year-old that desperately needs a haircut.
So, in his words, “One, two, nine, GO!”

This year, two years old was celebrated at our house in a big way! After hearing countless times at the grocery store, “What’s her name?” I figured it was high time for a MAN PARTY! I know, I know…a simple hair cut would probably do the trick, but I love his silky, red waves!
I got the idea on this blog a while back and thought it looked so fun. And with the help of my amazing sisters and mother, everything went without a hitch. Most importantly, the man of the hour had a great time as well.
Of course, he’ll use any excuse to get to wear his fedora.
Would you believe that all these neck ties (minus four) came from my dad?
Chocolate/buttercream, vanilla/buttercream, chocolate/peanutbutter, and vanilla/peanut butter cupcakes! My sister’s secret frosting recipe is the bomb diggity. If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out.
Chocolate mustache suckers and white chocolate dominos for the guests.
They were so much cuter on the table than smeared into the rug and ottoman. But, totally worth it!
Napkin neck ties.
This man especially enjoyed himself. We had to interrupt his game of chess to get this photo.
The gift opening was much more special for the birthday boy this year. He “Ohhhhhhh"ed over every present and card. Such a gentleman.
“Shoooooooooooes!” He loves them. Takes after his dad.
The candles were blown with such dignity and style.
I’ll go out on a limb and say that fun was had by all!
Thanks to everyone who made my littlest redhead’s day so special. And thanks to my sweet niece for offering her candid party shots for this blog and to our amazing photographer friend, Caleb, for taking the posed “framed” portraits.
As for next year….McDonald’s is sounding pretty durn good about right now.
