April in Review

Peyton is soooo very close to speaking.  His mouth gets all puckered up and kind of spits.

His new thing is to turn his head side to side very quickly as to say no, but when he stops, he just smiles. :}

Peyton is getting better at rolling over.  He used to just let his head roll him over, now he moves his legs up and then rolls.  He only rolls over from his tummy.

He is learning to rotate in his jumper-roo.

We have only been on one stroller ride as it is still cold here and we have gotten snow after our first ride.

Why yes, I am talking to the heater lol

Daddy asked for an easy outfit-

a shirt and pants with feet!

First try of prunes---

anticlimactic  lol

But with a little help from a friend  

Thanks CJ!

My mom bought him this car-

we told him it wasn't a Buick lol

He really does love it lol

Official Stats:  14 pounds 8.5 oz

Our 6th month

Randy's birthday present.

We started swimming classes at a local school.

He's really lovin' this thing!!! 

Randy and I take turns with swimming lessons.

Peyton chills in his boppy for at least 10 minutes!!

Mr serious!!

Just a few toys! Yes these are different than the toys

 in the living room where his boppy is!

Same outfit but different children, of course.

Why I love my friends!!

Today is Earth Day and Peyton's half birthday.

SpiderPeyton

For Randy's birthday, I surprised him with this Spiderman photo shoot!

 Of course, I bring my own spider web, doesn't everyone have a spider web???

This one is my favorite by far :}

Love his smile :}

NorthWood Candle Company

I was given the opportunity to sample some candles, I couldn't pass that up!  I have never heard of the NorthWood Candle Company before, so I did some investigating.

(Apparently, someone else thought they smelled good too!
You can see CJ's nose off to the left.)

When I got the box, I glanced at the return address and low and behold it came from Eden Prairie Minnesota.  Someone in my house will be very happy with that!

I made contact with the NorthWood Candle Company and was informed that I could pick a few scents out that I might want to try, although they couldn't guarantee that I would get them all. So I found their fragrance descriptions page.  I absolutely love their descriptions!!


When I opened the box, it smelled awesome!  Sometimes, you go into candle stores and it smells weird with all of them blending together, but not these. I got... wait for it....  NINE different tea lights, one large candle, and a room spray.  Wait, I didn't know they had room sprays!

Tea lights I received:

Butterfly Hugs- a very delicate smell- fills my living room very nicely.  This would be a good scent for the baby's room.  :} This scent lasted for two days. I loved the scent so much, I didn't want to burn another candle yet lol
Teakwood & Cardamom- this would be so good in a woodsy home
Fresh Cut Grass- smells exactly what freshly cut grass smells like!
Coco Mango- smelled good while burning- a very light smell
Monkey Farts- (yeah I can't make up names like that!) a close second
Both Frosted Pinecones and Cracklin' Birch would be perfect for the winter months.
Cotton Candy- smelled good without the calories!
Cracklin' Birch- another great one for the log cabin :}
Hot Baked Apple Pie-  no calories here either!

The large candle was Icicles and the room spray was Aloe and White Lilac.  The large candle smelled even when not lit.  It covered several rooms when lit and also when it wasn't!!

I used the room spray for the baby's room.  It lasted a very long time and isn't overpowering.

Candle fundraising

I would also like to try the Tranquility scent.  I soon realized that I couldn't just leave the tea light on the table, so I went in search of a tea light holder and the two I grabbed were a little to small lol I did find one that fit though- it was a frog. Another thing that I realized is that my large candle still smells even when not lit!


Although, I was given these samples, all the opinions are mine!

March in Review

We began March by celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday.

The bedding is Dr. Seuss. I brought down a Grinch stuffed toy.

 umm.... good thing we had a back-up clothing for this day lol

Peyton is all cuddled up in his boppy- with a little extra warmth from CJ's ear lol

 He's my super hero!

Here's my Gamma and her great-grandson. 

My little man. 

So here is the story behind this shirt- this is the shirt that I gave Randy 

to tell him we were having a baby last March.

CJ and Peyton time.

They are really becoming best buds.

Here is the evolution of the diapers!

Newborn, one's, and now two's!

Very Hungry Caterpillar Day outfit.

We ended VHC day with reading 3 Carle books.

Easter Shoot

Seriously, why is he looking over there?  I wasn't even standing there!  lol
