Laundry, dishes and Ian, Oh My!

So much to blog about today! I should have been blogging a little each day so that I wouldn't have such a long post. So here goes...

The cookies that I won came in the mail on Thursday! How cute are these? Well let me tell you that they are so cute they were gone by Sunday night ;)

After our trip to the zoo with no hat for Ian, I decided to buy him some that fit. The one in the picture above is a dinosaur! How cute is he? And the one below has soccer balls, footballs and basketballs on it.

This is the big blizzard we had in OKC. :) I guess the weather guys over estimated what we would get. But evidentaly other parts of the state did get an actual blizzard, so I will give them that much.


Kylie and Kaitlynn spent Saturday night with Nana and Pawpaw. So Justin and I went over to hang out with them as well. We had fun making meatballs for dinner and cookies for dessert! The girls did most of the work. It was fun to watch them cook. And they are so sweet with Ian. I love to watch them with him. (picture above is Kaitlynn, picture below is Kylie)
Uncle David playing with Ian. Ian loved it!Daddy playing with Ian while us girls were in the kitchen making cookies and dinner.
I tried to give Ian a bath in my mom's sink. He did not like this at all. So we quickly got him out and forgot about the bath for that night. :)

So those are all of the pictures I am going to post for now. I want to check with AJ's mom first to see if it is ok that I post pictures of AJ on my blog. He is so cute and is a very good baby.

This weekend we were pretty busy. We started out early on Saturday morning (well early because we got up early we didn't leave the house until about 10) so we could get to the tag agency before they closed, only to find them closed because of the "blizzard" we got. So now I am going to go today to get our new tags and Justin will have to take off work a little early to get his drivers liscense renewed tomorrow. I guess that is what we get when we wait until the very last possible time to do this stuff! I will take the blame though, Justin has been mentioning it for a while now.

After the tag agency we headed to Mardel and bought Ian a bedtime story Bible. I can't wait to start reading it to him! Then we had lunch at Johnnies (mmm). We had more plans for the day, but since I didn't want to wash bottles the night before we needed to head home so I could wash bottles for Ian for the rest of the weekend. Then we headed back out in the snowy weather and went to Bass Pro Shop. Justin won a gift card as a door prize the other day.

After BPS we went to my parents where we spent the rest of the day. By the time we got home I was ready to crash. But of course we ended up staying up for a while.

Then on Sunday we went to Portland Avenue Baptist Church for their 75th anniversary celebration. It was neat to see the people that my grandparents new and to learn more about the history of the church. I even got to see some people that I actually new! So good times were had this weekend.

I took a break from my "job duties" this weekend. I figured everyone needs a break. But I am starting back today! Laundry, dishes and Ian. Oh my! It seems to be a never ending story, but one I want to always read!

It has been a while...

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever! I think in the blog world 8 days is forever. :)

Here are some pictures of Ian over the past few days. He is just continually getting bigger! He rolls around all of over the place. Exhibit A: Ian rolled off the blanket I had him on, spit up on the carpet rolled around in the spit up then rolled back on to his back! Here he is with spit up all over his face!

This Sunday my friend Lucy had a baby shower! Here is Holly, Jennifer (aka work Jennifer), Lucy, Ian and me. It was fun to see the girls again (well minus Angie, wish she was there).

Lucy's mom took this picture of Ian and me. I just loved the look that Ian has that I couldn't resist posting this picture!

Ok, so I am always wanting to try new recipes and I got this recipe off of the Bake at 350 blog. Mine did not so much turn out as good looking as her's did. It looks like I put ground beef on top! The good news is that they were still very yummy. Check out how they should look here. I will try to make them again and hopefully perfect them!

Calvin and Ian, believe it or not they are friends! It looks like they are fighting in this picture! Misti and I had so much taking pictures of these two. They are so funny together.
Paula (former roommate) came over for a visit and to set up her own blog! That was fun helping her get that started.

Ian is starting hold his bottle really well. He generally will hold it for about half the time it takes for him to finish eating!

Spring is in the air, well in Oklahoma it comes and goes! I think there is a chance of snow this week and right now we are under a tornado watch. Look at this picture that my husband took. It is of the blossoms on the tree in our front yard. It was a cool picture so I thought I would post it. Good job Justin!
