1/22/10-1/24/10

OK, so technically I am missing the 21st, but the picture was too dark to resemble anything, but the thought was there!

Conversing in their crib in the AM

Ah, the joys of teaching Jake how to use the sippy cup

He still likes this toy..except, he doesn't realize he's a tad too big for it now

Such a boy playing with his cars :)

Day 1/19/10

A few things we did today.

Day(s) 1/15/10-1/18/10

This is what happens when you work all weekend. Throwback days!

A tribute to my bestie and "aunt" to my children! We've been friends since the 2nd day of 7th grade and have lived through a lot! She is one of my constants and a rock in my crazy world! I ♥ her like a sister!

Day 7: 1/14/10

My littlest man is 8 months old today!

Don't you just love when they can hold their own bottles?

Trying out some finger foods.



I think he liked them ♥

Day 6: 1/13/2009

Even though he has tested the limits of my patience the past 2 days, I love him to bits! His favorite bedtime routine? A little "chill time" before bed, then tucked in with his lion, his SpongeBob and book, his bear and his monkey. A little bedtime prayer, kisses and night night!

Day 5: 1/12/10

It's so chilly in our basement/playroom that I've resorted to hats for Jake to wear!

He loves to ride his 4 wheeler!

{Throwback} Day 4: 1/11/10

I was so.o.o.o tired from working last night and I was seriously working on the very most bottom of the barrel energy reserves I had left to focus only on making sure my children weren't about to get into anything that would make a large mess, I couldn't take a picture. But who said that in these 365 days I couldn't relive the last 365? So, here it is, my throwback day. I am sure there are to be others, LOL.

Officially Mr. and Mrs. Metz

Officially a family

Officially meeting his brother for the first time.

Officially a family of 4.

Day 3: 1/10/09

Routinely when I am getting ready for work the boys hang out with me. Daniel is usually in the bathroom with me ("helping" or washing his hands or feeling the cool air from the blow drier) but when Daddy is home, all the men congregate on the bed.

Day 2-1/9/10

Some quality Mommy and Jake time.

Daniel trying his skill in a gymnastics class. What a fun 60 minute for him and me!

365

OK, so the wonderful ladies on my mommy blog have challenged themselves to a 365 day blog posting of their beautiful babies. I have decided to take that challenge. I'm starting today because I don't think I've taken any pictures of the boys since Christmas...but 365 days is still 365 days, right? :)

Day 1: 1/8/10

My men enjoying some mommy and daddy time before I hit the hay after working. I ♥ them!

This year I am telling myself not to worry about money! I will not spend frivolously, don't get me wrong, but I will not keep myself awake at night worrying! I am going to concentrate on my family, my home and my budget and tackle these bills with a can do attitude!
