what was my life like before tagg?

who knows. feels like there never was such a thing! this little nugget has brought me such happiness, excitement, and love in the past three years. here's a quick peek at some of his highlights so far.....

first photoshoot. kept sliding off my shoulder. he was already bucking the system.

sitting on craig's shoulders at u-village. he could tell he was in for a life of following his mom around at malls.....

helping his dad celebrate father's day.

aaahhhh. the skeleton costume. the beginning of a tradition.

his first birthday. but unlike most kids.... NOT his first bite of sugar. not even close. :)

the san diego zoo. i love his sweaty little head.

cle elum.

mariners game last summer. pure heaven.

first time seeing a movie in a theater.

sandpoint with ga, taywer, and momo.

meeting sully for the first time.

my always happy, incredibly bright, potty-trained, amazingly kind older brother, three year old sunshine. i love him more than words. HAPPY THIRD BIRTHDAY, POODLE!

this is ladies nite

last nite, we celebrated holly's birthday at lucky strike. it was a blast. the two highlights of the nite? 1. me getting paid $20 to grind with one of my mom's friends. and 2. megan TRYING to grind and falling on her face. oh, and trying to fit ten ladies in one photo booth was quite entertaining too......

as megan said, " you know me, hate to be rude. but dont all of our feet look the same?"

happy birthday, holly!

he sure is happy with himself

in fact, as i type this, sully is cooing AT these pictures of himself. wow.

but i cant really blame him. he has good taste.

what did 5 ever do to him?

tagg's just too darn cute slash proud of himself to remind him that he omitted a number. now on to the abc's......

dear doctor ferber, i love you.
ok so tagg has been an awesome sleeper from day one. so i just assumed all babies were good sleepers. but then sully came along. he is a very good baby except when it comes to sleeping. a couple of nites ago i decided i was done. done with getting up several times each nite. i remembered that shanna swore by this book so i went and picked up a copy. three nites later..... sully slept about seven hours straight (compared to the two and a half or three hour stretches i used to have to deal with) seriously. this book is a winner. nothing too crazy. just logical steps to help babies sleep better.

xoxo

a well rested mama.

life with two boys.

its crazy. its tiring. its hard. its the most rewarding thing i have ever done. i love it.

some short clips of my boys.....

sully continued to talk long after i turned the camera off. guess he realizes that he is going to have to do A LOT of gibbering to keep up with his older brother.

he is also reaaaalllly obsessed with blowing bubbles. he was doing it so loudly during relief society yesterday that i had to leave.

we stopped by the fun center for a minute so i could see tagg take a ride on the frog hopper. i swear, i could watch this clip 500 times and still laugh myself sick. the combination of tagg's happy little face + his head looking like a rag doll on the jolts down + taylor's laugh is just plain priceless.
