New to This...

So this is officially my first blog entry. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but just never removed it from my "To-Do" list. Every day the boys will do something witty, smart or funny and I think, I've got to write this down! Then, a moment later, I come to my senses, knowing that I won't get it in their journal before I forget exactly what they did, or how they did it, so then I just blink- to take a mental picture if you will- so that I can try to remember that moment forever. But I've been taking so many of these mental pictures, I'm afraid my hard drive will fill up before I get the chance to back it all up.

Okay. So what's going on around here at the moment....well. I think the better question is what isn't going on. We are finally having the pool cage re-screened. It's taken a beating over the past couple of years and it was well overdue to have it done. I'm also in the process of updating the boys'/guest bathroom. For those of you that haven't seen it, here are some before/in progress pics...

Cute Kid/Awful Yellow Tub:

Awful Yellow Floor:

Awful Mirror:

Now, you see the new paint color already (was a dark/royal blue- looked great on the color card- not so much on the walls). So far, I've refinished the tub and the floor tile (WAY easier than I ever thought- don't be afraid to try it!)...

I love it so far. I still have work to do on the tile surround of the tub and the mirror. Will keep you posted on the final pics!

So besides home renovations, the boys are getting bigger every day. Well, Drake not so much. He's getting smarter. Trey's getting bigger =) Drake is officially potty trained. Very cool. We don't miss changing his diaper AT all. Trey is all over the place. He crawls and climbs and falls and laughs and it's incredible. He ADORES his brother. Follows him everywhere. I think Drake thought it was cool at first, but now he runs away from Trey. And closes him into rooms. I've found Trey crying more than once in a closed room. I feel so bad for him. No teeth yet, but he's eating like a champ. Drake's vocabulary grows every day. He amazes me at how smart he is all of the time. I think he knows how to work Matt and I's iPhones better than we do sometimes. In fact, he figured out how to purchase $10 of his favorite apps on my phone last week. He officially received his first grounding from the phone! Ahhh...teenagers. Wait- he's not even 3 yet!! AHHH!

Alright, off to bed. It's been a long day of kids, paint and spring cleaning. Whoever said being a stay-at-home mom was easy, obviously wasn't a mom =)
