This and That...

We are so excited to move into our house this weekend! Painting is almost OVER! One more room (Carter's room) needs painted yet, then we're finished! Woohoo! *cute story about Carter's room - we took him to the house one day and asked him what color he wanted his room and Mason's room to be painted. He responded, "Masons should be blue and I want Pink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" To which I responded by trying and trying and trying to convince him that he DIDN'T really want pink, that it is a girl color...Didn't work...he still insisted on pink! What is a mom to do? (Finally I convinced him to be okay with blue and a little red....)

On the other hand, I took some time off from the house this past weekend b/c my poor boys were two sick pups! Mason acquired a terrible eye infection (not pink eye) and Carter came down with a horrendous cough/cold.

I probably shouldn't even post this picture...not for a weak stomach...poor little man!

I couldn't resist this picture...Nick and the boys were snuggling on the couch and Carter posed so adorably for me!

Here is Mason doing his usual....GETTING INTO EVERYTHING! I told someone today, "Yeah, I was just packing the kitchen, and Mason was unpacking!" This is when I have to stop and pray and ask the Lord to give me patience everyday!
Just came across this sweet picture... What a ham!
Mason, Carter, and Kinzie - She is the true ham! Her smile seriously makes me laugh almost everytime! I'm really not sure if it can get any bigger! What a joy!

Also, I wanted to make a shout-out to Jenna's new weight loss blog, Thirty More. Check out my blog roll to find it!

A big Happy Birthday to Uncle Brad (April 26th) and Grandpa Dave (Fiechter)
(April 27) Would you believe I actually forgot both of them until today! What a bad niece/daughter in law! Luckily, they were both merciful and forgave me! Love you both!

One more cute/sad story...Carter came up to me this morning and announced, "guess what mommy? When I turn to 4, you can't hold me anymore!" WHAT? My thinking was, Carter, are you trying to send me to a mental hospital? Are you trying to give me a heart attack/ache?
This is just one more reminder that time is fleeting...Treasure every moment with your children. Not even just with your children, but with your loved ones...
