Happy 2nd birthday, Jeremiah!

J started the day out watching Daddy mow the lawn. He loved it. He's at the stage where he repeates everything. And I mean everything. All I heard all morning: "mower? Mower? Mower?"

Fun sunglasses. He's a superstar!

He wanted to take a pic with Sarah.

Grandpa and Grandma G came over early to help entertain J while I finished up party decorating.

Thanks Kim for this fun fishing game! J loves it.

Baby Archer had a blast!

J loved the chips...

Lily and Holden coloring.

Goody bags, cups, etc.

Lily was so sweet to baby Sarah.

FINALLY! The pizza arrived. (only 30 minutes later than it was supposed to..) J loved it, of course. Like his bib? Ha ha.

Everyone eating.

The cake (that I made and decorated myself :)

Cake time!!

Started out pretty clean....

By his second cupcake he was a mess!

Family pic that he wanted no part of!

Sweet! His own camera.

Sarah says: "Please someone, put us to bed!"
Overall, a great party. J loves having everyone over at the house and of course loved all the sugar. I can't believe my little munchkin is 2 already. It seems like we just had his first birthday party. Hopefully Sarah doesn't grow up as fast as he is.

This is the face that will get her whatever she wants.

She has a pout like nobody's business! J & I were watching Nemo and making the whale noises and for some reason it made her really sad. Her entire top lip disappears!


Also, today is our 4th wedding anniversary! Happy anniversary - dare I say it - we're just as cute as when we got married. (probably a little more tired and a little smarter, too)


Have to include a pic of my little guy. Couldn't find one with just him, so here's one of him and my little girl.

I had to bribe him with candy.

She looks almost as big as him - I swear I didn't angle this shot funny. He's just on the small side and she's on the giant side.


J was so cute - laying on Shawn's leg while he played with his computer before bed. I can't believe he'll be 2 soon!


Girlfriend has dimples for days...


And I'm not really a bow person - but this was cute.



She's becoming such a little baby! That's what I keep saying - she's really changing from newborn to baby and I feel like I am more aware of it than I was with Jeremiah. She's 11 weeks old and the size of a 5 month old. (Or at least I think so) She's darling and cute and starting to be happier - either her reflux meds are working, or my diet changes are helping (no more bloody poo yay!), or the magic "3 month" thing is happening. Or all three. Or none. Who knows?


J wanted to ride in the moby - it actually wasn't too bad...but getting his long legs in and out of there... He's silly.

My two munchkins.



J is a good big bro.


Sarah woke up from her morning nap today and was still a little out of it so I put her in the bouncy seat for a little bit. She was doing this weird scream/cry/whine thing. I thought it was funny.

The latest...

So Sarah's been doing pretty good with my changes in diet. Last Thursday/Friday/Saturday and Sunday she did have blood in her diaper again, but I think I may have eaten something I shouldn't have (had a salad from a restaurant even after checking w/ the manager about allergens...ah well). So far today, though, no blood.

Sarah definitely got the "Chapman genes" - she is very chatty and loves 'talking' when you look at her and talk to her. She will even go from screaming to talking if you can get her to make eye contact.


In other news, we bought clippers the other day to try to save money on haircuts for the guys. We cut J's hair the other night.

Here we go...


"This tickles!"


The finished product - a sweet summer 'do.
