immunization day : (

After 2 hours, 7 vaccines, 4 legs and 6 shots later we are home. Things went surprisingly well. Both boys are growing and doing great. Ryan is 11 pounds 11 ounces and 22.75 inches long. Zachary is 10 pounds 11 ounces and 22.25 inches long. They are a pound apart. And Zachary has a bigger noggin. She also said that the way Zach holds his arms is good, he is learning to self soothe. The doctor is putting Ryan on a prescription formula to help him with tummy troubles. Also I have to shout out to Ms. Tina who went with me to help out because Daddy could not make it. She willingly took each baby in for their shots, while I sat out in the adjoining waiting room with the other baby. She was the bad guy, and I love her for that. Thanks, Hun!


But I have even BIGGER news to share today. Are you excited? Zachary has hit a milestone! He ROLLED OVER last night for his dad. Which was the 25th.

UPDATE: Since we have been home this afternoon, the boys have been irritable and feverish. I am giving them Tylenol and keeping a cool wash rag on their legs. It is going to be a rough night.

valentine mini

I did this Valentine mini book for the hubby and me. It's a Maya Road chipboard album that Jason and I painted red. Then I added some love song lyrics, black and white wallet size photos, and some stamps. Photos are from Valentines day too.

that was a close one.

Jason: "What does cheap mean?''

Me: "It means the opposite of expensive. It means that it doesn't cost that much money. Your Wii games are expensive, but your Thomas game was cheap."

Jason: "Hey- Santa brought me my Thomas game! Santa doesn't buy things, his elves make things. But not batteries, right?"

Me: "Oh yeah, you are right. Santa brought you that. Ummmmm so what do you want for breakfast?"

Jason: "Monkey bread and orange juice."

instant death.

Okay so I am totally bummed out. I just heard the news today. Polaroid will no longer make instant film. It will no longer be avaliable after 2009. Seriously I should have known this was coming, but I didn't. They just put out a new 600 camera so I thought we were good to go. You all remember my great Polaroid find. What now? Tomorrow I am running to the store and getting $100 worth of film which is only 8 packs at $22.95 which is only 80 photos. Much Love -Mandy

my babies.

These shots are from yesterday the 20th and you can see more here. Zachary is 1st photo. Ryan's are the next two.

book of lists.

A new mini that I put together over the weekend. I am a list maker. I have been so wanting to do this since I saw Elise Blaha's book. The cover is a recycled Starbucks bag. So is the butterfly. I will post it all over at flickr too. The lists are random and in no order. Very simple, paper and print.
