everyday moments.

our life...i love it.

cruz's new love...stickers.

he is getting better at brushing his teeth. boy was it a challenge to get him to brush at first.

this pic cracks me up. look at that belly!

he loves to read books. i love that he loves to read books.

intently working on some valentines.

his attention span probably lasted a minute or so on this project.

what a little cheeseball.

tyler's grandparents came to town a little over a week ago for a quick trip. we enjoyed spending time together one evening. they hadn't been to our house since cruz was born! cruz loved grandma letha. we enjoyed a nice meal out to red lobster that evening. it was so good!

making valentine cookies!

ps - i learned something about myself that night. i have a hard time just letting go and getting messy in a kitchen with a toddler. i had to keep reminding myself that it was ok that we were both covered in flour, that the floor was covered in flour, that the cookies weren't getting decorated...just squashed and broken....and that the sprinkles were getting everywhere. we had fun, but it's not an everyday thing for me. :) i do wish i could just let go...another thing to work on!

being a goof.

don't let this picture fool you...this didn't last very long. :)

so...do you know what is happening in this picture? we were at the mall and he was getting bored. so cruz figured he needed to entertain himself. how, you ask? by filling his boot up with popcorn. then taking it out and eating it. oh yeah. we got a kick out if it.

at the westroads mall play area. one of our favorite spots in the winter.

hanging out with his buddy nathan at the mall. my friend brooke and i enjoyed a nice friday morning with our boys at the mall. it was good to catch up. isn't her little boy adorable?
