Poor Yah Yah

Let me introduce you to Yah Yah. That is the name Bugs has given her "lovey." Bugs is almost inseparable with Yah Yah when we're home. She is the dearest thing to her.

Well, Bugs had a traumatic experience on Monday and I wanted to share. DH was changing Bubba, so Bugs and I went up to hang out in his room. I was laying on my back on the floor and Bugs was doing a "back-bend" over my belly. Well, DH had just finished with Bubba, DH picked him up and turned around to face us with Bubba facing outward. The next thing I see is a stream of spit-up coming towards us girls on the floor. I don't feel a thing, but then I hear Bugs crying. Bubba gooped her. At this point DH and I cannot hold in our laughter. Poor thing. There's some on her arm, splatters on her face, but the worst happened to Yah Yah. Yah Yah is Bugs' "lovey." It was also laying on the floor at the time and it got the brunt of it all. And that is why Bugs was crying - because Bubba spit-up on her precious Yah Yah. Needless to say we had to do an emergency wash so Yah Yah would be ready to go to bed with Bugs.

DH and I found this experience hilarious, but we felt horrible because Bugs' was traumatized! I wish I would have taken a picture of poor Yah Yah, but it was furthest from my mind as I was trying to calm the little one. I've been waiting to post this because I wanted a picture of Yah Yah, but never found time. So, here's an old picture of Bugs with her Yah Yah. It's a little dolphin with a small blanket attached.

Suggestions, Please

Okay - so one of my spring projects is to get my front porch looking decent. I need to re-paint the trim for sure and possibly the door. I'd like some color in there some where, but I'm coming up blank on what to do. Here are a couple of pictures of my front door. What colors do you think would look good with my brick and siding colors? Suggestions, please!

Pay no attention to the dented rain gutter. My poor FIL fell off the roof while helping DH put up the Christmas lights this past year. Don't worry - he was okay.

Also, please notice the little head poking out of the front door! :) I'd like to have the garage door and trim correspond with the front door too. What do you think?

Daddy

Daddy has the magic touch. He was playing guitar for Bubba and he fell fast asleep. Too bad we had to wake him up for a bath and his PJs! So precious.

April Fools

We had a great dinner last night and it totally surprised my DH and SIL. We had dessert for dinner and dinner for dessert, right? Well, almost.

Dinner - Cupcakes and Cake

Dessert - Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

Can you guess what they really were? The cupcakes were really meatloaf with mashed potatoes on top; the cake was cornbread with honey butter drizzled on top; and the mashed potatoes and gravy was ice cream with caramel topping.

The look on my husbands face as he tried the "frosting" first was great. His mind was thinking sweet and when he tasted salty it was gross. Once he realized it was potatoes, however, he enjoyed the meal. Bugs, just began eating. Even though I'm sure it didn't taste like what she was expecting.

Tummy Time

Look at this little guy! He's getting strong and stronger. Way to go, Bubba.

Easter Fun

We had a great Easter...

Three Egg Hunts!

When this little girl found an egg she had to open each egg and take a bite of whatever was inside before she could go on to the next one.

The sun is deceiving. The wind was COLD!

Tiger and my SIL. (Yes, he has a purple bib on, but hey - his big sister isn't using them anymore and what does it matter when you're usualling home all day, right?)


Dying Eggs with Grandma!

New Church Clothes!
(and bunnies)
Bugs

Bubba (Yes - this is the nick name that has stuck. Tiger just didn't seem right.)
