Random, Weekend FUN!

Happy to report, Justin is feeling MUCH better-Yay!

And we had the most perfect weather today for playing OUTSIDE! And this was Justin's first trip in Jacob's favorite toy, the Arctic Cat! As you can see, they had a blast and are both passed out in their beds :)

Excuse this bottom pic and Justin's super high pants! Ha, not sure why they're pulled up like that, but it looks HILARIOUS in this pic! I promise I don't dress him like this in public, only around the house...Ha!

some Birthday sneak peaks...and a sick boy!

So, with Justin sick, (click here for that post) I have been working on some FIRST birthday crafts for our littlest guy and his big birthday that'll be here very soon...almost too soon! If you can't read the bottom of the invite, it's the cutest part-it says,

"We're FLIPPIN out that Justin't turning ONE, so RIDE THE WAVE on over and let's have some fun"

I made a plaque to hang the invite-so easy and fun! Put the clip on there with my all-purpose adhesive, tied ribbons around the clip and VOILA! Found that cute scrapbook paper background for the plaque at a local scrapbook store and it matched the invitation perfectly! Yay!

Just wait until you see what I have in mind for all of these precious pics taken throughout his first year! Look how much my sweet boy has changed...ahh, give me a moment :( they grow so fast!

GET WELL SOON, JUSTIN!

ALMOST made it a full year without...

an EAR INFECTION!

But sadly, he had a dr. appt today and sure enough, double ear infection- YUCK:(

Poor boy, look at this pathetic little face of his, sad right?! He is really stuffy, pulling at both of his little ears, eyes are watering, just hasn't been himself, so Mommy feels terrible that I didn't take him to the doctor sooner, but ya know how it goes, most of the time you take them and it's NOTHING-waste of money and time, but this time wasn't the case...

GET WELL SOON, JUSTIN!

Now he is sleeping comfortably with some meds, so hopefully tomorrow he'll wake up a happy little guy like usual!

Here's to no more ear infections, EVER!

may be wishful thinking?! But let's for sure say none before your 1st birthday on May 11th!

Our Gran

Happy 80th Birthday, Gran! We love you bunches and hope to see you very soon!

Gran is my husband's grandmother(his dad's mother) and is such an incredible woman! She is very wise, has many great stories to share and has a beautiful heart :)

After losing my grandmother, Bonka just a short time ago( she is missed beyond words!), I have grown to cherish my relationships a lot more and one that I have always cherished so very much is our relationship with Gran-although she doesn't live close by right now, we are hoping she makes her way in this direction very soon!

LOVE YOU GRAN! HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY!

more berries and some new kicks!

yep, that's right...the McClellen's just can't get enough of the strawberry pickin' and fresh veggies and fruit! Do you see all these strawberries?? YUM! I had a tip from a blog friend to freeze some up and save them for later and that's just what we did! Now we'll have strawberries all year long-thanks for the tip!

Oh and we can't forget Jacob's new kicks (tennis shoes)! Is it just our little boy who's feet are growing WAY too quickly?! It's crazy, I swear this kid has grown about 3 sizes in less than a year! This is going to get expensive...but I just can't resist! Those that know me, know my obsession with Nike shoes -it might be on the verge of crazy??

But they are SO stinkin' cute on him, can you blame me?! and that's the best pic he'd let me take...oh Mr. Shy!

Injury #1..and counting

So, we were playing over at cousin Angie's house yesterday, having a great time UNTIL...

Jacob was riding on the PowerWheels STANDING UP, instead of sitting down(our little rebel!) and Mommy told him over and OVER again to sit down and somebody wouldn't listen-can't imagine who, and this is the result! A busted up face after hitting a tree and falling out of the truck! And our little tough guy says the worst part of all of this was dirt in his mouth! I think the entire neighborhood heard his screams over the dirt in his mouth rather than the scrapes and bruises! And what did Jacob do immediately after being cleaned up?

Ran right back to the PowerWheels truck, stood up and took off....I'd like to say he learned his lesson, but I guess not?!

boys and their toys!

Okay, so when Mommy was little and I had a new toy, I would make sure it stayed in it's new package as long as possible, made sure NOBODY would mess with it or mess it up and was SO proud of that toy...then I had boys!

My mom bought Jacob a toy while we were out shopping today! Thanks MeMe and we had it home for about 15minutes, Mommy went into the kitchen to fix dinner AND Jacob asked me to play with him on the floor, so of course I did and he asked me...

"Mommy, would you like to play with the hunter or his arms?"

it was then that I knew...this toy might have had the shortest life possible-poor guy!
