My Pinterest addiction.

I am obsessed. I love logging into Pinterest so I can pin away. My board filled with the most stuff... is junk food. Sadly. But with the holidays here and parties to attend left and right who isn't making treats every other day? I have used several Pinterest ideas in the last month and they are all awesome. Compliments are handed out way too graciously and I have to remind everyone that I'm really not that cool or crafty, I simply copied someone else's idea. So... here are the things I have done...

The first thing I did was a kit-kat cake for my step-dad. He loves kit-kats so when I saw this cake I knew I had to make it for him.
After my step-dad's Birthday my family voted me in as the Birthday cake maker. My mom's Birthday was coming up so I asked her what she wanted. She said, red velvet, elegant, and delicate. So I found a red velvet trifle cake. So good.


I then came upon the "Green Monster" smoothie, which I had heard about but never really looked into. I made the smoothie I found and I've made it almost every day since. Awesome.


We had some new neighbors move in right next door. So I made them the chocolate chip cookie/oreo/brownie treat. I'll admit... this one didn't turn out to be the best, only because I didn't do it properly. Still super yummy. I can only imagine what it's like when it's done correctly. Hopefully our neighbors liked it.


And lastly.. our apartment complex had a Halloween party for all the little kids. Everyone was asked to bring a treat so I did the spider-web cupcakes. So much fun.




Pinterest is the best. I love being able to take things to parties now. It's so much fun to look up anything for a party and be able to find something that will meet your needs. Love love love it. If you aren't on Pinterest already, you should jump on the bandwagon :)

Easton sleeps...

... so funny. When we check on the boys as they sleep we usually always get a good laugh thanks to Easton. He is such a silly sleeper :)

Sweet sixteen!!!

Sixteen months that is. And I think it's more bitter-sweet than just sweet. These two children of mine have got me on my toes constantly. The only free time I ever have is nap time, and even then it's hardly free because I do homework. I dont' know about anyone else... but I've found this age to be extremely challenging. I'm approached by moms of twins all the time and they ask me how old the boys are, etc... and then I swear every single one of them (mostly moms of twin boys) has said something along these lines as our conversation ends... "It only gets worse!" And they smile at me and tell me how cute my kids are, and wander off, as if their comment hasn't just made me seriously question our future and what's in store for us. At first I laughed it off, but now I'm wondering if they were all right. Trey and Easton are just as sweet as can be. They really are. But we've hit this stage where they cry over every little thing. They steal toys from each other. They bite each other. They even hit now. Even though it's crazy frustrating at times, and there are days when Dave and I tell each other this is it, no more kids (which we both know isn't true) we put them down for bed at the end of the day and all we can do is talk about how cute they are and how much we love them. It's the awesomeness of children I guess! So now let's get to the good stuff!

They both have a serious obsession with shoes. I don't know what it is... but they want their shoes on, always.

They loooooove being outside, even in the freezing cold rain.

They are finally off the bottle. Which is an interesting thing to me how so many moms want their kids off the bottle asap. What is the big deal?

They have started signing, and I have no idea how because I gave up on teaching baby sign a long time ago. But they both sign "more" and "milk" now. Baby sign is the cutest thing ever.

They say a few words here and there but as for talking... they are not doing much of it for now. Which is totally fine.

They love giving hugs and kisses.

They are difficult to feed sometimes.

They love jumping on the couch or in their cribs.

And even though we are going through a difficult stage... they are loved and loved by mom and dad.
