Deal

So my little Ryder is throwing up right now. It is the saddest thing to watch! I hope Gunner doesn't get it!! Anyway, I love it when I find great deals and its sooooo cute! I like to look at jcrew magazines, and others to find outfits that I can put together that I already have in my own closet. Anyways, I saw some shoes that I loved from jcrew that were like $200. I was like...WHAT? So I have been checking out other cheap stores and not finding a thing! And then...I took something back at TJ MAXX, one of my faves, and decided to look at the shoes there. There I saw them the ones that looked almost identical to the jcrew ones and better yet on clearance! So hear they are for a whoppin $15....Don't you love my model?? (I know there could be problems later on in life, but he's sooo cute!!)




Here is my other cute shoe model...and more appropriately...well kinda..

Feelin Good

Ok, I have both kids fed and almost dressed. I feel good! Yes, is it 7:30, and some moms might have that completed and their laundry done. I am not a morning person, but I have decided to wake up earlier and get my day started right. I have signed up for one of my church's workout classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursdays. They are nice because its only 3 days a week. I just think every day would be so hard especially when you have to get 2 boys up and dressed, and in all honesty I would probably skip a couple anyway. Well, I better get going if I am going to be 5 minutes late, will post some pics of the fair 2010 soon!

Nice to Meet You...

Oh man, I have done soooo many things today! Went and picked up a dollie to carry our appliances...Menards to pick out cabinets...Target....Home Depot...Met Ryder's first imaginary friend...TJ Maxx...oh, what? Wait...That's what I wanted to write about!! I was getting Gunner dressed and Ryder asked me if I wanted to meet his friend Robot. I thought I better since I am his mother and I have never met this new friend before, although I was a little worried about the introduction. So I didn't want to think about it too much, and I didn't want to be rude and keep Robot waiting. So I looked into blank space and said, "Hi Robot, I'm-". I immediately got cut off. Ryder said, "Nooo, not Robot, Rooooboooot (emphasis on Roooo, and whisper on bot). I immediately apologized and started all over to be only interrupted again to really get the enunciation right. Once I did, Ryder informed me that Robot had a pair two of clawses, and a pair of two hands, and a pair of two foots. I...

....

Ok, dreadfully sorry to keep you waiting, I had to leave because I heard Gunner choking in my bathroom...Don't worry he's fine. He just choked and puked up part of a tampon. (true story) To end my story...

I haven't heard of Robot since, but can't wait to meet and watch Ryder play with his new friend again! Hahaha!

Gunner's Room

I was about 6 months pregnant with Gunner and enjoying a long weekend in the big city, meaning NYC baby with my best Kristen, and I get a phone call from my wonderful husband saying he bought a house. I will cut to the end and say he knew what he was doing and God was good to us and we still love each other. So the house is totally 60's...it's got the works. We have been trying to update ever since. I will show more pictures later but I am pretty much done with the nursery just a few more touches. I am in no way a professional decorator, I have fun with it. I just thought I would show you a little before and after.

There is an empty spot above the crib. I do have some plans for that, like hanging some frames with a picture of each baby...1. A picture of Ryder on a big wheel and write on the picture "Low Ryder". 2. A picture with Gunner smelling roses and writing "Guns N Roses". 3. Well, someday hopefully there will be a 3rd. And I will find something cute for him/her.

Seriously?!

Seriously we are soo busy this weekend...UGH! MY house hasn't been normal for seriously like 3 weeks. We have had soo many birthday parties...sooo many events, going out of state this weekend, of course I wouldn't miss the parties for the world, but I am just ready to get the house normal, and back on a good schedule. Which isn't going to happen any time soon. Oh my gosh, Seriously, We got an incredible deal on some stainless steel appliances through craig's list. We get to pick them up this weekend!! Which means...we are now getting new cabinets soon and new countertops (will have before and after pics when it's done). So yes, I should be excited , but I will have no normal life or house seriously for awhile! But when it is finished it will look seriously awesome!

Seriously not too much new with the boysies. Ryder has been throwing some tantrums lately. His favorite thing to say is, "IT'S NOT FAIR!" and stomp his foot and run to his bedroom. Seriously?! Can it get more dramatic than that?! I don't know where he gets it.

Gunner has been communicating more with real words...

stuck- duck
thank you- dane tu
down- unda
Dad- DADAAAA!
Momma- Mommmma!
Please- still working on it!

When I hand him something to eat he thinks he has to give me everything that's in his hands first before he can take what I am giving him. Seriously, IT'S SSSSSSSSOOOOO annoying...but he is starting to learn it's ok to set lambie down on the ground. OH! I don't think I have introduced Lambie yet! Ryder has a toad that he has had since birth-Barb Rosberg gave it to him and he LOVES it! Gunner has a hand me down stuffed lamb that Ryder wasn't the interested in. Tara Badger gave that to us from Barney's in NYC, and let me tell you if we ever lose this thing we will be in big trouble for months, seriously!!! Ok, I'm done...seriously.

Summa

Whoa...Look at me...still blogging! I have a lot of things that went on this weekend. We had like 5 kids turn 3 this week...but most important Claire Bear turned 1! Whoa...time has flown by!

I am a total autumn girl! I love everything about fall! Leaves, Mums, FOOTBALL, Jeans and sweatshirt...maybe cause I can cover my body up better! But I have to admit summer has been actually great this year! I wanted to share a couple of my likes of the Summer:

Gerbera Daisys...one of my wedding flowers! Johnny boy gives them to me every year for our anniversary.



Bath and Body Works...I know candles are not good in the summer...but when you just changed the most disgusting diaper in the world...this smells great and helps the house clear up in no time! Island Margarita! You almost want to drink it.



Momma's fresh strawberry pie!



Gap V-neck shirts



A gift from my bestie



Racey Rouge (I hate my feet...well just feet in general...but I think this color makes any toe kinda pretty!)

3rd times a Charm

Ok starting again! 3rd times a charm, right?! I thought that I would start out explaining how to pronounce my Blog name. For those that are friends with John and me you already know. "Tootie" is pronounced like tootsie roll-just take out the "s". I grew up with my mom's nickname for me beingc Toots, and John caught on and with everyone of his friends he has a nickname for and it usually ends with "ie". Anyhow that is how I got that nickname. Sometimes we will be in a public place and he will call me that and other people think he is calling me "tittie"..hahaha! I feel funny, because they smile and look at me...and then sometimes I think they think, he couldn't of possibly called her that...look at her, she can't be bigger than a A. Ok well anyway, I have been encouraged to start my blog and keep it going! So I am going to start with some easy stuff...what Ryder and Gunner have been telling me lately.

Ryder has really been spelling letters out...he can even write a few. He is so cute, he thinks every store is a house. For instance, Bass Pro-Fish House, Tasty Taco-Taco house. sAt the start of the summer I was going to The Home Depot. So we pulled in the parking lot and Ry started to spell out the letters H O M E D E P O T...and then in a slow voice he said Flllloooowweerr Hooouuuseee. Today he told me, "I have a secret." And I asked what it was and he said "I love you so much, shhh don't tell anybody!"

Gunner is starting to talk as well. They are both into Toy Story right now...cute movies...well they both love Buzz. Buzz says, To Infinity and Beyooooond! Anytime Gunner sees a Woody or Buzz he says "EEEyoooonnn". He has been informing us about when he is poopie and he grabs his diaper in the back and gives a disgusted face and says "Poo".

They are so fun and funny! You will hear more from me soon...I will post pictures and try to blog about more things than just my children too!
