Smart Cookie

Lots of action at the Gibbs house. We have just been busy. Not with anything super crazy but just busy. Parker has been falling into a bad pattern of waking up several times a night. Being potty trained means lots of trips to the bathroom. I don't think he has to go but rather an excuse to get up.
Kids are smart. They can use this knowledge for good or evil (I consider evil waking up mommy 4 times a night). Even through the tough times it's times like this that make you forget all of the evil! :)


We are so proud of Parker! He is one smart cookie! :) Parker is 2 years & 4 months old in this video.

Doing a little paper work first thing in the morning...

Las Vegas Baby!

Well, right now I am sitting in a hotel room in Las Vegas. I am here for a work conference and this my 3 day here. I am traveling with 11 people from work so lots of fun. The conference is going well and I am sitting in bed preparing for a day filled with more sessions.

I am missing my boys at home. Ray and I have been texting and they are doing well. It snowed 4-5 inches last night in Columbus so they are dealing with that mess. Here is what I am dealing with...



We are roughing it! :)



This is my face after a day of sessions



We tried to reenact the HangOver Movie at Caesars Palace but we are too old to do those things :)




This was the view as I laid by the pool, not too bad :)

Great conference so far. Just can't wait to get back to my boys & my bed!!

Buzz Lightyears

Parker is currently watching Toy Story, any of the three, at least once a day. He also likes to jump so in this video he is combining both. Love this crazy and fun little boy!

He better be glad he is cute!

Oh, the joys/challenges of having a two year old boy. I always tell him, you better be glad you are cute. Wow, he really knows how to push my buttons. We actually push each others buttons. With Ray working different hours before it was mostly Parker and I together so that meant getting on each others nerves. It's funny that even at 2 he knows how to challenge everything!! Here are the great things he says now... and where he gets it from...

- I gunna bust PaPa's butt! (Yeah that is what I say to him)
- You wanna piece of me?? (No clue where he heard this one)
- I sorry mommy, I didn't mean to (insert what he did), it accident!
- Stop talking to me mommy/daddy (not sure we don't say that to him)
- You make me sad mommy/daddy (when we won't give in)
- This last time mommy? (jumping off something or drink of water before bed)
- I huh not know. (not sure why he adds the extra word in but he does, it's funny how they hear things that aren't there)




Doesn't he just look rotten!?!?

Potty training is well... done. He is all good and has been accident free for some time. He is even dry at night! We could not be more thrilled and super excited. I just realized that we won't need swim diapers this summer so that is even a bigger bonus.

The month of February has gone by so quickly. I said I was going to blog more and well I haven't. I find myself just wanting to go to bed and sleep. Parker usually is down and out by 8pm. By the time I brush my teeth, wash my face and get little things done around the house my bed is call my name. My eyes are heavy and I am ready to say goodnight. On that note... goodnight! :)

Pinterest obsession

What did we do before Pinterest? How did we eat? How did we know how to clean? How did we know what crafts to make??
These are the pressing questions of the day! :) Really, I love Pinterest!! Others complain about not doing anything with the ideas they pin but I have been on a roll! Here are a few projects we have completed...
Lego table! The mat is being held down by 3M innovation sticky tabs. Should come off with no problem.

My first turkey.... found recipe on Pinterest

Picture frame from Michael's. Spray painted. Hooks to hold decorative items (can't see these, hubby put them on the inside lip of the frame). Last but not least 3M innovation velcro strips to hold this on the door. Will post a new picture soon of the decorations in the frame.


Cute ideas on cheap decorations. Printed Valentine's day sheet & framed with existing frame. Made the banner with paper plates we had at home.

Love this sight and hope to do more projects! The food recipes have been a wonderful help as we try to eat out less. More to come about our Pinterest food ideas!
