Objects of my Obsession

I've decided to make this a weekly post. With all that is going on right now creating these posts are forcing me to treasure the small moments of the week. There is some happiness in every day. So let's get on to this week's happiness-filled obsessions...

1. A baby face covered in baby food. I'm not sure if there is anything cuter than this right now. Feeding this little girl has quickly become one of my favorite parts of my day. It's funny how things change, with Rory it was my least favorite things to do. He was a picky eater from the get go.




Sometimes we eat super hero-style around here!







2. Pumpkin-themed food in honor of Halloween

Rory's peanut butter sandwich smoothed piece of bread cut into a pumpkin with a cookie cutter. I even gave it to him like this. It looked so festive and cute.



Rory's attempt to turn his apple into a jack-o-lanter.



And my attempt to turn Rory's cheese pizza into a jack-o-lanter. It looked way better in person, promise. I cut the dough into a pumpkin with the stem on top and created the face using hand-shredded cheddar cheese over the white pizza-blend cheese I usually use. When your kid only eats cheese pizza, you have to be creative, right?!? It's not like I have any toppings to work with.



3. Rory & Rian. I have said this over and over and I'll say it again... these two kids love each other so much. I managed to get these pics of the two of them playing together for a few minutes the other day.

Love the Pinky photo bomb!!!



Rory is mooing (yes, mooing) after he hit the cow button on her pod.


Rian just loves when he plays with her




He's telling her all about the animals on the train.



And when Rory was done, he patted her on the head and went back to doing his own thing.



4. Another milestone. Rian has been trying to master grabbing onto things, and this past weekend she finally did it. I love the look on her face like, Oh my gosh I actually picked you up Mr. Spoon.




Ok I'm not really sure why this pic keeps uploading sideways. I've said that I'm not thrilled with the way BlogPress uploads photos, right??? Anyway back to this cutie. She got the red and blue ball toy that has the different shapes you put through the cutouts from one of my aunts and uncles over the weekend (Thanks again Aunt Krissi and Uncle Waldo). And Rory shows her how to put the shapes in the ball, but all she is interested in at the moment is taking the shapes from Rory's hand...and then just staring at them.


5. This kid right here. Rory is such a ham sometimes.


Randy received a package in the mail that came in a very large box and Rory thinks it's so funny to get inside it and hide. And when we get near it or he hears us calling for him he starts to giggle. Someone should tell him that we can still see his little hands. It's very Chandler doing some thinking in a box on Thanksgiving.



6. Some Target shoes. If you've seen me in the last month or so I was probably wearing the western boots on the left. I'm usually not one for western boots, but I like the 70's-ish styling of these. I think my mom had a pair very similar to these when I little. And they are very comfy.

I got the black heels some time last week for a wedding we went to this past weekend. They are so comfortable. The heel is the perfect height. And I was wearing a pair of skinny jeans (shocking, I know, me in skinny jeans, nooo) and a fitted jacket when I tried them on and they looked so cute. I think I need to have a girl's night out so that these heels get much needed use.

You can find the western boots here and the black heels here.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I'll see you back here later in the week. We've got Randy's birthday and our anniversary this week so I'll be back probably late in the week.

Oh yeah I'm in the process of changing the design of my blog, so don't be surprised if when you check back in on us we look a little different. :0)

Bye for now.

  1. Amie, I love reading your blog! You are so enjoying being a Mom. I often wish I had taken the time to enjoy my children the way you do. I was always so busy with housekeeping, laundry, cooking, baking and money. I try to be a good Grandma and hope that my children can forgive me for my past mistakes. You and Randy have two very beautiful children. Love you girl! Charlene

    1. Hey Charlene! Oh how I miss you (and Mike too!) I'm glad you/re enjoying the blog. And I do really enjoy being a mom. I feel incredibly lucky to able to stay home with them. The simple fact that you worry about your past parenting mistakes proves you were a great mom. And I know you were. I too worry every day if I could have done something better. And the truth is yes, I probably could have. But I truly believe that we do the best we can. And don't worry every day is a juggling act. As you can see it is now past midnight. This does not happen during the day. Much of my blogging is done at night long after the kids have gone to bed. And some posts even take days to complete. Love you lots! aMie
