Love this Weather!

The weather has been soo nice lately and we have been taking every advantage of it! We have been playing hard on our playhouse and we were even able to fill up the plastic pool and put our swimsuits on. Ezra had a blast. Ezra wanted Emersyn to splash in the water with him, however, she thought it was a little too cool and decided to layout adn get some sun instead. It makes me excited for the warmer weather and Sea World this year.

(notice Emersyn's cute swimsuit. We took her to the ER (Sunday) in that same zebra/pink tutu swimsuit later that evening when she pulled her elbow out of socket while getting her fingers stuck in the VCR! The nurses thought she was so cute.)

Let's Rodeo San Antonio

We had a great Valentine's weekend! On Friday Brent and I got a special treat provided by the great ladies of our Mentoring Mom's group. They provided childcare from 530 to 9, FREE of charge, and let the parents do whatever we wanted. So, we took advantage of the time and went to dinner with our great friends who are also apart of our lifegroup! It was such a good evening. Then Saturday started off pretty busy. Brent went to help out some of our friends who are doing mission work in San Antonio and I went to a baby shower luncheon. We met up that afternoon and headed to Fredericksburg for Grandma Lindig's 85th birthday party celebration! We had a great time celebrating her and seeing some family we hadn't seen in a while!

Mutton Buttin may be in our future!

I'm a cowboy!

with a sword!!

On Valentine's day we got up and made heart-shaped pancakes before went to church. After church we met our friends the Garrison's at the San Antonio Rodeo! It was such a pretty day. The sun was shining and it was 70 degrees! Perfect day to be outside. We had a lot of fun eating corndogs, drinking fresh lemonade, going crazy with the animals at the petting zoo, walking around and looking at the show animals and eating some more! Ezra and Emersyn really enjoyed it. By the time we drove out of the parking lot, both kids were out!

Bathroom COMPLETE!

Wahoo! I can officially say, the bathroom project is DONE! The shower is tiled, the door is installed, the shower head on, the rest of the bathroom painted and shampoo in place! It looks AHHMAZING! Brent did such a great job. After it was all complete, I just got in the shower fully clothed and stared! It looks good. AND, he did it in about a month, working on it here and there. I feel like we should have a big reveal party, that's how much it was a part of our lives! 

"MOVE THAT SHOWER CURTAIN"... Here are some pictures.

Tiled Shower!

An update on the bathroom project! The shower is full of nicely laid tile! Brent put up all the tile, now it is drying and ready for grout! He is going to try and put on the grout this weekend and do the finishing touches!! It looks really good! He did a great job. The only bad part is, even if he finishes the grout this weekend, it takes up to 10 DAYS before you can use it! But, I see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Here are some pics of the tile.

Ahh.. i have a 2 1/2 and 8 month old

kisses even with tears

Sometimes I look at my life and think.. "really? I have a 2 1/2 and 8 month old?" It just goes by so fast. It seems like just the other day, Ezra was the same age as Emersyn and I was capturing all of his "firsts". Now, it seems like I struggle just to take a picture of each new month Emersyn enters in, let alone put it in her baby book! I am really trying to be better at this. So, here is an update of my two babies!

Sweet boy!

Ezra is 2 and 1/2! He is so smart. He is such a sponge with things he is learing and hearing. He talks so much and says the funniest things. Lately his new phrase is "Sure do!" HA! It cracks me up. The other day he was asking about a new necklace I got for christmas that has the letter E on it. I told him it was to keep him, Emersyn and dad (eilers) close to my heart where ever I go. And he responded with "like Jesus in your heart?" I said "Yes, just like Jesus in your heart. Do you have Jesus in your heart Ezra?" and he looks at me and says "Sure do!" and went about playing. SO SWEET! He is learing more and more each day about Jesus and the Bible and loves to sing "Pat, Pat, Pat your Bible..", a song he learned at bibleclass. He is just growing up soo fast.
OH~ and he is POTTY TRAINED! He started throwing fits when we would put diapers on him, so I decided it was time to potty train. We started at the beginning of Novemember (he was less than 2 and 1/2!) and it took about a week and a half to where he was 100% potty trained with no accidents, even when we went on errands. He even wakes up every morning dry and saying "mommy, need to go potty". I am so proud of him.
He is concerned more and more about his little sister "emmy", but not liking the fact that she now likes to play with his toys. So, we are learning a whole new concept of how to share "his" toys with his sister. Other than sharing, he is so sweet to her.

oh so cute in my hat!

I'm ready mom! Watch out Ezra!!

Emersyn is just about 8 and 1/2 months and will be crawling any day now. She can get up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth. She is able to go from hands and knees to sitting. However, she has tried to do one knee and hand and then fell on her face. I am so sure she will be crawling soon.
She is the happiest baby! Always talking and smiling. She loves her brother and wants to be wherever he is. She even stops nursing if he is around and playing. When he sings songs, she is right there with him clapping and patting! She says "mamma" and "pat pat", but not "dada" quite yet. She is starting to wave "hi and bye" and loves to throw her hands in the air. She is eating more and more table food everyday. Just getting so big, so fast.

It makes me want to have another already. For now, I am excited to just enjoy them and watch them develope into Godly boys and girls!

Bathroom Project Continued!

First laid tile

So.. we have been on a stand still with our retiling of the bathroom, waiting for the new shower pan to arrive. It finally came in this past weekend and Brent went to work putting it in. After the shower pan was put in, we (haha..like I help ;) had to put the cement water backing boards back up and seal it. I can offically post that we have begun the tiling stage of the project and am now seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel wasn't really that long, it has only been a couple weeks, and most was waiting for the shower pan to come in. However, my room is soo DUSTY! We also have been having to use the guest shower, which I am very thankful we have one! But God has truly blessed Brent with such great skills. He is soo handy and can do just about anything he puts his mind to. He amazes me all the time. Here are some new pictures. Hopefully I will have a finished bathroom picture to post before too long!

make sure it's straight and even ;)

Hats

So, I ordered Ezra and Emersyn some homeade knit hats off of Etsy. Ezra's came in the other day and he likes to wear it! Which is good because in this cold weather I am always trying to cover up their ears. Emersyn doesn't have any hats so I am excited for Emersyn's to come in too. Here are some pics of Ezra wearing his hat.

And an update on the remodeling of the bathroom will be coming soon. We were on a stand still for about a week waiting for our new shower pan to come in. Well, it finally came in this weekend and Brent just put it in and is putting up the cement boards. I will take a picture tonight and post the "progress" later!
