That's What a Hamburger is ALL ABOUT!!!

Taylor got his 1st taste of In N Out goodness yesterday.  He LOVED every bite, not only was this his 1st taste of In N Out it was his 1st hamburger and he ate almost 3/4 of it!  He said "mmmmm" after almost every bite.  Gus was so proud watching him munch away on his Daddy's favorite meal.  And this Mama and baby were VERY happy to have a tummy full of goodness as well :)

Pumpkins, Lightning, and Rockets!

3 of Tay's favorite words!  We had a wonderful night visiting Lightning and the pumpkins together.  I'm so glad the cold weather is here, for a few days at least!

Finishing Touches

Well we figured it's been a year we should probably MOVE IN!  This project mainly came with the arrival of this baby girl, the cleaning out of the office and the garage.  We unpacked several (I am afraid to admit how many) boxes from the move and found all my decor items I have been dying to get to!  Can you say NESTING?!?!  We got new pillows and designed the gallery wall with the help of my very best friend Erika (who Tay calls "Titi D" it's adorable) and gave our living room a face-lift.  The flower picture was in my office at work and it tied our color scheme together perfectly.  Jordan decided she wanted to be the center of the Lombardo Family wall and found a comfy napping spot while the boys were measuring.  We also got new curtains for our room, a new hall light and redid the bathroom curtain and mat to complete our projects.  Gus says our house did a 180 overnight!  We have 1 more picture being framed that will go on the left and then we are done for this year!  Next year we will paint the inside of the whole house and do recessed lighting, home ownership is so fun!  O and Tay is very into tools now, he loves helping Daddy and tries to measure the wall everyday, such a little man!


And the Garage is officially DONE!  We spent all day Sunday out there with Tay finishing up the last of the boxes and getting stuff to the good will pile.  Tay had a great time sweeping and finding all sorts of treasures among Daddy's things.  Here are the after shots.  It looks a million times better than it did!  Thank you so much to our awesome family who took their time to help us out!

My Little Van Gogh

Taylor tapped into his painting talents during crafts last week! These kids had the best time and made a HUGE mess but lots of giggles were had by all.  As you can see from the progression of pictures it started out very innocent and then went down hill from there!

Garage Revamp Project

We are SO blessed! My wonderful family came over this weekend to help us clean out and organize our garage.  Mom, Dad, Ray, & Grandad all came thru for us and worked in the heat to help us get settled.  We spent the day cleaning out everything, with a couple trips to Costco and Home Depot, organizing and building!  The shelves are beautiful and look so pretty all done with all the boxes lined up neatly.  I don't have an after pic because it was too dark and I was too tired, plus we still have more to do so I don't classify it as done yet.  We had lots of laughs and bonding time together and had to repeatedly tell people that "NO this is not a sale, it's all our stuff!"  The funniest part of the day is when I unpacked a box (that's right UNPACKED from the 1st move) that had my collection of cell phones!  I think I have at least 2 more that I can add to that pile LOL!  A super huge thank you goes out to my parents who worked their tails off and my brother who brought all his tools and designed and built the new shelving.  We could have never got it done without ALL of you!

Down and Out

Monday we had a great family date at Baskin Robbins and then....

Tuesday hit...and it hit HARD!  Below is a picture of where I have spent the past 3 days and my arsenal to help kick this bug.  It all started with the flu symptoms then to a bad cold and cough that brought on bruised ribs.  Being 29 weeks pregnant my best defense is that giant bag of Halls- lot of help those suckers are doing!  My wonderful hubby came home very early the past few days to help with Tay while I attempt to recover.  It's a slow process but I have felt improvement.  Being this sick (with NO meds) SUCKS!!!
