It's a Saturday night at 10:17 pm. Early? Maybe when I was seventeen. Yes I AM only twenty-- but I am like a granny. :)
As I'm laying here in my bed, blogging on my iPhone, I must admit, I have THE MOST adorable, most precious, kind hearted, free-spirited, loving, hard-working man asleep next to me. You know, the one that takes my covers at night, gets angry when the light of my iPhone shines in his face, whose feet touch me and I kicked him constantly throughout the night--my husband. I wouldn't want to sleep next to anyone another than him, or see anyone elses big blue eyes when I wake up on the mornings.

I love you Michael Tomlin.
xoxo.

BOYS!

Today was MAN cut day for zekey! No no no, not what your thinking! A cut to get all that nappy hair off :) so here is his fabulous before and after.

What a doll :)

In order to make this happen Xoe had to come to work with me. She LOVED it. And the car rides ;)

Might I add it was beautiful today. Spring is just around the corner and I almost can't contain myself! :)

Here's the precious BOYS we got to keep in the nursery last night, boys are SO fun! Especially these two.

Levi

Nolan
who is turning 1 soon! :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Hope you all had a fabulous day --you're gorgeous!

xoxo!

"snowed in"

snow day! ... again.

1. zeke decides to forget that he is potty trained & pee numerous times in the kitchen floor because he is a girl when it comes to going out in the snow. [okay, on his behaf he DOES only way a big 4lbs, whatev.]

2. i find nothing entertains me. i have spent my entire day "becoming a fan" of numerous facebook pages.

3. when it snows xoe barks at the falling snow. it's like she thinks there is a million tiny people falling from the sky.

4. i find myself just staring out the window due to boredom. please tell me why i have been too lazy to go get our cable turned on?

5. a route 44 from sonic has taken me all day just to get half way finished.

6. this 1/2 inch of snow & icey roads may ACTUALLY cause us not to be able to go to my moms and watch the bachelor/keeping up with the kardashians tonight.

sad. day.

other than all of those things i enjoy the snow :) nothing is better than laying in my bed watching it snow. i'm not sure if what's happening now is snow or sleet, but i'm loving it :) God paints the prettiest pictures!

this afternoon i got a text from one of my sweet friends, erika! [who is in the process of becoming a blogger ;) ] it said:

"hello friend! i just wanted to tell you how much i love you and how much you inspire me to be a better person and firm believer in God!"

:')

made. my. day.

stay warm lovely.

xoxo!

our first valentine's day as the tomlin's

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY FROM THE TOMLINS!

so now, what you have all been waiting for, right? :) our valentine's weekend started friday afternoon when i got home from work i had all this waiting on me!
bunches of my favorite candies, a silly card & a sweet note

saturday morning michael went to work and i was still asleep when he left. so when i woke up, i woke up to a hilarious card [with a sweet note on the side you don't see]

saturday night when i got home, after i gave him his cupcakes he gave me the rest of my day 2 gift! which was this cutsy "lucky" bracelet. as i have said before i love lucky jewelry and free people clothes; and this bracelet is one i had wanted in the store a few weeks ago! good ear mikey!

this morning i woke up to this! which i loved.. more candy!

our valentines day consisted of all of this! :)

i hope you all enjoyed the weekend and most importantly had fun sharing valentine's day with your love! and dont forget, valentine's day isn't just for someone with a significant other, you can show your love for your family, friends, Jesus, or anyone! i hope yours was amazing :)

i LOVE you all

xoxo!

cuppy cakes

cuppy cakes!

michael has made valentine's day into a weekend for me :) so starting friday i have been getting little gifts, but i will have to share everything with you tomorrow :) so since i get the entire weekend, i decide to do michael's for him today while he was at work and give it to him tonight. since he will be home tomorrow :) thank you Jesus!

there isn't to much you can buy for a guy on valentine's day. so what better way than to feed him!? i think it was a much better touch :) i decided to go where no whitney has ever gone before and make cupcakes. i know, it doesn't seem like a hard task but i had never made cupcakes by myself and i was actually a little nervous! scary, huh?

i didn't want to do anything normal, because our marriage is anything but normal. and that's how i love it. as you have read in a post before, at our wedding we had a rainbow over us the entire time, which disappeared when the ceremony was over! and a rainbow is a symbol of promise.

so since our wedding means a lot to us, obviously--i decided to do his cupcakes tie-die! how much fun is that!?

a promise that i'll love him forever.

here goes nothin'

ingredients included:

-3 eggs
-1 cup of water
-conefetti cake mix
-1/3 cup of oil
-cupcake holders
-white cream cheese icing
-tube icing [if you want to decorate]
-sprinkles [if you want]
-food dye [colors depending on preference]
-1 big bowl, 4 small bowls

for starters i got a big bowl and mixed my cake mix, oil, water, and eggs for two minutes and then put them in to 4 seperate bowls because i used pink, purple, blue, and orange food dye. i then poured them into the cupcakes holders :)

after i did that, i put them in the oven at 350 degrees for about.. no longer than 20 minutes!



yuuuuum. don't they look good!? well we aren't done yet! you have to let them cool for a long time, since its cold outside, i let mine sit outside to cool of quicker! ;) next is the icing!



last but not least--decorate them! do whatever you want to do :) i put "love you" and "xoxo" on michael's since it's for valentines day, and of course because i love him!



you should make some, just remember to have fun!

a big thanks to my mom for showing me how to do everything i didn't know how to do and making sure i was able to get everything i needed!♥

xoxo!
