35 Weeks Old

Well this isn't crawling, however he is still moving, this is exciting and NOT exciting at the same time, I am sure you can guess why.

Story Time At The Library

One of the items on the calender for YCFM was to go to the library for story time. It was so cool, this wonderful lady named Wendy was the story teller, she does a great job with the kids. Ashton was the only kid standing up, he wasn't interested in the stories till the end, he just wanted to get all up in everyone's grill to check them out. But after a few times I am sure he will get better. So after story time Ashton did the craft, which was cute, he said "all done Mommy" and handed it to me when he was satisfied with his work. Then I got myself a Sutter County Library card (I haven't had a library card in years), checked out two books, Naked Baby and Sheep Sleeps. While I was doing this Ashton was acting like he was on the computer like all the other kids. We had a good time, and I hope to go back every Wednesday, and the best part it is a free service for Sutter residents, woo hoo!!

Ashton thinking he is a big boy at he computer center.

Jackson just enjoying being in a different place rather then home. Ashtons little craft he maid at the library.

M.I.M Valentine's Party

The boys and I attented the Valentines party and had a great time. This was the little craft that was offered to make, I gave it to Daniel to hang on the filing cabinet at the office. I would say I connected with some of the Mom's and could see myself being part of this group. Erin let me back in the group. I like this group because they offer alot of playdates on different days and different times so we might have a chance of making them.

Crack For Kids

This candy right here is the most horrible candy EVER!!!!

I normally don't give the kids candy and especially fundip, it is like flavored sugar but 20 times more intense. So we went to the Penny Candy Store with Papa Wayne and this is what Ashton picked when we got home for his one piece of candy. I must have thought it wasn't going to do anything, the girls have eaten it and it doesn't do anything to them, so it should be a problem right. Well you can see were this post is going, not anywhere good. To make a long story short, lots of violence, disobedience, hitting, yelling, running in circles, and late bed time like around 11:30. I will NEVER NEVER NEVER give this drug to my child, and this is your warning if you ever are baby sitting him, I will not feel sorry for you, this is the final warning.

"Who Is On The Phone?"

Sunday afternoon rolls around and Daniel picks up the phone and the voice asked for me, "who is it" I say, "Erin from the Mom's In Motion Group". Oh dear, I am thinking maybe I shouldn't have been so blunt, cause now I have to speak to this women.

To sum up the call Erin gave me a sincere apology followed which an explanation of how this happened. The group is new to the Meet Up scene and she doesn't check it as often as she should, so she didn't see that I had RSVP for it, so she didn't know to look for me. She also said the same thing happened to her at her first Mom's play date, so she knew how it isto feel so intimidated. She also said I noticed you changed your RSVP for the valentines party, I would like you to come and see how are group really is. We are a great group of women. So with this all being said I apologised for the harsh review and said we would be glad to try it again.

Mom's In Motion Gone Bad

Mom's In Motion is the other mom's group I wanted to check out. I had tried to go to a couple of the play dates before the meet and greet but someone always got sick which meant no play date, ugh. Anyways on Friday morning at 10 in the Mc Donald's play yard was a play date, so the boys and I rushed out of the house to get there on time. We were there at 9:50 so that I could pancakes for Ashton which he loves. I started to feed the baby his breakfast, Ashton is eating, 10:15 rolls around and finally someone shows up. Then a couple more trickle in, so it is about 10:30 now and no one as approached me. Now some may have gone over to the small circle of women but me, I was a little intimidated by the situation. Not only that but the organizer knew I was coming, I had RSVP on the meet up site, my profile has my picture and everything. The organizer doesn't have a picture of herself so I didn't know who she was, just a picture of her baby twin girls. So at about 10:40 after talking to Daniel and explaining what was happening I decided to get up and leave. Right before I left I called Teresa who is the organizer of the other group I am in and told her what was going down. She said to just come and play at her house for a while. So we walked out and went to play at Jake's, we had fun. I went home and sent in my rate your play date email, and let me tell you I was very honest and expressed what I was feeling very clear, so there was zero confusion. I later that day pulled myself off that groups roster.

Learning To Communicate

Ashton learns at least 4 new words a day. He is constantly coming out with new stuff or building on stuff that he already knows. Here are some adorable examples, dirty, he knows what content to use it. He will be holding up his night night and say "dirty", smell it, make a face and then say "wash Mommy, k?". He always firms up what he was saying with a "k", he will say k as many times as it takes until you say yes or no. If you say no, he then will say "why", in the sweetest hard to say no to him voice. Then he will tell you "come on" and lead you to his room where you will find his shoes to go "oside". And if he is feeling hungry he will say "hot dog make Mommy", he LOVES hot dogs of any kind. When we are getting in the car and I say "who spilled cereal all over" he will answer "sissy did that", or who gave you juice "Daddy did that". When he is locked out of a room he will stand at the gate and say "get out", "nuggle Daddy". While driving in our wee gross town we will come to the one stop light and he will see me turning either left or going straight, he will point right and say "no that way" towards Yuba City. I am so entertained and amazed with what he puts together, I like this part of the two's.

Happy Birthday Lala

Dearest Mommy, I am writing this letter because I am not as organized as I would like to be and didn't send a card soon enough. However, I wanted to make sure you know how special you are to me on your birthday. First I would like to say that I wish I was there to celebrate your fifty third birthday with you, however I know that you are surrounded by people that adore and love you, and that makes me feel better. You have so many talents and qualities that I can only hope to have as I keep getting older. First of all you are the BEST hosttess I have ever seen, no one can even get close to compare. I hold myself to a very high standard trying to be like you, and someday with practice I hope I can. You are the best cook I know, every where I go you are the standard that I compare too. You are a strong woman, you know what you deserve and will fight to make sure you get it. I mean you are married to the most stubborn man I know, and you don't back down if it is something you believe in, and I respect you for that. You have instilled in my a honesty that surprise people in my life. I can not tell a lie not even a small one, so even if I get in trouble or hurt someones feelings I will tell the truth. If you don't tell the whole story it is a lie, I remember you saying that, I feel like this is one of my best qualities that you have instilled in me. You have love me unconditionally, I have disappointed you and hurt you, yet you still love me, and more and more as time goes on. Over the years of my adult life you have become my best friend (and I only have 3). I know that you will always say what is on your mind no matter if I don't want to hear it, because you truly care about me and my family. I can celebrate happiness with you and know that you genuinely feel the same as me. When I am sad, you feel my sadness, only people that truly love one another can do this. You have put a roof over my family's head when I couldn't, you have fed my family when i couldn't, you have provided material things that I couldn't. You are the best grandparent to my kids, yet you are the furthest away. Today I want you to feel good, you have done an awesome job as a Mommy, La-la, mother in law and wife. I love you SO much. I can't wait till I can join you and Lana in all your adventures in South Dakota. Happy Birthday Mommy. P.S. Thank you Lana for doing this for me. And you are lucky to hang with such a wonderful woman all the time, I'm jealous.

34 Weeks Old

Jackson today expressed that he doesn't like being told no. He was trying to pull my necklace and I kept pulling his hand away and saying "no buddy". Then at that point he started to cry a little whining spoiled brat cry, like that was going to change my mind. Please baby Jack Mommy is was more hard core then that.

Was Your Room Clean As A Kid?

Ok so, the girls room is NEVER clean more then a couple of hours, it drives me banan's. I don't remember what my room was like as a kid most of the time, I do remember having to clean up some gross stuff every now and then though. Was your room clean as a kid?

Update On Lil Jack

Still snotty (you can see it in the picture) but so much happier. Jackson ate solid food last night, which he hasn't wanted to eat solids for about 5 days. He then went to sleep on his on in the port-a-crib, and slept threw the night!!! I so needed that, let me tell you, I don't do well with having to wake up every hour 5 days in a row. Then this morning he went down for a nap in his crib which he hasn't even laid in for a week and fell asleep for his nap. He still has a rattly cough and lots of buggies but Doc stays that will hang around for a couple of months. So glad you came back baby Jack.

This Is Why Eric Can't Sleep At Our House

I will say it isn't always like this thank goodness, however is does always seem to happen when Eric sleeps over. He must love us because he keeps comeing back.

Eric And Georgia Peach

So cute!!

My Nite Nite

I love how obsessed he is with this little nite nite.

Sick Lil Jack

This was taken right before we went to the doctors on Thursday. I had called Wednesday evening and made an appointment because I could tell something was wrong. He was breathing really quick and shallow, I remember this from when Kels was a wee lil baby with croup.

By the time we went to the doctors he had already gotten worse. They tested him for RSV, not a very nice test, but luckily I didn't know fully what to expect.

His test came in the next afternoon, positive, just what the doc thought.

As of right now he seems to be doing good, he is really sleepy. He will wake for about 30 minutes and then want to take another nap. He is eating pretty good considering how poopie he feels.

Yes , he has kicked his big Daddy out of the bed the last two nights. But Daddy is ok with that, he knows how great it is to sleep next to the Mommy.

33 Weeks Old

Our lil baby just keeps growing, darn it, I told him if he didn't stop he is going to get grounded, but he doesn't seem to care. He is almost out of his infant seat, which I am glad and sad at the same time. However, this was the most expensive seat I have ever bought, however it is by for the nicest user friendly to have, I think that is why I am still using it and he is 8 months old. We still have 8 more pounds or 4 more inches whatever comes first before we out of it.

Hottie Garbage Man

You can take my trash out any day!! :P

Stay Tuned

I know I haven't blog in a couple days, for you faithful bloggers. I have lots to post but my house is screaming to be cleaned so the blog will have to wait. Things to look forward to, the Mommy group that we joined, Bunco, sick kids, my baby turning yet a week older still, nasty crows, the cute garbage guy, and a fort made by Uncle . Until next time...

Nasty Crow's

When I go to work really early and then when I was passing though late tonight there are these nasty crows all over. I mean all over like the sky is covered, does anyone know why, it just creeps me out.

Bunco #4

So this is them, all the ladies I have a blast with once a month for a couple hours, (my favorites are in the purple and blue pj's). It was another pj night and the host Jeanie in the black shirt to the left standing had this awesome spa stuff she sells for us to try. She had all kinds of sugar scrubs, lotions, lip peels, yummy foot stuff, and really good food (the most important part). Her house was beautiful, everything I wish I can have when I grow up. I had a great time, I enjoy the socializing more then the game sometimes I have to say, but I won that night, 16 wins baby!
