Conference and Aiden struggles.

Aiden, Church

It's conference this weekend, and a friend of mine, Kate, mentioned taking a few questions and keeping them in mind as you listen to conference, to look for answers. So I've been reflecting on that. I'm challenging anyone who's listening to conference this weekend to bring some questions in your life right now and see if you get a little more out of conference. It's been a hard few days with Aiden. He's been really pushing the limits and having lot of tantrums. He's a very trying child, at the moment there isn't a joint from my shoulders to my finger tips that doens't hurt from my daily struggles to keep him safe and to get him into his car seat on our many daily runs to take people to…

Blessing Vacation

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures, To new beginnings

This is going to be really long, I told you I'd make up for missing posting... I'll post a link to a gallery with a lot more pictures later. Here's the details of our trip (or everyone else's trip to us), I'm detailing food cause I asked help from some friends and they helped me with menu ideas. Mom Ryan and Jared flew in late Thursday. They were supposed to come about 9, so I kept the kids up. At about 9 my Mom called said they were lost and to send the boys to bed, I got them ready and had to threaten that I wouldn't let them see grandma if they didn't go to bed that instant, and that if they did that they could come out for…

I could be a horrible Mother in Law

Aiden, Baby Joey, Kevin and I, Michael

I realized something as I drift off to sleep holding my sweet baby lastnight. He was giggling at me for no apparent reason other than he was fed and changed and happy to be next to me. He was just loving on me, his mother, the most important woman in his life. It's going to be hard someday to let my boys go and let them fancy another girl. I imagine that this is compounded by the fact that we're an all boys family and there's no other women (besides aunts and grandma's who live more than a thousand miles away) to share their fancy with, and that I don't have a daughter that I'd hopefully share the bond that I share with my own mother. The thought of them…

Grin and Owwie pics

Aiden, Baby Joey, Pictures

Here's a pic of Joey grinning for me, sweet little guy! And our poor Aiden, he ran into an open cupboard lastnight, so on top of his stuff on the right side (notice that it's developed into a mild black eye as well?) he has a vertical knot on the left side of his forehead... Poor kid! I'm now REALLY glad that I got pics of them last week in their Easter outfits.

What happens when…?

Aiden, Pictures

You finally feel like you can sit down and breath? Everything blows up. I lay down on the couch to nurse Joey at about 11:30 this morning, Aiden was playing happily with a few mega blocks next to the entertainment center, and Michael was entertaining himself back in their room. Joey had finished and nodded off to dreamland, and I was just getting ready to carefully move him to the swing and take a break, make lunch, and clean the living room. Michael (in true Steele boy fashion) came running out of the bedroom. As he passed between Aiden and the entertainment center, he tripped/yanked/something on the cord for the game cube controller still attached to the Wii from last nights games... The Wii came crashing down on Aiden's head.…

Thanks to my Readers and an Aiden funny

Aiden, Kevin and I, Pictures

And BIGGER thanks to those who comment. It TOTALLY makes my day when I see that there's a comment in moderation. (((HUGS))) Thanks for the comments on my boys, and my photos. :) As a thanks, for the first 5 people to comment on this post, I'll do a photo edit on your own photo. A simple collage, a black and white with coloration on a selected subject (i.e. hat, eyes, flowers), Torn photo edges or water color, vintage vignette, or a name photo collage. Examples~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This happened earlier today, just thought I'd share. I was squatting down to get Joey into his swing, Aiden was trying to get by, and pushed my leg with his foot. I said, "can you say, 'move please?' " A~ "Move peese!" A…

We went on vacation!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Dreams, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures

We went down to the beach and enjoyed a night on the ocean in Surfside Texas. Joey's first vacation! We stayed in a little place called "Cedar Sands Motel" not the nicest place, but not bad for the area and right on the beach. The bathroom was HUGE! We had a kitchenette and a large table with 4 chairs. They even had the Disney Channel. We woke up early (twice, LOL, Michael and Aiden couldn't go back to sleep when Joey woke us up for his 3 AM feeding), and went out and experienced the sunrise. It was breath taking! And not just cause we (mostly Kevin) had to keep running after Aiden. There were these clouds on the horizon that almost looked like a whole island out there between…

Knock Knock

Aiden

This was a joke Aiden told me today after he'd stripped off all of his clothes down to his diaper (he likes to do that), and he was cuddling under my blankets as I changed Joey on my bed before we went to get Michael today. Needless to say I thought it was hilarious, I understand if no one else finds the humor in it. It is his first full joke though... :D Aiden: Knock Knock Me: Who's there? Aiden: Shirt on. Me: Shirt on who? Aiden: I'm cold!

Field Day and last day before spring break.

Aiden, Baby Joey, Michael, Pictures

So Aiden sat on Joey today... This morning as we were rushing to get out the door, Aiden was goofing around. Joey was already strapped into his car seat with two cushy blankets on him. Aiden decided to "moon walk" away from me as I way trying to get his pants and shoes on, and well, plop, he landed right in Joey's lap! Kevin and I both jumped, but Joey just sat there watching us like nothing had even happened. Aiden finally cooperated at that point... Today is Michael's field day. They did a bunch of relay races, and it was a lot of fun. It was kinda chilly (for us Texans) and Joey got hungry so we came home early, but we had a lot of fun watching Michael…
