Happy Leap Year! and Kiddo Tag!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Dreams, Games, Holidays, Kevin and I, Michael
This is my 6th leap year, it's so fun! I feel the need to do something special. and it's a Friday too!!! Whoo hoo! This morning I got up and for once I wasn't dragging, don't know why, maybe we slept better lastnight, or I just had a surprisingly happy morning. Usually mornings consist of me wishing it wouldn't come yet, and then dreading the morning routine (taking Michael and Kevin to school and work, and then getting the boys back in if I don't run errands on the way home). I just have a really rough time with mornings... I have very vivid dreams. Very. Lastnight I dreamed that we were buying a house. Not just any house. This house had about 8 bedrooms, almost all of which had…

Joey’s Baby Shower

Baby Joey, Pictures
Tara B. and Sophia C., two sisters in my ward, threw me a baby shower today with our church girls. The invite. The guests of honor. It was so much fun to spend time with everyone. We had chicken salad sandwiches and and a chocolate fountain brought by Susannah O. with angel food cake. Mmmm! The cupcake pull apart, the kids loved it, hahaha! The spread. The fountain, yummy! We received lots diapers and wipes and some lotion and soap, and even a hat and outfit. There was even a beautiful diaper cake! Thanks Susannah!   Thanks everyone, the gifts will be well appreciated and loved!

Warning: KFC’s Double Chocolate Chip Cake

Aiden, Baby Joey, Kevin and I, Michael
This thing is yummy! (link) Today we went to KFC for a late lunch. We'd missed lunch before we got Michael and we needed to go get Kevin about 45 minutes after getting Michael so we had about a half hour to kill. In the drive through Michael noticed the cake on the board, and asked for one, I wanted some too so I decided to get two thinking that Kevin and I could share one and Aiden and Mike could share the other. At almost $2 a pop I thought hey, that's a bit steep, but it's fun to get a fun treat occasionally, about the same as a slice of cheesecake right? Well, I pulled up handed the girl my card, she ran it, and then she handed…

Diaper Changes

Aiden, Allergies, Baby Joey
Well Joey is doing OK. The coloring of his poop is finally evening out, and just every few is slightly green anymore. I started eating Chocolate again and I'm now pretty positive that's not a part of the problem, but I have cut out all nuts and that is definitely helping. Just a few more days and it'll be completely out of our systems and we'll see if there's something else we need to cut out. He moved up a diaper size in the last couple days, he's now in size 1-2 in Huggies. He's gone through two cases of size one, plus the two small hospital packs and a left over medium bag that I got when Aiden was a baby that he never started. The 1-2 size is…

Happy birthday Grandpa Moms! 48 wahoo!

Aiden, Michael
It's my Dad's birthday today!!! Yahoo, he was born on leap year so if he'd been born just 5 days later he'd have his 12th birthday on Friday. BTW, my kids differentiate between the sets of grandparents by which parent they are parents to. So my Parents are Grandpa and Grandma Moms, and Kevin's Parents are Grandma and Grandpa Dads. Well if you ask Aiden, they're all Grandpa's, hahaha, he hasn't quite got down the Ma's in Grandma.

Missing Church, Again!

Church, Venting
I'm so frustrated. I mentioned that I'm sick, well this morning I could barely climb out of bed. :( I figured I'd press through and we'd make it to church anyways. Well, Kevin has a nasty head cold this morning too... Aiden was supposed to be in sharing time today, but that's not happening. Sometimes it seem that when you're trying the hardest you get the most resistance. :(

New Theme!

Blog Changes
I have a new theme, it's bright and happy and makes me feel good. Not that the old one was bad, just tired, and too much geared towards my original intention for this blog, preparing for my baby boy. I also like the layout a bit, there'll be changes as I get comfortable with it, so don't be surprised, if say the header, colors, and patterns on the sides change over the next few weeks. anyways, let me know what you think. :)
