Dance, sickness and Joey’s fussy.

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Kevin and I, Michael
I'm feeling a bit better, but it's gone from burning sinuses (think pool water up your nose as a kid, always my sign I'm getting sick), down to my throat, it never moves that fast so I'm hoping that means it'll be history by tomorrow night. We had a rough night with Joey lastnight. He decided not only to be awake, but fussy and unhappy from around 1:30 to almost 4:oo AM. He then crashed until the big boys got up, and Daddy took him out to the living room, put him in his swing and he slept happily for a while. Tonight again he's been less than happy about anyhting but being held a certain way and nursing a lot, he's spitting up a lot so I imagine that…

Tag!

Games
OK, I didn't get tagged, but saw this on Sophia C's blog and thought it'd be fun. 10 years ago~ I was Hmm, almost 16, uh oh, not a great year... I was dating a boy a bit too seriously, I "sluffed" a lot of class, my family moved from North Logan to Utah Valley, and in the process I got moved a few months early to live with my Uncle. This was the year I was suicidal, and also the year that I made a conscious effort to really be my best me and turned things around for myself with lots of support from loving family and friends. Also the year I met and made friends with Serena, Michelle, Quincy, Paul, JD, "Lobes," "Doll," Carl, Mary, Melinda, Danielle, Kim…

Aiden

Aiden
I'm sick. I've got a lot to do today, so I hope it can get under control so that I can function. I realized that I don't write much about Aiden, so here's a little about him... He likes to touch everything. This morning he got into the pantry and got out every single box he could reach, it kept him busy as I made a phone call and organized some stuff so I let him do it, he then lined up all of the boxes like lily pads (see where he's going with this?) and then started marching across them, Ummm, ugh! That was over quick! He likes treats, a LOT, he regularly points to the treat bowl that I keep over the sink with random sugars inside, begging…

Please be an Angel

Michael
This morning as we took Michael to school I reminded him, as usual, to be on his best behavior. I said "Can you please be an Angel?" He paused and said, "Um, No!" I was shocked thinking he was planning on being less than stellar. I bit my tongue and asked him "Why not?" He sighed as if I should know already and said "Because I don't have wings!" Kevin and I laughed, and explained it was a figure of speech and we really just wanted him to be like an angel... I'm sure I should have explained that real angels don't have wings, but by then he was gone on his way, smiling his sweet innocent smile that could fool you that he'd never do anything mischievous.

Paint, Daddy baby wears, and more rose pics.

Aiden, Baby Joey, Baby Wearing, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures
Lastnight while I arranged my flowers, Kevin painted some figures and the boys played at the table doing homework and coloring. Joey got fussy so Kevin went to get him. Kevin had him balanced on his lap in a uncomfortable looking way, so I went and got the Snugli for them to use. It was the first time in this carrier for Joey and I think he really liked it. Well other than this photo, hahaha. Maybe he was worried Daddy was going to paint him. And here's the photo's of my flowers arranged. The vase that the red roses are in is one I already had from the last time Kevin got me flowers, and the big one Kevin got me yesterday. That arrangement is almost as big as…

Brother Quotes

Aiden, Allergies, Baby Joey, Michael
First off, I finally updated my "about us" section (top right) so you can go there to get a bit of history on us. So I guess that makes 7 entries during this three day weekend, LOL! I promise I won't keep going at this rate, nobody would ever keep up. If only I'd enjoyed writing like this in school, oh well, at least it'll do me some good when I'm in college in a few years. Oh, and a bit of good news on the allergy front, Joey's poop is almost the right color again!!!! Hahaha, at least I don't take and share pics guys... So for now I'm just keeping out nuts and chocolate, and I've just had a little milk products, mostly just a dollop of cottage…

Deer in the headlights and a jaw drop!

Kevin and I, Pictures
That's what I looked like when Kevin came in from errands today. I told him not to get me flowers for Valentines Day, I think they're overpriced and less than stellar quality on that day. He still felt bad even though he'd gotten me another gift, and apologized when I picked him up that he hadn't gotten me flowers and a card, but I was 100% fine with that. I'd rather have some sporadic and not even expected surprise gift of flowers, than on a day when it's kinda typical from a lot of spouses. This afternoon he showed up with these...             4 dozen very long stem roses! Wowowzza! Just because! They're gorgeous and they smell SOOO good, I wish I could share the…

Breakfast with my Buddy

Holidays, Michael
This morning I had breakfast with Michael at school. It was pretty fun. Kevin has the day off for Presidents Day, and so he took the younger boys while I took Michael in to pay his lunch money and to have breakfast with him. It was really nice to spend some time alone with my oldest. We had milk, juice and sausage on a biscuit.

First Real Smile and Change

Baby Joey
Joey gave me his first real smile tonight, he was in a good mood so I started playing peek-a-boo with him, he watched a few times and then smiled at me one of the times I pulled my hands off my face. He woudn't repeat it for Daddy though. We'll have to try it with the big boys tomorrow, Joey LOVES to watch them. I've changed the header and theme name of the blog (from "Joseph M. Steele" to "Kaylene's Mommy Thoughts"), don't worry, it's still the same blog, just more about all of us is the direction I'm starting to take it. Eventually when Joey isn't my biggest train of though anymore, and things start to balance out I'm sure our blog here will be more about my random…
