Grins and Hungry?

Baby Joey
Joey is getting more and more expressive he gave both Kevin and I huge grins yesterday at the grocery store, and is getting more and more likely to randomly grin at us. We reached another one of my Spring Break goals, the boys and I made cookies this morning, yummy! They were "Mickey Mouse Club House Cookies" as my Mickey calls them. They were Disney Brand Disney Magic Selection Break n' Bake Chocolate chip Cookies with red while and brown Mickey mouse confetti. Pretty yummy. I'm glad we took the time to do that as it meant a lot to the boys. It makes me almost want to make real cookies, you know with butter, and sugar and flour and eggs... Almost. I really should just do it, the boys…

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…

I’m Sad, and What To Do?

To new beginnings
It seems a lot of my blogging buddies have stopped blogging, or are taking a really long break. :(  So here's your challenge, if it's been a little while, go and update us on what you've been up to since the last blog! I keep asking Michael what he wants to do on spring break.  He responses are "Play Wii" "Watch TV" and "Play Computer."  When I say, what else, he rotates through these answers...  I need to get this boy going!!!  So my goals are to do something fun every day while he's home and to minimalise laziness!  That goes for me too! So we're thinking of going to the beach, going to the park, making cookies or other fun foods, and I'm not sure what else, but we've…

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…

Just trying to catch up…

Aiden, Baby Wearing, Church
Today I was a trying desperately to catch up with several things I've been letting sag lately. For some reason I feel more behind than ever. So is life sometimes, I guess. Tonight for our annual Relief Society Birthday party we had our wards usual service auction. I LOVE this activity. Everyone donates a service or two, and then you bid on it with your points that you count up with things that you've done lately, i.e. visiting teaching, smiling at strangers, doing something kind and unexpected, writing kind notes, you get the picture... I donated a couple things that I had on hand and my talents with photography and photo editing, and I won a cake (don't know what kind yet), a lunch or dinner with a sister, and…
