the new pet

Filed Under Kids, laughter, love | Leave a Comment

At preschool, Cookie earned a treasure from the treasure box for writing her name at home and taking it to school. She was so excited and came home with a little red capsule that looked like a pill. (worried me for a minute actually!)
After dinner we placed it into a clear cup of water and waited. A little while later a horse shape came out of the capsule and I had Cookie rinse the rest of the jel cap off of the red horse. I then suggested she take it out and go play with it.
Imagine my surprise when she started crying! She says “I want to leave it in there so it can grow big!” I explained that it wasn’t going to get any bigger to which she really started to sob and says, “But MOM! I want a friend to ride and play with. That is too little! Put it in the water some more!” Poor thing! She has left it in the water and hopefully forgotten about it for a little while, but how am I going to explain!!

Thumb wrestle

Filed Under Kids, laughter, love | Leave a Comment

Today at a family reunion, Forrest and his new wife, Melissa were eating with the rest of us. My youngest brother LG who is 7 was sitting next to Melissa. He was saying that he wanted to marry Melissa when he grew up and how he LOVED her. Forrest kept saying things like done deal, too late, and I already won her.
Finally in frustration, LG says “Give me your hand. We will thumb wrestle to see who gets to keep Melissa” (giggle!)

Forrest, being a good sport, started to thumb wrestle and won with a “sneak attack” (used his other hand). LG says “Darn. I’ll get you next time”
So cute~!

First Day of School

Filed Under Kids, love, parenting | Leave a Comment

Well, we survived. I admit that I was a little teary eyed as they marched off to class. Luckily it was outside and bright so my sunglasses saved me from looking like a dork. Ü

I think that another reason I was able to let go a little more easily is that we had a ROUGH day yesterday. Superkid destroyed the blinds in his room, put baby powder all over my room, was constantly fighting or teasing the other kids, and overall didn’t listen or obey. It was one of those days where you go to bed and wonder what happened! BUT we survived and now he’s in school.
Enjoy the pics!

We have the colic under control…

Filed Under Kids, food, love, parenting | 2 Comments

Well, as the title indicates, I think we have conqured the colic monster! Baby is irritated by milk and chocolate. She seems to do ok when I eat things that have milk in them, as long as its not homemade…so like granola bars are ok, but homemade pancakes are not…weird I know!

It is really difficult to avoid chocolate especially and I’m still getting the hang of what to eat for breakfast. I normally have oatmeal, cream of wheat or cold cereal…with milk, so that’s taken some adjusting.

I did find some wonderful carmel striped cookies that are saving my life right now! YUM!

We have also moved out of my in-laws!! We have been living there since March 1st while looking for a house. I will spare the boring/depressing details, but we are in a place now! It is a 3 bedroom townhome with a backyard. The kids LOVE it out there! I will post pictures when I find the camera in the mountains of boxes!

So life is good. Ü

Tutu and Preschool Graduation

Filed Under Kids, love, parenting, preschool | Leave a Comment

Here are the pictures I promised from SuperKid’s preschool graduation and the Tutu I made for Cookie. She is still wearing it everywhere and I can only peel it off of her when it is filthy! SuperKid keeps asking when Kindergarten is starting and can’t hardly wait!

Tater is just cute as even and learning new words every day! It is fun to hear his new words and increasing vocabulary!

Enjoy the pics!

Baby is Here!

Filed Under Kids, love | 2 Comments

Baby E has joined the ranks! She was born at 8:26 am on June 5th. She was 20 inches long and 6 lbs and 14 oz. She is a beautiful baby girl that has claimed the hearts of her mom, dad, and siblings in less than a heartbeat.

Labor and delivery went well. Instead of my normal 20 minutes- 1 hr. labors, she was a little bit longer at just 4 minutes short of 3 hours. I guess officially the contractions started the night before after Jefe and I took a walk. I was able to sleep through the contractions until 5:30 when they intensified and then I had 10 contractions in 10 minutes. That was when I decided it was time to go to the hospital.

Jefe’s alarm clock was just starting to go off and so I put my arm around him and said “It’s time to go to the hospital” to which he said “You’re kidding, right?!” I laughed and said no, we need to go to the hospital to which he said, “But I need to take a shower”. I laughed again and told him he could have one if he hurried. ;o)

He decided that we’d better just go to the hospital. We got there about 6:30 am and found a warm welcome from the very nervous nurses who had read up on my history of quick deliveries. I assured them that I was not that far along, but they didn’t settle down until they confirmed that I was only dilated to a 5.

When the Dr. got there I was about a 6 and completely effaced. He broke my water and the contractions intensified, but in between we still were able to share funny stories and jokes. They checked me about 8:15 and I was at a 7. Much to the surprise of everyone, I went from a 7 to a 10 in one contraction and then baby was crowning. The drugs that we had discussed were out of the question at that point and so once again, baby came naturally. She took 3 pushes until she was completely delivered (thank goodness!)

Dr. felt really bad that we didn’t have time for the drugs, but I was just glad to be done with the whole thing. Baby didn’t like being rubbed and moved around and she screamed pretty good to let everyone know it. ;o)

The hospital staff was great and kept us happy, fed and comfortable. The nurses were very friendly and some even stayed in my room for a few extra minutes to chat. They even served Jefe and I a candle light dinner complete with sparkling cider!

Baby is still doing good still with no signs of Jaundice and has even gained 5 oz back since being released from the hospital.

Sorry for the delay in blogging…the day we came home from the hospital, my computer crashed! It is still not working ;o(.
