Story Time

This isn't a very flattering picture of me, but oh well... I'm a busy Mommy! My boys sure are good looking though!
Sam's fat lip finally went down, but his front tooth IS turning brown:( That sure is difficult for me to see because I take such good care of his teeth and I love his little smile, but what can you do?! I have a active little boy... it's too bad though:(

Jack is 4 Months Old!

Poor Sammy and His Fat Lip

Yesterday Sam fell and hit his front teeth right into the coffee table. He was SO HURT and it was so hard for me to see. I'm kind of glad I wasn't home when it happened, but I saw the aftermath and that was hard enough. It's amazing how much I hurt when my kids hurt:( 
I took him to the dentist this morning, but it's still kind of unknown as to what exactly is going to happen. His teeth are loose and I am super worried! They could turn brown and/or fall out, but what we are really hoping for is that they just tighten up and stay in his little head for a couple more years! The dentist seems optimistic though, and that gives me hope (thank you Molly:).
He's trying to be brave, but I know he is hurting... poor little guy!

Jack is SO SMILEY!






Sam is Really Growing Up

While I get ready for work, Sam loves to bring his little kitchen into our bedroom and make me eggs. It's so cute! I just can't believe how fast time flies. I swear, it seems like the more kids you have, the faster life gets.

Presents, and Cake, and Ice Cream, and Balloons, Oh Boy!

On Sam's Birthday, I made him this cake and we had a small party at home. He got a Happy Meal, and he ate the WHOLE THING! We got him a little kitchen set and pretend food, because he loves that kind of stuff. I think he had fun, but next year we will throw him a real party

Mmmmmm... Cake!



Sammy Got a 4 Wheeler

GeeGee and Pop gave Sam this awesome Power Wheels 4 Wheeler for his Birthday. He LOVES it and hugs it saying, "I You Bike," (translation: "I love you bike").

Kisses to Mommy:)

It's Potty Time!

Sam has been showing signs that he is ready to use the potty (according to the books I've read), so we thought we would give it a try. After about 12 wet "underwear" this morning, we finally had success! We will see how it goes, but I'm so proud of my little boy.

I have to laugh at myself....and if you were a fly on the wall at our house, you would be laughing too. Here I am trying to nurse a naked crying Jack and at the same time I'm running after Sam's naked butt. Oh, it's quite a circus around here, but it's fun to see my little Sammy becoming such a big boy:)
Now, If I could only teach him to shovel snow.. hmmmm. LOL ;)

We love you little Jack...

.. you complete our family.

Smiles From Jack

Jack is really starting to fill out. He's wearing the same clothes that Sam wore at this age, so I would bet they are going to be similar in size. Who knows, Jack may even be bigger!? He's really smiling and cooing. He like to say, "awww goo." I still can't belive I have kids... plural!

Decorating The Christmas Tree


We got our tree all decorated. Sammy helped.
A BIG thanks to my friend Shanon for giving us this nice little tree, and the beautiful flowers too! Thanks Shanon, you really brightened our day :)

Good Morning Snow!

Last night I was up several times with Jack (like usual), and I kept watching the snow fall and the wind blow. Man did it get cold here ...fast! This morning we woke up to at least a foot of snow. I can't believe it... and it's still snowing! Tonight we are suppose to have record lows. Something like a low of 4 degrees with wind chill making it feel like -18 degrees!!! I am super worried about our poor little chickens, which by the way have been spared. We were planning on killing them, but it just seems like a lot of gruesome work, so I have found them a good home. I am much happier with this decision. The butcher at Albertsons as going to take them home. No, not to kill them, but to keep them. In exchange, he will give us 7 Albertson's chickens. Hardly free range, but at least our chickens get to live and lay those lovely eggs for someone else. With the new baby it's just too much work and money for me to keep those chickens warm all winter, but they were fun for a while. Man, if those ladies only knew how close they came to being dinner, they sure would be thanking me!
Today I got Sam all dressed in his new Volcome shirt and Hurley pants that Gee Gee got him. I tried to take a picture, but he wouldn't let me. He had his snow boots and mittens on and he was off to school with Daddy. Then I got  phone call from Brandon; school was closed today due to snow. Duh! I should have known. His little school closes if the local elementary schools have a closure and I forgot. Poor Brandon had to come all the way back to Hailey and return Sam. Even with Gee Gee's help, my surgery has been kind of difficult on all of us... I just can't pull my weight around here and it has meant more work for Brandon. I know it's good for him, but I can't wait until I'm back to normal. For example, I'm going to have to find a creative way to give Sammy a nap today since I can't lift him into his crib. I wonder if he will lay in bed with me? we'll see. Taa taa for now:)

Jack Is 2 Months Old



Jack is 2 months old now. I can't believe it has been that long, especially because I am still recovering. He's really growing and fattinging up, and he smiles all the time. I just keep thinking how fun it's going to be when these 2 boys get old enough to play together.

Sam In His Room


cool man!


So when Gee Gee was here, we decided to open the baby gate in the hallway and start letting Sam play in his own bedroom. I hadn't let him before because the changing table was in there and he couldn't keep his little mitts out of the Vaseline, etc. But we moved the changing table and now Sam is free to roam. I must admit... it was a fantastic idea. Since Sam has this new freedom, he has been so much more agreeable and happy:) Maybe that's all he needed... a little more freedom!
He's so cute... he will shove me out of his room, shut the door, and play. I love it!
