Satisfaction

Well its been a while so I thought I owed everyone a post!



Little miss priss is completely potty trained and doing an excellent job. We had some issues with # 2, but we soon discovered she needed some privacy. She only does it at home. She will pee anytime anywhere but she will hold the other until she gets home. I think it is kinda funny!



Yesterday was her fall festival at the daycare and she looked so freakin cute! She is going to be an ice cream cone for Halloween from Pottery Barn. She is going to look adorable!

We are 27 weeks tomorrow...and that my friends is freaking scary! If he is like his sister we may meet him in 10 weeks, but I am hoping he is a typical laid back male and takes his time. He can stay in there until my dr will leave him in there. Don't get me wrong, I cant wait to meet this little guy, but the midnight feedings, leaky boobs, bleeding, stitches can take their time to get to me. Sorry if that was TMI, but its the nasty side of childbirth!

I can't wait for this semester to be over so I can slow down, relax, and enjoy life! I have been extremely overwhelmed...I have been playing super mom for too long..it anyone needs this costume for the weekend I will let you borrow, free of charge. The cleaning, school, work, and play with Mati has drained every ounce out of me. I am trying to refocus and get it back together.

HMMM most days I wonder what this little miracle growing in my expanding belly is going to look like. I would love to have a child that looks like me, but Josh was such a handsome little boy with his blonde comb over I am torn! He will be perfect. I am hoping he is a little bigger than 6.2 lbs...Mati was so small it was scary going home with a 5.12 lb baby! A little weight makes me feel a little better!

Here are some funny things Mati has been saying:

Mati was outside in her swing and Josh passed gas...Mati looked at him and said "Josh, you need to poo poo? he said "No" Mati: "ohhh you just tooted" Josh: "Yes" Mati: "Well don't poo poo in your panties, you poo poo in the potty, okay?"

We walked out of our bedroom the other night and baxter was waiting in the hall...Mati looked at Baxter and said "hey beautiful"...

Last week she was so sick, but she informed Josh that her baby was sick, not her..

She pokes her belly out like mommies...its hilarious!

She also let me know she was a princess and she was beautiful...

I have an awesome video of her singing her ABC's she does such a great job, and knows every letter!

The kid talks in her sleep non-stop! She whines...she yells at baxter for stealing her sticker...she asks for blues clues...last weekend she actually asked for donut holes...its pretty funny!

Life is going swell, if it could just slow down and let me breath I would really appreciate it..k..thanks..

Hope all is going great for everyone..I am craving turkey and dressing like a pregnant woman..ohh thats right I am pregnant!

My lover!

Man O Man...I love this dreamboat! I miss his longer hair! ahhhhh Date Night tomorrow~

Rise and Shine!

I wish I was always this happy at 7:30am!!!!! Tomorrow is Friday!!!!

I'm cooking baby!

Well I have decided to learn a new skill. I really want to learn how to COOK! I want Josh to be able to say, yeah my wife works ...goes to school..has babies...and man can she cook! This has always been a skill that I have lacked. My mom always cooked growing up and when she didn't my older sisters did. I was never forced in the kitchen to help make dinner. EVER!
So with all that said, I am really focusing my extra time on cooking. I have been cruising the Paula Dean website and other various recipe blogs. I also have been calling my mom for some of my favorite dinners she use to cook growing up. Josh and I have school 1 night a week on separate nights. I am determined to make dinner those 3 other nights a week and then maybe grill 1 night on the weekend. This is my goal...not a promise. I have patiently been waiting until the beginning of the month so I can splurge on some grocery shopping. My problem is I love to fry things. I went and picked up squash and okra yesterday...and can't wait to fry them. Poor Josh..he is going to have to commit himself to the gym if he wants to stay slim. hehehe..

Other than that school will be in full swing after tonight. My 2 online classes seem simple..its my math class that I am scared of....uhhhh....Lord help me! I always did really well in Math, the only issue is after 9th grade I completely cheated in the class. So I am not re-learning anything...I am learning it for the first time..lol.....If I could only write a letter to me at 16. It would say study hard.....don't bother with boys..keep your head in the books and out of the drama!

One of my first successful dinners was on Monday....stuffed chicken...bacon wrapped and ohh soo yummy....Josh adjusted his pants and told me to add this to my list of things I can cook. Can I get an amen? lol..

Doesn't it look delicious? 25 minutes prep...40 minutes in the oven...so easy! If you want the recipe let me know...I am not going to post it, this isn't a cooking blog sorry!


And I thought I would end with a picture of Madelyne. She loves getting into her mommy's make-up. While cleaning my room I noticed I hadn't heard her for a few minutes..anyone with children knows this can mean trouble....I walk into the bathroom to find her ducked down applying mommy's eyeshadow as blush.....if you look closely you can see her dark cheeks! Gotta love little girls, or at least mine anyways~

Happy Hump Day everyone!

Starting Fresh~!

Good Morning....

I have to say I am feeling amazing today! I had a great weekend with friends and family..and caught up on some much needed rest so now its time to blog.

Friday we went to dinner with a friend from High School that was in town and some close friends of ours. After dinner we headed back to our place to watch a comedy and share some laughs. I fell asleep putting Madelyne and Brittney fell asleep on my couch by 10 so....I don't feel too bad. Saturday mommy slept in Josh took Mati to the little gym! She had a blast and I got some much needed sleep. I am looking forward to going this weekend. That is for sure. Once they got back it was a quick change and then off to a birthday bash. After the birthday we headed off to a baby shower! Madelyne just loved entertaining after she warmed up. We dropped by my moms on the way home and let everyone get their dose of loving and headed home for a nap. Geez that makes me tired just thinking about it! After our nap....moo went to Walmart with her daddy and mommmy went to a "mommy" party with a girlfriend. We had a blast!

Sunday we decided to skip church ( I know, shame shame) and have family time instead. I made a big breakfast and we lounged in our pj's half the day. It was great. We didn't go anywhere. Madelyne played with her water table outside, we had naps (lovely), and then organized all the toys Mati got for her birthday. The kid is going to have to give somethings up before Christmas. Josh was in and out of doing school work all day, but it was so nice spending time together. We have been so busy with life; school, parties, being sick.....we just don't get the time to often to re-group and have some laughs. Josh says I have been way to serious lately and I really just need to let my hair down.

Funny things from this weekend with Madelyne:

She was sitting in the backseat with her hand closed, and I asked her what she had in her hand? She opens her hands with nothing inside and goes "uhhhhh fingers?"

She has been changing her babies diapers left and right and yesterday she would say " ohhh baby yuck....mommy she's got diareeerrraaaa.....lol..."

Last night she took all of our temperatures and gave us medicine.

Josh put together her pink tricycle and she was like "ohhh thank you Josh, I likey this"

Her new thing is "I'll be right back, okay?"

She talks to us like we are complete idiots sometimes. I swear its the funniest thing I have ever heard.


All about Noah:

He is growing great. I feel constant movement now and I am starting to get the bump...some days are good where you can't tell...some days....he is just out there! I will post a picture soon. In a week and a half we will be halfway down! Time Flies!

Here are a couple pictures from yesterday!





Playing with her water table. She would wet her slide, slide, and do it all over again.

Her first hot dog! After finishing her dinner she wanted to try ours. Josh grilled out and so we shared. She was so excited about it, you can see for yourself I am sure :)

Dear Madelyne,

My Mati moo....ohh how you have grown. You bring so much joy to my life. You really are my heart walking around outside of my body. It may seem silly, but I can't picture my life before you came along and I never want to picture you not in my life. My life began with you. Yes I love your daddy and he has a piece of my heart, but a mothers love is completely different.

Everyday you call for me from your big girl bed and "mommy" has to be the best name I have ever been called. You love to sing. It doesn't matter where we are at or what we are doing. Your daddy and I have been forced to sing "Barney Too", "ABC'S", "Itsy Bitsy Spider", and "Twinkle Star" in restaurants and various public places. You have become quite a little mama thanks to some coaching from mommy(preparing her role as a big sister). You can count to 10 extremely well and you are getting your colors down slowly. You love to read books and Blues Clues rules our TV time. You say your prayers every night, and you are the most sweet natured baby I have ever known. When I am sick or tired you make yourself cozy next so me and kiss all over my face. Then you ask, "Feel better mommy?"I love it. You are such a ray of sunshine and you make my cloudiest day bright. Your smile is contagious, and I pray the man upstairs knows how thankful we are just to hold you everyday.

You are going to be an excellent big sister. You give your brother kisses already, and you let me know he could sit next to you on the front porch. You know you are going to be a big sister and this is an everyday conversation. I just hope your world gets better when we add to it, and you never feel jealous.

You go to the Little Gym now and you love it. You are there every Saturday morning and you let your wild side come out.

Your birthday was a magical day for me. You were surrounded with people that love you, and you got everything your little heart could have desired and more. It was hilarious to watch you try to orchestrate ciaos at your party by yelling for all the kido's to run. You are just the cutest little piece of heaven.

Thank you for being my daughter. Thank you for making everyday better, that's quite a big burden for a such a little girl and you do an excellent job at it! I wish I could just freeze you so you could be my innocent little girl forever.

I love you forever and always,
Mommy
