Lifetime moments

Yesterday was one for Connor's baby book. His first tooth is on its way! A very small ,very sharp corner of a tooth has broken skin. This was discovered early in the morning as he was chewing on my hand. Later that evening as i was telling Josh about his growing baby, Connor decided to start crawling! He doesn't have the coordination down quite yet but he can definitely move across a room. This new development frustrates Keegan, no longer being able to keep his toys out of brothers reach.

Let the sibling fighting begin! Round one!

This week my grandparents celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary! WOW! We should all be so lucky to spend that amount of years with the one we love. To celebrate the family, including Naida and Kent in town from Colorado, met at Southside Bistro for dinner. Unfortunately Connor did not want to take part and after a long time of trying to soothe him I had to excuse myself and take the kids home. The screaming did not let up for a long time. Hopefully the gathering tonight will go a lot more smoothly.

Love you all!

Updates

The kids have gotten over their colds but I am still very sick. I went to the urgent care this morning. I am at the point of not being able to sleep because I'm so uncomfortable! And the doctor there told be that I have a bad sinus infection that has spread to my throat. WONDERFUL! Now I'm taking these pills twice a day that look like they're meant for horses, hopefully I'll be feeling better soon. Josh gets home in one week! YA! We are very excited to have him coming home, this gone five weeks home for one thing is very hard on our family (especially when I'm sick) I hope that from now on he sticks to the four and two. I guess the good thing is that we'll all be healthy by the time he gets home.... hopefully.

I've been trying to post pictures on the web page but for some reason it's not letting me. As soon as I can figure it out I have lots of pictures to share.

Yesterday my mom and Larry started the Yukon River Quest. I've been looking at the pictures online and the weather doesn't look like it's been cooperating very well, so I hope that they remain safe. Check out www.yukonriverquest.com for more information and up to date results.

Book thoughts

I finished reading I'd Trade my Husband for a Housekeeper and I loved it! I recommend this to everyone that's married, whether it's been one year or ten it's funny and insightful. I've ordered their other book, hopefully it's just as good.

SICK!!!

Yesterday all three of us woke up at about midnight with horrible colds. Congestion, sore throat and runny nose. Connor had it the worst with the addition of a fever and teething. We stumbled through the day and I was happy to say goodnight; however, that happiness didn't last long. Connor woke up minutes later screaming. My early bed time of 9:00pm turned into a late 11:00pm. Thankfully we all got lots of rest with only a few minor screaming fits. Unfortunately it looks like today won't be any easier, I feel like I've been hit by a bus. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
I'm very thankful that Josh is at work right now, even though I am miserable he just wouldn't know how to handle it. Don't get me wrong he is a wonderful husband and father but we're a lot to handle when we are all sick. Just me alone is a lot deal with, (I don't know how my mother did it) but put a whining toddler and screaming infant on top of that, and you have one unpleasant household.

Right now Keegan is eating and Connor is sleeping, so I'll sign off so I can have a few moments of peace before someone needs something again.

Love you all!!!

...more later!

I know that it has been a long time since my last post but we have been incredibly busy. Between my two beautiful boys and moving into a new house there hasn't been much down time.

Keegan is loving his new room and seeing all his toys again. It was like Christmas all over again. Thanks to daddy he has a very special addition to his room, a fish tank with two fish! I am very happy to say that he even helps me feed them every day. The toilet training is finally starting to make some progress, and I'll just leave it at that.

It is wonderful having all of our baby supplies around and (some what) organized. It makes life with an infant so much easier. Although Connor still wakes up throughout the night to eat I hope to soon start putting him in his crib at nap time to get him used to it, so some day soon I can have a kid free bed again.

It sounds like nap time is done for now.... more later!

Love you all!

Politics

I have to share my thoughts on this on going debate that has taken over the media about Arizona and illegal immigrants.

There are many people that enter this country and contribute to the wealth of the United states, but there are many others that enter the US by illegal means and now there is an ongoing debate about their rights and others that share their ethnicity. I don't agree in racial profiling but how else do you expect to find illegal immigrants? If a person is stopped by police due to their ethnicity, unless they are in the US illegally, why is there an issue to show that you are a legal resident? I don't get it!

I have more to rant about, but a child is waking up.

More later.

The Boys

Not much new to discuss this week. We've been wrapped up watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs (Go Penguins!) Connor is fascinated watching hockey. He will happily lay on the floor and watch the game, he and Grandpa Fish (Larry) are a perfect match. Keegan on the other hand is a ball of fire and could care less about hockey or sitting still. He and I have been butting heads quite a bit these past few days, his answer for everything is NO!

Heck with the terrible twos, these are the frightening threes!

Love you all!
