I should have done this before...

So, I should have done this before, but I didn't think about it.  I made my blog private, but I don't have everyone's e-mail address...so, I am un-privatizing (if that is such a thing) my blog for the next week, but on the 4th of July it is going to be closed.  So, if I haven't gotten your e-mail, let me know and I will invite you.

What happens when we have 3 or 4 or 5?????

The saying "Mama's Boy" hit its all time high in our house today.  The boys love Chris, who doesn't, but when they are upset, they want their mama!  Today, being Father's Day (Happy Father's Day Chris!), Chris took a shower first (not normal for Sunday) so that he could relax and have some alone time.  While he was showering, I gave both boys a bath and got them ready for church so that Chris wouldn't have to worry about it.  We then treated Daddy to his favorite breakfast, french toast with bacon.  Chris was feeding Logan and Tracen was running around playing, so I went to get ready to go to church.  After I was showered and dressed, I hear both boys screaming and poor Chris was doing his best to make Logan happy while trying to change Tracen's dirty diaper.  Needless to say, both boys had hit the wall!  I still had to do my hair and Chris had to get dressed for church.  So I urged Chris to go get ready and I would handle the problem.  I picked up a screaming Logan (who just got his shots yesterday) and tried talking to Tracen, but it wasn't working.  So with Logan in one arm, I scooped Tracen up in the other, went and got his "friggies" and we were on our way!  Not so easy to carry 42 lbs of upset baby.  But after just a few seconds, both were happy and ready to smile for the camera!  Really, I need to grow more arms if all of my babies are "mama's boys/girls".

Jaba the Hut

Chris took Logan in for his 2 month check-up this week and we have got a big one!!!  Weighing in at 13 lbs, 6oz and 24 inches long, he is definitely a big boy!  My mom always says that he looks like Kenton, now I guess he is bigger built like him!  

I am not too worried because Tracen too was a big boy! Many would say that he looked like Jaba the Hut as a baby (especially in this picture when Tracen was 3 months old). What do you think? 

Fully Clothed!

This past week I let Tracen go outside to play with his basketball hoop. I was doing the dishes and watching him. All of a sudden he disappeared so I went outside to look for him. Our swimming pool had been on the grass when the sprinklers came on and had filled with water. Tracen had decided to go for a swim fully clothed. WOW!!! I used to force him to play with his pool and now I can't keep him out of it.

Which Movie Mom Are You?

My Result: The Sound Of Music's Maria Von Trapp

OK, so maybe you never went straight from a convent to motherhood, but it's a safe bet that you encourage and support your family in much the same way that Maria did. Playful and yes, sometimes a little mischievous, you tend to lead by doing, and you always make sure to help your children achieve their goals without actually doing it for them.


You inspire your family because you always find creative ways to make even the most mundane chores or homework problems seem fun and important. And you want others to try to find the beauty in life — whether it's from art, music, books, or adventure. Those are just a few of your favorite things.

What are you?

A warrior at heart...

You Are Mulan!

Strong and spirited. You're no one's girly girl; actually you are very determined person with a strong sense of self. Never let go of that! The only thing that equals your sense of self is your family, but the traditions of society can always be bent to protect something or someone you love.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Wii Will Rock You!

Meet our new obsession!  We went over to our friends' (Angie and Ben) house tonight for a fun-filled night of ROCK BAND!  We have Guitar Hero, but Rock Band adds in a few new twists...singing and drums.  I really love to play the drums...I would like the singing part better had I known the songs.  I guess we will just have to get one of our own so that I can learn them and then be able to Rock out!!!  We found out that they are releasing ROCK BAND for the WII on June 22nd.  I might just have to pre-order it...(if I can talk my frugal husband into it)!  We will see!  Thanks Angie and Ben for a super fun night and for introducing us to another thing that will distract us and take away our hard earned moola!!!

A 2-month old Couch Potato!

I can hardly believe that our little Logan Christopher is already 2 months old!  The journey so far has been exhausting but definitely rewarding!  The past couple of days, Logan has been talking (cooing) to me and smiling a lot!  It is so fun to see his little personality start to shine through.  Even better, Logan has been skipping a feeding at night, so now I only get up once!  It is so nice.  It is amazing how just a couple extra hours of sleep can make such a difference.  Logan goes in for his 2 month check-up next Tuesday, but just looking at him and holding him, I can tell that he is a fatty!!!  I estimate he will weigh around 12 pounds!  Not too shabby... I love chubby babies!  Tracen has really taken to his little brother lately as well.  Logan is the only person in our house that gets kisses...so who do you think is the favorite?  Whenever I put Logan in his bouncy seat, Tracen goes over and plays with the toys and jabbers at Logan as if he can understand him.  I can't wait until they grow up and play (or fight) with each other.  I was super nervous that I wouldn't be able to be a mom of 2, but I love it!  I am finally starting to get the hang of being home all day (because at first, I was really bored!)  I know that in 3 months when I have to go back to school, that I will have a really hard time!

Let's go ride a trike!

Logan's Blessing

This weekend Chris blessed Logan.  We were so lucky to have almost all of our family attend and our friends Meagan, Mike and Brayden.  Thanks to everyone who came.  We really appreciate everything everyone does for us!
