100 %

The babies are now back to being 100% healthy~ Last week Jaysen came down with RSV, we were at the doctors 3xs and ER once. Breathing treatments were even needed! Geez! I'm almost positive that was the sickest any of my babies have ever been.Jesse caught it too but only showed cold-like symptoms of it. When Jesse isn't feeling good he is so whiney. Jaysen on the other hand, he is just all around a good sport about things. Reminds me a lot of the way Alex is.
Playing nurse to the babies was a lot of work! So of course I went ahead and dumped my work out routine and my healthy eating habits!!! GRRRRR!!!!!!!! I haven't been able to jump start my day yet~ But my mind is telling me to do it everyday. So I am half way there ~ Ha!
Awww, this week we have had big sissy home with us. Her and Jesse have been really enjoying one another. It is so awesome to see them together. She just loves the baby too! Such a great big sis! I don't know how long she will be here but I am enjoying each momment with her.
Mando was here too the past week while the kids were sick. We actually got to spend some real one on one this visit. He is soooo ready to come home to stay!!! I can't wait. THis place is going to be a ZOO, but I like it that way!

I feel so very blessed with the life God has given me. I never knew what happiness he had in store for me and I love seeing his plan unfold.

Today life is bliss..............




Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth
empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
hang out the washing and butter the bread,
sew on a button and make up a bed.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.

Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue
(lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
(pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).
The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew
and out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
but I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue?
(lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).

The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,
for children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

On a roll

It is only 10am and I have accomplished so much!!! This is a huge step for me since usually I would just kind of let the time pass me by without getting around to the things I needed to do. THis whole week so far has been full of "up and at ems" mornings. Let's see.... I got up put on a pot of coffee, made my bed, cleaned and disinfected the bathroom, bathed both of the babies, got them ready, fed them, put baby Jaysen down for a nap, put dinner in the crock pot, then made my breakfast and now sitting down at the computes. Blogging is actually one of my chores ya know. Really! I want to do it more often and is a goal of mine to get GOOOD at it. My mom always tells me what a good writer I used to be, I was like "Really?" I don't remember that.

Jaysen ~ this is his first week of having rice cereal in the mornings. So loves it.Last night I tried to give him green beans, which he gagged on. His naps are like 15 minute teasers and he is easily distracted while BFing that is pretty painful for mama.

Jesse~ Last two days I have noticed he hasn't been feeling well. Kinda crabby but not too bad. Actually he is being a good sport about it. He talks so much more everyday it seems. He loves to say "THAT'S NOT NICE!!!" and tells daddy "Come on Daddy" in the sweetest voice ever!!!!

Alex~ He is over this super crush he had a girl recently. Good thing because I was thought he was falling way too hard at his age. He reminds me of his Dad A Lot, but only the good things. this week so far he has remembered to do his homework, but feeding LEEZARD? nOt so good at remembering that.

Today was a great day...

I woke up (without any coffee) and put on my shred DVD!!! I shredded my lil a** off for the twenty minutes, I will admit that I skip the jumping jacks all together. It hurts way too much for this breastfeeding Mama. When I was finished with my workout I was just about to enjoy the rainy day schedule, when I got the text from my Mama. She says "breakfast walk?" and I was like HECK YEA!!!!!! My mom has this awesome espresso machine and boy did I neeeed a coffee!!!Plus, any time I can get out of the house with the boys and spend time with mom I always take it. Love me some mom/daughter time. We arrive at Gramma's right when it starts to pour. We waited til it stopped and packed up for a walk into town. More working out then a healthy breakfast with some window shopping plus two quick runs into the toy store to play with Jesse's favorite train track. On our way home we met up with some heavy down pour!!!! But we were well bundled up and ready with a huge umbrella. So long since I have walked in the rain. ~Walking in the rain with the one(s) I love~ Ahhh. Pleasantly surprised by Daddy getting home early with a special delivery. I have always wanted a spring horse for the boys. I had one as a kid. Yay! One was deserted at a job Daddy was at. We are now the proud owners. It needs alittle overhauling but is in pretty good working order.

p.s. I have the sweetest 5 1/2 month old snuggled in my lap while I blog....wish I could save this momment in a bottle

So here I am.......

So here I am.....My first post. I am new to blogging but I am a quick learner, how hard can it be? My typing sucks so that may trip me up a little.
Tonight I am once again sitting at the computer having my quiet time after lil ones have been put down for the night. It's me at the computer,Hubby playing Call of duty( BIG GAMER) and my Alex zoning out on TV. Nephew hasn't come home yet and has not returned any of my calls....Teenagers!!!
I had a great day though. We had a trip to SB for a Dr appt and lunch date with Daddy at kids world! Yay!!! We loooove it there! And we love Dr. Elstner!!! We also went and visited with Jesse's nina. Haven't seen her in awhile so that was nice. I was exhausted but still managed to whip up another experimental meal which turned out to be a sucess!!!!
