9 months of craziness at my house!!!

Hey hey! Long time no blog. but at least I have pictures!!!! The first one is my ultimate favorite on my kiddos.





Things that has been happening or will happen!

We have decided to put Mason into dancing starting in August. I know I can teach her, but I'd rather her have the socialization with kids her age. At that age, that's what dancing is all about. I made some good friends from dancing, and I still talk to a few of them. :D So I'm going register her in the next two weeks!!! Myself, as a dancer, is jumping with glee for this day.

I took Mason to the movies to watch Up! She did well until the "real sound" came on. If you have been to the movies, you understand. I had her calmed down to watch the Ice Age 3 trailer, and well after that she lost her marbles. so at least I got my money back.

JJ is into EVERYTHING!!!! I didn't have to worry about Mason getting into anything at his age. She was like a "whatever" kid. JJ is more the curious getting into everything kind of kid. He also goes after the pets. I just saw Ty on his back around JJ. If you know my cat, you know he hates having his belly rubbed. Yes, he is the devil spawn. But the things my kid does to the dog and cat, makes me realize the decision about my other dog was the best thing for that dog. He would of bite the beejeezus out of both of my kids.

Orange Beach 2009

Hey everyone!!!! I will update with loads of pictures! they are at the bottom of the novel.

thursday (night before): I pack, and pack, and do ALL the laundry. YAY!!!! wait it gets better... we set the alarm clock for 4AM

the news we want to tell you, it's not official yet. Some of ya'll know (mainly the g'parents) but I don't want to jinx it so we will wait til it's official.

Friday on the road: alarm does not go off, but we get up at 5:30. so 30 minutes to hurry up and get everything in the car, pack the everyday necessities, and get on the road. we pack everything, but LEAVE most of the stuff at home. cuz I am a genius. so I'm also thinking i-10 goes ALL the way, but it changes to Hwy 90 and we ended up in westwego on the west bank of new orleans. wow...we got lost. but we ended up at the beach..just an hour later than normal. Well, we put a pull-up on for the trip. She didn't potty on herself, she waited til the rest stops. YAY!!! she's officially potty trained. except for night, but that I will wait on. so we drive, drive, and yes drive. we get to Orange Beach at 12.

Friday in Orange Beach: Remember we forgot things at the house, like normal things and our phone charger! I ordered one off of ebay, and it didn't work. so they sent a replacement, and it didn't get to us til friday or saturday. don't know, wasn't home. I went to CVS,and no go. we have a "new" phone I would say. but we went to the beach, then to the hotel, and went back to the beach. pictures below!!! So we drove to Gulf Shores to get a car charger, because our phones were dead. We let her watch TV on them on the way there. She had tons of fun, went to sleep at 5PM and woke up at 7AM!

Saturday: we walked the beach (no pictures, but will upload them from my phone), and then let her swim in the pool. Ok did ya'll watch caddy shack with bill murray? (do not get ahead of me). You know the baby ruth incident? Yea we almost had that accident, via no baby ruth but the real stuff. Good thing it stayed in her bathing suit. that was the "lets go home" incident. I love her. we had fun...tons of fun!

look below at pictures

JJ's doctors appointment and news!!

Updating from my phone again!

JJ weighs 18 1/2 lbs. and is 28 inches long for his 8 month appointment. He is doing well. He is cruising around furniture.

The Miller family is making a last minute trip to orange beach thanks to pappy!!! yay! first beach trip and I will blog while Im down there. We may have more news by the end of the week. But thats all I will say at this point. bye for now!!

I can update from my phone!

Hey guys! I can update more now.

Mason is speaking better now. we can now almost hold conversations with her.

I am taking JJ to the doctor tomorrow for his 8 month appointment. So I will update this again tomorrow.

funny story time!!!

Mason grabs my deodorant
Daddy: why you have mom's deodorant?
Mason: I stinky!

JJ at IHOP with Uncle Trent and the family. There is a girl close to his age. So he turns towards her and starts smiling. After that started blowing kisses at her!! I guess like father like son!!

First Words

Well, should I say word?

Well, JJ said his first word today. I was doing something for my business, and all I heard was crying then DADA!!!! Yes, my little boy said dada. I thought I was hearing things. So I went to the PO to drop off a few packages, and while daddy was watching him, he said "dada". so in other words, I'm not going crazy. That's always good right?

We bought Mason a new bedspread of mickey mouse clubhouse. she's slept in her room all night maybe once since last week. and well, I tried the whole let me and JJ sleep in her room. and well, when I leave one child, the other one cries, and it starts to be a really bad domino effect. (would it be considered that?) so Webb had to help, and we just caved and let her sleep with us.
but my genius self forgot to put Mason on a pull-up. I deserve a big pat on the back, b/c I had to wash our sheets. She didn't go until later that night. Some days she wakes up wet, and some days she wakes up dry.

This is how smart Mason is. whenever she gets a bo-bo, she gets some cream on it, band-aid, and some medicine. I went to close it w/o giving her medicine b/c it wasn't a big scrape like her last knee gash she had 2 weeks ago. she wanted her medicine.

well Im going to be a good mommy and order Pizza! Well I don't think I blogged about Mason's LOVE for Pizza. if she could marry pizza, she would. I ordered pizza one day b/c I needed my dr. pepper fix. no i'm not lieing either. and while eating pizza, she said "Mmmmmm pizza good". like her whole being was put into that saying. then when the UPS mans come with my packages, she'll say "pizza!" sad...I know, but she loves pizza.

so now her diet consist of pizza, cheese, chicken nuggets, and fries

wow huh???? gotta love having a picky 2 1/2 year old.

well we hit that mark!!!

rocking on his knees!!!

Mason took this one of him a few weeks ago....

HAPPY 6 MONTHS TO JJ!!!!!

I should be doing another blog this week.....but this one is dedicated to JJ!!!!!

Now it's Time!

Since I have now have a laptop, I have no excuse to neglect this journal again. When I start, someone tell me something.

Mason is doing well. Her potty training is still doing very well. She still has accidents but not as bad. We need to teach her to go potty with her pants on. She gets confused. Her speech is getting so much better. She is starting 2 syllable words.

John is sitting up somewhat, rolling over, trying out how loud he can really be, and on his way to be crawling already. In 2 weeks, JJ will be 6 months old! How fast does pass by, especially when having 2.
JJ is screaming his head off, so I have to go
