Well I am happy and kind of sad to report the my little monkey has learned to roll over now. He is getting to big too fast and now to top that off my oldest child thinks it's time for him to be able to date at 12...ha ha ha ha ha ha I think not I don't really have a wish to be a grandma by the time I'm 30, Especially not since I think i might consider trying to have 1 more baby lol not sure I wanna have a grand baby at the same time I have another baby lol. My children are growing up way too fast  and I think I need to invent something to stop the growth of children. I'm sure there are thousands of parents that would be thrilled with that lol. Before I know it my little one will be crawling then walking I swear my other 2 children didn't grow this fast I wanted them to hurry up and do everything it seemed like it took forever even though it really didn't but now it seems like everything is going too fast and I want it to slow down a bit. To top t off my parents haven't even seen my new little addition yet they have been on vacation in arizona for 6 months already and now they are coming back in a couple weeks and he's gonna be almost 4 months old. Well i think its time for me to go and enjoy the silence I have right now. 

March 21 2010

Well today started out early as my son had a ski trip to go today and had to be up at 6am....well anyone with a baby knows that is not the easiest task is to wake up in the middle of the night with a baby and then try to get up at 6am also. I accomplished it though (yea me) then i had to wake up yet again at 8am to get my daughter to school...well that one I was a little late for but still accomplished the task at hand. My awesome little monkey man let me have a nap today though thankfully. He has started his jibber jabber baby talk which is absolutely adorable, I bought him a talking mister potato head which he thinks is hilarious and smiles at it all the time but now he has also started talking back to it when you make it talk to him FUNNIEST thing ever. Tonight I found out that he is in love with soccer he laid on the floor in front of the tv for an hour watching soccer and would get mad when commercials would come on. However the one commercial he did like was an irish spring commercial with girls in ( oh boy i'm gonna be trouble with this one and girls). Now at 9:30 at night my son is just finishing his shower then off to bed for the two older children then it's just me and the little monkey till daddy comes home. So today was pretty uneventful (for a change) and kind of peaceful, but i still have Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday this week to lose my hair. On the bright side of things I made the most delicious chicken breast for supper last night....Really it was absolutely amazing...if you would like the recipe just ask you won't regret it. Well tomorrow is another day and I will be back tomorrow night for anyone who is interested.  :)

life as we know it!!!!!!

Well as anyone with kids know life as we know it will never again be the same. I thought when I was 14 that I had my whole life ahead of me and I had no worries and then the 2 blue lines showed up then life as I knew it would never again be the same. Don't get me wrong my son was not a planned pregnancy by any means but I certainly would not change it even if I could. I grew up way too fast after that point, with diaper changes and 2 am feeding I didn't have much of a choice but to grow up really fast. I'm thankful everyday that I had the love and support of my wonderful parents through it all. With growing up I thought i was old enough to move out on my own when I was 16, which seemed like a good idea and worked well for the most part ( minus the boyfriend I had at the time) a years later I saw those 2 blue lines again. This time it was a little more planned as I for some reason thought I was grown up enough to have another baby even though I was only 17 lol. Well this time it was a girl and to begin with I was so excited and happy I would have a little girl to play dress up with and put her into pretty little dresses. Then the oh crap factor set in of it's a little girl and she will get older and she will want boyfriends and I think that's the point where my hair started turning grey and falling out lol. The baby years were great with both of them except my son had colic and wouldn't sleep EVER but i got past that stage and the terrible 2's weren't too bad with him but then my daughter hit the terrible 2's and oooooohhhhhh boy she has red hair and she let EVERYONE around her know it too. It was around that point that I started trying to get pregnant again ( yeah when I read all this myself I starting thinking why was I trying for another lol). Both of my kids started getting older and older and the thought of having another baby kept getting farther and farther away. I was really just starting to get used tot he idea that I had a 12 year old son and a 9 year old daughter and they sure know how to drive me up a wall and back down it most of the time. I had finally gotten a job that i absolutely loved I was working in an auto body shop and no not as a secretary I was a bodyman I took apart cars and fixed them, I loved waking up in the morning to go to work because I enjoyed what I did. We finally decided to give up on trying for another baby I mean after all the 2 I had were older and it had been 8 years since i had my daughter at that point, we decided to be happy with the 2 we had. About 9 months after starting there I found out I was pregnant, at that point it was such a surprise I wasn't sure how to react. Well 9 months later I am blessed with yet another gorgeous wonderful baby boy. So now that he is 3 months old already and everything seems new to me again since it's been so long I decided to start a blog about my life my joys, wonderment's, frustrations and the things that come along with being a parent. Hopefully someone out there will enjoy reading it...maybe 1 person out there lol. So i hope you enjoy what is to come and please feel free to send me any comments questions or stories you might have as I always enjoy hearing other peoples stories as well to know that i'm not alone.

A little about me!!!!!!

I thought I would start by telling you a bit about myself first.  So I'm 27 I am a mother of a wonderful 12 year old son (Brandon) who has ADD and a personality you can't help but love a 9 year old daughter (Elizabeth) who seems to think she is 20 already and now the newest addition a 3 month old little boy(Hayden) who can make the worst day seem like the best with his smile. I'm sure I know what most of you are thinking....After 9 years what possessed me to start all over again and have another baby lol.  Then I'm sure the second thing running through most peoples heads is the math involved in me being 27 and having a 12 year old son lol yes for anyone wondering I was 15 when I had him. I wouldn't change being a mother for the world i love my kids with everything I have. I'm sure that anyone out there that has kids will agree with that, they will drive you crazy and make you lose your hair, but they are still your pride and joy at the end of the day. Well I decided to start a blog about my life with children and maybe somewhere along the way help someone that is having a hard time.
