Growth–what a difference 6 months makes

Its hard to believe that these skin and bone 1 month old babies (at 3 pounds)

 

Have grown into these chunky monkeys in just 6 months (they are 7 months old here).  Jager is now 15 pounds and Boston 12.

Yay for chubby babies!

The Wheels On The Bus

Jett became obsessed with school busses a while ago and has had the song "wheels on the bus" memorized for a long time. Luckily when we go to Idaho my aunt helps drive the school bus in her town. She stopped by and let the grandkids hop on and check it out. Jett was in heaven.













He loved honking the horn, bouncing on the seats, opening the doors, and waving out the window. He is still crying for that bus. September and school can't come soon enough!

Where I freak out about a pop can

I want to rant a bit, and I figure this is the safest place to do it because, its MY blog. Its not a well hidden secret that I love me some diet coke. It started as regular coke and as I had kids and spend more time at home I find I NEED it to get through the day. More than one constitutes having to drink the diet. Husband decided that “we” need to eat more healthy. That to him means no pop. To me those things are different. I am fine with the food, but don’t ask a mom whose highlight of her day is one little can of pop to give up her can of pop. Not your choice to make buster. So I bought my own box. When husband saw it he flipped and was not happy with me. I told him he made a decision for himself and NOT for me. I am keeping my pop. Cut to last night. I bought a box for myself and hid it. There was one left so I put it in the fridge, in the very bottom drawer, under the lettuce and limes, and went to the cheap movies with my mom. This morning when I woke up there was one diet coke left on the kitchen table with 2 sips taken out of it, luke warm. RUDE! Its not your drink, you are eating “healthy” remember? I find it highly offensive that he would refuse to buy them, get mad that I bought them, then take THE LAST ONE and leave it 3/4 full taunting me. What a waste of precious nectar! So I am spending my afternoon stocking up and hiding my new stash.

Saturday Morning Hospital Dash

5:15 and the roads are completely clear. Probably the fact that it's Saturday too. I wish I was sleeping in too. Baby is sick, hardly sleeps wont stop coughing, won't eat. To children's hospital we go. 6:11 we are here and checked in and in the room. We get better cable than I have at home, catching up on some TLC shows. What is the deal with these gypsy weddings? Craaaaazy. Have I been living in a hole for not knowing there were still gypsys around? The magazines are up to date too. So. Much. Entertainment. How much time do I have? Should I get into a book? 6:17 nurse just came in. She heard he was cute and smiley. She said they all love his name, she said there are 3 families ahead of me and a new doctor just came on. She brought me a refreshing beverage - apple juice! If only they had diet coke and this would be heaven. Minus the sick kid. 7:34 doctor just left the room. Croup. Debating the steroids being extra careful because of his history. He could hardly hear his heart murmur do he thinks the hole is almost closed. 7:59 medicine taken we are good to go. Now if I could just take a nap on this bed. Where's the mint on my pillow... Yawn. I can drive home like this right? Boston is wide awake and suddenly alert. Crazy man. He's been up as long as I have.

Jager & Boston

Phew.  Picture overload.  But aren’t they adorable?  If you need to know who is who LET ME KNOW.


And for old times sake you can check out Jett’s HERE.

Blessings

Mick’s parents came to visit and we blessed the babies while they were here.  It was so nice to have their help with Jett and the boys.  Jett got to go to the pet store and the park with them, and they had great activities to keep him busy.  I also got to take him out a lot while grandparents took care of the babies.  We were so spoiled.  I got to remember what it feels like to get sleep and feel rested!

Saturday is a special day

Taylor swift on my new favorite game, Draw Something

 

We went to see the new Disney Chimpanzee movie and after it was over walked into Old Navy.  They were having an awesome party!  Greyson got his face painted, they colored planes, made crafts, ate cookies and juice boxes, and got prizes and popcorn.  It was such free fun!
