blogger=wasted effort

I spent tons of time writing a post holiday entry last night uploading pictures from our weekend. I hate seeing it dissapear into nothingness. Not even a back page could save it. Oh well We had fun this weekend despite a cold rearing it's ugly head between chunk and I. He must have had it before me cause he was sniffling. If only we didn't make out I'm sure I wouldn't get sick but when he kisses you trust me you can't resist. Except he always tries to kiss me when he eats and usually has food all over his face. It's too funny. But all that kissing has led to a cold for me which really stinks since I can't take decongestant till I'm farther along. Fun Fun. It's shifted to a sore throat now and I have a nostril free now. I never have both isn't that weird? We had an awesome time at my parents on the Christmas eve eve and eve. Lots of bonding time with chunk and PaPa and Grandma. It was alittle sickening the love fest between Papa and chunk but considering all he's going through mom and I are okay with it now I think. He's the most patient grandpa I swear. He spent an hour letting chunk climb on the lawnmower up and down. He's in the repetitive play stage. I have no patience for it sometimes. Monday we treked to the In-Laws and had a rather crowded time with everyone. Lots of neices and nephews. Some family drama as well as one sister didn't show because she's mad at another sister (rolling my eyes). Mother in Law has adopted a stray cat and I totally was caught off guard. I took shifts in the van to regain some air. My eyes would start itching and get hard to stop sneezing and 5 minutes outside would do the trick. Luckily chunk isn't allergic and had a blast with his cousins. He had fun messing with Papa's television as well. As for number 2 everything is great. I have no morning sickness at all. It's alot better than with chunk. I was having some pretty intense cramping tonight as I was reading to chunk. I hate those it makes you start to worry something might happen.

Playing House

Luckily the hamper was empty when he did this little activity. House full of toys and he does this. It was too funny though cause chunk would go inside and then close the door and say "night night" or "bye see ya." Well for anyone living in outerspace or outside of the rumor mill I am expecting another chunk in August. We are so excited about the news.

christmas tree is up!

Well we had a very good weekend despite some stressors and some new developments. We made a flying trip to see the folks and to hug on my daddy alittle bit and let chunk make my mom jealous by totally adoring PaPa. He did start calling her "Mamla" I thought that was funny and he's still calling her that. It's even cuter cause her name is ---la, Im thinking he combined the words. We took chunk to sit on Santa's Lap. Let me just say they need to hire a santa over the age of 30 at least...good greif. I know he is an immortal character but please. He didn't even talk to the kids and say ho ho ho...Crappy Santa. Chunk barely held in his cry...but he seemed to hold up and get through the torture. More pictures are of chunk with his new pose (wearing our christmas stockings lol). If you say "show me your butt" he does that pose. Helping Daddy hang the ornaments and the star. Lastly leaving the super young santa's village, looking so pretty as only a mother can say.  

first snow!

Well technically it's not the first snow that has fallen in his life he was born in January after all. He kinda enjoyed it. I'm not too certain on anything. I think he had more trouble playing and wanted to go to the park even more than normal.  

We are a PaPa Loving family

 

roadtrip fun

our trip

We ended up going to DH's sister's wedding afterall. The ice and snow wasn't as bad as everyone was saying. By Saturday that is. We loaded up that morning and drove out there. Minus the whole getting lost thing it was a fun time. We were in the lead car, yet the in-laws had the map... We went 30 minutes the wrong way and our destination was 10 minutes from our wrong turn. We had my niece in the car with us so her mom was pretty antsy since she had to get ready for the wedding. We finally got there and booked it up to the wedding chapel. This included everyone thinking we are lost and at every inn and cottage saying "that's it" or "we passed it" "we went way too far" etc. All the while Im on the phone talking to them every five minutes. That's what getting lost will do it ruins your confidence in listening to others I guess. Needless to say there was champagne. That night We got no sleep at all as we found out chunk can hurdle himself out of the portable crib. we would be laying there then suddenly "pat pat pat pat" hi dadda! Juice! Hi Momma! (jumping on bed). Then he was sleeping away and we needed to eat breakfast with everyone. I turned on the t.v. turned on all the lights, nothing he wouldn't wake up. We had to start talking to him...I wish I could sleep through him the night before. Oh and he loves his cousin. When she would leave he would cry. When she would come back he would smile and say "da." Last night after we made it home he started crying for Da. He finally said her name sort of but he really loves her. She came outside from the restaraunt Sunday morning and he laid a big kiss on her and rubbed noses. It was really cute. Chunk also got to spend more time with his grandma and grandpa and his obsession with "pa pa" is doubled now. He doesn't say memaw or nanna...nothing. All he talks about is papa. We were in a store yesterday that had a cardboard cutout of clint eastwood and chunk kept saying "see papa" lol.

Stacy & Tim's Wedding

I play even when I'm sick

Today we went outside even though I've had a terrible cold and cough and chunk is getting. I was in the process of posting this blog during his naptime when he was coughing, and couldn't catch his breath. It was very scary cause at one point he choked and was limp. I threw him in the bathroom and turned on the hot shower. Im happy I got him a vaporizor last night. Needless to say we have had no nap today. We got into see the dr who gave him some steroids and told me that it'll be the worst night tonight. So I may need to just sleep with him I'm not sure. I do know that it takes a strong mommy to take care of a sick kid, so pray for this sick exhausted mommy. I hate getting sick.  

Popcorn boys

this is a nightly ritual lately. They are my popcorn boys. Chunk now says "pop, daddy?" He knows that popcorn is something he and daddy do together.

im never bored over here!

Friday night we took Logan out to eat fajitas. We are having a mexican food breakdown of sorts over here. I think i've had it for three days straight. I am trying to diet (ha ha ha!). So I had a meltdown. Working out every day and dieting or trying to ...i had to revolt. But you gotta love the fact that the three of us can eat one order of fajitas. The chunkster loves onions. He likes to grab them off the plate. It's alittle weird to have a baby with onion breath but oh well. Immunity is always up around here. Saturday we hung out and rearranged the furniture only to find that it only can exist one way in our house. So, I will have to punish chunk more when he gets on the couch. Since he fell off the back of the couch/windowsill onto the floor headfirst saturday and i saw the neck bend..thinking..."where's my phone.....hmmmm...oh whew..he's up...okay it's all good." Oh and chunk gave me fish kisses..gotta love it... We had a good day at church today too. We participated in Samaritans purse and sent a box to a kid in africa I think. Not too sure at this point. But we came home to take a three hour nap. It was awesome. Actually Steve's was longer...He actually was asleep when I was trying to get L down. This week is a short one and I hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving.

the last days of summer?

Since It has been mid to high 80's the last few days, it was ideal to let chunk run around and get all his energy out. Yeah right. He played so hard yesterday and me too for that matter. Im alittle exhausted. My back was sore last night and it has turned into a headache. I hate starting the day out that way. Chunk had fun yesterday with his girlfriends. He tends to move from one area to another pretty quickly and the girls would follow him and then he'd move back it was pretty tiring. Age limits do not apply to us as well. He and I ventured on top of the oil derrick tower and went down the spiral slide several times. A cold front is a perfect excuse to stay inside today and rest. here's more pictures from yesterday to browse...

weekend happenings.

Not much to report on the homefront except we went to see my parents this weekend to leave dh to study for his test. Chunk ran a fever the day after sitting in a wal-mart cart. Even with my germ-x wipe down he still got something again...gonna have to ban carts. I have a cover but he always finds an exposed place and touches it. So I didn't get to see my friends new baby. Guess it'll wait. we celebrated my grandmother's 76th birthday however. It was nice to see all the family minus a few who were missed. Seemed like my folks had alot to do though since their church was officially in their new building they were all rushing around and busy in preparation for it. It looked nice. Here are some pictures from the weekend. Thanks cousin Barry for the copies. Where would I be without other people's cameras? Chunk had a blast playing with Connor and Ashton. He can play with older and younger so it's really fun for him.

Elmos first Trick or Treat

Well chunk had alot of fun tonight. We were going to drive to another neighborhood and decided just to stay close. We hit around 10 houses. He had no clue what to do. He finally liked holding his bag but left it at two or three houses. One Lady said "hey she left her bag". Several people called him a girl tonight. I guess he's pretty and that's fine. One old man said "well what are you a little peckerwood?" The men that gave us candy said "well lookie there it's ernie, or fill in the blank with everyone but elmo.

Muha ha ha Happy Halloween!

Halloween!

I am so tired from the pumpkin patch yesterday. Just exhausted. I have some pictures and I have more coming since my friend took 200, and the other friend was camera happy as well. With chunk I have to run. I don't have a chance alot of times for pictures Im either chasing or distracting these days. Heres the link to the web album since Blogger will only let you do 4.

halloween pumpkins

So today I am awake and blogging then we are going to veg out a few hours. Coffee is the first order of the day. Today I have to carve two jackolanterns so I can have more, but still an odd number lol. Tonight we are going to take Logan to a church trunk or treat and a neighborhood near us that has trick or treaters. I was going to post the pictures but blogger was being nutty....

awwww...

This is what happens when he sits still. This morning I wake up to "mamma" at 6:45. Well at 10:30 he is pooped. So he had an early nap today. He was watching "Pice" or Price is Right (his favorite). 

first pumpkin carving

Okay so I technically did it as he looked at it through the safety gate but still...It's supposed to be a dog...but it looks different...oh well.. Sunday we will do one more. Not much around here except chunk is putting himself to bed. He points to the crib and says "yeah okay" and I put him in...he points to the light and says "yeah okay." He pulls the covers on him and lays his head down on the pillow. It's crazy. No fight, no crying. Maybe all the big boy talk has sunken in. It made me alittle sad to tell you the truth. Also I was ignoring him for a minute or two and he had gone to his room and shut the door. I walked in and he was eating the desitin. So before wiping the outside and inside of his mouth I remembered to take a picture. Last time i called poison control. They said the biggest hazzard is choking if they vomit. So I just let time pass this time. It must taste good cause he always says "mm hmmm" lol.
