Who's a Big Boy Now?

I am so proud of my little buddy Logan!!! Just like everything else this kid has done cold turkey in his life, Nursing, Pacifiers, Big Boy Beds! He's decided to potty train himself. He's been wearing big boy underware for about 2 1/2 weeks now! I'm so excited, I don't even know what started it! I think I made a really big deal of it when he wen't #2 in the potty one day (just like usual!) Then, the next thing I know, we're in Target and he's telling me "I have to go potty mommy!" We didn't hesitate, we ran for the potty. Mommy even made a big deal right there in the store! I'm so proud of my little mister! He's even been wearing his big boy underware to bed! and being dry in the morning! For Christmas, he even got some Spiderman undies that he picked out, from Nana! He was just tickled! Way to go Logan, I'm so proud of you! (phew, little tear going there! *sigh, I've turned into my mother*)

Snow, Christmas and more!

All right, I hate uploading pictures onto here cause it takes forever and a day. Then you get it all on here and you have to edit, edit, edit. ARGH. Well, here are some pictures that were in the camera!
Our Christmas lights outside the house. Yes, there are several out and not all the lights are on. heheee

I thought these pictures were gorgeous.

It's like the memories you have as a child, well me anyway cause I'm weird like that, of how cool the snow looks ontop of Christmas Lights.

this icicle hanging on the side of the house was about 3-4 feet long and about 3 inches around. Before it broke off today it was almost to the ground and about 6 inches around.

The snow around our house right after we had that 18 inches of snow over night!!

Our bush outfront of our window covered in snow.

My mantle this year with 4 stockings instead of 3. Micah's is off to the right out of the picture. Whoops.

Cute little crochetted animals that I've been working on. This is a turtle obviously
And this was my first one, a little octopus. I made him on Thanksgiving with my sister's in law who also love to crochet, we went yarn store hopping and found this CUTE book on amigurumi animals. I can't wait to make all of them!

An Important Message This Time Of Year

Ok, I hate trying to put stupid movies on here. Does anyone know an easier way to post youtube videos on your blog? For some reason I can't copy that whole embed thing, and I'm not going to try and code the darn thing! But, what I had was that this video is terrific. My mother sends it out every year and it's got an important message for us. As they say, out of the mouths of babes! This little 12 year old boy has a wisdom that few possess at that age and it's far beyond his little years. I hope that this touches your heart like it does mine, every time I listen to it. Be forwarned, get out some Kleenex!

Logan the Sky Angel Cowboy

Get Ready! Big Update!

All right, well now that I'm on a different computer, one that has a USB port and a memory card slot, I can finally upload some pictures and such! So, be patient, here it goes!



Man, that stinking movie took ten years to upload. Micah's was relatively small. But took quite a while. I was going to upload another one, but thought I might witness flying cars before it loaded so I gave up. Here are a couple of pictures. Some from Micah's birth and so on I'll put captions next to them and everything so you know what's what.

Me in the hospital with my little friend Micah. Man, that was not that long ago, I can't believe he's already 3 months!!!

I love this picture of Micah. He looks so tiny and like Logan. I love the little outfits with the hats that have ears. This is probably the day he either got his picture taken or the day we went home.

This is us on the day that we went home. Boy were the emotions running wild that day. Isn't that how it always is with post partum?

Micah in his swing. He was so tiny, I just can't get over it. I don't know what's going on with these stupid captions. But I'm done fooling around with this thing, so I'll take em where I can get em!

This is just Logan being Logan. I love that kid, he's so funny!

Logan, His friend Radar and his Grandma all asleep at Forrest's sister Michelle's house. We went for Thanksgiving. Over to Seattle then down to Portland, that was so much fun!

Forrest, this is the hairiest I've ever seen him. His head, his face! Mountain Man For-J, Wahooo!

I love this picture of my boys. They're so cute. Logan is such a loving brother and Micah for the most part just lays there and takes it. They're so mellow, I just know that when I get my girl or 3rd child they're going to be the one that just is a firecracker. *goes to knock on some wood, real hard*

My cute, precious little Micah is really smiling now, he's starting to laugh now, and he's been trying to sit up! He's 3 months!!! When you put him in his seat or down, he lifts his upper body up off of what ever he's laying on!

See, this is the cuteness that I get to look forward too!

And yes, I am the sick freak that ordered all this snow. I love it. I didn't get to take any pictures of it yet, I took some video, but it took forever and ten years to upload so I said forget this and cancelled it! Like seriously, it took longer than an hour. Ridiculous or what? I'll go and take some pictures and upload them tomorrow!

Oh the weather outside is frightful!

yes, I'm one of those sick people in love with the snow. I'm just delighted and tickled pink that it's been coming down all day and hasnt' let up! I LOVE IT!!! wahooo, keep going!
I took the boys to Target today and found an outfit for Logan that we MUST have, we'll be talking daddy into buying it. I tried just the jacket on him and about 4 women were gasping and oohing and aahhhing at him. we MUST have it.
another thing on the Logan front. He's told me twice today that he had to go potty. Once while we were at home he told me he had to poo poo and he went and sat on the toilet, of course I sweetened the deal with 2 hershey's kisses. One for telling me he had to go, and one for going. Then, while we were in Target he said, "no pee pee in my pants mommy, I promise." so I asked him if he had to go potty and he said yes. So I told him to hold it and we'd run to the potty. He was dry and he went in the potty, alot! so I let him pick out a treat at the store. Dare I hope this is the beginning of awesome potty training for him?

Loganism's

Ok, here are a few of the funny things Logan has said this week:

I was on my way out the door with Renee the other night, going to get stuff for GNO. Logan is in bed.
"Stay here mommy, take off your coat. It's time for bed, take off your clothes. It's time for bed."
ok, ya'll this isn't as bad as it sounds, I sleep in my undies.

On the way home from the Dr.s office today,
"no go home right now mommy. Got to the dr.s office."
"Why do we need to go to the dr's office, Logan?"
"Micah's penis is hurt mommy."
"What?!?!" Between controlled giggles
"Micah's penis is hurting."
"oh, ok, I think he'll be ok Logan."

and last but not least,
Trying to get him to come do something for me,
"I can't mommy, I hafa to go to school."

A little distressed.

Well, I'm just gunna put this out there. I'm massively sensitive about it. I'm losing a ton of hair. I'm trying not to cry right now. sorry. I don't know what it is, but everytime I brush my hair lately I get these huge clumps of hair that come out. It's really distressing. I know when you have a baby you don't lose hair for 9 months and then when you have the baby you start losing hair. But my goodness, I don't think you're supposed to lose this much! I don't know what to do. I don't wanna go bald!!!! I have an appointment with the dr on friday.

Ok, Ok, I love you too.

Lol, Ok, so I see that some people do indeed read my blog. Sorry to be a pissy whiner. (how ever you spell whiner.) I just wasn't sure if my posting was even doing any good or if I was just talking to hear myself talk. LOL. Ok, so I'll try and post some pictures on here, but unfortunately, our computer doesn't have a card reader for some unknown reason. Forrest needs to put one in. So, posting pictures is a little difficult and labor intensive for me.
Well, it's my favorite time of year again, I think that I've been doing the snow dance for weeks now to no avail. Yes, I know I'm one of those sick people who loves winter. It seems like the older I get the less I find Christmas fun. I mean, I still find it fun, but it seems as though a little more and more of the magic I felt as a child seems to be fading. I know that just means I'm getting older. But, I miss that feeling. The giddiness of it all. I think now that we have our own kids it may get a little better. Now that Logan's at the age where he can start appreciating all of it, I may get some of it back. I'm anxious to experience Christmas through my children's eyes. I know that now, I get to help them make those memories that I have. The kind where you look back and sigh and think just how exciting and ivigorating it used to be. I'm a little sad though, this Christmas isn't going to be that wonderful for us with all the bills we have. Medical, house, bills. yadda yadda. I know that Christmas is more than just the presents, but it doesn't stop me wanting to make it nice for the kids. But, you do what you can do right?
I feel like I want to get all crafty and such, man, am I feeling that bug!!!! I want to quilt and bake, but alas, if I were to bake I can't eat all the goodies I want. Curse you (LOVE YOU ) Weight Watchers!!!

all right, that's it for me for now.

Boring Blogger

Well, this is a gripe post! I swear I don't think anyone even reads my blog. I must just be the most boring person in the world. I feel so unloved...lol.
