A Loom you say.....

On one of the message boards I am on they kept bring up this Knifty Knitter loom thing, at 1st I had no clue what they were talking about this is a photography board I am on and they are talking about this thing..lol Anyways the more I saw photos of projects the more I was intrigued (since I have forgotten how to knit myself) but the penny pincher that I am (other then photography stuff :) ) I did not want to pay the 29.00 for it. One day I was at Value Village (A thirht store and the Loom set was right there for $3.00 could not pass that up it came with 4 loom circles different sizes and a hook with instructions. So I tried it out the other night and it was pretty easy:







now to find different yarn and try a different pattern...then all I need is a baby to photograph

Oh Baby

all looks great! Nuchal scan went great chances of anything wrong are 1 in 1047 AWESOME!

Baby was moving and actually measures bigger then the 13w2d baby measures a week ahead.

The boys were watching the u/s and at 1st Lil O said that it looked scary and he did not like it...lol Ri was to concerned at what the lady was doing on my tummy, Gramma and Grandpa were in the room to.

My apt was for 1:30 I got there and sat and waited as usual then they called my name and some other took us into a little room to explain the Nuchal scan then we had to go back and sit in the waiting room for the blood test. Waited another 20min till I had my name called for the blood draw then back to the waiting room and waited forever.....name was called again and the scan was great...guess what back to the waiting room for the results, by this time is was 3:10pm. 3:30 rolls around and no results yet I still had to go back to the fertility clinic and the closed at 4pm. I asked the girl at the desk if it would be much longer and that is when my name was called she took me back to go over everything again (2nd time a Dr already came into the u/s room) gave me the papers and I rushed over to the clinic to see Dr S...I get there and guess what we waited again...lol.

Dr S calls me in and as I was walking with the boys all the nurses were admiring there big brown eyes and all. Dr S said as we sat down that I still amaze and surprise them all and goes over the results... She also said that if I wanted to do the amnio sine I am over 35 now I can and they do them around 15-18weeks...I don't think I want to do this since the odds are on my side.

Nuchal translucency ultrasound

today to see if baby is healthy and ok, I feel a little nervous this time around. Things seem to be going to well, you know when going through multiple losses and infertility and then when something goes the way it should...just does not feel right..call me strange...I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop (I know I have wrote this before)

I am 13w 2d, I find the baby with my Doppler no problem. I still need to take belly shots maybe if I get home at a decent time I will take some. Appointment is a 1:30pm my mum and Barry are coming with they like seeing the u/s.

Wow

Facebook is something else I tell ya.

I had an ex-boyfriend find me and requested friendship and when I saw this...well some emotions popped up because you see this relationship ended badly police were called and he was taken away and I never saw him again till a few years later (I was 16yrs old). I came across him at his work but we never spoke to one another (I was still a bit angry and scared, not to mention the relationship I was in at that moment was not the greatest either...that's another story) I did not see or hear from him again till a few weeks ago when he requested to be friends on FB. I hummed and hawed but then thought it was many years ago we were young and well forgiveness is a powerful thing, so I accepted his friendship. We shared a couple of messages on how our lives are but never mentioned what happened that night. Till last night he sent me a message asking why did I accept him as a friend..... good question...

I wrote:
"Well to be honest I did think about it 1st before I accepted you as a friend, After thinking about it you really were not that bad it was just at the end of it all that things went sour. We were young and well I have grown past it all and hope you have too."

He responded back by saying he was sorry for what transpired that night. he has been regretting it for years and wishing for the chance to say sorry. He was happy for how my life is now and thanked me for the time we did share.

I was taken back almost to tears it is amazing even 20yrs after what happened.

I responded with a thank you.

Must be nice

to have a day off so to speak and hide away from the wife and kids!

He truly does not understand that I too would/need a break and not just to go upstairs and put laundry away...I need out I need a me time. My hormones are all messed up right now I cry at the drop of a pin or just plain moody and well then he gets all mad and ignores me which in turn the kids too. Do I have to keep asking for help or a break? It is tiring especially when It still does not happen for me... are men just that dense to it all?

well that is it my pity party is over. I'll suck it up and go on as I normally do.

Well now

It has been a few days since I last posted here, to many computer stuff I tell ya...between Facebook and a few other message board I belong to one always seem to fall behind....and why is facebook so addicting?

Anyways.......

My Ri guy is now 2yrs old he is not so much a baby anymore. We did not have a big party just some family came over and had cake...Oh guess the cake was for me too since I am a yr older now ..lol

My pg s going well I feel ill and oh so tired with this one I can not seem to get anything done around here...I am slacking big time.

I am trying to go through my photo of 2008 so I can make a photo book man I took a lot of photos. Then I can not decide which photos to put on my photo wall I have (It is 12x12 frame I have 9 of them, 3 down and 3 across)

I have not really touched my camera much lately just feeling tire and blah and this weather sucks I am so tired of the snow does it not know it is SPRING now!

How sweet it is

heard a little thump thump thump on my Doppler last night.... what a sweet sound.

ABC

Today I thought about ABC with Lil O and when I sang out ABCD...(I paused) and he sang the rest my jaw hit the floor.......when did he learn this????

U/S went great

9w2d

baby is doing well measures 9w2d ( I wrote the wrong weeks last post so I changed it)



I had to take the boys with me and they made me so proud. Ri started to cry a little when the u/s tech put the probe on my belly but settled pretty quick, lil O just stood at the end of the table and watched never made a peep.

Had to go to the fertility clinic right after (just down the hall) and again they were really good in the waiting area. As the nurse called my name another patient said my name and I paused and looked at her she said her name the then place we worked at together, I then remembered her and sad that she was still having a hard time ttc...I told her not to loose hope.. she said yes I see that and looked at my boys.
While waiting for the Dr to come in Lil O asked what the funny looking table was that had things sticking out of it (the stirups on the table) I said that is where some get a check up. Then Dr W walked in and Lil O looked at him and said "I don't want a check up" I lol and said no this is mummys check up the table is not needed today. Dr W chuckled.

My next u/s is the the nuchal translucency on Apr 8.

After wards I took the boys to a play area since they were so good.

What can I say

I am so flipping tired, this pg has me so drained....and to eat that is a chore but I get food down.

I am about 9w2d today go for another u/s on Wed to see how the weeOne is doing. I still am amazed that I am pg, I can not get over it and then I start thinking wow 3 kids wow..lol. I am still very nervous too I am waiting for something to happen something always happens so what is it going to be this time....I am just waiting.......

in other news we got a contracter in to do out basement (a little over half is on barter) they started on Dec 10th, what is all to be done is:
Paint the main area and trim put up the drop celine.
Drywall the spare bedroom/office, paint , trim and drop celing.
put in a 3 peice bathroom

well today is March 9 and the painting was done in the 1st 2wks, painter and contracter are 2 different guys (painter gets the job done when he said he would)
the other guy well not sure about him..lol. He 1st said that it would all be done at the end of Jan (even signed a contract with dh) well that came and went then he asked if it could be extended till end of Feb.....see where I am going...end of Feb came and went and he is not done has not even said anything. He had his trailer of tools parked on our drive way for the longest time, I have often wandered what he was doing if his trailer is here and he is working else where (unless he has more trailers) He has not showed up today yet was not here Friday. The job is slowly getting done slowly and all I can say is I hope it is done by the time the weather is nice, so we can use the basement. As for reference he won't be getting one from us...just too many ecusses and does not show up when he says he will be here.

Had u/s

On Wednesday and we are measuring 7w4d hb 147




I get there 10min late (could not find a parking space) and they have me sit for almost another 10 and then they inform me that they want to go for lunch can I come back at one....WHAT! Why could they not say this when I walked in ant 2 I have to now see if it is ok with the fertility clinic (they are down the hall) if I come at one now, since I am to see then right after the u/s.
Clinic was fine but I did say the the u/s place everyone here takes there lunch at the same time? I was not a happy camper lets say. Good thing a mall is near buy. I went and bought Lil O some swim trunks and found distilled water for the steam mop I just bought.

whoot whoot

**** We have a baby in the uterus with a wonderful heart beating away.

Still not really out of the woods but so far all looks great, I have to go back for another u/s to determine how far along I really am but the Dr is thinking around 7wks...I am really pg... seeing that heart beating just had me in awe.

When the Dr Scott walked in she looked at me and said "You sure like to deify all odds don't you...lol"


I went to the clinic for 1:10pm and did not see her till 2pm I was to be at the hospital for 2pm. Got to the Hosp at 2:45 and my IVIG was not ready...oh what a surprise... so finally was hooked and and running at 3:30pm done at 5:30.


What a day!

Got the call from the Clinic

Nurse Amanda said they received my 1st numbers and they are at 16,000 so somewhere between 6 and 8weeks...(I am thinking 6weeks) I go in to the clinic for a quick u/s just so they can make sure of the measurements and that baby is where is should be and hopefully see a heart beat.

I had to tell mum yesterday because she called and asked if she could get rid of that highchair since Ri sits nicely now, I was like umm ah well...I did not want to say anything just yet but you may want to keep it for a bit longer...apparently I am pg, we are just waiting on my beta #'s. I told her not to say a word to anyone.

I called mum this morning to see if she a papaBear could watch the boys tomorrow while I go to the clinic and then to my IVIG, she said she had to tell PapaBear I said well I ecpected that..lol she said he got all teary eyed.

I feel nauseaus this morning

BLahhhhh

I feel ill.....but that is a good thing I take it.. :)

Went for my 1st beta blood draw go again tomorrow since I could not go today, Family Day and all. I have avoided talking with family...lol

I am still shocked, I am afraid to believe it

Man I thought I'd play cool

with this one but Nooooooo....the obsessing has started, Doing the TP check and I wonder about every little twitch or pain I get now, I also find myself poking at my breast so see if the are getting sore....umm yeah that will do it.....And man do I hate to sneeze!

Oops loosing it already....

I forgot to mention that when I put the boys down for there nap I normally put Lil O's diaper back on (he only has it on when he sleeps) well being so preoccupied I forgot... well he slept 2hrs without incident, he woke calling out to me that he went in his pants. I went in to get him and he would not walk, he was walking bull legged, I asked what he was doing he said he went in his pants (I am thinking yeah so why walk funny) then it dawned on me he did not have a diaper on so I felt his butt if there was bulk nope none just his boxers...then I heard him say oh poop poo so I hurried him to the potty he was all upset that he started to go in his pants I said it is ok I am sorry momma forgot his response "yeah mommy bad you forgot"... it all went where is was to go...in the potty.

I am so proud of my boy.

He is also really starting to use his imagination a lot, today he was stomping around and he announced that he was a giant as he stomped and marched around repeating I am a giant, here I come......

Poking starts tomorrow.

The nurse called me back from the fertility clinic and said to start my beta test on Saturday and then Tuesday (since Monday is a Holiday) a little longer then the 48hrs they like but it will still let them see if my levels are rising. Also IVIG will start next week, good thing I have a few books I need to read. Depending on my #'s it will decide if I need an u/s sooner then later, since I don't have a clue as to how far along I am...Last af was Dec 19.

The nurse laughed when I told her that I figured I should call them after the 4th test. She said it makes her smile when she is told this, since the 1st one already says you pg...lol so from the looks of it I could have a new one in my arms between Sept to Nov sometime if I go full term or not and if everything go well...

I still can not believe it. Dh bets on how long I can keep it a secret I said till at least after my 1st appointment.

---

I told dh

and asked him to bring home another test...lol...(yes I need to POAS a few times) This mornings was a little darker....why can I not still believe this.

When I mentioned it to dh he got a little excited and said oh so a girl could be in our future?

---

Here is proof my boys do love each other...they make my heart swell


Good think Lil O was wearing the helmet for fun because after I took this shot they tripped and he fell and hit the stove with his head...helmet worked..lol

still hmmmm

Well took another pg test and it was BFP
dare I post a photo of this.
Cyber world is the 1st to know....I have not told hubby nor my family yet, don't want to get them all excited if it turns out to be nothing. Just when I was getting use to the idea of being told I had a slim to nill chance of having another baby this happens.

Hmmm

Can pre-menopause cause a false positive? I am going to take another test in the morning see what I get, I am so dang confused right now.

I am going crazy

or at least I feel like it...

this so called pre-menopause is kicking my butt.

I feel so emotional, my temper is quick then I feel like crying and then I am fine.... I am so hot I want to rip my clothes off then the next minute I have the chills....I don't feel like BD'ing at all let alone touching me (I know he does not understand, he thinks pms is not real....I have/had bad pms too) Af is late 3wks so a part of me wonders is this pms but then I get the hotflashes. I want a hug but then if I get it I know I will start to cry, on top off all that my pap was abnormal so I now have to wait (and dh is worried about it) I seem to have an ache/pain all the time, when one goes another comes....... I just feel like I can't win at the moment

there got it out...

Ahh

Sure do not get much done when the kids are sick and the weather not so great.... Glad to say the kids are better and the weather is refreshing.... we went and played outside in the snow yesterday. My oldest had fun the youngest he still was not so sure of the white cold wet stuff.




---

Last night as Lil O was eating supper he was flipping through the paper and I said to him O finish up your supper please. His response " I'm trying to read the page mom..."

I need out....

2weeks straight at home...oye.

2 sick kids one right after the other....we need out....

Ri is better now Lil O is on the mend pretty much there, if not tomorrow we will get out on Wed...I hope.

They sure are too very different sick kids.

-----

I just finished reading Marley and Me it was not to bad did get a couple chuckles out of it and I did cry at the end. It took a few chapters for me to get into it though.

Appointment made...and other stuff

On May 6th I go for the colposcopy, now we wait.

For some strange reason I was thinking yesterday was Tuesday man thoses kind of days mess you up...lol

Ri has not being feeling well he was throwing up then it started to come out of the bottom ... what a mess. But I will say I think I prefer it coming from the bottom, yes it is mess and a stinky gaggy mess but yet it is more controlled then it coming out of the mouth....I still gag with that to.

Lil O is doing awesome with the potty even went #2 yesterday in it, scared him but he did it no less (potty training is not as bad as I 1st thought it would be)

Lets go......Potty

Yes we have entered into potty land. Lil O has gone potty before in the past but mummy here has been a little lazy I will admit, I get caught up in other things and forget about the potty time. For the last 3 days I have been faithful taking lil O to the potty every 20-30min and he is kind of getting it. As he asks to go potty that is when he is peeing so not quiet there yet.. lol When wets his pants I get him to take them off himself (he does not like that much) I tell him if he peepees in his pants he has to take them off and ofcourse that means touching all the wetness...he is like eweww yuck momma...I respond with, well then pee in the potty...lol When he pees in the potty he gets a sticker of his choice and proudly wears it... :)

Ri likes to copy him and sits on the other potty but he is fully clothed, freaks out some when I get him to sit on it without the diaper....I will take that as him not being quiet ready yet.

Fender bender

Finally had one while the boys were with me, everyone seems ok at the moment. I saw her coming and I only hoped I would not be bumped into the pedestrian walking with her baby. Who by the way just kept on walking....

Time for another selfportrait

Had to do a photo for a challenge so I did a quick one today:

and this one I was almost clocked with a toy....ah little boys sem to think it is funny to see momma on the floor.

And so it begins.....

Today I was talking with Lil O and Ri when I hear Lil O burp a big one, I looked at him and he giggled and said I burped momma....I said to him well do you know what to say when you burp or toot...his response....ummmm.....Happy Birthday? (You had to see the look on his face as he said this) so after my laughing moment I said you say "excuse me"

Hmmm...I got a call from my Dr office

My family Dr just called me (well the nurse did) to inform me that my last pap was abnormal, So yet again I have to go for a colposcopy, I had to go through this about 15yrs ago I had to go every 6 months for 2yrs the spots eventually vanished.....guess they've come back for another visit, hopefully it is nothing again.

I won't get in to have the colposcopy till March or April.

I like the frost but don't like the

COLD that comes with it.

I think it looks neat the way it attaches to everything

He melts my heart

Lately Lil O has been walking up to me gives me a hugs and says "I love you mom" to hear that is amazing.

Happy New Year.....yawn....

This little guy with this little face kept me up all night and he was not even the sick one his big brother was. (they tag teamed but he was the worst..lol)

so that was the start of my New Year

My Guys

It is not the best photo around but I think it is cute, the guys in my life sharing a drink made from the juicer. We just bought the juicer and I am so happy to see the my boys are now getting the veggies they need weather they know it or not, they seem to be enjoying it....why did we not think of his sooner.


I was in there to having a sip when the thought of "oh this is a shot" so I sacrificed my part of the juice for a photo.....

Wow

I just looked at my blog and photos on our other computer (one that is not calibrated) and wow the difference my blog and photos look blue and dark on the uncalibrated one...I advise you to calibrate your computers...... I hate to think of what you are all missing..

Christmas

Was good. Grandma and Grandpa stayed over, when the boys woke in the morning Lil O did not miss a beat he new just what to do....headed to the biggest gift...lol He was having fun ripping open his gifts while Ri could of cared less once he open the 1st toy he was done and wanted to play.







Hope you all had a Merry Christmas too

More lights

Well I thought I'd give the blurry light thing ago




some more starry lights




While I was taking the shots I saw my son run to get his V-Tech camera and started to take photos too. In the corner of my eye I saw he was watching what I was doing the he took off again grabbed his box flipped it over and then placed his camera on it...his tripod I guess...lol he is thinking.



I went to get the photos off his camera (I know they were there because I saw what he took) Low and behold they were gone vanished somehow and this is upsetting me because he got so good shots and now they are gone...grrrr

Lil O's Way of thinking on Chrsitmas....

Every time he see a toy that he'd like to have at the store or on TV he says "Christmas gonna give it for me" I say maybe I don't know..... When he looks at the gifts under the tree he asks "Have to wait till Christmas" when I say yes his response is "Oh okay wait till Christmas ..ok"

I will have to try and record him saying these for keepsakes.

They said it was coming...yup it did

This is my drive home last night from the mall


this drive on a good day takes only 25 minutes tops last night it took a little over 1.5hrs (good thing for the dvd player in the van.

a few more shot of the drive home:





these were all taken with my Canon SD1100

Casualty

Here is the 1st casualty of Christmas 2008, my youngest broke his 1st year ornament. The bottom where you see 2007 a glass bubble was around it filled with water and sparkles .... no longer sparkly... I was able to save it and got all of the glass removed from it. Other then that they have not bothered the Tree to much

X-mas tree

I set up the tree while the boys were napping (I need to do it in peace) I got the tree and the lights up just before Lil O woke. He came down and saw the lights and was in awe and said Oh momma look at the lights" I said yes this is the Christmas tree he responded "oh ... good job momma" nice to no I had his approval..lol

Ri woke and at 1st he was a little hesitant of the tree would not get to close but yet was excited to see it, about 20min in he finally poked it.

(video will come soon)

Needles

Finally went and got Ri's needles done his 1yr and 18months. The reason I was late on the check up was for 2 reasons:
1 ~ The clinic was closed for reno's and the I forgot to call back.
2 ~ Just felt very nervous for Ri to have his done (but he is doing well)

All went well at the clinic.
Ri's Info:

Lenght ~ 83 centimeter = 32.677 165 354 inch
Weight ~ 10.13 kilogram = 22.332 827 159 lb, lbs

he is in the 5% for weight and just below 50% for length.

Ri handles the needles well but started to cry on the 3rd one (4 total) then Lil O was starting to get upset because his lil brother was, so the nurse gave them both stickers.

Then is was time for mommy and Lil O to get the flu shot, he did not know what was coming as we went back to the waiting area till another nurse called on us. She asked if we should do Lil O's 1st I said no lets show him that mommy gets a needle too and does not cry so he knows that it does not hurt to bad. He watched me and it is a good thing that needles do not bother me because he was just waiting fo me to react. Then his turn came when I asked him to come sit on moms lap he looked at me and grabed his arm and said "no" I then said it is ok mommy got her needle now it is your turn, this is to help us not get sick ok... he thought about it then repeated what I said and I said yes that is right he then came and dat on my lap and the nurse gave him the needle he cried a little at the end because that is when you feel it.
We went back to the waiting area had to stay for 15min (just incase we had a reaction) and all was forgotton. Once home Lil O kept on repeating "were not gonna get sick right momma?"

Life

Well 26yrs ago today could of been the last day of my life...but someone, something was watching out for me or it just was not my time yet and I survived.

You see 26yrs ago today as I walked home from school (I was almost 10yrs old) I was walking and holding my sister J's school bag as she walked ahead of me carving something in a snowball she had in her hand. When I came to the road to cross (this was/is a four lane busy road) and this is where I do not remember too much other then waking up under a car with the tire right at my face and I still had the bag in my hand. I remember crying out and seeing feet all around me then I was out again, woke again in the ambulance the EMT asking me questions but I passed out again and woke in the hospital.

Apparently my sis started beating the guy that alsmost ran over me, he was 19yrs old.

Back to as I was crossing the road... I guess one car was already stopped and the driver was waving me to walk and then would sign to stop and then waved for me to walk again and I guess when I passed his car that is where the other car tried to stopped but slid on the ice and ran into me tossed me into the air and my sis says I flew about 15feet and landed on the car (broke the windsheild and dented the bumper) and roll down the hood and under the car as he was still sliding and stopped just at my head...that is why I saw a tire right at my face as I woke.

To this day I still remember seeing a row of lights and it was dark but I could not go to them, I never mentioned that to anyone till I was older when I would hear of people with near death experiences that they'd see a light....I often wonder is that what I saw...

Well I was able to walk out of the Hospital the next day with only brusies all over my body and bandages on my legs my snowsuit was tossed because they had to cut me out of it and that is what they say saved my life ... a snowsuit...one that I did not want to wear that day but my mum made me wear it. My main concern was for my chipmunk record that was in the bag...it was shattered, I did getting a new one... :)

My dancing boy showing his moves

that's my boy, wiggle it just a little bit......

Can not connect

Apparently some people (including me) can not connect to either Yahoo or Flickr. Hopefully things get fixed soon and all will be back to normal.

Today I went to the dentist and as I was sitting in the chair I had this thought run through my head of I wonder if the hygienist/dentist have ever had anyone spit/cough on them while the mouth was full (should of took that as a warning). Well a little more then half way thru guess what happens...yup...I did what I thought...so embarrassing....I starting to choke and then cough and yes my mought was full and it went everywhere some on me and some on here. I was like OMG so so sorry that has never happened and her response never happend to me either...lol And to help matters I started to gag on the fluoride treatment, geesh what was wrong with me today. She will remember me from now on.

Yum Yum Mama

Yummy in the tummy......mmm mmm pancakes good mama...yum

That is what my son says when I make his favorite breakfast.

Where's Ballerina

Went to Costco the other day with my friend C and as we were walking around Lil O kept asking "where's Ballerina?" I was like Ballerina who? I do not see any Ballerina's, then I starting to think how does he know about Ballerina's? hmmm. Then it clicked as my friend C walked away again and Lil O asked once again "Where is Ballerina going?" Ah C is Ballerina (Ballerina rhymes with C's name)..lol. When C came back I mentioned to her that she is now Ballerina...we had a good chuckle from it.

(lil O 3yrs old)

Click take a pic

Well I finally got around to Lil O's b-day party stuff (B-day was in Sept). Here he is with the camera we bought him for he day, he is almost as attached to it as mommy is to hers..lol


And this is the only time I will let him shoot his brother...


Blowing out his candles




More in his photo gallery ------>

Hello Moon

I thought I posted this shot of the moon....guess not.

My boys have a ritual and say bye to daddy at the front door(they wavy wildly while he drives away) every morning when he leaves for work. Well one morning the morning moon was so nice that I had to shoot it.

Ok try again......

We went grocery shopping today and as usual Lil O said hi to EVERYONE and then you'd hear a little echo of Ri saying hi too. When people said hi back that is when Lil O would announce that he had a race car then hold it up to show them. Well at on point I stopped in the Isle to look for something and a lady was reading one of the items (she had it in her hands)a few feet away. Lil O said Hi then waited a moment when he did not get a response back he said "Hi" again only a bit louder, he repeated this a couple of more times then he stopped...then I heard him say "Ok lets try this again, HI" I started to laugh and that is when the lady turned and looked at me and then at Lil O and said Hi back.

98% of the time people do say hi back. He also saw some kids and said to them "Hi boy, HI" At one point a lady stopped to say hi and she said that she had a couple of twin granddaughters his age, she looked at O and said would you like a girlfriend...lol

I'm a Big boy & I'm STRONG

Well lil O finally made the transition to a big boy bed. I have had a toddler bed in the basement for a few months now and every time I wanted to set it up dh would be like "why, he is not complaining about it, he does not try to get out. Just because other kids are in one does not mean he needs to be....and so on...... I do not think daddy was ready..lol
Me I was all excited to show him the big boy bed. I held off as long as I could but I feel it is/was the time for a few reasons:
#1 he is 3yrs old
#2 he goes to bed without any issues(so I had a feeling he would not be a problem)
#3 can not hold him back.

So I set up his toddler bed before his nap time. Lil O was helping and then asked why I was taking it down (because I put it together wrong for the bed rails) when done he crawled right into his new bed laid down and pulled the covers up then looked up at me and said "this is my bed". I asked if he wanted to take his nap in his new big boy bed he nodded his head. When I went to close the door he asked for me to leave his light on (why I do not know, so I did. turned it off when he fell asleep) When it was time for bedtime I asked Lil O what bed he was going to sleep in and he pointed to the crib saying his name and that he'd sleep in there, then he pointed to the toddler bed and said it that for baby.. I said no that is a big boy bed for a big boy and then pointed to the crib and said that was for a baby boy. I asked him if he was a big boy he said yes then I asked why does a big boy want to sleep in a baby's bed. He thought for a moment then said no I am a big boy, I sleep in big boy bed. That was it he crawled in and cuddled with he's froggy, baby, bear and Mr Monkey. I turned the lights out and he stayed in bed as fell asleep he woke calling for me at 7:30am.... I am so proud he did not fall out..lol In the morning I asked if he had a good sleep he said "yup" I then asked if he liked his big boy bed "yup, I am a big boy and I am strong" (flexing his muscles as he said this) My response Yes you are little man yes you are.

Well after almost 3months

AF found me yet again. A little cramping but not much. I think I am a little distracted because I am the new owner of a canon 50D, I was not expecting this till the new year sometime...I just drooled at it on the computer A LOT...he must of saw... and was tired of it...lol

Since I am looking into taking more sport shots of soccer, football and wrestling this camera will be great...I LOVE my man....now I feel guilty for my XTi (you won't be forgotten)

RIP Unlce Jack

My aunt the one I mentioned below lost her life partner, husband, friend today. They only been married 3days. I am so sorry Auntie Marg

He passed at 6am this morning. Rest in Peace Jack Rest in Peace.

Bittersweet

Today my mum called and told me that my Auntie M is getting married today (which is great). My aunt has been with J for about 20yrs, life was good for them... A little over a month ago J was taken to the hospital and they discovered his cancer was back and in the stomach. J was/is not doing to great so on one visit he announced to my mum he was going to marry her sister.

J was sent home and he lasted a week at home before ending up back in the hospital and has been there since. It almost seemed like the marriage was not going to take place because M was with J most of the time so others set things in motion for them to get married (one of J's sons and a neighbor friend) J was moved to a hospice the other day and today is the day they decided to say "I Do"

This is why it is bittersweet, they love each other, and for J he wants to make sure my Aunt M is taken care of after he is gone.

this photo I took of them back in 2003

What no smiles here

apparently it is hard to smile with these two. Well they were not so thrilled with the fake web stuff the neighbor put out..

Trick or Treat.........We survived Halloween...

Took the boys to the Mall's Marvelous Maskoween Party today, 1st time Halloweeners and they did really well. Lil O was not scared he kept yelling out Oh mamma look at the monsters {pause} Hi monsters HI as he is waving like mad...lol


We then watched a magic show (which I think went on a bit to long for the kids about 45mins) the kids all had a blast. The guy was good but by the time he was done they were all ready to take off.


Then we went and made a mask (mommy tried not to help to much) he did well.


He would not wear the mask at 1st then I tried it out and M took a photo (photo will come later) and then Ri tried it (that too will come later) and then Lil O wanted to give it a shot:
Could not get him to take it off after that...lol

Here he is leaving with dad to go Trick or Treating for the very 1st time

When they came back Dh said that he did say the Trick or Treat part and when he got the treats he'd look a dh and say "Ok lets go to the next house" He also wanted to go into the neighbors house next door she did let him in and when he said TorT to her she said of for the here you go and dumped a hand full into his bag. Geesh he is all ready working it...lol
