Birthday Fun

I have my birthday this week fun stuff, I am entering the downward slope to 30, which everyone tells me isn't that bad. Yeah because they already hit the slope and are making their way to 40.

Moosie will be 2 in about a month and I am not sure where the time went, it was like yesterday I was bringing her home; a little bundle. I don't know if growing up is what I want my kids to do, but I know it is going to happen sometime. Before I know it they will be all grown up and starting their own lifes; telling me their kids (hopefully) are growing up to fast. I had a dream one night that I had five boys and my daughter and all the boys became priests (Catholic so no marriage or children) and my daughter finally got married and had a baby at 30. Why I wanted to be a grandma so bad in my dream I am not sure but, wow what a joy. Funny what dreams make us realize sometimes, life works out in different ways.

Been out a while

Three kids kept you busy, especially with a fourth on the way.

Bug will start school this year coming up, scary and exciting at the same time. To think my baby is old enough to go school. He is so exciting and keeps asking when he gets to go. School is a great learning curve to, he hits is brother, don't do that, you can't do that at school and you want to go to school right?

Boo is getting big, what else can I say? Our Linebacker is 3 and about to pass his older brother. He is talking great and has a naughty streak, he is quiet naughty, so I don't discover what he did right away.

Moosie is almost 2, and going on 30. She is independent, needs no help, and has decides she is not a baby. She is walking and talking and loves to dance and sing. Especially Ariel songs. She is wanting to potty train, but I am not sure if I will push it till after baby arrives.

With only a couple months left I have to start thinking of a nickname for the newbie.

Moosie is trying to walk

Moosie started using various furniture to stand up with two weeks ago and now she is using her doll stroller, and chairs to walk with. It is so cute, I can see walking in the near future. yikes!

Bug has promised to sing "Jesus Loves Me" for mommy's birthday, I hope he does, will be the best birthday present I could ever think of.

Boo is talking up a storm now, and has become a risk taker.

And Moosie has her first two teeth. Woo Hoo!!!!!!

And now he is potty trained

So I took the step back approach to Bug's potty training. I put him in his trainers as always and told him to use the potty. I told him he would be in trouble if he peed his pants. Finally he got it. I am not allowed to be around when he is going but he is finally going. Even making #2. What a relief, now I need to get Boo more into the idea.

I won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As some may have noticed I have a little fluff friday button on the side of my blog. Well just when I was in disppear of not having enough cloth diapers (Smalls stop fitting last week) I won fluff friday, giving me three bumGenuis. Wow how God works knowing when you are in need and helping you. I am so greatful to have won. My baby is getting some new diapers. I will now have 9, plus the 12 prefolds and 2 covers.

I am in shock and excited. I had prayed for this last night and God heard me. I opened blogger this morning and said to myself, well lets see who won this week, with doubt that I would ever win. Let's just say when I saw my name I about passed out. My kids all got big kisses, and gave me the mommy you are scaring me look.

For all the mommas that stop by!

Working on words

As some may know we have had speech problems with my middle son at 15mths all he would say was mama, dada, and uhh and point for something as with any parent this scared us. Since time has gone on and progress was made at his 2 yr old appt he was almost to a 2 yr old level in speech but still holding off speech therepy I went the route of working with him more.

I am kind of schooling them everyday, we have class in the mornings. Read a story, listening to a project mommy made, right now I am doing power point presentations on farm animals. Then a craft, school in a nutshell for us and the boys love it.

Yesterday I did a power point on cows and then we glued spots on the cows. When Boo showed nana his cow she tells him nice cow and he tells her no Bull. I couldn't believe it he listened and learned something from me and used a new word. I have never had that kind of proud mama moment, but I hope there are many more to come.

Moosie is starting to crawl backwards, and she is justing army crawling forwarding. At any chance she gets she tries to stand up. I think she wants to walk. With Bug I could wait for him to start walking, with Boo I was a little more leary of him on the move, and the thought of Moosie walking down right terrifies me. Three walking, how will I kept up?

Moosie wants to be on the move

Here are some pics one of the kids and a pic of the pup

Moosie has almost perfected sitting, she is scooting, and wishes she was crawling. She can get up on her hands and knees at the same time but has no idea were to go from there. I am fine with that right now.



We went back to the peds for Boo and Moosie this past week. Boo weighs in at 26 lbs (two away from Bug and they are 18 mths apart.) He is going to be our little football player, he already has the tackle perfected. He isn't going to need any speech therapy, for now. But I do have to work with him on phonics, the sounds and letters type of stuff. Get him properly pronouncing.

Moosie weighed in at 14 lbs 10 oz, she is getting to be a big girl. She has chub, but it isn't really chub. She has some stock to her and she is growing fast. I think she might actually fit into 6-9 mths soon, well dresses at least. They get short on her fast, I think it is because she is long. All is good with her, hitting targets. She needs to stay on acid reflux meds, she spits up to much off of them.

Boo's Two and other news

Boo is now two years old and I am not sure if that is okay with me. My baby boy is growing up. Well all three are. Moosie will be 7 months on March 3, and Bug is three and a half.

Both Moosie and Boo will be going back to the doctor soon. Moosie just a regular check up, and Boo needs his iron level checked and get started towards hearing tests and possible speech therepy.

We have a new addition to our family a Yorkie named Tiger pics to follow.

Where does the time go?

Moosie is a whole six months today. I feel like I just bought her home.

Boo will be two in 13 days!

Moosie is Baptized

We had Moosie's Baptism this past Saturday. Such a wonderful day.

The news is in

Boo does not have Celiac's or a wheat allergy, but an egg, chocolate, and beef allergy. He can eat small amount and will be fine. We fill so blessed that he is not allergic to wheat.



His anemia has been diagnosed and he has Thalassemia. He needs an iron supplement and he will be reviewed in a couple of months.

That is all we know for now.

Family update

All three kids went to the doctor this past week, some more than others.

Bug went in for his 3 yr old check up he is weighing in at 28.8 lbs, and is 36 in tall. He is healthy and growing good.

Boo went in he was 23 lbs and 33 1/2 in tall. He is our big boy. I don't know if everyone knows but we have had some concerns with food allergies, mostly with wheat. He has some markers for Celiac's disease a wheat gluten intelerance that affects the small bowel, the tests are being run and we have to wait and see. Here's a link if you would like to know more. http://www.celiac.org/cd-main.php Also he was sent to the cardiologist to check his heart murmur which is a innocent one so all is fine there.

Moosie is a peanut weighing in at 11.4 lbs and is 24 in long. All is good with her she is to remain on acid reflux meds.

For these appt we saw a new pediatrician. At first I didn't want to change but as for Boo it seems for the better.

Getting Bigger

I notice that kids grow fast. Maybe too fast. Moosie is looking big in her 0-3 mths clothes, and the boys have both been moving through shoes. I don't think I noticed that shoes aren't cheap till we started replacing them almost monthly. Well kids are crying, and one's on the toilet.

The Boys are Coming Home!

They are on the road as of 7:30 Texas time. I am so excited and can't wait to see them. Yeah they should be back by monday night.

My little bully was bullying his older brother and teasing him, I love it it is cute, but I know once they are home it won't be cute anymore.

Little Miss is growing so good, great to know after severe acid reflux put her 4 oz away from failure to thrive, I am hoping she can be 9 lbs by her appt in early October. She was 8 lbs 6 oz as of September 18 on the home scale.

Here's a pic of Little Miss sleeping in her brother chair, makes for a great baby chair.

So my old blog went crazy.

So the blog I had was no longer working, I was told several times for several days that it didn't exist, even through I posted to it, strange, ah?

Well here is the new blog and I am going to try to keep it up.

Lots of love and God's Blessings to you!
