Silly Boy

I have to say that when I first found out that Monkey was a boy I was nervous about how I was going to raise him. I didn't have much exposure to boys growing up or in my babysitting experiences so it was something that was pretty new to me. Most of the experiences I did have as a preschool teacher scared the crap out of me when I thought about it. Boys are crazy and full of energy and rough house all the time so I have to say that I was nervous as Monkey started to get older. Then to find out that I was going to have another first made me even more nervous. All I could see was my boys wrestling through the house and not being able to have anything nice because it would get broken not to mention all the dirt and bugs and other unthinkable things that they might one day bring into the house. 

 I'm glad to say that that has changed. I love having Monkey and all the great boy experiences. He's so much easier than the experiences I have had with girls. And then to think that he will have a brother to teach new things to and share his energy with is great! I can't wait for Goose to get here and get to an age where I can sit and watch my boys play and explore together. Plus I think it will make homeschooling that much easier because they will have similar interests. 

 The other day Monkey was being his normal silly self and we were able to capture some of this cuteness on camera. I couldn't imagine having a little girl in place of Monkey like we originally thought. Monkey is just the perfect addition to our family and I know that Goose will be the same because that's what God planned for us. How could it not be perfect?







 Have to have at least one with the finger up his nose. 
What else do boys do but pick their noses?


How could I have been nervous about raising a boy? Look at how cute and adorable he is! Plus he is so creative. This is just one of the ways that he entertains himself when he can't be playing out back. He can find anything around the house and make it into something fun! Seriously, isn't he the cutest boys ever? I wonder if Goose will look like Monkey or if he will come out completely different...guess I have to wait a few more months to find out. He needs to finish baking first ;)

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis.  I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out.  Granny and Great Po...
