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 ;)

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
