TAT: Mommy & Me

I adore my boys! I can't imagine life without them! However, there aren't too many pictures of us together because I'm always the one behind the camera. I think that is most mom's complaints ;) 


I try really hard to not let myself freak out when Monkey wants to hold bugs and other things that I would never want to touch! Picture here is the praying mantis that we found while waiting for fireworks on the 4th of July.


Then there is the wanting to paint and create artful things things that always end up with a mess. But that's part of having kids and I do love watching Monkey design and create things!


And let's not forget all we go through to bring them into the world! The whole nine months of craziness (is there any other way to describe being pregnant?) and of course labor and delivery. It's all worth it to me! I would do it over and over again just to see a new face that my husband and I created together! 


And then there are the great quiet moments that we all can enjoy! This is when Goose and I got to enjoy some outside time while Monkey and his cousins were playing.


And storytime before bed or in our house all day long! Monkey loves stories and I think that Goose will too! I think this is my favorite time of day because we get to cuddle up and learn. Even from fun story books we learn things.


I think that being a mom is the greatest job in the world and I would never trade it in the world for anything! Being a homemaker makes it easy for us to have Mommy and Me moments everyday some have to be intentional and many just happen!

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

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...
