365- Day 9

Day 9:

Day nine of this year makes our big boy eleven months old. Does anyone else know where the past eleven months have gone? I sure don't! I do know they have been filled with joy and happiness by this bright eyed sweetie. He makes us laugh daily at his antics. He's already a big handful so I'm looking forward to see how his personality comes out in the next year!

365- Day 8

Day 8:

I'm thankful for this sweet spirited six year old that keeps me smiling even when I'm not feeling the greatest. I'm also thankful for him helping to keep his baby brother entertained today :)

365- Day 7

Day 7:

This is what happens when momma has the stomach flu for a day and 1/2 and daddy is left in charge. :(

I'm thankful for a husband who was willing to stay home and take care of the kiddos (because there was NO way I could of), BUT COME ON?!?!?!

The funny part is when i asked him what happened to my perfectly clean house he said, "What do you mean?" bahah! I had to laugh or I might cry!

365- Day 6

Day 6:

In the evening I pack the diaper bag for the sitter, get B's school stuff ready and put my purse (and whatever else I usually have like movies to take back, post office stuff, etc) on the bench by the front door. If I didn't do this I would be a crazy person in the mornings and would never get anywhere on time or with out forgetting something we needed. This helps me feel sane.

At the new house we're having cubbies/lockers built in the laundry room to match the cabinets. I can't wait for those :)

Sickies

Last Friday at 5am I woke up to B screaming "MOM I PUKED" in the most pitiful voice :( He wasn't kidding either- it was EVERYWHERE. Poor little guy! I felt so bad for him- he looked awful. He has never had the stomach flu except when he was 2 mo. old (guess we've been pretty lucky about that!). He puked about every 2 hours for the rest of the day until late evening. It was a long day, but he was extra sweet (just whiny b/c he wanted to eat and he couldn't even keep down sprite).

Poor sick boy!
This little mess maker struck again!
I was feeding him his cereal and fruit for breakfast and B puked (all over the couch)... I sat the food on the counter and went to take care of B. Somehow Corbin got the bowl and spoon off the counter and had it EVERYWHERE (including the floor and he was covered head to toe).


Saturday B woke up feeling really good (just tired still and not much of an appetite, but not sick to his stomach). Ryan went to work out at the house and came home after about 30 min. and was sick. He had it much worse than B though. It was terrible trying to keep C away from B and then from Ryan while they were sick. It was a longgg weekend (and not in a good way!). Lysol, bleach, and tons of soap were my best friends all wk/end.

I prayed and prayed and prayed that Corbin and I wouldn't get it. I HAD to go back to work Tuesday after being off for two weeks and I didn't want poor Corbin to get it b/c what a mess for a little guy to be sick-- God answered those prayers and neither of us even had a hint of it!

Random

This little man is a MESS MAKER! I can't get over the messes he makes! I don't remember B being quite so messy! haha!

I was washing dishes and I turn around to THIS-- all my recipes spread out all over the floor!
He is a climber now-- yikes!

Being sweet :)
Attacking his brother!

Playing :)

This was one of C's Christmas gifts from my Grandma and I'm not sure who likes it more :)

Also, Corbin started at a new sitter on Tuesday. It went great and I'm praying it stays that way!

Brycen wasn't ready to go back to school on Monday, but I think he is back to enjoying it now that we're back in the swing of things! :)

Christmas Evening

Christmas Evening for supper we always have Christmas w/ the Sims' side of the family. We switch back and forth between my moms and my Aunt Lisa's (they switch Christmas and Thanksgiving so no one ends up hosting both).

4 Generations-

My grandma Judy, My dad (Rick), Me, Brycen & Corbin

My daddy and I :)


Corbin got tired while we were watching old home videos of past Christmas' (like when I was 4 and 5) and past years of Easter (around the same age). My cousin put them on DVD for everyone so that was fun and a great surprise!

The boys got John Deere Stuff, books, and Corbin got a glow worm :)
