Updates

Soo it is now 2014 and I cannot believe it! This year we will have a 5 yr old and a 2 yr old wow! Where did the time go?!

Halloween 2013



 I have started potty training  Landon and he absolutely loves his Mickey Mouse underwear. Ha! He totally cracks me up and reminds me everyday how blessed I am to have 2 beautiful and precious boys.

Halloween 2013

Logan is also doing very well he will be going to Kindergarten and this year has sure been his year to shine. I  am so proud of what he has learned this year in preschool. He is very proud of himself too!

I love being a stay at home mom during the week!

I got my haircut recently and I have really been loving it! I think this will be the style for quite some time! ;)

I wanted to make sure and post this picture because I feel this is very heartwarming. My sisters school class all wore grey shirts in  honor of our son Logan having brain cancer.

This is definitely my new motto for 2014!! The quote says it all! I am who I am. I say what I feel.

This is a picture of me with my nephews. Christmas 2013

The boys and their Aunt Cyndi

I look forward to what 2014 has in store for us!



My 2014 resolution is to make time for what is important. You can do anything you set your mind to. Life is too short to dwell or worry about things that really don't matter. Don't make time for people that don't make time for you. Always make time for you and your spouse to spend alone together. Do what makes you happy. Always forgive and forget, and give second chances. BE your own person, nobody wants to see a copycat of someone else.

What I'm Loving This Week!

This week I am really loving the WEATHER!!
- It has been extremely nice here lately! I am just so thankful! I just love it when it is nice, because my mood is alot better it seems, and Logan gets to get out of the house and burn off the extra energy he always has, gotta love the fresh air too!!

My HUSBAND- I am really appreciating the extra help I have been receiving from my husband! He has been superdad here lately! He has just been extraordinary!

 



POTTY TRAINING- I am really enjoying potty training, did I really just say that!? Haha. Logan has been doing wonderful with not complaining because it's potty time, and he is actually seeming to enjoy it! We went and got him some Cars pull-ups this week and he is in love with them. He no longer wears diapers whatsoever! Just big boy pull-ups!


How was ya'lls week!?

What's New

Today I decided that it was time for a change, so I went and got a new hairstyle. I LOVE it! I finally have volume, and I can straighten it as well. Here's a few pics

I'm 33 wks pregnant

Also I finally got my coupon binder put together. It is now so much easier to find coupons when need-be!

And last, but not LEAST, I am loving how potty training Logan is going! We stayed up in the hospital for a few days this week and Logan did amazing with holding his pee and not going in his pull-up! I knew it wasnt going to be easy especially since he was hooked up on iv fluids the whole time, but he was such a big kid about it, I am just sooo proud of him! Tomorrow I am going to start putting him in underwear! I hope he continues to pee in the potty and hold it!

Do you have anything new that you would like to share?

Logan New Routine

I have decide that it is time to get Logan back on track and into a routine, i've heard that alot of families that only have one child don't make their kids have a bedtime routine, or a regular routine to that matter. But here lately I have really been working hard on getting Logan on a scedule. He was on a scedule before now, it just wasnt really that great! So we now wake up, Logan and I at 7am every morning, we eat breakfast,brush our teeth, then have music and play time. Then I start to make lunch bout 11am we eat at 11:30 am, then we go outside if it nice, if not, we color,do puzzles and do educational stuff! Then 1-2pm is nap time. 4pm bath time, Logan usually take about an hour bath, he loves bath time!! Then I start to make Supper bout 5pm. Then We eat bout 5:30-6pm. Then Bedtime is 8pm! So far this scedule is working great, I am so happy! This gives Anthony and I time to spend together and catch up with eachother and it also gives Logan structure! Also we are still potty training, it is going well, Logan is liking it and he likes to wear his 'COOL" underwear haha!

How has having a routine for your children made it easier for you, and them?

Update on potty training/Landon/Logans Birthday Party

I am so happy to say that potty training is going well. We are still at the start of it tho, but Day 1 went great, and Day 2 is going even better. I decided that it is time Logan gets potty trained, I would like him potty trained before Landon arrives, or shortly after, mainly so he can start school. I give Logan a sticker everytime he goes potty on his potty, and then he places his sticker on his sticker chart. Once Logan starts telling me he has to go potty I will give him a sticker and he will place it on his chart and then once he gets to 5 stickers (5 times of him telling me) I will let him pick out a prize!  So far he seems to really like this idea! I am even going to bag up his potty and take it up with me to the hospital when we go!

Next, I have made sure everything is cleaned up for Landon, blankets and what not. All that is left to do is get him a carseat. The other day I told Logan to give Landon a kiss and he lifted up my shirt and kissed my belly! It was the sweetest moment in the world! He is going to make a great Big brother, we just can't wait! Also I have decided I will be breastfeeding and cloth diapering Landon! This is what I feel is best and i am so happy about it! 

This year we decided we were going to throw Logan another Elmo birthday party! I am so excited! I am already starting to plan it! Im making his invitations and everything! Im hoping it will be a big hit! Last year we never had a birthday party for Logan since, it was a very overwhelming time for us all, so Anthony and I just took Logan to Chuckie Cheese's and just had a small family party. I hope he really enjoys his party! I can't wait!

What I Love about Sundays~1

I love sundays in our household. They are just great!

Every sunday we have a tradition well a meal tradition where we make bacon, eggs, and toast and eat it together as a family, or i may do the traditional biscuits and gravy!! then we all hang out as a family since anthony doesnt have to go into work till like 1! It is very nice!

Here is Logan in his big boy underwear, the potty training will continue today =) wish me luck!

Saturday Fun

So today, logan and I hung out all day as usual, but today was different than an ordinary day! I am starting to notice Logan is not my little Logan in a sense anymore he is getting to be such a big kid it makes me sad and happy all at the same time! Logan is doing great with potty training, he loves to potty on the potty, but poo pooing is another thing. But anyway today i saw Logan trying to poo poo in his pants and i grabbed him and took him to the restroom and set him on the potty and told him this is where you poo, and i told him that if he pooed on the potty i would give him a sucker(dum-dum). And next thing i knew he pooped on the potty! I was so happy!!  He enjoyed his green apple Dum-Dum! Haha! This may be easier than i thought! as ;long as we are making progress evryday im a happy momma! Kids do things in their own time, not always when you want them to do it!;) Good thing to learn!=)

Next we played outside for about 10 min today! Logan had alot of fun burning off some of his energy he didnt want to come back in the house as usual! I got a few cute pics!!

Then we came inside and just played the rest of the day!

How was your Saturday??
