Kiddies

I love these kids!

And I love how funny they can be...

Snappies

Jenny

Jenny has been craken us up lately. This is her latest:

-"I don't, I can't, I am too busy." "I can't want to."
- "Turn the light open"
- She loves pink. Cannot get enough of it. If she needs something that happens to be pink she will yell out, "My pink!" She has to have her pink plate cup and bowl at all times.
- When I tell her to be nice, or do something nicely she will yell out in a loud scary voice, "Nicely!"
- She changes her clothes 5 times a day.
-She will put something in her mouth and say, "Mmm, I like it!" then 10 seconds later spit it out and say,"That's gross I don't like it."
-She likes to wear all of her bracelets and necklaces at once. She looks like 80's Madonna.
-She loves the song Silent Night and wants me to sing it to her every night.
-She loves to color and draw with crayons. She always wants me to draw her a picture of the same exact things in the order, grapes, grandma and Jensen.
-The only food items that she will successfully eat every time are: Candy, donuts, Cracklin Oat Bran and cheese.

Lack of Posting

Do people blog anymore? I recently read a post my friend Danielle did about that. I think I am agreeing. People just are not blogging as much as they used to. I know I need to keep at it because I do turn my blog into a book every year and this is practically a journal for my family, so it keeps me pushing through. I can tell you the reasons I haven't posted in a while....time.

Now that I have 3 kids my life somehow is this whirl wind of days of getting nothing accomplished, but feeling like I have taken on the world. I can't sit at the computer anymore. Three reasons, one being that if I sit for a period longer then 10-15 minutes my nerve in my back gets pinched and it hurts all day. Two, Cortland loves to type along with me and makes everything twice as much work. Three because my church calling requires me to do the Sunday bulletin. Which means any computer time I do get, gets devoted completely to that.

I only now have time because some miracle has happened where both children are asleep at the same time. (Deep sigh..)

My life is crazy it seems. It happens when you start getting comfortable. I feel bad about the fact that people keep telling me to enjoy every second. I know I should enjoy every second. I know that when my kids are grown or gone or don't come to me with every little thing I will be sad. Nostalgic, as my Gram would say. But please don't tell me to enjoy every moment when I have been puked on for the 27th time that day or scrubbing poop off walls or doing the 3 rounds of dishes and 8th load of laundry. Those are not the times mother's need this info. And, if you think it is, please expect a not so happy response.

Can I honestly say when I pictured my life it would be like this. No. It wasn't. I don't know what I pictured, but it wasn't this. And although you may be surprised by my answer, it is so much more. We are raising little humans. I love the days when Randy is home and our kids do something funny and we can just look at each other and laugh knowing that those little humans are ours, and that we made them and and we get to keep them! I love seeing ourselves in our children the good and the bad. All the talents and smarts from me coupled with Randy's good looks.:)

SO many Random thoughts in my head. And now, kids are awake....

7 Month Cort

I don't think Corty Cort will ever look normal in a picture. Everyone always asks why he is so surprised all the time. The camera and his eyes do not get along for some reason. Which I don't blame him because I always have a lazy eye picture with my own camera. Like Mother like son I guess. Cort is getting so big. He eats: squash, peas and pears. He has also had apple prune juice. He can mostly sit up by himself with only a few tumbles and he has gone up on all fours and crawled on step and fell on his face. He loves to lick things and I think we will see some bottom teeth popping up in the next couple of weeks. His schedule is still kinda funky, but he takes on morning nap, an afternoon nap, a 20 min late nap then goes to be around 9:00. He randomly wakes up. Sometimes never until the morning, sometimes 4 times a night. No set system yet. His naps are sometimes 30 mins and sometimes 3 hours. I don't think I will ever figure this kid out and I have a feeling he is going to keep me on my toes. I am pretty sure he is sick of me kissing him too.
