random-ness

*i just realized that kylie weighed 12lb 9oz on 9-12.. she was 7lbs 12oz on 7-12..
*i really should be sewing some diapers but i'm such a slacker or lack of motivation.. what is up with that??
*found some books i want to check out at the library.. they are... this and that. Will i agree with those books? i don't know.. i will find out!
*found out today that my uncle has a disease(myositis) that his immune system is attacking his muscles which is causing him very weak.. I'm tempted to do research, to find the cause of that and see what alternative meds i can find for him.. I doubt he'll take me seriously but i can at least print off papers for him and let him read it. The thought counts right??
*i think you should read Traci's blog.. :) Nice to have a birth junkie in the family to feed me some info..
*i made mash potatoes tonight in the crock-pot for the first time. I want to use my crock-pot more often. makes life easier!
*i cant wait to start working on/making Alex's gift for our 1 yr anniversary.
*i LOVE having a son AND a daughter, they're my world! my family is complete..... for now!
*i want to BUILD a house.. guess we should start making more $$ first and pay off our debts.. but doesn't hurt to dream!
*on the same night, alex had a dream that he won the lottery, i had a dream he cheated on me with a girl i know... perfect combo huh?? i wanted to push him off the bed when i woke up in the middle of the night after that dream....but i didnt...... i realized, just in time, it was a dream.. :)
*ok, i'm done! can you tell i was bored? avoiding the diaper sewing for no apparent reason..

Carson and Kylie

Carson is my blond haired kid... Kylie, believe it or not, is my red headed baby.. Thought I'd shard this as they somewhat look alike. Kylie does remind me of Carson at times. :) By the way, Kylie is 2 months old now! The pic below is one of her 2 month old picture. On the 12th, she weighed in at 12lbs 9oz!! 2 weeks before that, she was 11lbs 9oz.. She is doing awesome!!

He makes me laugh..........

Doing the Steve Urkel style... I have no idea where he got this from, but he knows it makes me laugh so maybe that's why he does that?

After he's done in the bathroom, sometimes he'll come out hopping with his undies and pants down at his ankles.. :)

This is what happens when you have a big brother, putting random stuff on baby's head while baby is sleeping...

He usually knows how to make my day!! He'll be 3 on the 23rd of Sept. Time flies and its been a great 3 years!! He's our pride and joy!! AND Kylie too!!

Preschool time at home..

We started our first homeschooling lesson on Friday!(I've been trying to get the video to load since Friday, I'll just have to try it again!) Hopefully he will enjoy what i have in mind for fun learning activities.. I also want him to enjoy learning like his dad.. I sure hated school myself so I'm praying my kids will be the opposite.. I'm sure there's a huge difference with public school and homeschooling.. I will find out soon.. I have fun thinking of new ideas of what to do with Carson to keep it fun! I will have to print off a planner/calendar sheet for myself to train myself to be consistent.. might be a good idea to start that NOW as its something I'm struggling with.. i AM getting better at that! I'm also getting better at not worrying about what needs to be done around the house.. there's ALWAYS going to be something that needs to be done in the house(dishes,laundry,tidy-up,etc)..
I also use sign language with him when learning new stuff.. its almost doing like 4 things on one thing.. colors, sign language, naming the object and shapes if it applies.. Does that even make sense?

Monkey Dance and Kylies short video clip

I was hoping to get Kylie smiling some more but the internal memory on camera ran out of space.. I will try my best to catch my children milestone without them realizing I'm videotaping them. Carson knows the camera and doesn't always act the same.. For example, i tried getting the monkey dance and then he did the weird noise and hand movement at the end of monkey dance.. at least we got the beginning of it! I'm going to have to capture more funny stuff on camera so i can watch it when I'm old and kids are out house.. Making a "Blast From The Past" video album for kids and I so my grandkids can watch their silly dad/mom.. That stuff is important to me!! My mom has tons of video of my sister and I and I enjoy watching them when I can.. There are some things that I've watched of myself that Carson does.. :)

wheres six????

Video from today.. 9-11-08


I have a video of Kylie, first video, on camera but its saved on the internal memory of camera. I'll have to wait for Alex to get that on computer for me. I cant figure out how to do that??
