My Life

I feel like it's been so long since I've blogged! I will say, I feel like my life is SOOOOOOO busy now that I have two kids. I didn't really expect that-what's adding one more? Well, apparently it makes my life really busy :). Attempting to get a million things done while trying to give attention and love to two little boys takes up a LOT of time. But, I am loving life. I love my two boys! Here's what's been going on around here: • We got a new car and I LOVE it! We got a 2008 Toyota Matrix! I'll share pics :) • We got a new Camper (Tent Trailer) and we're SO excited to take it out this weekend! • Because we got a new car and camper we're selling our Volvo and old camper • The other day Parker started BREASTFEEDING his MONKEY and saying, "He's Hungry"! haha. • Parker is starting to put together more and more multiple word phrases rather than one word. Such as “See ya Sucka!” (Daddy taught Parker this phrase and mommy isn’t too fond of it), and “It’s OK Spencer” and much more. It’s exciting! • Parker is getting so good at saying prayers! If ever we forget he usually even reminds us :) • We’ve found a few things lately that have SCARED Parker! This was surprising since he seemed fearless to anything-he is SUCH a boy. But he was so scared of Darrin’s stuffed Parana from Brazil, Darrin’s LOUD alarm clock, and Darrin’s LOUD air compressor. I don't know what it is about loud things lately but he doesn't like them. • At 6 weeks old, Spencer is pretty much on the same sleep schedule that he has been. He’ll do a first stretch of about 4 hours and then wake up every 3 hours after that to eat. One night he slept for a 7 hour stretch and a few nights he’s done a 6 hour stretch but the rest are about 4. But I’d say he’s not doing too shabby • Spencer is a great baby-but one of the hardest things these past couple weeks is that he’ll be dead asleep in my arms and then when I put him down for bed he wakes up and is not happy about it-even when I’m SUPER careful to set him down so he wont notice-but he seems to almost always notice… • Spencer continues to be a binky baby-he loves that thing! • I'm not going to lie-one of my least favorite things lately is going out with two kids-I'm sure I'll get more used to it but it's a lot harder loading in and out two kids and trying to keep them both happy :) • Mother's Day was wonderful! Darrin changed diapers, gave Spencer a bath, did the dishes, cleaned the microwave, made dinner, and got flowers for me from the yard! Parker made me a handprints poem in nursery that made me cry. SO cute! So, there you have it-my life lately-now for some pictures:

Now, check this out. I got BOTH Parker (bottom pic) and Spencer's (top pic) first Smiles on camera!! Check out how similar-I love it!!
