If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years, eventually earning the right to be called
Mother!
Logan is FIVE months old today!! I can't believe it. How the time flies.
So here are a few things about Logan:
-He is a MaMa's boy! He'll be totally content hanging out, but if I walk into the room...he'll start whimpering. I must admit. It works, cause I end up giving him lots of love :)
-He is so big, he is now in 9 MONTH clothing! AGHH. I can't keep up.
-He is starting to roll over...he doesn't realize it though.
-He's not quite eating solids, he wasn't a fan of the rice cereal at 4 months, so we gave up for a while.
-He is a spitter!!!..and I LOVE it!...(maybe not the constant soaking of his shirts)
-He's not giving me a full night sleep yet...so I am currently going on 8 Months of getting up in the night. (I had to count the last couple months of pregnancy)
-Logan is starting to discover. He reaches for your face. He'll reach for a toy. Its so cute.
-He likes to hear himself "talk". He'll squawk and squeal. He'll do it at night. So I've had to shut his door.
-He loves to kick and splash in the bath!
-If he's fussy, he'll usually calm down when you throw a blanket over his face.
-Here is my boy!! I could seriously kiss those fat cheeks all day!

Ok, every year has been "easy" when it comes to Halloween Costumes. We have a Plethera of princess outfits! So naturally, every year my girls are princesses!! This year, Dejah is 5. Meaning she is very aware that she can choose what she wants to be. Leaving me, to figure out how. This year she wants to be Stephanie from "Lazy Town". If anyone has cheap ideas, I am all ears. Mycah will probably be a princess or fairy. Logan will be a dragon. Me? Not much into dressing up. What will you be???First off, I don't really know how to start this. I am NOT eloquent in any way. I don't think I am powerful in speech and knowledge. But I do know this. We are living in troubled times. I see it all around me. I have been thinking a lot about the state of our economy. I have friends and family that are losing their jobs and their homes. Inflation is at an all time high...and on the same note...our incomes cannot keep up. I feel like a stay-at-home mom who sits on the side lines watching our Government spend our hard earned tax dollars into the greatest deficit our country has ever seen. I feel like I have no voice, so this is my voice today.
Listen to Barak Obama preach about cutting the deficit in 1/2! All I have to say is...what a hypocrite!
After he was put in office, the big "change" he so publicly preached about began. And that "cutting the deficit in 1/2 crap", became a thing of the past.Look at the History of our country's spending.
A wise man once said......With all of that being said. I love our country! I Believe in the Constitution and our rights. This last video is a must see.
When I was 7 months pregnant we made the move to Laramie. We arrived with no where to live. We knew NO ONE. The Lord made it possible for us to find someone to take our Boise Lease. He also made it possible for us to find an apartment in Laramie. We found one our first day there that was "move in" ready and within our budget. I won't go into the details of Laramie Living. I will say this, I made some really good friends that will be my friends forever. The job was great for Alex. It paid well, and had many opportunities for growth. They really liked Alex. He was a great instructor and leader. We were on our way up. We had our daughter Dejah there, and bought our first house there. We had been there for almost two years when I was beginning to feel "unsettled". My friends were coming and going. I had no family at all. Our vacation time was spent driving to visit family. I was becoming and UN-Happy person.
Lets just remind you all how much I dislike cooking. Yes, its true, but due to "house wife" circumstances, and the fact that I did not marry a chef, I kind of have to. So Friday Night we were invited to Alex's brothers house for a "soup and sweaters" party. It was going to be outside by a fire. I had this big idea to make this soup that is to DIE for! Chicken and Gnocchi soup. They serve it at Olive Garden...and I love it. Thanks to Google, I found the recipe. I went to the grocery store to buy all the yummy ingredients, and of course could not find Gnocchi anywhere. So I decided I would make these yummy balls of Gnocchi by scratch. I get home, back to Google, and I soon learned that my time had disappeared. So, I would not be making soup that day (sorry Christy). The party was fun. We left our kiddos home with my Brother and his wife. The soups were delish. Ok, Saturday I decided to make the soup. I went to my Mom's and she helped me a little. The Gnocchi was new to me and I messed up half of them, but all in all the soup was FANTASTIC! I had to blog about it, because its a bit out of character for me to want to make something. I just have to say...I love Google. I have gotten recipes for any restaurant food that I crave. Its awesome!
