Back to blogging

I dont know how I let this get so far behind--oh yeah because I STINK at stuff like this!

Anyhow here's the last 4 months in a nutshell---me not being able to breathe, chasing two kids, getting to look like the size of a large tank. 35 more days to go! PHEW! I swear this is my hardest pregnancy BY FAR. There's really going to have to be some baby amnesia to talk me into that 4th one!

I am SO ready for Christmas to be over too--mainly because I'm SUPER excited to give the boys all the gifts we got them this year, and it sucks not having my dad here to share it with :( I know he'd be having a BLAST with them this year as they have grown up so much :(

Some recent pics I may not have shared in other places :)



Buncha goofballs






Landon's Christmas pants :)



pre haircut--it was getting a little long!


my 33 week belly--I need to take a new one!



Andrew getting in on the pic taking action LOL


A knit headband


and a newborn set :)



Coming soon....pics of all of Kellen's cloth diapers! I cannot wait to hold my new little man!

18 months?! And some other updates!

I cannot believe my little baby boy is 18 months old! He sure doesn't act it! LOL He still tumbles or runs into things when he walks, he's such SUCH a clutz. But he is talking like a maniac. Mostly just like a parrot when his brother says stuff. He amazes me every day, I so underestimate my children's intellegence. When other people say "Oh my child said a full sentence at 16 months he's a genious" I generally tend to underthink it. I guess it's a big accomplishment considering Andrew was nearly 2.5 before he said anything in a sentence you could understand. He IS very athletic also compared to Andrew, though Andrew is getting much better. He can certainly chunk a ball w/ a degree of accuracy that Andrew learned way later. He climbs on EVERYTHING too which Thank God, Andrew never did.
But under all that brute looking boy is a squishy little baby that loves his mama! He curls up with me on the couch in the afternoons and we watch Jacks Big Music show before his nap. he will turn around and give me kisses (all kisses are accompanied by a huge MUAH! LOL) and hugs and continue to sit there and watch his show and shake his tubby little body to the music LOL I adore him more every day.

Andrew starts school next week!! Bittersweet, though it will be nice to not have a 4 yr old up my butt 24/7, I will also miss it I'm sure! He's SUPER excited about it. He keeps counting down the days! I also signed him up for a fall baseball league that he's excited about also. He keeps telling me he gets to go play baseball with some friends. Baseball is a huge form of obsession lately. I need to get a video of it, but Andrew will bat and Landon will pitch him the ball! It's amazing. My own little baseball team. Now we need a little catcher...dont worry I'm cooking one for you guys! LOL

Anyhow, here's some pics from the past few---well MONTH since I updated last!


He's digging for gold!


Andrew being good at taking pics lately!


My big boy, 4 in just a few weeks :(



Rare moment of my kids looking at the camera


Landon modeling a cloth diaper



And a pair of knit pants I finished for a customer! I love the heart pocket, so I hope she does too! She also got a bracelet which I will take a pic of I promise, I made myself one too!






Also finished this top for a customer, and Landon is getting one w/ blue I love it too!





That's it! I have a Hello Kitty custom I'm almost finished with and a few diapers I need to take pictures of. I'm TRYING to wait to find out what it is, but I have tons of boy dipes cut out so if it's a girl she's going to have to get over it LOL

I want his life!

Landon's little spoiled butt LOL He sleeps as late as he wants to, anytime he cries he gets immediately coddled, and he eats w/ his feet propped up on the table.
He's growing up so so much lately. This week he learned to climb on the couch, and scale the baby gates. I dont care what anyone says, life is not over after your child starts crawling/walking---it's when they start CLIMBING that life is over. He can pretty much get to anything now that you "put up" so he couldn't reach. AHHHHH!!!! Save me!!

He's also gotten really into telling his brother off. Which I cannot help but let him do since he's talking now, after all, he learned from his brother talking to HIM like that!
So this is what my day sounds like

Andrew: "I said NO Landon!"

Landon "NO Do!" (no Andrew) "stop that!" "go away!"

Andrew: "Excuse me, what did you say to me?"


ROFL I really cant help but laugh


Here's Landon enjoying a snack the other day, with his feet up on the table.


Check out the feet!


Silly boy



Next post will be knitting stuff!

We have a baby boy!

Ok well at least that's what we think right now! I know it's too early to be 100% certain but it looks a lot like a boy down there for now! She said boy then changed to girl when we told her we did the hokey poky 4-5 days before I ovulated. I think her original guess was correct though as I look at the pics, looks just like Landon! So more than likely more blue for our future! At least I have a TON of boy names picked out!

Here's our one good ultrasound pic! He's stretching out his little leg!

Weekend at the river

Well you could SEE the river, it's down pretty low and apparently when that happens there are lots of snakes so I decided it probably wasn't a good idea to take the boys down there.
DH's parents renewed their vows for their 40th wedding anniversary this past weekend. We went to Seguin to shop, I mean celebrate with them! It was pretty fun, Andrew had a blast getting into trouble with his cousins. Landon fell off a bed. I got bit by a spider. Tons of fun.
We did do some shopping on the way home which was pretty eventful. And I ate way too much food.

Here's some pics!

Landon and daddy, he's getting so big. And he's in the "dont look at the camera stage" now :(


Again, best I could get of them together. But shows how BIG Landon is! Again I have no idea where that kid came from. I'm convinced he was switched at birth with those blue eyes and looking nothing like his brother!


Andrew cheezed it up for me, I bribed him jibbitz for his crocs. Our new obsession LOL






My spider bite (at least I THINK that's what it is) it itches like CRAZY but it's not like a bump or a mosquito bite for sure. it itches all the way INTO my muscles so much that my neck was itching INSIDE the skin today. It's killing me! I have taken benadryl like a loon!



I did manage to get some knitting done while we were down there!

This is for the new baby, it will be pants



And some handspun yarn custom longies for a customer that are taking forever b/c they are HUGE! :)


I have some pics from the wedding to upload. I will probably post them tomorrow.

And Thursday we have an ultrasound! I'm excited to see the baby and hope everything is growing ok! :)

Updates, 4th of July, and some customs!

Not much going on here, still SICK but I hope it subsides soon! I do feel like I have a tad more energy---though that's not a good thing, this energy gave me enough to make a cake that I've eaten 1/2 of so far!

Landon got a haircut this week. It's so hot I just decided to shave it---bad decision, he looks so old :( I hate it!

Andrew learned how to hit a ball with a baseball bat this weekend! I'm impressed since *coughDHcough* no one ever works with him! He must have mommy's hand/eye coordination! LOL

4th of July was fun. We went to see the fireworks and BOTH kids loved them! Andrew kept calling it "Landon's Happy Birthday" No idea, but we kept telling him it was America's Birthday--he wasnt having that. It was all for Landon LOL
Oh and the baby in my belly grew a pee pee, he's saying it's a boy in my belly now. He's so wishy washy! LOL

Heres my 10 almost 11 week belly!


Landon's hair :(



What happens when my kids are being sweet w/ each other...


Cheeseball





The newborn hat I FINALLY finished--Landon already ripped off the tassel though--I'm going ot have to secure it in there better



My friend's soaker w/ a ruffle butt



I'm about to do some newborn pants stiched like this! I CANT WAIT! I need to finish up my customs first!

A few fun things this week!

After getting some zofran prescribed to me I managed to feel human enough to allow myself out of the house a bit this week! I still feel like someone beat the crapola out of me but at least I'm not wanting to chunk my food up in the process so YAY! Hurry up 1st trimester! What 3-4 more weeks? Like morning sickness really leaves at 13 weeks! One can only hope

ANYHOW, Daddy made the last minute LOVELY decision of going to the Rangers game last week. It was oh, I'd say about 180 degrees outside and we had great seats! Yeah RIGHT IN THE SUN. 1st row to the SUN seriously. So until the sun sat behind the stadium we all fried like bacon. Well I fried like bacon, my kids were blessed apparently with the ability to not fry. Anyhow I think I've blogged about the game (did I mention in that one that it was hot) So here are the pics!

Look at this poor baby!! Dont worry he didnt burn, he just turns rather red when he's hot :) And he'd flippin TAN anyhow! (i'm so jealous!)



Andrew and Daddy watching the game, Landon wondering why the fireworks arent going off anymore?


OK is it time to go yet?




Today, against my better judgement since yesterday I had some spotting, but I feel like it's nothing really, we took the kids to the water park. I'm glad I did, sitting in the water felt sooo good and Brad pretty much handled on the boys so I just kind of relaxed :) The boys had A BLAST, even Landon was trying to swim! I did not fry, I brought sunblock. The boys are starting to get a tan this year, watchout---someone will think I stole them!

Oh and kind of funny, when we got there I noticed this little girl---maybe about Andrew's age or older, had her swimsuit off and I'm watching her like that is weird. Suddenly she's wiping her butt and putting her POOP on the side of that big water slide thing!!! OMG! FREAK OUT! LOL Anyhow, they shut down that part of the pool for AN HR while they sanitized it. I was like "Andrew, do not open your mouth!" GAG GAG GAG

My big boy lounging with his mama eatting some snacks :)



What WOULD have been a decent pic, had someone's fat finger (and not mine) not found it's way towards the lens changing the focus to said finger



Dont let him fool you, he ran around there like a wild man!



Andrew, in a rare non blurry moment--he was all over the place!



The boys playing



LUVS for daddy! :)
