Calling all teens of the 90's........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does this bring back any memories? Like, O my goodness!!!!!!!
I still can't believe I was sooooooo incredibly smitten with this group...mainly Jordan Knight! I do have to admit that when they start singing ''The right stuff'' I started bopping my head:) Are they really trying to make a comeback? Aren't they....like sooooo old now?hehe.

Look Mom! Chalk shows up better on your car!!!!

Much to my surprise, I found sidewalk chalk all over the side of my car today. I THOUGHT Jake was contently playing in the garage with his basketball while I was starting dinner the other day....but come to only assume he was finding new places to use his new colorful sidewalk chalk!:)
I wonder if my chuckle would not have been such a chuckle if it had been a nice new car with now a few more scratches on it?

And yes....he has been since instructed that writing on the car is a ''non-no''.

Now to work on him NOT enjoying the taste of chalk...hmmm.....

26 week belly

Watch out!!! Look at that big baby in there!!!!

Updates

Okay , this will be short.
Pregnancy is going GREAT!!!! My energy is finally back!!!! I have been doing so many projects around the house and have so many more to get done. I will post my 26 week belly pics soon and pics of the baby room as we get it done. Im really starting to finally show....:)
It has been very hard to be patient for this little one to come....harder as the days go by. Doesn't pregnancy seem soooo long, I mean..it is almost a YEAR!!!! I have been very blessed and incredibly encouraged by talking with some wonderful ''older'' women about this next season that I am about to enter. I am so full of faith that God's grace will be lavished on me and my family yet again as we welcome another into the hasty house! I am a blessed women!!!!!

Peaceful sleep

James took these pics when we thought he was awake for the morning. These have to be my favorite sleeping pics, with that big butt up in the air!!!!!

Daddy Time

This is part of the nightly daddy wrestling/karate fun time. Jake so looks forward when James lays on the floor....he knows it's play time. If you ask Jake what Bruce Lee says...most of the time he will reply with a '''''heeeeee-yahhhhhhhhhh''.

The Tornado

This is what ''room time'' looks like AFTER I come in:) As you can tell, he pulls EVERY single toy out during that short 30-45 minutes. Needless to say, we have ''clean-up time'' right after!
We received the new train table as a gift from the Woods and he LOVES it! It comes with an extensive set of tracks and trains for when he is a little older, for now he has discovered that if he stands on it and knocks on the window, the little neighbor boys will pay him attention! Another great use for the table is a platform to show off his dancing skills:)

Where is my pay check?

This story is great! But even if us stay at home moms were only ''worth'' 10,000$ a year, it would still be the best ''job'' in the world to me!!!! There is NO AMOUNT OF MONEY that could equal spending the day caring for, nurturing, training, playing, kissing boo-boos with my most favorite little-big boy , and doing my best to make my home peaceful and a joy for James to come home to(most of the time:).
I thought I'd include one of my favorite Ginger Plowman quotes about Motherhood in light of now knowing just''how much'' dollar wise we are worth..heheh.

''Being a mom is more than being cook, chauffeur, maid, counselor, doctor, referee, and disciplinarian(to name a few). It's molding character, building confidence,nurturing, training and guiding. There is no calling as consuming, challenging and rewarding. And there is no calling as worthy of our efforts as the high calling of motherhood.

Kisses

Jake loves his friend Emile! They are only 3 months apart and sweet friends! I am not too concerned that he loves to hug and now kiss her when he first sees her, seeing how he is not even two:)
To tell you the truth, I think she finds him rather annoying when he keeps loving on her with hugs and stuff, but he doesn't seem to care!

Someone missing.........

Can't wait to fill BOTH seats!!!


I now have my double baby jogger!!!!! My family I nannie for practically gave it to me. They are so generous! I must admit I have been desiring a lot more these days to hit the pavement and get my runner's high back:) When I see other's running I become a little jealous! I have even daydreamed about what 5k I want to start to train for after baby comes.....we shall see.
Anyhow, I can't wait to be putting TWO little boys in that stroller!!!!
