February 9th 2010

Wow. We are almost to mid Feb. and that just shocks me for some reason...

This has been a busy and sad week for us. I took our beloved kitty to the vet and he had to be put to sleep. It was awful and heart wrenching.

He had kidney failure and there was really nothing they could do and no options. He would face a life of procedures and pain and no hope really. I could not bare to have him continue to suffer like that.

I made the choice to hold him in my arms as the vet gave him the medicine to put him to sleep. His last time ever going to sleep. He looked at me as she gave him the medicine and I remember feeling helpless and awful. Telling him it would be okay and that I loved him.
Some may ask why would you choice to be in the room with the cat while they did that. Some would say it is just a cat. Well in this house they may be trouble makers but our pets are part of the family and what kind of mother would I bet to make him face that alone. It was heart. Worst than I ever thought it would be and sometimes when I close my eyes I still see his helpless pleading little eyes looking up at me. He had no idea what was to come.
I have to make peace with the fact that I made the best choice possible for him. I still find that hard to swallow....

Well this turned into a sad blog update. Maybe I will come back later and update more...........

January 24th 2010

January has been a cold busy month here... I feel like the days pass so quickly and before I know it a new month is ready to begin.

Every one is doing well. Despite the 5 day long battle with the stomach flu that we battled last week...=-)

The kids are good. Cute and busy as ever.
William has decided he like to walk places and when he does not feel like he is getting there quite fast enough he drops and speed crawls like no other. LOL

He is going to be 14 months old in 4 days. I can not believe he is that already. My very last baby and it has gone by in the blink of an eye.

At times I miss the fact that we will no longer have any babies in the house, but then I look at the kids getting older and am glad to be able to do fun things with them that I am restricted on doing with a baby around.

William is determined that my bed is the place he belongs at night although Daddy does not agree with him.

Cry it out is the only advice I get and I have to admit I am not a big fan right now. He is my last baby.....

Dylan is going to be 10 in April and we just booked his Birthday part at the Y this year. He wanted to have a pool party and that is what he is going to get. He is soooo excited..

Mason is going to be 4 in less than two months. That is what really surprises me. He is as tiny as ever, but has the biggest spirit and biggest attitude ..LOL

Well I took Yesterday off from house work to attend an out of Town Baby shower for the my niece. I must go now and catch up from all the work that was missed yesterday...

and the house sure does show that I was not home. LOL

Chistmas has come and gone...

Wow it seems like I spent forever wrapping and getting ready for Christmas and in an instant it was over.....=-( The boys had a great time and got so many gifts from out extended family. They got way way too much. I have been opening and putting away toys and clothes for 2 days now and have many many more to go. We had to load the back of Josh's SUV twice to get it all home. That does not even count what Santa got them. I hope they are very grateful to have a Christmas like this......
So now we are moving towards 2010. I am hoping to have a wonderful year. Last year was quite busy with a newborn. I am hoping this year slows down a little bit and gives us more time to enjoy the boys. They truly are wonderful people. We are blessed daily to have them in our lives.........
Well the baby is trying to eat Mason's toy..... So I am off to get him....=-)
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday....

December 19th

Well Christmas is in 6 days and the cold cold weather is officially upon us here.
Burrrrrrrrrr

I am so cold.

So I am no where near ready for Christmas . I do not have a thing wrapped. Not even for the party that we are going to tonight. The baby has been sick. He has double ear infections. A temp of 103.7 and then an allergic reaction to penicillian. So to say the least it has been a cray 2 weeks. I have not even finished shopping and am not even sure what I have and what I need. I think I need to spend the day doing that today. Figuring it all out.........

He turned one....=-(

I tried to keep it from happening.. actually tried not thinking about it and thought maybe it would not happen. I was wrong and it did . On Nov. 30th 2009.... My baby MY LAST baby turned one..... What a big boy. He is trying to walk every where. Luckily he is still using toys and such. Not walking on his own just yet. Where did that last year go? Man..... It brings me to tears.
He had a huge birthday party on Saturday He had a total of 56 people there. It was so fun and he got many many nice things......

Well the big boy is fussing in his pack N play as I type because he does not like being contained any more. I will write more later....
Pictures to come soon.

Thanksgiving Break

Wow. I did it again!!! That thing where I tell myself I am not going to let a lot of time go by before blogging again and before I know it. It has been over a month.
Life is busy and each day is a struggle to keep up. I would not have it any other way though. I look into the eyes of my boys everyday and know that they are truly a blessing.....
Will is going to be 1 a week from today. Man does fly. He is such a sweet curious and lately sometimes naughty little guy. He is precious and def. plays his role as the baby of the family accordingly. He is just a breath of fresh air to me everyday.

Dylan is home for the week. It is Thanks giving break. I never got a whole week off when I was little. Lucky kid. A busy week in some ways and a relaxing week in other. I have so much to do around the house and maybe get the Christmas decorations out on Saturday. The boys always love that. Last year with the baby being in the NICU I was unable to participate in the decorating of the house and that was hard. SO I am going to do twice as much this year and REALLY celebrate.

Mason is getting so independent. I often wonder where my baby has gone. He will be 4 in march.... This is my last year being home with him full time. Next year he will go to preschool a few mornings a week and that breaks my heart. It will be really good for him though......

Well I am off to clean up, stop he fighting and feed the baby. Never a dull moment here...

October 5th, 2009

October is here. My favorite month of the year. It is filled with pretty colors and perfect weather. I love October..... dread what comes next but love October. Today is the typical Sunday morning. Dylan and Mason are at Sunday school and William is napping. I should be cleaning but I am sitting here. William turned 10 months old a few days ago. Looking back I can not even imagine where the last year has gone. Mason has turned 3 1/2 and Dylan will turn 9 1/2. I wish some days that I could slow down the clock. However that is not possible so I just need to learn to keep up and try not to miss a thing. I think we may try to go to the pumpkin place today and get the boys a pumpkin. I would like to find one large enough to take Will's picture inside of since this is the only year that it would work. So cute.
Dylan has practice at 4 and Josh has a football game at 1pm. So we will see how my plans work into their day. They usually do not.... =-) It is a cold damp dreary day and I kind of wish Soccer would be canceled. I know it will not though because it was canceled yesterday. So we will just make the best of it and smile.....=-)
