2, the new 4.


As Landons big 2nd birthday sneaks up on us rather quick. Holy COW!!!

We're currently experiencing, tantrums, refusal of naps, alot of screaming/yelling, no desire to potty train, and alot of "NO NO!"'s.

I'm not a fan.

I went to change an un pleasant diaper he offered me today, instead of letting me pick him up and walk him to where I was going to change him, he runs away from me. I then get him to hold my finger, for a milisecond. He then throws my hand, walks over to the carper, screams, cries and has an absolute hissy fit.

I WILL NEVER MISS TANTRUMS!

Dear 2 years old, hurry up, come and go and let my boy be!

Hello, Dory.

Do you ever have a "Dory" moment, when all you can blurt out is, "I suffer from short term memory loss". And then you get the glare, of "are ya freakin' serious??", and you space all the time. Hmm, I suddenly have an urge to watch Finding Nemo!

That's when it occures to me, I need a vacation.

With that said, I haven't been on a super vacation in quite some time. I think for my 30th, I'll go to Hawaii, no really, Jeff cleared me too. I think I'll take my kids too. I'd wanted to go to Bermuda, but to fly 3 people there, is ridiculous in the middle of summer. We can go to Hawaii for half the cost, so, that we shall do, and enjoy.

The total irony of this, I had a tangent to go on about spacing out...and I crap you not.


I FORGOT WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY!!!

Oh wait, I remember now! HAHA!

My new lines this month, are: "It's ok, I have socks on!" and, "Bananas, what joy!" Just for the sheer amusement, of people staring at me.

If you can't laugh at life, you are doomed. Seriously.

Starting this month, I shall have random quotes to use when there is an awkward moment. Next month shall be revealed in a few weeks. Please, suggestions are open as I'm drawing a blank....or a sleigh.

Crazy or Ambitious?

I got to looking and editing my photos that I took of my kids, so cute. So HARD to get Landon to smile though, holy cow! I just need to shoot while Jeff's home, plain and simple.

As I was editing them....the thought occured to me. THREE MONTHS TIL CHRISTMAS! YAY! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Wait, it's only September...but who am I not to have things done early? So, with that said, ladies and whoever else reads this, read this and weep..


MY CHRISTMAS CARDS ARE ALL DONE! That's right, I borrowed the Boy Scout motto and wanted to be prepared, and prepared I am! I had a fun time on tinyprints.com and was ooing and ahhh'ing over some of the adorable templates they have, I LOVE the customization. I wanted to make my own templates and all that, but...my creativity does hit it's limits. I already made baby shower invites, my mind is on a block for a while after that.

On another note, this is the most dorkiest thing that I'm excited for. Especially now that I'm in primary, talk about barricaded off from what's going on in my own ward. But..


SUPER SATURDAY IS NEAR!

relief Society puts this on about once a year, and I was kinda "Meh", about it this year...and then I saw a sample...

I know it sounds totally goofy, but I saw this really neat table of like, Christmas ornaments and MEGA creative things the ladies at my ward had put together and were going to offer classes on how to make all these super schnazzy things with basic already-have-at-home items...um.. YAY! Sign me up! So far, I'm going to be making a clock to replace the finnicky one in my bedroom with our last name on it. (CUTE!) and will be doing some glass etching. How many people are glass etchers?! Sign me up, I would LOVE to do more of it!

I already have Jeff lined up to watch the kids and hopefully can go and catch up with some of the few ladies I do know at church who if anything, make me laugh and are fun just to socialize with in general.

On a funny note, I think I love singing time in Primary the most. It's too funny. The chorister is pregnant, and she's open about having "baby brain", I just know that I probably laugh in there more each week, just because of basic things happening, teachers being caught off guard etc. Who knew I'd have the giggles even after the fun was over? I'll sit and think about it, and snicker to myself. All that aside though, everyone in there puts forth alot of time and effort to make sure those little kiddies are listening, it's just funny because their attention span allows so much and it's our job to be as creative as we can. Ahh, little creatures!

Back to School!


AGHH!

Kids grow up too fast, Leenas first day of school today, 3rd grade and I'm slightly clueless as what to do while she's gone. Granted I have alot of laundry to do and so on...but...sheesh, this again for 9mos? I guess I should enjoy it and not wonder?

I told Leena I didn't want the generic school pictures, I can take better ones. She never smiles in her pictures so I end up paying for a a bad picture. So, after begging, pleading, whining, and bribing, she agreed that I could take then.

I'm SOOOO happy with how these come out!! It did take a litle while longer than I had anticipated because she kept giving me fake smiles, but...overall. I have some good ones, here they are!
