2 Little Men & Me

What in the world??

2009-01-24T13:26:00.000-08:00

What am I going to do with Kyle??? He just woke up from his "nap" - termed loosely since he never went to sleep - and he has a gigantic HOLE in the knee of his jammies!!! This kid is causing me to go pre-maturely gray. He has already "re-decorated" the nursery by pulling off his wallpaper border, he has managed to stain anything and everything that touches his person by drooling, spitting or throwing stuff, he has proven that he knows how to use his teeth for things other than chewing his food, ruined WOODEN toys that used to be MINE and went through my brother, Alek and a few friends in between (in other words, toys that lasted for 30 yrs until now) and now he is shredding clothes that could be either sold or passed on to #3. Oh well, I guess I will have to go shopping now...
Enjoy the pics...

Stripping...

Alek has been doing it for a while and now Kyle knows how to do it. Just mention the word "bath" and the clothes start flying!!!

Kyle eats with a spoon!

But what a mess he is!!!

He is growing so fast. And he just talks and talks and talks. He runs, climbs, jumps, dances and stomps his feet when he is throwing a tantrum (which is really cute - for now). It amazes me how much he has changed in just 18 months....

Beautiful Warm Winter Days...

Well it's been a pretty mild winter here so far. It was 79 degrees today, though they say we are getting a cold front tonight and it will be 44 degrees for a high tomorrow. But the boys enjoyed playing outside in this nice weather...

Happy Anniversary Baby!

It's been 6 wonderful years of married bliss to my favorite husband. Thank you for blessing me with 2 beautiful boys and being a wonderful husband and a loving father. I couldn't have dreamed up a better mate for myself. My love only grows stronger with time. Cheers to us, our family and our future!

Christmas Day

2008-12-30T20:40:00.000-08:00

Memaw and Pepaw came up from Lake Jackson to spend Christmas Day with us. The boys LOVED the toys that Santa brought them, though Kyle wasn't quite sure what to think when he first came out of his room.

Santa brought Alek a huge firetruck and a huge garbage truck, along with other assorted items.

Kyle got the "Pooh train" and a "fort" along with other things as well. Andy (and the family) got a Nintendo Wii from Santa and I got a waffle maker and several books for me to read!
Of course the grandparents, Uncle Erik and Aunts Lisa & Julia showered them with toys, so now I get to go figure out a way to organize the toy room!!
Grandmama, Mike, Aunt Julia, Erik and Amanda joined us for Christmas lunch and by the end of the day we were all wiped out!
It was a great day and we hope everybody had a great Christmas as well!

Christmas Eve

Sorry I haven't blogged. I have been busy, tired, caught up in the story of a great book...
But alas, here are some Christmas pictures! We had a great Christmas Eve. We went down to Arlington to have dinner with Grandmama and Mike and Mike's family.
Kyle would rather be playing...

Santa...

We took the boys to see Santa today. Alek actually talked to Santa and told him what he wanted for Christmas instead of crying!! Yeah!! And while Kyle didn't cry, it was almost nap time and he was a bit cranky, not willing to smile. Enjoy!

I finally got my Christmas cards in the mail too...What a productive day ;)

...and Christmas Parties

2008-12-19T16:23:00.000-08:00

Well, yesterday we had 2 Christmas parties. Kyle and I went to our Stroller Fit playgroup Christmas party and had a great time. Though by the end it was close to nap time, so the group picture didn't go so well...

Alek also had his class Christmas party. He had a great time as well. Each child made a special Christmas ornament for the parents and the teachers had a book exchange for the kids.

All in all, it has been a great week, but a busy week and boy am I glad those parties are over!

First time...

for Kyle to lick the beater! I made a cake for Alek's Christmas party tomorrow and we let the boys lick the icing off the beaters after dinner. Kyle was NOT happy when it was time to be done with his...

Ahhh, it is done...

I am finally, totally and completely DONE with Christmas shopping. All that is left to do is wrapping. And thank goodness. If I have to go to the mall one more time this season, I will hurt something. As for today, we did go to the mall. Got there at 10:30 this morning. Got a parking space in the covered area, got everything done, kids were good. It was fabulous. Went to get some lunch and holy cow! Bus loads of KIDS...what?!?! Since when do the schools do field trips to the MALL?? So we took a ride on the carousel and got out of there as fast as we could. All in all a very productive trip...whew!

POOP in the potty!!

2008-12-15T11:01:00.001-08:00

Well, a year after my first and only post, I am back online! Thanks to Lindsay for designing my blog! It's perfect! I will try to post every few days, but it probably won't be everday. Just try to remember to check back every so often.

Today was an exciting day for Alek! He actually pooped on the potty for the first time. I don't know why I decided today was the day to potty train him since it hasn't gone so well in the past, but so far so good. He has both peed and pooped today.

Oh and it is below freezing and snow/sleeting here. So I guess I was thinking if we are cooped up might as well make use of the time!

Oh Good Grief

Well, I got sucked in. So here I am in all my glory. I know the title is "2 little men & me" and says nothing about my wonderful husband, but ya know, most days it is just the boys and me.

Alek is obsessed with Santa right now and little Kyle has a little fever...let's hope it's just teething related. Andy is on his way home with a dinner we can't afford either out of our wallets or according to our waistlines, but today I don't feel like cooking.

So, I don't know how often I will be posting as the holidays are upon us already and I still have a lot to do before Christmas gets here....but hey this is pretty cool!

PS: most of my thoughts will be VERY random, so I appologize in advance if I jump all over the place.
