Jeremy's School Art-work!

I'm cleaning off the refrigerator (that was a hard one to spell, lol). Here are 2 little projects Jeremy did in preschool. I just love when they send home the cute artwork :).

FINALLY!

Lizzie finally got a tooth!!! It came out on 1/24/2009 at 8 months and 12 days old. It's a sharp little thing and as soon as it's visible you know I'll have a picture posted! We need a few more teeth so she can start enjoying "real" food because this girl loves to eat!

For Mia, Ami and Kim

Lizzie is waving "HI" to her favorite aunties!!!

A Peanut Allergy???

No more peanut butter in my house! We discovered today after going to the doctors that Jeremy is allergic to it. I've been saying it since he was probably 18 months old but never knew for sure. After a scare at school last week I decided to take him to the doctors and they confirmed that yes, he does have an allergy to it. One that he will probably never out-grow. Poor kid, growing up w/out peanut butter and jelly will probably be hard. Luckily he does not like peanut butter so we don't have to worry about eating it but it is hidden in lots of things so I worry. Also, his last scare he never even touched the stuff and had a reaction.

We go to an allergists soon where they will give us an epi-pen in case he somehow has another reaction to it.

I know nothing about food allergies so I'll be busy doing lots of research on it. This sucks!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Yesterday was my mom's birthday. I didn't have a chance to give a shout out to her! She's excited that she turned 55 because she can now get a senior citizen discount, lol!

Another birthday yesterday was Lizzie's 8 month day! She's doing great. She's getting up on all 4's and rocking and she can go back but hasn't figured out how to crawl forward. Still no teeth, I can see them but they won't pop out!

So Happy Birthday to 2 of my favorite girls!

Dear Toothfairy

Dear Toothfairy,

Jeremy has decided that he does not like you. He does not want you to ever come to his house. According to him, you came while he was sleeping and smacked him in the face and tried to take all of his teeth. So we ask you to please stay away until he forgets it, haha!

No more excuses!

So today is the day I start my diet. Isn't if funny that the word DIE is in Diet. I feel like I could die already, EWWW!!!

I am almost 8 months postpartum and still have about 15lbs to lose. It's not the weight that's bothering me, it's the fact that my stomach still looks 3-4 months pregnant. I hope that I can make some better choices on what I eat and drink and exercise some more so that I can shed this weight off before August! I can't have my sisters looking better then me forever, lol.

Now if the weather would warm up so I can get outside and walk or ride bikes with the kids things would be much easier. Right now I'm making due with exercising indoors.

Oh, and I've only had 2 cups of coffee today compared to my 4 or 5 I usually have.

Wish me luck!

Christmas Continued

After we opened gifts at our house we went over to my moms house for a late lunch or early dinner and opened gifts there. It was so nice. Mia and Kim were there with Al and Curt and Rockstar too!

Sleepy Lizzie:


Thirsty Mia?


Keep pouring Al


I love how the flashes made this photo come out!

Christmas Day

He came!!! Look at all the gifts Santa left for the kids.



I woke up about 8:00 am. I decided to let the kids sleep b/c I knew it would be a long day. At about 9:30 I was pacing. I could not believe the 1 day it is ok for them to wake up early they decided to sleep in. At 10:15 I could not take the waiting any longer. I went upstairs and whispered in lil Jeremy's ear that "Santa Came". He opened his eyes and said "Did he leave me presents". Priceless!

So we headed downstairs and heard lil Jeremy say that Santa left him "Millions" of gifts! He ripped right in to the gifts, shouting "Clippo, A Game, Blocks, oh wait, this one is for you Lizzie" (since it had a girl on the box, lol). He said Santa brought him everything he wanted. His favorite gift by far was the Hulk aka HOG mask. Oh, and the Krabby Patties in the stocking, lol!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was so nice this year. We went to Jeremy's moms house for Christmas Eve dinner and gifts. The food was so good, she goes all out every year, Thank you Ann!

The kids looked so cute. You'll have to excuse the crappy pictures of lil Jeremy. He's going through a "Don't take my picture" phase.

We ate dinner and as soon as we were done Jeremy's cell phone rang. He had to go to one of his rentals to fix a pipe. So we had to wait about an hour and a half to open presents. lil Jer was so patient! Mommy was proud!
Grandma spoiled the kids (and us!) like always! lil Jeremy got the Little Tikes Giddyup N' Go Pony! It is so cool.

When we finished up there we came home and got the kids ready for bed, hoping that Santa would come that night little Jeremy fell asleep. Lizzie on the other hand was up until about 12:30. I guess she was too excited to sleep :)!

The start of the Holiday

Well, I have not had any time to update my blog. We've been running crazy for the past 2 weeks. Finally I have a minute to sit down and update this!
It all started on Wednesday 12/23 when we met Mia and Al at Nemacolin's Wildside! This place is awesome! Anyone in this area needs to go there. Lots of fun for kids and adults! They have so much to do, games, a climbing wall, bowling and a big bar with lots of good food! I did take more pictures but my camera sucks and they came out too dark, sorry. Mia, Al, JW and my mom all climbed the wall. I have to say, Mia was the winner for sure!!!
