Being a Writer

I've recently started a new endeaver. I am writing for an online baby magazine called Peekaboo Picks. I've already had one article published and this week I submitted my second one. It's very exciting! For me anyway. Check me out at www.peekaboopicks.com

Half a year!

My little man is 6 months old! Wow, time flies. Here is his official set of big boy pictures. Isn't he such a doll?

Workin' like dogs!

Mommy is in town this week and as always, we got ourselves involved in an extensive project. Whenever we get together we end up tearing up some corner of her house or mine. This time it was mine. After about 3 days of very hard work we turned this musty utility room into my very own craft room! I'm thrilled with it and I know it never would have been possible without my mommy!

Updates and Rambling

It's been a while since I've posted. I hate it when I let that happen. Unfortunately, time tends to get away from me a lot. But I've got a good excuse with three young children and all. The irony is, without them, I would have nothing to write about at all.



This past weekend was exciting. Darrin had to go out of town for a basketball tournament so my friend Carly, who's husband was also coaching at the tournament, moved in for the weekend with her two boys. She has a 17 month old and a 2 month old. It was baby central around here and poor Jordy-Roo was outnumbered by all the boys.



Carly and I spent the weekend catching up on our scrapbooking, drinking hot chocolate and breaking up the fights between all of our toddlers. At one point we heard her son, Trenton, crying and we found him in a pile at the bottom of the stairs and when we looked up to the top of the stairs, there was Jordan, holding his sippy cup. Trenton wasn't hurt so it was pretty hilarious.



Jordan made great strides in her potty training this weekend. She is starting to tell me when she has to go but then she runs away because she doesn't actually want to go. She wore little underwear all day today. It was a big mess.



Little Joshy is over five months old now and he is still growing at a rapid pace. He is so funny and giggly. He loves to smile and laugh and chew on anything. He found his feet the other day but despite a good effort, he still hasn't managed to eat them.



Jaycob is getting pretty sassy. He's testing the boundries with talking back but I think he's starting to regret it. 'Nuff said.



I think we are all getting very antsy for winter to be over. We've been pretty cooped up because this winter has been colder than normal. It's been hard for us to get too worked up about global warming here where it's been in the negative degrees for the past couple months.



My mommy is coming for a visit tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. Her visits always fly by so fast. Hopefully we can find some fun diversions even though it will be bitterly cold the whole time she's here.



That's about it for now. I leave you with this picture of Jordan asleep. It was taken last night around 11pm. She is Snoozer Jr.

New glubs!

Grandma Diana recently went on a business trip and came back with new hats and mittens for the kids. Unfortunately, she forgot that all my children have giant freak heads. So the hats were a little too snug. Perfect opportunity for a snapshot though! Jake has a little bit of lunch on his face but still a cutie!
