Word World




Have you seen it! My husband is laughing at me right now because I love this show! Yes it's a cartoon duh! The best one ever! All the animals are made out of letters and they build a word... which means they put letters together and the letters form the object. My kiddo loves this too! I mean what could be better when you are watching cartoons when that cartoon is literally all about spelling! http://www.wordworld.com/ It's on PBS Kids which is one of the new digital channels or it's on cable. We don't have satellite or cable right now just a giant antenna and the converter box! Free HDTV! And you know we really are doing just fine with what we have. We have 11 channels and i doubt we will ever get satellite or cable ever again.

Boys, boys, boys!!!

I love being a mama to boys I really do! Sometimes I wonder if I'm gonna be able to wrestle them both at once lol! I'm sure my creative instincts will kick in and it won't be a problem but I don't really enjoy being a punching bag :) Today I was playing with JW my 2yo and WHACK!!! My nose and the back of his head make contact! Nose makes cracking sound and this mama who has NEVER broken a bone in her body swears that this is #1 broken bone! But no bleeding and not much bruising and hubby assures me it's not broken, lol! Oh but it hurt and seriously for a second I thought I was going to pass out. Now how great would that have been I would have made the head lines "SAHM of 2 found by neighbor passed out with children crying over body" How horrible is that! So that's the latest 'funny' on JW....besides the whole potty training venture but thats another blog subject :)

Now Jace... I can't believe he'll be 2 months this week on Valentines day! He's growing so fast right before my eyes! He can hold his head up pretty well and smile and just started cooing its beautiful and awesome! First of all I cosleep with my kids and love every minute of it. Anyways Jace always sleeps on my bicep and early one morning he leaked through a tiny bit of pee so instead of getting the whole gang up at 3 in the morning I changed his diaper and put a blanket over the wet spot. Good enough and lets get some more sleep. So about 9 the next morning (hubby let me sleep in and got up with JW) I felt the familiar wetness again oh geish I thought but i already knew i was going to have to wash the sheets. So i start getting out of bed when i see ORANGEISH-YELLOW every where! Yes! POOP!! Jace exploded right out of his diaper like the biggest explosion in his short little life! It was hilarious just the full gotta give him a bath then myself a bath and know I'll remember that moment for the rest of my life that little face looking at me like whats going on mom? So that's my life lots of bodily fluids going on in our house of boys and lots a wrestling!

25 Things...

25 Things about Me...

1) I really do love my life right now... I have a awesome hubby and two beautiful...oopps handsome boys a roof over my head and food in the pantry.

2) When I was little I loved playing in the rain! Because that was when all the worms would come out, HAHA!! So i would go to all the mud holes and see how many worms i could collect in my hand.

3) When I was about 7 i used to play in this really cool pond there were tons of baby frogs and lots of different flowers, i used to play there all the time. A few years ago i found out it was a sewer pond! Yeah i was playing in poo!

4) I have totaled two cars! One when was 15 and one when i was 18. Both times all the air bags deployed. I think thats why i get so freaked out when someone else drives even though I was driving when i wrecked.

5) I have been in a private christian school home schooled and then to public school. Hated them all and really did like college and my technical school.

6) I love art! I love painting and just making things with my creative skills. That is why i have a degree in graphic design. Even though i don't use my degree i'm glad to have the experience of college.

7) My senior year in High School I worked as a Nanny. Very interesting! Would much rather have my own kids :)

8) My mom wants to start a new business making jewelry designed by me and my sister. I really thinks its a cool idea and she wants me to make a baby line and a website and I'm really excited about it! She said she's tired of everyone making money off the internet and wants to see if we could profit from it.

9) I would love to go to Germany on my own terms. My sister and I went to stay with my Dad 6 years ago but we didn't get to see all the history making stuff! I would love to go in a few years.

10) We moved to St. Louis/Wentzville in July to try to get a better start and we are still trying. We really miss our family but at the same time we have never got to spend so much time together as a family and i really love that. Kevin can really get to know his boys and not feel like he's missing all the growing up stuff!

11) I just wanted to cry and cry every time Kevin said he was sick or needed to see the doctor when he was sick. I just all reminded me of 2004 when he was in ICU for 4 days and in KU Med for 7 days with no real explination for his illness. I felt helpless but hopeful because i knew that this time we would find a doctor that could help him. And neither of us was gonna give up we were going to figure out what would help him. One of the other reasons i love living here!

12) I am a 1/4 mexican and pretty proud of that! My mom's family is from New Mexico before it was part of the US. Part of my dad's side came from the Oregon Trail.

13) Kevin and I met on a blind date in High School and he became my type lol!! I learned from my Grandpa Stan that it was important to laugh! So I always wanted to marry someone who made me laugh and I pretty much hit the jackpot, LOL!

14) Kevin and I moved in together right after I graduated. My mom hated it but can't really blame her. I still think I made the right decision.

15) I am really passionate about breastfeeding and honestly think it is the best way to feed a baby but understand if it's not possible but really think everyone should at least try if they can. I'm thinking about becoming a Le Leche League Leader when i get the hang of two kids, LOL.

16) I love watching the clouds and stars and just found out JW likes it too. My favorite moment in the past couple weeks was laying on the grass with Jace on my chest sleeping and JW next to me as we watched the clouds pass by and looked for planes...blissful!

17) I really think we all have a purpose in life but that it may change from time to time

18) I love Spring!!! All the pretty flowers and wonderful smells!

19) When I was 12 I had my tonsiles removed

20) I know more Amy's than i can count lol!

21) I have 8 sets of Grandparents! 5 still living... And wish my Grandpa Stan was still here... I really miss him and all our conversations and his great look on life

22) I would love to go snorkeling and learn how to scuba dive!

23) We are trying to eat healthier in our house but i'm starting to despise salad already

24) I got my first tattoo on my 18th birthday and want more. My Dad called me and I told him I was at Walmart while I was in the tattoo parlor parking lot LOL!!!

25) I am going to be a Maid of Honor for the 2nd time in my life for my Little sister Melissa and am thrilled I love all the girlie girl stuff with planning weddings.
