We did great

At the assembly. Landen even napped~ Logan napped several times. He is such a mellow baby that I was able to sit and enjoy myself.
Today was a good day, Matt's parents were over, and it always makes life a little easier. They are leaving for the summer though, going back home to Maine, until the Fall. I will definitely miss their Tuesday visits.
This weekend my playgroup is having a big Spring Picnic, and I am helping organize it. I need to get my act together and see what I need to do. Ha.
So, I've been reading an old friend from High Schools blog, and enjoying her poetry. I used to write all the time, and I think I did ok.
I was thinking, that I need to do more for myself. I have been cooking, and enjoying trying new recipes. Perhaps the stresses of life will ease if I have a creative outlet.
Life isn't that stressful, yesterday was just one of those days, that were long, stressful, and it was rainy so we didn't play outside.

The boys are making me smile. Logan is laughing, cracking up. It's precious, to hear that. He is a happy smiley boy, and smiles at everyone who says hi to him. It was quite a hit at the assembly, he's a little entertainer.
Landen is a happy boy, loves to entertain too. Probably a toddler thing. When I was all dressed up for the day on Sunday, he said, OOOO la la! Sorry Lolo, I forgot to take a pic! He likes to make jokes, and well, like most boys, talk about poop. LOL. This is something we need to work on, b/c I think its funny, and of course, that only encourages him.

Did you notice?

Not sure if you notice but my blog as changed.... I renamed it. And changed the page. What do you think?

Our first assembly with two

Tomorrow is our first assembly (it's a two day) with two kids. Yikes! Logan is a good boy, and will be easy. Landen is at that age where sitting still is a little easier, but not so much all day. He usually does good for the first hour and 15 minutes at the meeting.
We are also trying to sell our camry, and a guy wants to look at it tomorrow evening. So we will have to leave right away and head home. It's about an hour and a half drive.
I'm excited though, its going to be a good weekend. I have a new dress, and new shoes (that I have been wearing all week to prepare myself-ha!). It's not a nursing dress though, so I will have to just pop "ayah" out to nurse.
And now I am hungry, and will go make a yummy dinner. I love asparagus! mmmmm

Where's my baby?

Who's boy is this?
On Saturday I decided Landen was in need on a change...well, I had been thinking that for a while, but I finally acted on it. I cut his hair. I wanted to give him a big boy hair cut. I am still getting used to it! He went from looking like a little boy, to a big boy!
Here is a before:
And an after:


Wow, huh? I am still getting used to it. I keep looking at him and thinking, he's sooo big!!!

Welbilt abm 3900 breadmaker

I received a used bread maker for family fun day. I was sooo thrilled, but very disappointed to see it came with no manual!!! I know right?
So I searched and searched the net, and couldn't find anyone online, every other bread maker, yes, but welbilt, no! I finally found someone who posted in 2005 that they had one, and posted their email offering to send the pdf if anyone wanted it. I tried to email, and today, a week later, recieved a response!!! AWESOME!!! I am thrilled.

So, I am posting this, b/c it will come in in a google search, and anyone else who is in search of the Welbilt Bread Maker 3900 manual, I now have the pdf. Just leave a message here, and I will email it! How do you like them apples? :)

Sweet boys

My boys are so sweet. I think I am doing a great job with them. HAHA, ok, so they might be a little spoiled now and then, but they are gentle, loving, active, tough, creative. I guess this more applies towards Landen because he is old enough to express those things.
He loves to play with his baby brother. Today I had out the play mat and Landen always runs over and talks to him and shows him things. It's rather touching. He is gentle, and sweet. He tells him great job too! I just can't help thinking that he's learned to be this way from copying others he has seen act this way. (me, hubby, ect)
But then there is the point about him being a wuss. He is tough, he likes to wrestle, and keeps playing when he falls. His feelings get hurt when someone says, go away, don't play with me, but hey I say that's normal. I think he is doing ok, I am proud of him, and nah, he's not to wussy if you ask me. Heh.
Recently we had a family fun day, and had a LOVELY time. We got eachother gifts, and I made a yummy tasty strawberry cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting. We had baloons, and just a blast. It was great. We don't celebrate the holidays, and I want to make sure the kids always have something special for them to look forward to, and don't feel left out.
I am part of a playgroup that is mostly non-JW people, and the past few months have had several holiday playdates, which we of course skipped. Landen didn't miss out on it though, b/c he didn't know. It's been great for him to be with the kids though, especially as there really aren't many in our hall. (or any)
Logan is doing great. He is getting big. He is about 3.5 months old, I've already lost track of the weeks, nice huh? He STILL sleeps right through the night, and naps well during the day. He is patient. He actually can sit up a little by himself, rolls from back to tummy, but only the other way with a bit of encouragement. He is laughing, smiling, talking A LOT, just an all around happy baby. Whenever I get him laughing he gets the hiccups though.
We are still dealing with thrush issues. I tried the gentian violet, and then the stuff the dr. gave us. Time for something else I guess. One of these days I will test his blood sugar. His daddy is a diabetic and I read that frequent yeast infections is a sign of diabetes. Though I don't know if this one counts b/c he has had it since birth,and its never fully gone away.
Anyway, I will post pictures soon, I think Landen might be awaking. Thanks for reading.
