Holiday Traditions Festival

Another holiday tradition is the opening of gifts. We do ours a little early since we have a blended family. Jeremy usually spends Christmas with his dad, and Christopher and Anthony will be with their mom. So we opened a couple gifts Thursday night, and the rest were opened Friday morning. We had originally [...]

Birthday Montage

Preston had a great 1st birthday. At first, Preston didn’t know what to think about the cake. Once he tasted it though he was eating it until he was gagging. Poor baby! Maybe we shouldn’t have tried giving him the cake so close to the big meal we had. We [...]

Happy 1st Birthday, Preston!

I had already posted how I found out I was pregnant with Preston in this post, but I never really told his birth story.
Throughout my pregnancy, we had planned on a December 22nd birth. I had a doctor who liked to schedule inductions, but wouldn’t if the mom was against it. Being that both [...]

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Gabi is loving her time with Nana and Papa being here. She is constantly sitting right between the two of them making sure she keeps both of their attention. My mom even tried to ask Gabi if she could give Preston a hug or a kiss just to see what she would say, and her [...]

What Is This?

What you can’t see it very good? How about this picture?
Upon seeing this, I immediately yelled for my oldest child by his full name. Of course, your in trouble when your mom calls you by your full name. You see Jeremy is annoyed with Gabi when she comes home from school and immediately goes to [...]

Ogre Babies

Most mothers would be mortified if anyone compared their baby to a little green ogre baby. I, on the other hand, have thought for months that the little ogre baby from Shrek the Third looks just like my Preston. I’m not sure which one he looks the most like though. Even their cute little laughs [...]

Holiday Traditions Festival ~ Week 2

I remember every year, my mom and I would go shopping and we would always pick up a few new ornaments to add to our tree. Sometimes the ornaments were reflective of ourselves, sometimes reflective of the holiday, and sometimes just because we thought they were beautiful.
Usually, our ornaments each have a story behind [...]

An Anniversary of a Different Sort

Usually anniversaries are remembrances of happy occasions. Today marks the 1 year anniversary of a different kind. Last year on this date, it was a Friday. It was very much like any other Friday. I woke at 4:45 am to get ready for work. I was nauseous since I was still having morning sickness at [...]

Child Locks and Racing To Grow

Yesterday, I mentioned how Preston is keeping me busy now that he is on the move. Well, last night, he crawled into the kitchen as I was making dinner and opened the bottom drawer of my kitchen cabinets. It’s not just any drawer. It’s a drawer with child locks on it! He not only did [...]

Ramblings of a Blogging Momma

The title above sounds like the name of a blog, but basically that’s what I did with this post. I went from one subject to another in a rambling manner. So bear with me and my ramblings, okay?I don’t know what was going on with Blogger, yesterday. I was only getting about one out of [...]
