Fall 2009

Well fall 2009 has started off down right cold!! I can't believe my boys are wearing winter coats, hats and mittens already!!

We have an exciting next couple of weeks ahead of us. This week Jacob has a field trip to the pumpkin farm, then we are going to our favorite pumpkin farm on Saturday as a family. My brother comes home on Sunday and we couldn't be more excited about it! It has been 6 months!!

And then we find out what little squish is going to be on Tuesday!! I am beyond excited, no matter what this baby is! I just want to put a name to the little bumps and kicks I am receiving inside my belly!

October is one of my favorite months so look for lots and lots of pictures from all the activities will be participating in!!

More on preschool

Well since Jacob has been there for 2 weeks I figured I'd do a follow up on preschool. I drop him off every morning and Logan goes right for the fish tank. I usually help Jacob put his bag in his cubby and then sit him down at his desk for his morning activity. Then I have Logan say "bye bye" to the fish (which is the only way I can get him to leave) and he gives Jacob a hug and a kiss and we leave. Jacob never even looks back :) Once we get in the car, Logan pats on Jacob's seat and says "Jake" while being very confused as to why Jacob isn't with us. When we pick Jake up, Logan goes right to the fish tank again and I help Jacob gather up his papers and his bag. On Tuesday I asked the teacher how Jacob was doing and she said "He's doing great, but he gets a little distracted from time to time." I said to her "Uh, he's a boy and he's 3." Well then I saw their class photo on their website and this is what I saw:
Notice Jacob in the background in the green stripes...completely oblivious to what is going on :) Ok ok so maybe he does get a bit distracted :)

On Thursday I went to get him and his teacher told me that he had a little accident. He asked to go to the bathroom and the teacher waited outside. Well Jacob hasn't really mastered buttons yet, and mommy decided to put him in his cute little Gap Jeans without teaching him out to unbutton them himself. Poor guy came out with went pants because he couldn't do it. So I gave his teacher permission to help him until we learn. Bad bad mommy :)

He never tells us about his day until hours later, usually at the dinner table. He told us what kind of snack he had and then proceeded to tell us his teachers names! I was so proud of him for knowing them already!

Then I asked him what he learned and he told me that the letter M made the "mmmmm" sound and that he learned that Jesus made the peoples :)

So far so good in the land of preschool :)

First Day Of Preschool

Jacob had his first day of preschool on Tuesday. It was a smooth transition and he didn't even care that I was leaving. I was fine since I was still at the school since the parents had to attend a parents meeting. Thursday when I took him and dropped him off he just said "Bye mom, love you" and that was it. I was fine until I got in the car and Logan tapped on Jacob's car seat and said "Jake?" I cried like a little baby.

But then I picked him up 2.5 hours later and he was fine! He talks about how much fun he has and how he wishes he could go everyday. It seems like just yesterday he was a little baby and now he's such a big boy. There is this song that my mom and my aunt talk about the all the time and I swear it brings me to tears every time I hear it.

"Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink"

Here comes another one....

Well almost all of you know already but I thought I should record this in my blog. We are expecting our 3rd baby! We found out almost 2 weeks ago. I started feeling a little queasy and it had lasted almost 3 days so after working out with my aunt one night I went and got a pregnancy test. Ok I am a pee on a stick addict and I've seen so many negative tests that I almost didn't look. Before I was even done going I look down and there were to clear positive lines! I freaked! Brad freaked and told me to go get a digital just to be sure. So I ran out and took it and this is what we saw:

So there ya have it! We are thrilled! I am very very sick with this baby so I haven't got to excited yet, but I'm sure it will come. First step in this adventure is buying a van. We are going tomorrow night to look!

I had my first appointment yesterday and I have to say I love this new place. I am delivering with a midwife again. They got me on some medicine to hopefully help my sickness and then I had an ultrasound. Little Squish looks healthy and great! Heartbeat was 132.

So here goes our crazy life :)

Yah me!

I don't ever blog about myself because honestly nothing ever exciting happens to me. I started weight watchers a week ago. I have been really strict on myself...even giving up pop completely!! Well it all paid off because in my first week I lost 5.6 pounds!!!! I got my special 5lb sticker and a little "hooray party" It was so exciting! I actually almost cried when she asked me what this meant to me and I explained how it's been really hard getting pregnant this time around because of the extra weight I am carrying and all I want for Christmas is to lose my 35lbs and get pregnant. It was bittersweet! So yah me! I'm off to a great start!!

I suck at blogging

I'm trying to blog more, but by the time I remember to get on here to write one of the kids needs me and well you know how that goes.

The boys had their doctor's appointments today. Jacob was there for his 3 year appointment. When we got in the office he said "Where is Dr. Haider" It was so cute because it was the first time he ever remember his name! Which I love since he is going to preschool and will know this one his own! Oh yah and he also knows his full name, his mom and dads full name his brothers. Ok ok off track. Jacob loves stepping on the big boy scale! He weighs 36lbs!! He is 38' tall now, too! Everything went well and Jacob got his medical go ahead for preschool!

Logan was there for his 18 month appointment. Oh how Logan hates the doctors. As soon as the nurse asked him to sit on the scale, he screamed. When the nursed took his temp he cried. When the nurse measured his head, he screamed. Oh man and when he had to lay down to be measure he freaked out! But of course as soon as they are done he is peachy! He wasn't to sure about Dr. Haider until he saw his big brother give him a hug. Then it wasn't to bad :) Logan had to get one shot today, but he did awesome! Of course the sucker afterwards helped! Logan still weighs 24lbs! He has been 24lbs since 11 months old! He is 32".

So both boys are growing like weeds and doing well! We are trying to enjoy our cool summer and anxiously waiting our favorite time of year, fall and winter!! We are so excited for Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas with the boys this year!!

Stayed tuned for pictures!

Summer 2009

Summer 2009 is already flying by so fast! I feel like I never have a minute to update this. I'm going to try some more because I want to try and print this off at the end of the year for the boys' scrapbooks.

Let's see what have we been doing? We had a surprise birthday party for my dad on the 3rd of July and then afterwards we all went to the fireworks. We got there at 6:30pm and the fireworks didn't start until 10:15pm so I was a little worried how the boys would be for 4 hours. They were awesome! My dad took Jacob to go get his face painted but he chickened out and got his arm done instead.
Logan had a blast rolling around all over the ground. He was dancing to the music and waving at the all the people! Logan also had a first at the fireworks! Funnel Cake! He sat down with Nana and Aunt Misty and loved it! He was taking his little pieces and dipping it in the powdered sugar! So cute!
Stay tuned since we are hopefully planning our first camping trip soon!
