the children

Lamby was turning into my crutch as well as Kaylee’s. So I finally cut the last 1/4 inch off the Lambys. When it was nap time she asked for Lamby. So I got one for her. She looked long and hard for her tag. Then told me, “Tag all gone. Mas Lamby peas.” So I brought her the other two to inspect. It soon became clear that none had a tag. She was devastated! I laid by her while she told me, “I so sad.” And even let her bring a toy to bed to help sooth her. It’s been an emotional week. But Kaylee is actually doing better than I thought she would. The last couple of days nap and bed times no longer mean screaming it out. They do still require one of us laying or siting on her bed. She also wants nothing to do with Lamby now that tag is gone. I figure that’s one less thing for me to have to wean her off of. I have found my self being a more attentive Mama to her as I can no longer use the phrase, “Just a sec Kaylee. Oh, hey. Just go tell Lamby about it.”


Well we got an allergy test done for Regan so I could know what I could feed him without causing a full body rash and the butt vomit. He screamed so loud. But as soon as I was able to pick him up and hold him he was all grins and babbles. He is allergic to milk and wheat (Jon can’t remember if it was just wheat or grains so we will find out tomorrow. He’s at our peds office lots as their IT guy). AWESOME. I had wondered what I was eating that was messing him up. I cut out milk and he was still icky so I thought milk was o.k. I had cut out wheat, and he was still icky. I didn’t think to cut them both out of my diet at the same time. Soooo any yummy recipe ideas for a house that is now egg, peanut, milk, and wheat (possibly grain) free would be so appreciated. I’m not a short order cook so I need family meal ideas. 🙂

Jon’s 28th Birthday!

Jon had two parties this year. Which means I made two cakes. Most of you know that I DON’T BAKE. So two cakes was HUGE for me. And I’m pleased to say they turned out yummy. And to be honest it wasn’t REAL baking. He had Oreo pie on his actual b-day (Wed.), and Oreo ice cream cake for the bigger family b-day party that was the Sunday after.

Jon is laughing because as soon as he and Kaylee finished blowing out the candles she yelled,”mas happy to you!” Translation: she was ready to sing and blow out more candle.


We had dinner with my parents and Sam. We talked, laughed and watched a movie.

Can’t even express what this guy mean to us…. seriously can’t, too choked up….

Productive day at the office

is the subject line of an e-mail from my Hunny. Here is the e-mail for all to enjoy.

So we had a busted LED monitor that we replaced for someone so we tore it apart and made some art out of it.
We added post-it notes, cat-5e, a Dotson model car, a cinnamon candy man, a pen, some CDs, and a lamp (for light and stability) the rest is all LED monitor for a laptop.

This is what the project started as. By the way the hand is in front of the plastic not behind with the metal snake.

I LOVE this guy. He is the best at endlessly amusing me. I have lots of pictures from his birthday (last week), but cannot for the life of me find a cable to get them off the camera. We only have like 5 (seriously) floating around the house. But can a person (me) find one when needed? Nope! (Thank you Kaylee for thinking they are the best toys…) So I’ll have Jon bring yet another one home so I can do his birthday post.
