Month: April 2010

I was reminded again on Thursday how blessed I am to work with such caring people. I was dreading going back to work all week. Not only being away from Steven and Macy, but knowing how exhausting it would be. Teaching is a pretty high energy job and on normal nights I need a lot… Continue reading Hi ho, hi ho, its back to work I go…

Poor Doug. Every time Macy sees the older boys riding their bikes in the cul-de-sac she runs to the door. Then she knocks on it and yells “hey boys!” I think my husband is destined to go gray early with this girl.

If he sleeps soundly like this, can you imagine how much fun he was in the womb?!

Macy has fallen before and gotten a couple scratches, but this trip to the concrete brought enough blood for me to declare it her first official boo boo. She took it like a trooper and only cried for a minute…and, bless her heart, never dropped the rocks she had collected. By the end of the… Continue reading First boo boo

I went back to work Thursday (more to come on that when I’m running on more than 4 hours of sleep and feel like I can clearly get thoughts from my brain to my keyboard…not happening this am). I was pretty bummed about it Wednesday night, so this is what my sweet husband made a… Continue reading I love my husband

Anyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE saving money and stretching a dollar to it’s limit. Doug and I are going to be starting a strict budget next month, so I’m taking on the task of getting all we need for less money. My friend Conner turned me on to the Money Saving… Continue reading "Couponing" Momma

If I could discipline myself to eat the same meals that Macy eats I’d never have to diet again. It’s horrible that I make sure she eats healthy well balanced meals, but then don’t do it myself. I’m going to start setting some food goals for myself to get on the right track. More to… Continue reading If only…

Steven is rolling over from his stomach to his back.  I can’t remember when Macy did this or when babies are supposed to roll over, but he’s doing it (he’s only supposed to be 2 weeks old today)!  He’s very strong and good at holding his head up (which I think is the key to… Continue reading Rolling over!

As I was putting away Macy’s winter clothes she spotted her snowman (which sounds like “no man” when she says it).  This snowman was given to her by “Uncle Bobby” a long time ago and was hidden nicely in her closet until yesterday.  Snowman plays “Ice Ice Baby” as he dances with his arms and… Continue reading "No Man"

I finally succeeded with Macy’s pigtails on Saturday (but I didn’t get a picture…maybe next time), so today I decided to conquer a ponytail. I bribed her with eggs and toast for breakfast to keep her in the highchair for a while…good idea too because it took me FOREVER to get it up. She looked… Continue reading More hairstyles
