happiness!!!

ok, so brent has been working in pennsylvania for almost a month!!! i have missed him like crazy, and have almost pulled all my hair out being alone with the kids 24/7... but now that i'm up here seeing brent i miss my kids so much. i literally feel lost with out kadyn pulling on my pant leg, or seeing him run around the corner and i really feel weird from not saying Kadyn no! or kadyn don't touch that!!!

New Chapter

So in the next couple of months we are about to start a new chapter in our lives....we are leaving our comfy nest and spreading out our wings and moving up to Pennsylvania. Now don't think we are just up and moving for the fun of it, we are moving for Brent's job. I'm excited and terrified at the same time!! This is going to be a great chance for us to see how independent we really are, and how strong of a couple we are. now i may go completely insane since i won't have my mom there to help me out with the kids, but Brent is going to have to step up his game and help me out!!!

ok seriously....

So they are called the Alpha, the Man of the house, the bread winner.... blah blah blah. they are so big and mighty and then when it comes to taking care of the kids... wow! they can't handle it. why is that? i don't understand!!!! they can change the hot oil in a car and truck but can't change a diaper! PLEASE!!!! you can feed the dog but not help feed your own kid!! whats the deal here?

how do you soothe a teething baby???...

once they start to teeth i figured it would be a lot easier once that first tooth had popped thru, but clearly that's not how it works. my lil boy is getting teeth 7 and 8 in at the same time. which would be the next two teeth on the outside of his two bottom teeth... i hope that made sense... lol. well the other day he just started getting really fussy and has had diarrhea, on top of a fever. so i thought well he just had his one year shots, which by the way include two live virus shots, and the lady warned me that he would start to run fever. so thats just what i assumed it was. well he just started screaming the other day constantly for like two days straight, and he started waking up at night every two or three hours. so i ran my fingers in his mouth... and what do i find??? low and behold a sharp object is breaking thru the gum in the back where is molars should be!!!! i didn't even kno those could come in this early!!!

my solution to the screaming: and ice cold pineapple spear!! crazy huh??

i couldn't get him to eat his lunch which he loves soft tacos from taco bell... but he wouldn't even touch it!!!

any helpful hints for teething would be awesome!!!!

lil monster and lil vampire...

So i know that you are wondering where those names are from and what they are for... let me introduce you to my kids. before i go on, and just for the record...my husband came up with those names...nice huh?

first there's our lil man Kadyn (the monster). He just turned one in januaray. He's got 8 teeth already learning to bite... in fact he chomped down on brent' leg yesterday morning! lol, glad it wasn't mine. Any ways... he's learning to run like crazy now. he's always getting into things, grabbing stuff off the tables, running off with everyone's phones. thats where his dad came up with his nickname monster. i think its cute. but sometimes he can be a lil monster. but hes a very cute one!!

then there's our lil girl Harlee (the vampire). She just turned 2 months old, i'm sure you can guess why he calls her that... no, she doesn't bite yet. But she does sleep ALL day long and then is up ALL night long. its really frustrating too. she also doesn't sleep in her own bed when we are at home, but she will sleep in her swing. now if we are at my mom's tho she has no problem sleeping at night or in her own bed. So what are we doing different here than at my moms?

now that you've met my kids.... my real question is: Is it bad that we put them to bed with a bottle? I've been hearing a lot here lately not to put them to bed with a bottle. but why? i do know that when Kadyn gets up at in the middle of the night he will take a bottle and go right back to sleep till its time to get up. for harlee that's pretty much the ONLY way i can get her to go to sleep is by giving her a bottle. So if your not supposed to give them a bottle to be put to bed then whats another way of doin it??

a lil about me

well i'm 23 yrs old.... i'm a daughter, a sister, a wife, an aunt and a mother to two. i thought i'd start a blog on here because one my friend does it and is always talking about and making it sound fun and two because i thought maybe i could get some of the thousnads of thoughts and frustations of my daily life out!!! so any thoughts or recomendations would be helpful!!

i love my love so much...being a stay at home momma. this is the first time i've never had to get up to go to work. but at the same time what most people don't realize is that i still do have to get up to go to work. its a lot of hard work to stay at home and take care the lil ones. but for some reason a lot of ppl don't thinl it is. for example like my husband. he doens't understand that i didn't get this or that done because kadyn was running around like crazy and wouldn't take a nap at all today.... he sees it like more of an exuse. but its really not. anyone with kids can back me up... no nap, no me time, nothing gets done.

its also funny that once you become momma what you get excited about. like all the little things that kadyn gets excited about makes me laugh and smile. harlee going to the bathroom (she has trouble going) so when i get excited about it kadyn claps for her! its so cute.
