I have been dabbling in photography...It is so much fun!!

Giggle Giggle Giggle Giggle

I had an awesome play time with Alex tonight.. He sat on my lap for over an hour and we just made funny noises and laughed the whole time!!!! My tumy muscles are worn out from laughing so much.. He is such a happy little baby... He also gave me so many kisses...I loved it...
He has also been falling asleep everynight in his highchair.. Once we contain him in his chair he realizes how tired he is.. I will have to post some pictures...

PICTURES!!!

Here are some recent pictures of our little man... He has been doing very well lately... He is RUNNING around the house pulling stuff off shelves, climbing on the furniture and making us laugh at least every couple minutes... I take tons of pictures everyday and I will hopefully be starting his scrapbook here soon. I just have to get all the pictures printed off.
I am working part time at the gas station in Archie and I am just not happy there...I am not meant to work at a gas station but I know it is temporary!! I just have to find a good job before I leave there.
Mike is working alot of nights so we do not see eachother often. Thank goodness he is off for a week starting Saturday. I can't wait to spend time with him!!
I will be working at the daycare a couple days in August so hopefully I can get my foot in the door. I really have to find something that I LOVE to do...
OK well I will start writing more....
I have to clean Alex up.. He just ate some pizza and he is SOOO MESSY!!!



Alex is in the FORT his uncle Jon made for him!! He loves it...

Daddy let him make a HUGE mess with the prunes.... Guess who cleaned him up??

Is this an onery smirk or is it just me??

Walking around the house.....

Big BLUE eyes.....

AHHH HAAAA

I FINALLY have my computer up and running. My poor old laptop. It has been through so much and still seems to be chugging along...I will be able to blog more often now when I am not working. I have taken so many pictures lately and cannot wait to put them up.
I am starting Alex's scrapbook soon so I hope it turns out cute!!
My little man learns new things EVERY day.. He is walking/running all over the house. He talks all the time and LOVES to talk on the phone.. He is such an amazing little person. I will update everyone more later... SEE YA

I am back!!!

Well, I am pretty sure I am back... I have not been taking ME time in the last month since my little man decides not to go to bed at a decent time and the fact that I am exhausted in the evenings. I loved having this palce to come and talk on. It was very stress relieving. So many things have changed in my life it is just crazy. I feel like a totally different person and I don't know if it is the best. Before when I was writing everything was beautifully simple. I went to work, came home and played with Alex.. We just took care of ourselves and had a blast. Well.. I am no longer working at the store and my little sister Emily has moved in with us. I LOVE her being here and she is the greatest..but my load has gotten so much heavier. I am responsible for cooking dinner and responsible for a TEENAGER.. it is just CRAZY... it is WAY more than I ever expected...I do love her... and I am so proud of her.. she is doing great!!
I have started watching 3 kids at my house and I really do like it... It is great because I get to be home and PLAY with Alex all day.. He gets my attention more now than he did at the store. I like that...
My living room has to stay a lot more clean now that I am workin out of it. There are 4 kids in there all the time.. It is a little hectic.. but I like it..
I may be working at the gas station a few evenings a week to bring in some extra money. I am not really looking forward to working around the clock but I am looking forward to getting caught up on the bills.
I am not on my metabolism medicine this month and I am dragging. It really did give me the energy I needed.. I may have to break down and get some..
Alex has started doing the cutest stuff. He talks so much now!!! He says Da Da, Ma Ma, Bye Bye, Uh oh, and Ball.... It is so cute.. He acts like he is talking on the phone.. I just love it.. He is my little man and my life would NEVER be the same without him.. I don't know what I did without him.. honestly....
Alex will be ONE on the first and his party is on the 27th... I cannot belive he is already ONE!!! This year seems like it has lasted a lifetime and then again it feels like just yesterday he is in my belly and kicking me in the ribs.

I want to post pictures but my cable is missing and I cannot upload my pictures without it... darn darn darn....

Ok well I am going to go to bed now... I am going to try and spend at least 10 minutes a night getting on here and posting a little something... I am going to get off and work on making my blankets.. I am making one for Alex one for my sister Renee and one for my Brother Jon.. Then the other one is for someone special...I can't say yet..

Ok well I hope everyone is doing good and everything is going well.. NIGHT

HE SAID "MA MA"

Alex said Ma MA today and I am soooo happy. I have only been trying to get him to say it for 11 months!! He is just the most AMAZING little person!!! Usually when I ask him to say Ma Ma he says Da Da and then just giggles at me . Well today he said Ma Ma and I looked at him and he giggle so loud.. It was unforgetable...
I gotta go.. one of the kids is awake.....
