Mom Moment

Do you ever have those moments where you come across something and think, I do not remember putting that there?

Well I had a HUGE moment like that tonight. As I was changing Mr. B before putting him to bed tonight, I come across a link shaped like the letter 'E' IN his pooped filled diaper. Yes, I said IN his diaper. I took a picture of it because really, how often do we come across things like this?!? I even thought for a mere second that I would post it because who would believe me without a picture. BUT, my judgement got the better of me (your welcome) and I decided on a 'clean' picture of links so any non-mother would know what I am talking about.


I can not tell you how quickly I went from confusion "Am I looking at a link?"
To worry "It is not possible for my child to have swallowed that and have it come out the other end...right? and if he was able to swallow that and digest it, does he have any internal damage?"
To reality, "I can not believe I managed to put a diaper on Mr. B with a link inside of it and him not complain the whole time or me feel it while carrying him around."

Oh I think these kids are in trouble these next few months until Brad gets home!

Sorry kids in advance for future 'Mom moments' that could possibly harm, irritate, or annoy you! I do try my best!

Love Mom.



Odds n Ends...

Just a few pictures of what has been going on in our days. Potty training , I am not a huge fan. If there was someone I could hire to accomplish this task for me with my child, I would pay, I mean pay BIG (any takers)! Miss A loves running around in these ENORMOUS plastic training undies. She makes me laugh every time she moves because you can hear all of it with those things! Who thought of these?!?


Mr. B and Bailey have become chums now as she upgraded to the 'one for me, one for you'' club.


Aww, just too sweet. Did not last long before Miss A took the pen out of Mr. B's hand and threw it across the room.


Oh yeah, we bought a camper a few weeks ago. This has been a should we? shouldn't we? pop-up? hard sided? discussion in our house for a looong time......, we settled on this and love it! As you can tell the kiddos are having fun in it already. We of course have not camped in it yet because you kind of need a bigger vehicle than a Mazda or Mini van to pull this thing. Good thing our Mazda is sold, so let the truck shopping begin!

29 Days and Counting,

till you are ONE years old little boy! What a whirlwind and joy this past year has been with you. I am one lucky Momma to get to spend everyday with a smile like this one!!


I never know where I am going to find you if I leave you in a room alone for more than 30 seconds. I have to say I was impressed with this one, under the desk with the chair pulled back in, you talented kid you.....


You will make sure to have every piece of kitchen food, bowls, and utensils out of their baskets and drawers so you do not miss out on playing with anything!!


Ahh, how could I resist when your sister asked to hold you when I got a bottle ready! This did not last more than a minute (on her part that is), but we will take what we can get.



I started you on cheerios one week and the next you were an expert with the snack cup and 10 cheerios in your mouth at a time! Ohhh I have a feeling you are going to eat us out of house and home little boy!


You can do it,.....reach.....a little more....ahh, there ya go! I think you got all but 10 books off of the shelf. This is one of your favorite daily activities, YAY for Momma to get to clean them up at the end of the day!


Here is a fun clip for Daddy! Mr. B is a mover and a shaker now! Can not wait till you get to help chase him around the house.
