Thanksgiving!


So Yesterday We hosted Thanksgiving. We ended up having 30 people at our house. We had a great time. We had a southern style Thanksgiving. We even order a Smoked turkey and a brisket from Coopers Barbecue in Texas. It was a huge hit, and oh so Yummy! I had also purchased some Nuvo a great girlie drink! Which is also Brook Shields favorite drink. I understand why! So after all the hustle and bustle and everyone left let the games begin. We get the kids to bed, and we get tucked in to bed. About eleven o'clock my mom comes in and tells us Tyler Can't breath. I go down stairs were my dad is trying to console him. I try to give him some medicine but he is not having it. I take him up to our bed and i still can't get him to calm down he is tugging at is ears and screaming. We turn on Toy Story cause there is nothing Like Woody and Buzz to make life better. He finally stops crying. Brian and I proceed to fall asleep when at 1:20 am, Tyler starts screaming again. So make the story short I proceed to the hospital with him kicking and screaming. When we get there he wants nothing to do with anyone. He has the start of an ear infection, sore throat, but his airway was narrowing so they decide to give him a breathing treatment. This was really cool to Tyler cause he got a dinosaur mask and could breath smoke. He is fine now just on benedryl, antibiotics, and an inhaler. He got some sleep and as good as new!

The Eleventh Hour




So Dylan decided yesterday at 3am that he wanted to stay up until 12:00 in the afternoon. The entire time he only took about two 30 min naps. Then he slept while i drove Tyler to school and back home. Did he stay asleep nope but on the way to pick up Tyler he took a cat nap. We get home and he stays up! So my life right now is one up one down! Because at this point Tyler is sleeping. So Tyler wakes up about 5:30 pm. Around 6:30 Dylan is getting CRANKY so I make a bottle, turn on cartoons for Tyler, and proceed up stairs with Dylan He snakes on his bottle and around 7pm goes nightie. It was 5:30 am when i here a cute little cooing noise. It was my sweet baby he sleep for almost eleven hours. Yeah, but as I am talking i have a present he wants to give to me so I must go back to mommy land!

If You Live In Texas This is a must

I have a friend who is a photographer in Texas. She lives in the Valley but she does absolutely BREATHTAKING photography. I get emotional when I see them! So If you or someone you know is Getting Married, Pregnant, Have Kids, Or just need pictures done She is the one to call on. We were lucky enough to have her take Tyler's pictures when she was visiting her family up here when Tyler was 2.
She is so good that if I won the Lottery she would be on my payroll if you don't believe me just check her work out at http://signaturecollections.blogspot.com/ . You will be Amazed at the awesome Talent and natural eye she has for photography. If you do have her take your pictures just tell her I sent you. I will get nothing for it but the enjoyment of knowing you have wonderful and memorable photos. I even asked my husband if we could get remarried so she could take our photos. You can imagine what is answer was. LOL

Our first night of Sleep










So this morning I wake up and I look at the clock 7:58am. First thought I don't remember hearing Dylan crying.
In a slight panic I turn to Brian and ask
"Did you get up with Dylan?"
Brian "No"
me "Neither did I"
I turn the Monitor on and can not see Dylan. I jump up and go to his room. Only to find him laying there chewing on his hand. He looks up and gives me a big smile. I grab him up and give him a big mommy kiss and say "Your first night sleeping through, what a big boy you are!" I proceed to change his diaper and carry him down stairs. We then celebrate with Peaches for breakfast.
I have a feeling there are still going to be those 4am feeding but Dylan must have known Mommy and Daddy really needed the sleep. My message to Dylan: Thank you son, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Did I mention Thank you?
And her is a picture of our momentous occasion!

This is Dylan's Political view at three months. He will probably grow up and be in the young republicans! lol

Tyler's Melt down

So today I had a client coming over for a color, she has 4 kids but she only had her 4 year old and 2 year old with her today. This worked out wonderful for Tyler he finally had someone to play with besides Sydney (our mini dachshund). At about 11:30 it was time to go to preschool. Tyler was not having it he wanted to stay and play with the other kids. It could not have worked out any better cause at that time The kids grandpa came to pick them up. I tried to rationalize with my 3 year old son that Ashley and Ryan were leaving, and that if he stayed he would miss school and have no one to play with. I got the typical 3 year old answer. "But Why" So Brian just grabs him and puts him in the car. Brian said that a few blocks away he finally stopped crying. By the time they got to school Tyler has forgotten all about wanting to stay home. All I can say is Three year olds you can not rationalize with them!

Burpalicious

Okay so about a year ago I started making burp cloths for all my friends having babies. they have been a huge hit and my friends have inspired me to sell them. I never liked your typical cutie baby prints. It must be the fashionista in me. So most of my prints are non traditional trend burp cloths. I did a craft show this summer and had a good response to it. So I have now expanded my store to include Baby gift sets. In the set you will get a Baby blanket, Burp cloth, and a bib. I can also (for an additional fee) monogram the set. You can check outmy work at www.burpalicious.etsy.com So if you are expecting a baby and you get a package in the mail guess what it just might be?
