I'm REALLY bad at this

Blogging that is....why I never post is beyond me :)

Things are going great here!

The boys are WILD as always.
Alan has started WALKING! Can you believe it. Time is really flying by this time. He rarely falls now and has figured out how to stand back up on his own. He is eating more and more regular food, but he is so silly and really hates touching much with his hands so I still have to feed him LOL. He is starting to babble alot too and John and I both swear he said Dada this morning in the middle of his ramblings. He loves John soooo much. He follows him from room to room and I know I'm can actually get things done if I put him in the playroom with John, but if John leaves the room he flips out.

John, John, John. What more can I say. I think he is going to be my child that always tests his limits. It amazes me how Sweet and just loving he can be and then how quickly he can turn into this mad, rude 3 year old! He does not do well with change and wants things his way. Lets just say he knows the corners in our house VERY well. But I so love that he loves to snuggle his mommy. It always makes my heart melt.

Brotherly love....thinking of my boys together seriously takes my breath away. Too see the pure love they have for one another is such a blessing. It is so sweet to watch John get excited that his brother does something. And to see Alan get excited when we play "find John" everynight at bedtime. They love to hug and wrestle with each other. It just brings joy to a Mommy's heart. Makes me feel a little less guilty for all of the one on one time John has lost with me and the one and one time that Alan will never get.

Blah, Blah...I'll hunt up some pictures....
Wrestle mania

Alan LOVES to sleep in my Buckle-Tai Carrier


that's all I've got online right now so that will have to do :)

Honest People!!

I just have to come and say how Thankful I am today for the honest people who are still out there!

My Aunt and Uncle had shipped us two boxes full of Christmas gifts for the boys, well due to a few errors it was delivered to an incorrect address. Left at their door. Well we figured they were gone and that someone got some good gifts :( When this morning my Aunt calls me to say that she was called by the person who received the packages!!! They then called me and we met so that I could get them back :) There were 15 gifts in there and the woman re-wrappwed them all due to the wrapping paper getting all wet from the delivery guy leaving them in the rain!

Thank you sooo much for making our Holiday a little brighter, I am seriously going to find out where you live and send you something special!!

Now if only my other package (gifts I was going to give) that is lost in the mail would turn up!!

Not a great Blogger

So I offically stink at blogging haha.

I am a total blog stalker for others yet I always fail to update ours. I think I see a resolution for the new year presenting its self :)

Things are going well here. We are getting ready for Christmas. Finally got the last bits for the tree - a star and tree skirt - this morning. Evan couldn't believe how many lights I put on it - 900 - but it glows so beautifully haha.

I'm already almost done shopping which I'm thrilled about, but at the same time that means I have to start wrapping, which I HATE. I'm not good at it, but thankfully all John wants to do is rip it off anyway.

I can't wait for Christmas Morning to get here and see Johns face.
For those in my family, you know I love Christmas and have been known to wake up rather early in my excitement. Well I have found that I am worse in my excitement to see his. Last year I found myself laying awake in bed just waiting for him to wake up :)


Well enough random talk and I have no pictures to add. I have been lazy with the camera lately.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Flash Back...

So talking about John being a sweet boy, made me go back and look at old videos....here are a few of my favorite of my little man...

Brotherly Love

Tonight was so sweet....

Today was a day that bedtime could not come fast enough and I was getting really impatient with John to hurry up and pick a story so I could get him to sleep and then nurse Alan to sleep. Then he picks my favorite book. "I'll love you forever". He always seems to pick this book when I'm at my wits end and the book always reminds me how thankful I am for my little boys. So onto the sweet part...so as I'm reading the main part, I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always....John leans over and says it to Alan. My heart melted. He has soooo much love for his brother it amazes me. I was so worried that with him being such a mommas boy he would be jealous, but he rarely is. He always wants to hold, hug, snuggle, kiss, etc. on his brother. I am so thankful to have them both, even on days when I think my mommy tank is on empty!

Aren't they sweet!


My Boys!!
