For anyone who hasn't seen a 4-5 year old tee ball game, this is for you:
It was amazing. 4-5 year olds don't know how to play anything, let alone a complicated sport like tee ball! There are more parents on the field than kids, which is awesome!

Other than that life is pretty boring out here.

I'm back?

See that face? That is Corbin, my little tiny teeny weeny baby. It truly is amazing how fast they grow. He is now 2 and a half. Yikes!

Did you notice that I was gone...yeah oops...tiny responsibilities like 2 adorable boys, 1 fabulous husband and nursing school made this blog impossible. I am happy to say that the boys are still adorable, as is the husband and that I am a Registered Nurse. Here we are at my graduation...

There is this sweet little boy,Aedan...who is 5 by the way! Honestly doesn't seem possible that I have a 5 year old....


My whole gang...together again!

What's up?!?

Must be the Y chromosome

I have a theory about the Y Chromosome, well not really a theory, just a list of annoying behaviors that all men seem to partake in. At first I thought it was just my husband, but no, it is all men. One of those behaviors is their addiction to their "peanuts". Why they are so obsessed I will never know, but as a mother of two boys, I can attest that this addiction is embedded in their brain, and not a learned behavior.

Subject 1: Aedan, the 3 year old, can't, seriously CAN'T leave his alone if his pants are off. At least it only happens when he is naked, and not all the time, but seriously, it is like there are magnets in his hands that draw them down there.

Subject 2: Corbin, 5 months, is so interested in the toy between his legs that the second his diaper comes off he has to check it out. This makes diaper changing and crotch cleaning very difficult! You have to hold hid arms down while trying to wrestle the child in and out of his clothes. The day he discovered it, he was so proud I almost took a picture. But I wouldn't do anything that embarrassing to my children.

They really can't help it, it is part of their Y chromosome defect!

Happy Birthday Aedan!

Here he is the little monster/heart breaker!

Best big brother!
A year ago, turning 2!
Welcoming Daddy home from deployment at 18 months.
Gardening at 13 months...also known as eating dirt!

Happy first birthday little man! (This was taken just before his first birthday and I LOVE this photo-thanks Seth and Steph!)

His first smile.

Ahhh, me learning exactly what being a mommy is all about. I can remember thinking "I could stare at you all day"!

The trip home from the hospital, look at that little face!

From now to then...wow, I can't believe he is 3! My little baby is 3. It is totally amazing how fast they grow.

Happy birthday Aedan! Your momma loves you!

As promised, the renovation photos!

Old hallway (after the small bathroom was done): New hallway!
Old "big" bathroom:

It's pretty isn't it? Almost like 1970 puked all over it huh?

New "big" bathroom!

Old "small" bathroom:
(This was taken after the sink and toilet were out...they were old, the sink was white, toilet was pink...just so you get a good idea.)

New "small" bathroom!

The trim is no longer laying against the wall like it is the photo above. The daddy and Grandpa finished the trim last week. Considering my husband ripped the sink and toilet out of the small bathroom when Corbin was 2 weeks old (on Nov 1) and did almost all of it himself (our awesome friend Bill came and did some dry wall for us) not too shabby huh?

"Mommy, where's your peanuts?"

Setting-the small bathroom, at 6:30AM, "Mommy" has just been woken up by a curious little creature, and has stumbled to the bathroom with her eyes half open

Aedan: Mommy, where's your peanuts?

Mommy: In the kitchen

Aedan: Your peanuts are in the kitch-den?

Mommy: Yes, in the cupboard.

A: Then how you pee pee now, without your peanuts?

M (light bulb moment): Oh, where's my PENIS! Mommy doesn't have a penis baby, she has a vagina

A: A bagina? (a pause, as an almost 3 year old tries to make sense of the world) So you keep your pee pee inside your bagina.

M: Yup.

A: Daddy has a peanuts. He keeps pee pee in his peanuts?

M: Yup. (still not awake, thinking it is way to early for an anatomy lesson) All boys have penises and all girls have vaginas.

A: Oh. What does Corbin have?

M: A penis, because he is a boy like you and daddy.

A: What does June bug have? And Johnny cat? And Unlce Jay? And Aunt Sharon? (He then goes through a list of everyone he knows asking if they have a peanuts or a bagina.)

So that's right Grandma, by 7:00AM he knew you had a bagina. Good morning!
