Is it June already?

Time is flying by, which although everyone tells you it'll happen with kids, you just don't realize it until you have them and they're turning 2 & 4.... which is what my boys did just over a month ago. I cannot believe my boys are that old already *sigh*

They're as exhausting as ever, but also just as fun as ever. Colin has truly become a little boy, no longer a toddler, or preschooler for that matter. I've noticed he's really stepping into the stereotypical oldest child in being the more serious, responsible one. He *loves* playing, being goofy, etc, but yet he also watches over Jackson, and tries to do everything to make me happy and/or proud of him. It's adorable, and I just love him to pieces.

Jackson is our little comedian. His only mission is to make us laugh. Constantly. And boy does it work! He talks up a storm and loves, loves, loves when his big brother plays silly games with him. He has one of the most adorable laughs that you can't help but smile and laugh right along with him when you hear it. Just like his brother, I love him to pieces.

And one last thing about my boys based on that pic you're seeing up above. They need haircuts. Desperately!!! LOL Hopefully this weekend we can take care of that ; )

It's pointless to even apologize

I'm horrible at keeping this blog up-to-date LOL But finally 2 nights ago I took the time to upload pics since Christmas. Wow, my guys sure are getting big! I'm starting to plan their birthday parties, which Colin has decided to have "Bolt" as the theme. I give that a huge thumbs up because I can use the same theme throughout the whole party for them (since their birthday's are only 3 days apart, I'm having their party together). Prior to choosing "Bolt", Colin had said that he wanted monster trucks and Jackson wanted monkeys. Trying to figure out how to make that work was giving me quite the headache! So needless to say, I'm really talking up "Bolt" and what a great idea it is. Besides, the dog in the movie is awfully cute too ; ) So in a few short weeks, I'll be the Mommy of a 2yr old and a 4yr old. How crazy is that?!?!?

The boys are doing great in our house, and they've even been getting along pretty well, although they've both mastered the art of brotherly fighting. Colin's a lot stronger, but definitely more sensitive, while Jackson is the more fiesty one. Good old toddlerhood strikes again in the house LOL But when they get along together, they have a blast. I love it when they play together and listening to their laughter. Jackson clearly thinks that Colin is the funniest person in the world and it's so cute!

We've had some nice weather (up until the snow hit last night), so we've spent a lot of time outside and at the park. The boys love being outside and so do I. Enjoy the pics!

Oops

Apparently it's been awhile since I blogged... I'm not really sure why, just laziness I guess LOL

We're pretty settled into our house, the boys seem to love daycare, and I'm enjoying my job and being able to see smiley boys when I pick them up everyday :) So since there's nothing exciting going on to tell you about, I'll share some pics:

It's crazy to think in just over 2 months, I'll be having their 2nd & 4th birthday's!!!

Since it never got mailed...

Here's the pic from our Christmas card. I had every intention of sending out Christmas cards to friends, but with the closing and moving, it never happened. Sorry!!!

And here's a couple individual shots...

Colin (3.5yrs):

Jackson (18 months):

More pics to come :)

Isn't this just my luck?

Yesterday was the big day - the cable & internet were to finally be hooked up after almost 3 weeks of being without. The guy came and did his magic (yay for N.oggin again!), I got the kids in bed and get all excited to have the night to watch my shows, and mess around online. Maybe even finally post some pics. I make myself dinner, turn on Ug.ly Betty, decide I can live with the 2ft wire connecting my laptop to the modem, even if it meant sitting on the floor instead of my nice comfy couch, and guess what happens? Out goes the cable. Yep, because that's my luck.

I waited about 10 min and decided to just fold my laundry and head to bed *sigh*

**It's back up and running this morning - I checked before leaving for work ;)

Happy New Year!

At the end of 2007, I thought that 2008 just had to be better. Who would've known that it would actually be worse? Regardless, I am not about to let that happen for 2009. 2008 ended on a good note at least - I got a good job, a nice house, and AMAZING friends that got me through the holidays without me shedding one single tear. I am so incredibly fortunate to have such a wonderful support group around me.

So thank you a million times over to Amy & Rebecca for making our Christmas as perfect as it was. And thank you Sarah for making New Years Eve so much fun - you're more than welcome to come over for a night of daquiris, champagne, and Rock Band anytime you want ;)

And thanks to all of you, and Michael, for lending an ear when I needed it. I'm sure it got tiring (and frustrating) to listen to me about all of this, so I really appreciate you all being there for me and not judging me. It means a lot <3

Happy New Year everyone!!!

P.S. I found my original cord to my camera so I can download pics finally! Now the problem lies in getting internet set up.... I'm going a bit crazy without it for 2.5 weeks now (although I sure am getting a lot done on the house because of it! LOL)
