Getting better I promise!

Ok so I know I haven't been on here much and that I haven't been consistent at all. I am changing all that now. hahaha.

So I am going to do a Blog a Day!

Starting now I am doing a Thankful for blog a day. I am hoping to get creative and also to hopefully remind myself of what I have and how good I have it!

So here goes....


Today November 2,

I am thankful for my health. So many people are sick this season and Knock on wood we have all avoided it. We got Cannon his shots and are waiting a few more weeks to get ours. Cannon is responding to the shots well. There have been so many people around her that have had the Flu that I am just so glad that we haven't gotten sick.

I will also include a picture a day. here is one from our front porch fall decorations.

For Today... Date Night!

So we are going to GJ today to see my friend Juli in Guys and Dolls One of my All time favorite plays. I can't wait to see her in the role of Adalide. For those of you who don't know yet I am in the local Production of Cinderella that will start on the 15th of May. I am so excited to get back on the stage. I am playing JOY one of the stepsisters and I have so much fun being EVIL! I will let you all know how the show is progressing. I can't wait to see the final finished product. So here is to having a date night with my hubby.

Normal is...

For Mama Kat's Writing assignment.... Thanks Lindsey!

Normal is...
Unusual. When I was very young I always thought that I was NORMAL. Then as I got older and into school where kids talk about their families and lives I realized that my family was far from the idea of Normal that the people around me had. I grew up an only child in a world of Siblings. I grew up without a Father in a world of mother/father families. I grew up in a townhouse in a world of Single family homes. I grew up without a Yard and all my friends had grass and swingsets. I grew up with a working mother who had to put me in daycare in a world of SAHM's. I realized quickly that I was an Odd-ball or as my mother told me UNIQUE. Normal for me NOW is all the things I didn't have... I am a SAHM living in a Single family home with acreage and a swingset. I live there with the Father of my son and we want at least 2 more children. Now I know that NORMAL IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT!!!!!

Getting Older:(

So We went to the park today and I am just amazed with all the new things Cannon can do. He is just getting so big. He climbed all the way to the top of the big slide and went down all by himself today... Just 3 days ago at the same park he could not achieve this feat. I am just so in awe of how quickly the kids grow and how awesome it is to see him do these things daily. He was so proud of himself that he just had to do more... He then went to the merry-go-round and decided that he was big boy enough to stand up while it was going around. I am just so glad that my dream of becoming a mom came true and it's the cherry on top having the worlds best little boy!

Ok So it has been a while.... lots has happened in the last few months. So in Feb we took Bug to Disneyland in CA and he had a BLAST. It was so fun to see one of my favorite places through his little eyes. He is doing wonderfully and just growing and getting smarter everyday. He is now 18 1/2 months old and it seems like just yesterday he was still in my big ol' belly. At his 18 month appointment he weighed in at 26lbs 9oz and was 33 1/2 inches tall. He is so smart and knows how to get his way already. He has about 50 words that he can sign and only says a few words. He says bubble, mama, daddy, yia yia, yes, no, and OG which is Dog. he is working so hard at his animal sounds. My favorite that he does is the Horse. I will try to get a video of the horse noise and put it up here. Kris is getting all geared up to go back to AK this summer and we are looking forward to the paychecks that will come with that. Here are a few pictures of Bug in Disneyland for you to see. I PROMISE I will try really hard to update this better.

Here is the Slideshow from Disneyland! Enjoy!

My baby is now a BIG BOY!!!qa

Ok so at Target the other day we got Cannon some big boy undies! they were Cheap so I bought 4 packages of them (Handy Manny and Mickey Mouse) So today I thought since they came out of the wash that I would try them on bug to see how they fit. Well as you can see they fit him GREAT! They are a size 4T so they shouldn't Fit him as well as they do. But anyway on to the BIG NEWS!!! I gave him some milk after he had been in the undies for an hour or so and then thought to myself... I should sit him on the Potty and see what happens... so I did and he sat there reading a book and after a min or so he got up and low and behold my BIG BOY went Potty (and a lot) in his big boy potty. I am so proud and so sad at the same time. I can't wait for him to grow up but still want him to stay so small... Oh I guess the joys of Toddlerum are among us.

Wanted to share the video of Bug dancing today.  He loves the movie Happy Feet and when it is on he can't help himself he just has to DANCE!!!!!
