It has somehow become a birthday tradition each year for me to stay up into the absurd hours of the night/morning making a cake for the boys. As much as I hate it, I really do love it. This year, with my sister's help, I think we finished the cake around midnight.</div>

It took a couple of years for Troy to accept that, since I am up torturing myself making a cake, the responsibility of decorating after the boys go to bed falls on him. We've got a good system down now and I think he has taken to his role quite nicely, don't you?</div>

So here goes....<br />

We heard about a Christmas train up in Sumpter, OR that was significantly cheaper than the train here in Boise so we opted to drive 2 hours to check it out. We had no idea that we would be embarking on, quite possibly, the BEST family day ever. Even still, thinking about this day, I remember it being absolutely perfect in every way. The snowy weather made the surrounding mountains stunningly gorgeous, there was only one other family on the train which soothed my crowd anxiety, the authentic Santa Claus was ideal (he even got Logan to sit beside him), the kind soul that brought his 4 wheeler over, started a fire, and let us give our kids rides on the sleigh was a saint, and the non-existence of whining was the icing on the cake for an impeccable day. It was truly perfect. We will definitely be going again and again.</div>

I know I have talked about how depressed the last 2 posts have made me, but neither of those even compare to this one. My sister and I decided that we would stick it to the airlines this summer and road trip it to Oklahoma this year to spend time with family and remind our children where they come from. I think we need to make it a yearly tradition.</div>

<br />
July, of course, started out with the 4th of July. This has always been my very favorite holiday, if for no other reason now than a celebration of everything Summer. We went to the Melba parade in the morning with Troy's brother's family and then hung out and had a BBQ with some friends and neighbors. It was a pretty awesome day and just looking at the pictures makes my heart swell.<br />

Posting these pictures in 2 degree weather literally makes my heart ACHE for summer and camping and sunshine. Now I am depressed. I guess that's what I get for being such a procrastinator.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027525278906770108.post-30047499939140921302012-10-18T00:41:00.001-06:002012-10-18T00:41:32.143-06:00Our Summer in Review: June<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We kicked off June with a trip to the ER. To add to the excitement, and expense, we decided to take a ride in the ambulance to get there. Logan decided to add some fun to our quiet evening by sending his Mom and Dad into full fledged panic mode. He has a tendency to do the silent cry when he gets really upset. By silent cry, I mean he will start crying, open his mouth, turn red, but no sound comes out. We have been worried when he does this b/c he had almost passed out a couple of times b/c he isn't breathing when he does it. Well, on this particular occasion, he had gotten hurt while him and Stockton were rough housing on the floor by falling on his back on a toy. He started crying so Troy picked him up and stood him in his lap to help calm him down. He was doing his typical "silent cry" when he arched his back and just collapsed in Troy's arms. Troy picked him up and realized that he was <span style="font-family: inherit;">unconscious. After a few seconds, he started convulsing and his eyes were rolling around in his head. When I saw the way his eyes looked, I thought he was dying for sure. I jumped up and ran across the street to our neighbor's house who is nurse to get help. When I was at the door babbling that we needed help, Troy comes running out of our house with Logan's lifeless body, yelling "Get Britany!!!, Get Britany!!!" When Troy laid him down in their yard, he was turning blue and not breathing. I call 911 while they try and figure out what to do, but at this point I was too hysterical, I couldn't even tell them where we were. The next 10-15 minutes are just a blur, all I know is that for a few minutes, I was certain that my baby was either going to die or be brain dead because even after they got him breathing, he still wasn't waking up. To </span>summarize<span style="font-family: inherit;"> the rest of the evening, it turns out he may be prone to have seizures and/or pass out when he cries like that b/c he stops breathing. So we have to watch him and not just let him cry. They told us to blow in his face hard and fast when he does it so he will inhale. We have had to do it numerous time since this incident and it freaks me out every time. Oh man, that's enough about that. Now I am all worked up just reliving it. While I recognize that it really wasn't that serious and it obviously could have been ALOT worse, it doesn't take away the fear and panic that we experienced in that short time. It was horrible. The only funny thing about it is, if you will notice in the picture, he is wearing his pajama shirt and diaper. That's right, that's what he looked like at 6pm on the day that we had to take him to the ER. Anyone who knows me very well knows that EVERYDAY we get up, eat breakfast and get dressed FIRST thing EVERY MORNING! Except, of course, on this morning. I felt like Mother of the Year.</span></div>

We had cousins come for a visit. Stockton just adores his cousin, Emi. And he has even taken quite the liking to his "big" cousin, Mack. We took them down to play in the river.<br />

I am feeling some unusual motivation to update the blog the last couple days and since I am looking for any reason to avoid packing, I figured I would start updating on our Summer happenings. The beginning of May my beautiful niece, Marissa, got married. I was lucky enough to be able to be a part of it. Thank you girls, for making me feel young again. That was seriously the funnest weekend I have had in a long time. I think we need to have another bachelorette party just for the fun of it sometime soon. We need to use our free classes, right?? :) <br />

The end of May we spent a week visiting my brother and his family who were living in Northern California on the <a href="http://www.marblemountainranch.com/" target="_blank">Marble Mountain Ranch</a>. It was an awesome experience to go to a place that I never knew existed and get a glimpse of a different way of life than we are used to. It is right in the middle of "Bigfoot Country" and there are just tons of tiny little towns strung along a long, winding, beautiful highway. The school that my nieces went to had only 2 teachers in the entire school and their attendance actually influenced if they would need to keep the second teacher or let her go. The way of life there really made me jealous, but there is no way I could drive on those roads everyday. Anytime we went anywhere I had to prepare myself for a day of nausea.<br />
<br />
This is our cabin. Oh gosh, just looking at it makes me want to live there.<br />

One of the coolest things about the ranch is that it is almost 100% self sustaining. They grow most of their own food and provide their own electricity. It is run solely on hydro power. We took a walk to see where they divert the water from the river to use. It was beautiful and very cool to see.</div>

Troy's main motivation to go on the trip was to see the Redwood Forest. He was very excited about it. If you want to get him going sometime , just ask him about the Redwoods. (Just kidding Troy, I love you!) I am glad to have someone that enjoys learning about this kind of stuff so then I don't have to.</div>

It's obvious that I have sucked at blogging lately, but I know that I will regret it if I don't take the time to at least attempt to document Logan's birthday. I have put it off for a few weeks mostly because I think I am in denial that he is actually 2. It is weird with Logan because he has never acted his age so he has always seemed older than he actually is, but at the same time he still seems like such a baby to me. It must be that precious Gerber baby face that he has that makes him still seem so sweet and innocent despite the firecracker that lives inside. . It is very confusing, even for his mother to comprehend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I look at Logan, I see Happiness and Fun and LIGHT just pouring out of him. He is full speed ahead until he crashes, there is no downtime with him. He already has a sense of humor that I would have never thought possible in a 2 year old. He talks and communicates so much more than Stockton did as his age. He will at least attempt to say anything you ask him to and is already talking in 3-4 word sentences. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some things I want to remember when I close my eyes and think about Logan at age 2 are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The way he comes in my room every morning and asks, "Daddy go?" And when I tell him that he went to work he responds, "Oooh. Work?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The way he already thinks it is hilarious to fart and the way he tries to claim farts that aren't even his. One day him and Stockton actually got into a pretty heated argument about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The way he says, "MATMAN!!" (Batman) and his love of super heroes in general. I would have never thought it would start so early, but he has proved me wrong. It cracks me up how serious he gets when he is pretending to be Ironman or Hulk. He will scowl at you, purse his lips together and say, "I MEAN HULK." And then his face will turn sweet again and say, "I NICE hulk" and smile at you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*He is all about "BIIIIG" trucks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The way he says, "Huuh!" instead of yes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The way he takes a bite of his food and so enthusiastically say “Mom, Num! Mom, NUM!”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The way he manages to get his face dirty within about 5 minutes of waking up in the morning and keeping it that way no matter how much I wipe it throughout the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The way he can literally hear the ice cream truck the second it enters our neighborhood.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The way he LOVES to wear his camo hat from the time he wakes up in the morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*And I mostly love how affectionate he has gotten the older he gets. He loves to be held and give big hugs and kisses. He is just the total package: cute, funny, happy, smart and loving. Love my little Yogi Bear!</div>

The two people that read my blog have been asking why I haven't been posting any new pics so I figured I better try and play a little catch up. I will start with Easter and see how it goes...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We road tripped down to Utah for Easter so the boys could experience Easter how it is supposed to be experienced...with their cousins. They were both pretty good at hunting this year so it made it alot of fun to watch. Even though Troy took an extra day off work, the weekend was still way too short. I feel bad when I don't get to visit all of my friends while I am there because I just want to squeeze in as much time with my family as I can.</div>

We decided to stop at the Dinosaur Park in Ogden on our way home to help wear out the boys for the long drive home. It worked. Stockton woke up about an hour from Boise and when he realized we weren't going back to Emi's house, he had a minor meltdown. I think he felt like he had been tricked. The boys LOVED the dinosaurs so we might just have to make it a tradition every time we down to stop on our way home.</div>

The Boys discovered their new favorite activity while I am in the kitchen...it is nice to not have them begging at my feet, but it makes the clean up twice as much. They are pretty cute to watch though. I may need to bribe their Aunt JJ into making them some more masculine aprons.</div>

We kicked off the season of the ice cream truck with a bang. Do you think they enjoyed it? They are lucky the ice cream guy offered to give us 2 items for $3, otherwise they would have had to share. He said he had a "good first day" so it was on him. I think he is just trying to steal our loyalty from the sweet little ice cream lady that always tells me what darling boys I have. His tactic may have been successful. </div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> Am I right, or what? There is nothing about this boy that says "baby" to me. Except, of course, when there is another baby around that might need my attention. In that case, he has no problem crying and wanting to be the baby. Otherwise, Logan wants nothing to do with being little. As far as he is concerned, he is just one of the grown ups. He proved this by weaning himself off of his pacifier at 16 months by biting through all 6 of them in a matter of 2 days. And just this past week he boycotted sleeping in his crib and has been sleeping in a big boy bed without any problems. <br />
<br />
Here are some of his 18 month highlights:<br />
<br />
-He loves superheroes already. If he ever gets to choose a movie to watch its BuzzLightyear, Incredibles, Superman, or any other show that he can put on his cape and pretend to fly.<br />
-He is talking a little, but not a whole lot. He will say Mama, Daddy, all done, ears, juice, night night (nigh-nigh), hi, bye, hot and probably a few others that I can't recall off the top of my head. He will sign more, all done, down, help, bye bye and will nod his head yes and no.<br />
-His favorite foods are bananas, juice, Costco energy bars, french fries, and anything that the main ingredient is sugar. He doesn't care much for eggs or meat most of the time.<br />
-Even though he can say "Daddy" he finds it funnier anytime we ask him to say it to smile and in his best Gremlin voice says "Mama".<br />
-He loves playing with Mom, wrestling with Stockton and Dad, and climbing on anything possible. All of these activities seem to eventually lead to him whacking his top heavy noggin on something. I swear someone will eventually call Social Services on us because of the constant bruises he has on his head and face.<br />
-His love of reading is finally blossoming, but only if the book involves trucks, trains, or animals that growl or roar.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I sure do love the fun, non-stop attitude this little turd has. I especially love it when he takes a break from his busy play schedule to give me the sweetest hug and kiss a Mom could ask for.

<br />
<div>Stockton had a birthday a few weeks ago. I still can't believe he is 3. He just gets smarter and smarter everyday. In fact, just today he interrupted a conversation between me and Logan about their new shark flip flops to correct me with, "Mom, stop. Sharks don't roar, they just bite." Thanks, Stockton. I guess I never thought of that before. </div><div><br />
</div><div>At age 3, he is still my mellow, obedient, and somewhat OCD child. However, his age has brought on a new spurt of temper tantrums and emotional meltdowns. He is definitely learning to push his boundaries to see what he can and can't get away with. Just last week I experienced my first public fit that warranted multiple Target employees and shoppers to offer their assistance to me. I am sure it will be the first of many. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I have been trying to keep a daily log of all the things he says throughout the day that are worth remembering, but rather than sharing a million of them I will just give a run down of the most noteworthy Stockton-isms that have come about in the last month or two...</div><div><br />
</div><div>-He no longer calls Logan, "Baby". Now he is just Logan. In fact when I was helping him say the prayer last week I prompted him to say, "Thank you for baby brother" and rather than repeating it, he said, "Thank you for Logan". This makes me a little sad, I always thought it was so sweet to hear him call his brother "Baby".</div><div>-He has told me that I was pretty on a few different occasions now and also that I was his best friend. And best of all, he has learned when I tell him I love him to say, "I love you, too, Mommy". There really are no words to describe the joy it brings when I hear him say those things.</div><div>-He refers to everything in past tense as "last morning".</div><div>-He is so cautious and careful about everything. If he even sees me get out the mop, he turns into the stay-out-of-the-kitchen police. He also gets very concerned about "slipping on the ice" if we have to walk or drive in wet or snowy conditions. And when I say concerned, I actually mean extremely paranoid. Logan threw up in the floor one night and I swear he refused to walk in that spot of the floor for a week after watching me shampoo the carpet and telling him not to walk on it.</div><div>-When he wants a string cheese he says, "I want a cheese like this" and holds up his pointer finger.</div><div>-He is obsessed with the Jungle Book. If you pop into our house on any given day, chances are Stockton will be in his underwear because he wants to "be Mowgli". When he isn't.being Mowgli, he is crawling around the house on all fours being "Shere Kahn, the tiger". </div><div>-He refers to Troy, as "My Dad". Every morning when he wakes up he asks, "Mom, where's my Dad?"</div><div>-He tells me everyday that he will always be my baby. Even when he is big like Daddy.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Here is his 3 year interview. I couldn't find his sheet that I wrote it on and since it is already after midnight I will just fill it in with the answers I remember and finish it later.</div><div><br />

Logan weened himself off of his pacifier a couple of months ago by biting through all of them. He didnt seem to mind one bit. I guess he knew what he was doing. Stockton on the other hand is a different story.<br />
<br />
As some of you may remember, we weened him off of his pacifier around his 2nd birthday. We cut a hole in it and he lost interest in it after only a few days. Easy enough, right? But then, The Nightmare happened. I don't know if I ever blogged about it, but he had a horrible, horrible nightmare and every night going to bed was traumatic because he was so scared. He was even terrified to sleep in our bed with us. In fact, he <i>preferred </i>to stay in his own bed. It happened before he was talking very well so it was hard to figure out exactly what he was afraid of. Long story short, in an effort to help relax and soothe him at night, we gave the pacifier BACK to him. Only this time with the stipulation that he could ONLY have it for naps and bedtime. He understood that and has been great abiding by that rule. It helped get us through the nightmare phase and that was the most important thing. <br />
<br />
Lets fast forward to the present....I thought his 3rd birthday would be the perfect time to say goodbye to the pacifier because, well, he is 3 and he "shouldnt" still have it, right? Leading up to his birthday I prepped him that he was going to have to throw it in the garbage can because 3 year olds are too big to suck on pacifiers. I knew it was going to be an issue once it came down to it and it was. Troy got him to throw it away on Monday and when bedtime came we had an episode and I ended up rocking him to sleep. Tuesdays nap was a little difficult, but I let him sleep in my bed and that worked. Last night was fine, but it took him quite awhile to fall asleep and resorted to the "Mom, I need_______" diversion tactic. Today, no nap. Here are my thoughts on the issue now that our plan is action.<br />
<br />
1. Hearing him cry so sadly and say, "Mommy, I don't want to be big Stockton, I want to stay little Stockton" just breaks my heart and makes me want to cry. Is it weird that making him give up his pacifier means that he is, in fact, growing up and by letting him keep it I would be letting him stay "little" for just awhile longer???? <br />
2. Does no pacifier mean the end to naps? Because, if so, I will let him keep it until he is 18. <br />
3. What damage am I really causing him by letting him keep it? Am I not allowing him to develop the skills necessary to "soothe himself" to sleep?? Is it really going to mess up his teeth? I mean, seriously what kid doesn't "need" braces these days anyways???<br />
<br />
Basically I just feel like if there are more good reasons to let him keep and it if it makes him happy, then why do I feel so much pressure to take it away from him? What is it really actually hurting to let him suck on it when he goes to sleep? Its not like he is going to show up to Kindergarten with a pacifier in his mouth. Or am I just feeling like this because it is hard for me to see him sad about it and because I don't want to let go of "little" Stockton? <br />

What do you guys think? Have you, as parents, gone through a similar situation?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027525278906770108.post-68791242133022476402012-01-19T00:15:00.002-07:002012-01-19T07:07:14.729-07:00Random RantingI have been feeling a little unmotivated lately. Well, pretty much hopeless, as a matter of fact. I have been thinking alot about where I am in my life, the road that led me here, and where it is I really want to be. Let me first clarify that I love my family. I love them so much that it literally hurts sometimes. I have a husband that, even though life and relationships are hard, I know we were supposed to end up on this journey together. I have 2 boys that if I could freeze them in time and re-live the same day with them over and over again, I would be happy until the end of time. But sometimes I feel like they are all I have. Now, I know what you are thinking, "Of course you have so much more, you have a beautiful home, great friends, financial security, and the knowledge that you are a Beloved Daughter of Heavenly Father, blah, blah, blah...." I can recognize all of these things and I get it that that should all be enough. I should be happy that I have "won" this game of life that destiny set me up to fail at, but lately what I always considered to be a success has felt more like a failure. <br />
<br />
I didn't grow up feeling like I had limitless potential to succeed in life. Most of my adolescent life I felt like I would be a considered a success if I made it through my teenage years without getting pregnant, ending up addicted to drugs, and living in a trailer the rest of my life. The guidance that I did receive from family influences, church leaders, and outside examples made me believe that my best route was to grow up, find a good guy, get married, have children, buy a nice house, make money, and live happily ever after. I never realized that I could actually do whatever it is was that I WANTED to do. I could join the Peace Corp and serve others all over the world for years before even thinking about getting married. My husband and I could bypass getting a "good" job, buying a house, and joining the same rat race as the rest of the world and live all over the world for free on farming communities where we learn all the skills necessary to be self-sustaining while being enriched by the people we come in contact with. I could go to school, learn about something I ENJOY, and actually get paid to do it! The only thing I ever knew that I wanted to do and believed that I would actually be good at it was be a Mother. I am doing that and I LOVE it, but I realize that there is so much more that I could be doing and so much about my life that I could change to make it my own dream come true. I just feel like I am in too deep in this life that we have created for ourselves that doing what we actually WANT to be doing is just too hopeless. Or maybe I am just not willing to give up who I am to become who I want to be and I just need someone to blame for that. Maybe I should just be content with what I have achieved in life, do what I can to improve it, and teach my boys that they really can do whatever it is they want, they can be whoever they want to be and their success will be my success. Hopefully if I can successfully teach them that message, that will fill up this nagging sense of failure inside of me. Or maybe, one day, I will fill it up myself by discovering my place in the world, figuring out something I am actually good at it that will inspire or help those around me and that will make me feel content and valuable. But not tomorrow. Thursdays are floor cleaning days, I won't have time for anything else.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027525278906770108.post-61417979181935266652011-12-08T13:51:00.000-07:002011-12-08T13:51:08.311-07:00Happy Halloween (for my Mom)<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My mom has been asking me to post some Halloween pictures for quite sometime so I thought I better do it before posting Christmas pictures gets here.

When I close my eyes and think of Logan at 1 year old, these are the things I want to remember....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ul><li style="text-align: left;">His big toothy grin that he gives away so freely, especially when he knows he is being naughty.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The way he puckers his lips and scrunches his eyes when he talks to you so seriously and says "Goog, goog". And the way he points his little finger when he is trying to show you something he wants.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Watching him run away smiling or laughing when he knows its time to get dressed, change his diaper, or go to bed.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Having to pin him down on the floor with one of my legs so I can change his diaper since he doesn't understand the concept of holding still.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">His independent eating. He doesnt like to be fed, he has to do things himself. But since he hasn't mastered his spoon and fork yet, we have to get the food on it and put it down on the tray for him to pick up. If you try and hand the fork directly to him, he wont take it. He does that with alot of things. He won't take things directly from my hand, I have to set it down in front of him and then he will pick it up.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The way he has mastered the art of dodging you while trying to wipe his face or nose. It is next to impossible to get his face cleaned, so don't jug me that it is always dirty!!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The way he will come over and sit in mine or Troy's lap for a second while he is playing just to check in and then he goes right back to playing.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The way he growls like a little Gremlin when he plays, mostly with his trucks or animals.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">His love for playing in the bathroom. Whether it is climbing up the step stool and playing in the sink or taking advantage of us forgetting to close the toilet lid.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">His wispy/curly hair sticking out behind his ears.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Him learning at such a young age how to antagonize his older brother. Whether it is rough-housing or taking something of Stockton's and turning and running while Stockton chases him crying, he is already a pro.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The way he waves bye-bye by just moving his wrist up and down. It is especially cute when he randomly does it to strangers without being provoked.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Him always having bruises on his head from either falling down or running into things b/c he is so top heavy with his big noggin. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The way he hits you with toys. Even though he is a little stinker when he does it, the naughty grin that follows is just priceless. It was especially funny when he beat Daddy up with the drumstick.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The way he wont let us hold him to put him to sleep. We just put him in his crib and he literally moves constantly until he falls asleep. Sometimes, and I repeat, SOMETIMES, he will let us cuddle him a little before he put him in his crib. This usually involves him being sweet, looking up at us and then sticking his fingers in our mouth and stabbing our gums with his razor sharp finger nails. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Putting us through 3 hours of torture every Sunday at church because he doesn't know how to be still for more than 3 seconds. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">His chubby, little bow-legs and chunky butt. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The way he rests his head on my chest when I get him out of his bed in the morning. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">His no-fear, do anything attitude.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The way he backs down the driveway to the street grinning at me because he knows he is going to get in trouble.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">His long, think eyelashes and the color of his green eyes that are exactly like his Daddy's.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The way he walks in place when he is throwing a fit and then plops himself down on the ground.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">And the way he will come and lay on you when you are in the floor with him to give you loves.</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: left;">I don't ever want to forget the light that I have seen in him from the very first second I met him and I just don't ever want to forget the way I feel everyday when I get to see this face...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_6sZfr5qAuEihcj7GBaShK9Q-9OeKpIvzIVp1euQM40n4vXR4pGLUM1qNRiH-4nCqJtvMpZCbB7MZ9Nv2_LsNy_XA8nRpxCZwcprrnnc9abEtJEiCmIMfdJTHzNrYo3fDnp1ymi-z-8pV/s1600/SDC16803.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_6sZfr5qAuEihcj7GBaShK9Q-9OeKpIvzIVp1euQM40n4vXR4pGLUM1qNRiH-4nCqJtvMpZCbB7MZ9Nv2_LsNy_XA8nRpxCZwcprrnnc9abEtJEiCmIMfdJTHzNrYo3fDnp1ymi-z-8pV/s640/SDC16803.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

She loves owls and I was inspired by a cake my friend at <a href="http://audzipandesign.blogspot.com/">Audzipan Anthology</a> made. I am pretty proud of my first attempt and am anxious to do something fun for Logan's birthday in a couple of weeks. What do you think??<br />

My baby goggles finally came off and I was able to see how grown up he actually is. It makes my heart sad to think of him of a blossoming toddler instead of my precious baby. <br />

Typical Logan.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">His latest updates:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ul><li style="text-align: left;">He loves anything that has wheels that he can drive around and make car noises. Seriously, if he even sees a picture of a car or truck, he starts with his growling sounds.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">He is learning how to work the sympathy system and show a little jealousy. If Stockton is crying to me, he will run over and squeeze himself between us into my lap or he will immediately start crying and run over to be held.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">He is still in GO!GO!GO! mode at all times. He has to be constantly moving and doing something. He doesnt know the definition of sitting still.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">He is learning how to be a grumpy pants and has no problem showing his bad attitude at anytime of the day.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">He is becoming much more affectionate. He likes it when I just sit in the floor while he plays so he can come over every 2 mintues, crawl in my lap, give me a hug, and sit there for about 30 seconds before he is back to business with his toys.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">He somehow already knows how to annoy his brother and is already learning to some self defense wrestling moves. He will get on his hands with his butt in the air and ram into Stockton with his head. I will admit, Stockton deserves it most of the time.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">He has mastered the art of running away from me laughing when he knows it is time to either get dressed or get his diaper changed.</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: left;">His birthday is sure creeping up fast, I better get into gear planning something. I know he doesnt really need a big party, but I feel like if I dont at least do something similar to what we did for Stockton's then I will be a horrible mother and will further damage his fragile ego as the 2nd child. So if anyone has any ideas, let me know. Also, if you know how to make a truck cake, send me some tips! :)</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027525278906770108.post-2767308916291863722011-07-21T21:31:00.000-06:002011-07-21T21:31:25.567-06:00Potty Training and PrayersI am not in the mood to make a detailed post, but I just wanted to document that after 2 1/2 days of intensive training, Stockton is officially potty trained!! Thanks to some good advice, it was alot easier than I anticipated. It almost makes me wish I would have done it sooner. Maybe not. I also thought is was interesting that Stockton is exactly 2 1/2 years old today. Happy kind-of Birthday, Stockton! :)<div><br />

</div><div>Oh yeah, and he also said the prayer at dinner tonight for the very first time. I am looking forward to many years of listening to children's prayers. So cute.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027525278906770108.post-55877531623783543822011-07-08T23:31:00.001-06:002011-07-09T09:53:55.088-06:00Time for some documenting<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>This past week I have been consumed with the realization that Stockton and Logan are growing everyday. And not only are they growing, but they are doing it very quickly. Much faster than I would really like. There is so much about them that I don't want to forget and so much that I wish would never change. So I figured I better write some stuff down before I blink and they are teenagers. Here goes:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Logan:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ul><li>I worry everyday about what is in store for me the older he gets. (Prepare yourselves for a cheesy, only-a-mother-would-understand comment) From the time he was born I saw a light in him that I didn't see in Stockton. It was a kindness and a lightheartedness in his eyes that I really can't describe. I still see it in him everyday, but he is just so full of energy that I don't know how he will ever be contained. He has been walking for about the past month (since 9 1/2 months) and is already a pro. He rarely even crawls anymore, he would much rather walk. He can stand up from a sitting position, and doesn't need to pull himself up on anything. He has also mastered going up the stairs, hasnt figured out how to go down yet, but he can fly up, that's for sure. It is weird for me to see such a little guy walking, but at the same time, I wouldn't expect anything different from him. </li>
<li>He is the happiest, most go-lucky baby in the world...as long as he is getting what he wants. As soon as that changes, he goes from 0 to 60 in about 2 seconds. He knows how to be stubborn and he knows how to throw a fit. Watch out world, we have got one more strong-willed boy coming your way. </li>
<li>His hands are still out of control. He loves grabbing everything he possibly can and sticking his hands in peoples' mouths and faces. I think he could potentially grow up to be a thief b/c he is so fast and can grab anything that you think is out of his reach. Everyday he does at least one walk-by grab. I will be holding him, walking through the house and will notice that he carrying some object that there is no possible way he could have grabbed without me noticing. </li>
<li>He is starting to enjoy reading. And when I say this I mean that he will actually let me open a book and turn it 2-3 pages before he becomes Godzilla and wants to destroy it. He mostly enjoys books with pictures of animals or babies. I am learning that if I read him books that I can interact with him by touching him or making funny noises, then I have a better chance of getting through those. This may seem normal for a 10 month old baby, but Stockton would sit still and let me read to him as long I wanted from the time he was born. So to me, it is a little frustrating. Reading is my "Paranoid Mother" issue. I don't buy into all of the Parenting Guides that try and convince you that if you dont do things a certain way then your baby will not turn out normal, but somewhere along the way I got it into my head that if I dont read to my kids at least 15 minutes a day then they will grow up with no imagination, have ADD and not do very well in school. I am paranoid, I know, but as far as I am concerned reading to them everyday will only have positive affects on them so I am OK with being OCD about it. Anyways, back to Logan...</li>
<li>He loves to growl. My sister seems to think he is a Gremlin. I am confident that he isn't, but not confident enough to feed him after midnight. He mostly growls when he wants something from you, when he is looking at pictures of animals, and when he is driving his trucks around. And sometimes just when he is walking around the house. This is what worries me about feeding him after midnight.</li>
<li>He has 6 teeth so far. Both sets of front and bottom middles and the 2 right beside the middles on top. He has started grinding them together and he makes the cutest face when he does it.</li>
<li>He is starting to get a little more cuddly. He still wont let me hold him until he goes to sleep, but he at least rests his head on my chest and lets me sway with him for a couple minutes before I put him in his bed. Those are the times I wish I could hold him forever.</li>
<li>Finally, he is a total Daddy's boy. When Troy is home he pretty much wants nothing to do with anyone or anything else. If me and Troy are in the same room, he goes to Troy over me every time. Anytime Troy is in the floor, Logan will walk over and either nuzzle him with his head or sit with his back up against Troy and just lay on him. It is really sweet. Stockton is such a Momma's boy, I am glad that Troy has a little buddy. </li>
</ul>Stockton:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>He is getting so grown up and smarter everyday. It is crazy to see him put his own thoughts together instead of just allowing us to control everything he says and does. He is just so aware and interested in everything going on around him and is starting to have his own random thoughts. This morning at breakfast he just pipes up and says, "Dis tastes good, Mommy." And then again at lunch. I guess he didn't think too highly of our dinner because I didn't get a compliment for that. He likes to ask "Wha Dat?" and when I tell him he says, "Oh". The other day at the park he brought me a flower and said, "Mommy have." That one brought a tear to my eye. One night we were going to bed and he chose his bedtime book, but I told him it was brother's turn for a book first and for him to sit on the floor and read his book until it was his turn and he said "O-tay Mommy, I read it" and he sat down on his floor and turned the pages while talking jibberish to himself and pointing at the pictures.</li>
<li>He is talking up a storm these days. His vocabulary is growing everyday and he will pretty much repeat anything that we want him to say. His speech therapist wants us to start working on his pronunciation now that his vocabulary is getting so big. He was eating some graham cracker bunnies the other day and he asked for more "Nunnies". I told him they were Bunnies, not Nunnies. I had him repeat the "B" sound for me and then told him to say "Bu-Bu-Bu-Bunnies" and he said, "Bu-Bu-Bu-Nunnies!" He was so proud of himself.</li>
<li>He loves doing puzzles. He is so good at it, too. He is already doing the 36 piece ones. He would do puzzles all day if I didnt get burnt out on them so fast. Every time he gets a piece together he gets so excited and says, "I did it!" I thought I would join in on the excitement so when I got a piece together I said, "I did it!" and he followed up with "Mommy, I did it, too!" </li>
<li>He got his mother's scared gene and he is becoming more and more afraid of the dark. Even if it is daylight outside, but the blinds are closed in a room, he wont go in there unless I go in and open up the window first. Even though I know he is scared he tries to say so matter-of-factly, "Mommy dark" so I will go in first. At least he tries to be brave.</li>
<li>Toy Story and Thomas the Train have taken the backseat to Go! Diego! Go! For the time being, at least. He must ask at least 20 times a day to watch it. Although he doesnt just ask, he throws his hands in the air and says, "Watch Diedo!" He is just so enthusiastic about it that it is hard to not be as excited about him watching it as he is. It seems like lately he has been watching too much it, but it could be worse, right?</li>
<li>He LOVES his "Naan-Naan". His cousin Emily is probably his 2nd most favorite person in the world right behind Mommy. Anytime she is around, the world around him ceases to exist and she is the only thing that matters. He wants nothing to do with me or Troy and wants her to do everything for him. The funny thing is that he calls her "Naan-Naan". My name has always been Dawn-Dawn in my family because my sister couldnt say my name when we were little so somehow the name Dawn-Dawn was born. (My middle name is Dawn) We never told Stockton to call Emily Dawn-Dawn, he just picked up on it from hearing her say it so frequently. That is what is so funny. Not so much anymore, but it seems like anytime Emily was around, there was a broken record playing my name over and over and over again.</li>
</ul><div>Stockton & Logan:</div><blockquote><ul><li>They are both getting really good at pestering each other already. Stockton thinks he can take any toy away from Logan as long as he gives him a "replacement" toy when he swipes it. And Logan thinks he can just go take whatever he wants from Stockton because, well...he's stronger and almost bigger. Plus Logan is already learning how to push Stockton's buttons to get a reaction out of him. Logan will go do something to Stockton, Stockton will throw a fit, and Logan will just laugh like that is exactly what he was trying to do. Shouldn't it be the other way around?? Logan is too little for this.</li>
<li>Even though they do things to annoy each other, they are getting really good at playing with each other. They already know how to rough-house each other and even though I think Logan is too little play the way they play most of the time, he just laughs and laughs and laughs so I am learning to just turn my head and let them do their thing. It is funny to watch them feed off of each other. Stockton will do something silly or entertaining and Logan will just bust a gut, so then Stockton will start laughing and they will both just laugh as hard as they can. It was so precious to have Stockton all to ourselves and be able to play and laugh with him, but it is so much more satisfying to hear 2 little boys laughing together. I hope they will always love each other as much as they do right now. </li>

No seriously, for about 2 minutes, we really thought he was gone. It was hands down the most terrifying 2 minutes of my life. Even though he wasnt actually lost, I havent been able to shake the panic out of mind. We were attending a BBQ with a pretty big group of people at a park we were unfamiliar with. After dinner, all the adults were hanging out eating a little more while the kids played on the playground about 25-30 yards away. After 10-15 minutes, I glance over and dont see Stockton's green shirt so I decided to stroll over just to check on him. As I am walking over, I still dont see him. I get to the playground, still dont see him. I start to get a little nervous, so I check in all the tunnels, still no Stockton. I decide to scan the perimeter of playground and when I dont see him, I start to get a little nervous. I yell back to Troy that he isnt on the playground and to get up and start looking for him. I continue to walk past the playground to see if maybe he went to play in the dirt of the BMX track even though I know it is not in Stockton's nature to wonder. When I see that he is not on the outskirts of the track, I got very nervous, and as Troy put it, my Mommy radar went off in full force. I am starting to panic and yell back at Troy to do something!!! At this point, the rest of the adults have realized what is going on and immediately start to blanket the entire area. It is amazing how just seeing this play out a million different scenarios can play through your mind in a matter of 10 seconds. For example, I imagined that someone had him in the bathroom, doing who knows what, and that Troy, along with the 10 other men with us, were going to find him and literally beat the living daylights out of the pervert that would do such a thing. Or that Stockton has wondered near the busy street and someone just pulled over and picked him up and was who knows where, doing who knows what. In an instant I felt 100% helpless and terrified. By this time, I have entered Stage 1 of Arin's Meltdown Mode. I start to run across the street to see if, by the grace of God, he had merely wandered over to check out the neighboring park. My friend, Sara, followed and just as she was about to call 911, I hear them all yelling that they have him. The relief I felt in that instant is indescribable. The tears stopped fairly quickly, but I swear my heart is still beating faster than it should be and my hands are literally shaking while I type this. <br />
<br />
It turns out he was on the playground the entire time. The sneaky little bugger. I dont know how all of us missed him. And while he was, in reality, no danger whatsoever, that doesnt make the experience I had any less real. You can roll your eyes and call me dramatic, but for about 5 minutes, I was CERTAIN my 2-year old was gone and I was CERTAIN someone had taken him and I dont ever want to re-live that experience again. I can empathize on a whole new level with parents who actually really do have to live that nightmare. Me and Troy both agreed that if something like that really did happen, neither us would know what to do with ourselves. I honestly think I would be suicidal. Now I dont want want this to be some cheesy post about "hug your kids a little tighter" and I am not trying to get any special attention, I really don't know what I want this post to be. I guess I just wanted to document what happened and maybe hope that it helps me to stop being so freaked out by it. It has definitely been a good reminder to me just how precious he is and how devastating it would be if something were to happen to him or Logan, I can't even think about it....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027525278906770108.post-20373483922164780122011-06-09T22:42:00.001-06:002011-06-10T09:04:46.277-06:00Even on my worst day.Today has been one of those days where you wonder how, as a Mother, you maintain a normal level of sanity day in and day out. The boys were both especially whiny. Stockton was extra rough with his baby brother and Logan just fussed and cried for no good reason. Well, I am sure he had a reason, I just didnt know what the heck it was. And to make matters worse, I was not in the best of moods. <br />
<br />
Unrelated to the annoyances of the day, my cousin has been talking about coming to Idaho for a quick vacation. She called me today to talk about things to do here and dates that would be good to come and all of that fun stuff. I don't know about you, but for some reason when I get on the phone it seems like all hell breaks loose and the boys think it is a red flag to run wild and do whatever they want. This particular cousin has no shame admitting that she isn't a big fan of kids, in general, and has no desire to have children of her own. After about the 3rd time yelling at Stockton to get off of his brother I joked that maybe she was on to something not having any kids. After a few comments back and forth about the so called "joy" that comes with having children, we both agreed that is was good that she knew ahead of time that it was not something that she wanted to do, rather than regretting it after it was already too late. <br />
<br />
I have been thinking about that brief part of our conversation all night. I wish more women were smart enough to recognize that ahead of time, rather than just starting a family out of obligation, pressure, or stupidity. After having children of my own, there are few things that make me more sad than thinking of children who aren't wanted, either before they were conceived or after they were born. I seriously get sick to my stomach, want to throw up sad when I think about all the children who don't get the love and attention that they deserve because they aren't wanted. I don't mean to say that if my cousin ever had children that she wouldn't be a great mother, or that she wouldn't love and want her children. Our conversation merely reminded how much I WANT to be a Mother. How much I want to be Stockton and Logan's Mother. Even on my worst day. <br />
