And then..it was November....

Yes. November is here on Monday. Where on earth did time go? Oh that is right...a baby, a toddler, a husband, a lost of apendix.

Yup. Lets add in the extra fun of a surgery for mommy here. On Sept 27th, Jameson took me to the ER for pain. I could barely stand it was so bad. This was after I took Ry to the dr for a ear infection. My mom stayed with the kids and I went to the hospital. A few hours later, it has to come out.

Now when one hears they have to have  surgery and they have kids, they would assume 'lets hope all goes well so I see them again.' No not me. Instead I go 'shit! How the fuck are we going to afford this?!?!?!?'

I do not have insurance. We can not afford it. The kids are covered sure. I am not. The bill is now up to over $20,000. Jameson makes just a tad too much for me to get help from the state. So now I have to contact the hospital and see if they have some charities that can help me out.

This. Sucks. Ass. If you ever lived w/o insurance you know it sucks. If you never had to experience it, you are lucky.  Maybe I can find a way to sell something on here to help w. the bill.

My Lena Beana Head is officially 8 months old today. She is trying to crawl. She wants to walk. I am screwed when she becomes mobile.

Ryden I think is officially potty trained! *dances in delight* He will go all on his own, wipe his butt most of the time and is dry waking up most nights. I am excited. It is a big thing for us as I have been working on this for over a YEAR!

Sorry Sorry

SORRY MY FEW READERS!!

Things have been so crazy and nuts. Ryden starts school next week, Lena is trying to get moving on her own, Jameson and I have had our ups and downs.

Ryden starts school! Ryden starts Pre School!! I can not wait! We had his open house last week. He met his teacher and classmates which was so nice. We got to see where he will be, his cubby, the play room, jungle gym, etc. He is excited and so am I.



We also have mastered peeing standing up! I taught him yesterday. I lack the equipment obviously but I did figure a way and he likes to do it! Now if only he would poop....

Lena is getting so BIG! She is 6 months old now. Where did 6 months go? She is trying to move around in her walker and loves to eat her stuffed animals haha.

I got a new toy or two!! Yup. Brand new (sorta) washer and dryer! My washer decided it did not want to work anymore. This one stupid piece broke. You would think they would sell it? NOPE! They no longer make it separate from the motor. We would have to drop a ton of money on a whole new motor just for this one piece.

So, thankfully through some other ways, we got a set of washer and dryer. Came w/ a little drawer thing that holds all stuff. Its nice. Its pretty. I will get a picture on here soon. Its front loaders and I can actually get INTO my laundry room w/o climbing over stuff. And the way the stuff gets clean?? Oh man I love it! I am having fun washing EVERYTHING I can haha.

My birthday is tomorrow. Yup. 27 tomorrow. Happy Birthday to Me...

Time Flies...

Ryden is 3 yrs old. Lena is 4.5 months old. I feel like a train hit me and yet...time flies!


Yes, my little nuts.

So much yet so little has gone on since last update. Jameson FINALLY has his car back on the road. $500 later that we really did not have but luckily he worked w/ his dad to get. I have my car back now thank god. I missed it. I missed being able to up and go out if needed or wanted. Not that I even can now! Yup, my pretty car is sitting back there wanting to be driven by me. I have to watch the milage use thought. Cutting a tad close to the limit before they say no free tires! Thursday, oil change, alignment, rotation and maybe new tires...oh boy! im sure the bank account will not be happy! Though, now that Jameson is not driving it back and forth to work anymore, the 3,000 miles will add up slower. I hope.
Lena is getting so big :0) :0( Where has time gone already??? This was this past weekend:


She looks huge in this picture but she isn't. I think it was just the angle haha. She is currently 15.5 lbs and 25 inches. A full 5 lbs 2 inch smaller than her brother at this age! She is still my little hairy peanut though!! She loves her feet and talking all day long.
Cereal is a new food group for her and she loves it. Rice in the morning and Oatmeal at night. YUM!

Ryden turned 3years old. And finally level on his weight and size.


This was at the same party this past weekend. Cupcake boy!

We were celebrating Wyatt's Birthday. Wyatt is the son of one of my mommy  friends from Babycenter.com I love my friends there and so thankful a few live close enough to drive to!


Yup, the boys just hanging out. It was a great day and something I sooo needed after all the drama in the family. Another post for another day.

So yup, that is pretty much it really. Jameson got clipped and feeling better, Ryden is getting ready for Pre-School, Lena is eating her toes...everyone is on track!

Three Years Ago Today...

.. I had a doctor appointment. It was one of my final weekly appointments. It was a monday. I saw Dr. Lamb and I asked about an induction. I was 38 weeks to the day and done being pregnant. She told me how they do not do it until 39 weeks but they will see.

It was finals week. Last week of college for the semester and I was looking forward to the summer off. As I left for my final final, there was a phone call. Now, pregnant me was already out the door and did not hear it so it is okay. It was my doctor's office calling to tell me that my induction was set for Sunday July 1st.

Could it be? THREE YEARS have passed since then? What has happen in three years and where did it go?

On Thursday, Ryden.. my little crazy big toddler will be 3. He is starting PreSchool in September. He is growing up. He can put sentences together, chose what he wants to eat or wear, be a pain in my ass, pretend to play like no tomorrow and drive me nuts. But I love my Bubba. I never ever want to know what life would have been like if he never came.

Day Out With Thomas!

This is how our Tuesday 6/15 started. It is a 2 hour drive to Strasburg, Pa. But TOTALLY worth it!

 I have to give credit to ' John and Kate Plus 8' as they did it on the show. But Ryden got into the evil Thomas. He is expensive. It drives me nuts but he loves him and I can not deny him.

So, we took Ryden to the ' Day Out with Thomas' event. We also did not tell him what we were doing. Lena was at my brother and future sister in law's house. Since Ryden's birthday is a couple weeks away, we wanted to make it all about him.

Jameson's parents bought the tickets. They were suppose to come but last minute couldn't and felt horrible. We did also. But here is the day in pictures!

Like I said, we did not tell him where we were going


Once we got to the front though, he KNEW

They had it set up that you could take a picture w/ Thomas in the front:


They had ALOT to do while hanging out. They had these cranky cars that you did by hand:

Thomas ride was pretty much a back and forth on a track but still pretty cool. They also had this pumping train that was a cute ride.


This is our train ride!

Ryden gave the guy his ticket below


I Love that picture above!

It was a fun day and he got really cranky but totally worth it for him. I was so happy to see him so excited. He got scared of Sir Topham Hat so we don't have a picture of that but still. Our day in Amish Country ended as any toddler adventure would:

Snip..Snip...

SNIP SNIP!

Yup. Jameson's snipping has happen. It happen this past Friday. It was a crazy weekend and have to let you know all about it!

Thursday, I was taking Ryden up to my parents house. The plan was for him to spend the weekend until Monday there. This way, he would not jump up on Jameson and his members. Would have sucked. So, i left Jameson home with Lena while Ryden and I went to pick up my sister in law Chrissy. She had a bunch of errands related to the wedding so it was a good day to get out.

Well, after picking up my little sister, I get a called that pretty much threw a monkey wrench into the weekend plans. My niece Krysta has Strep. Ryden can NOT stay at my parents since that is where nieces live. Yup. Screwed. Not the word i used but still. Now, the figuring out a new plan had to start.

Thankfully, my inlaws came through and they came Friday morning at 7am and took Ryden for the day and overnight. He did GREAT and now I know I have them as a babysitter if needed. I was worried since they never had him on their own or overnight!

So after they left, we got things going for heading to the doctor. Lena was okay to come along since she is tiny and well, in a carrier. His appointment was at 11am so off we went.

After the GPS was trying to tell me to drive THROUGH a Hospital building, we found the office. Yes. The GPS told us to go through a building. Nice I know. But we got to the office yay! I know Jameson was nervous but kept himself distracted by playing with Lena.

Time goes by and he gets his clipping. It is highly entertaining though when it was first done and he was walking... like someone who had a stick up their ass! But, I was nice and did not inform him until just recently hehe.

He got SO pampered this weekend can I say? Friday alone he got Sonic for lunch, a pound of gummy candy, Pizza Hut for dinner, he slept on the couch so he didn't roll onto his members, bummed around for days, didn't have to lift a finger to help change diapers or feed. I AM EXHAUSTED!

In three months, he has a follow up appointment. He gets to drop a sample in a cup to make sure it worked. I am VERY excited about not having to worry about a oops!

What else happen this weekend? We picked up Ryden on Saturday and he was very happy to see us! He also did not want to come home haha. Though, my in laws got to see how my days go and man did they seem tired.

Dam.. I had a whole thought process for on here and completely brain farted on it! Well, Lena had her 3 month check up yesterday. She is 13lbs 14oz and 24 inches. She is my little peanut! The doctor is not worried about how she cut her bottles from 6oz to 4oz. But she is perfect and I love it hehe. both kiddos have a check up in July and Ryden gets his PreSchool paperwork filled out.

Yes my Ryden:

My super hero under-roo wearing Ryden starts Pre School in Sept! I promise he will not be wearing that to school don't worry haha. That was earlier today though.  I am confident though now that he will be fully Potty Trained by then. He has pee down but still having issues on poop. One of these days, it will click right?

Summer is here...

...and so is the evil heat and humidity!


It has been so hot and sticky the last couple days and nights. Its gross. I hate it. Jameson finally put the a/c in the livingroom in. The one in our room (giant one) has been in for a few weeks now. One day, I will get a picture of that monster and tell you how we got it for FREE.

But yes. It is hot. I wanted to start taking walks with the kids every morning but every morning this week we have woken up to it being 80 or more already. NOT fun. It is suppose to storm in a day or so... hopefully, it will cool off which will be nice.

Did my weekly food shopping last night.I haven't gone in a couple weeks. PathMark had a few things I could stock more up on plus we were out of garbage bags and toilet paper. Yes, me out of that stuff! I NEVER run out haha. But after instore savings and coupons: $99.38. That included 4 packs of diapers, 2 tubs of wipes, 2 things of Pull Up wipes, 4 cases of soda and other odds and ends. My total savings: $73. Not too bad. Now, if you have kids you know how much diapers cost..and even more in a grocery store!

Lets see, what else? Ryden is getting better at his potty training. He went on his own yesterday! Very exciting indeed! Lena is beginning to figure out how to play with toys so that is always fun and she is sorta laughing. Her favorite thing is Peek A Boo.

Yeah, nothing too exciting this time around.
