There's a really good diaper deal going on right now. Once I figure out the best scenario I'll post it. Other sites posted it with using Luvs jumbo packs but those are sold out right now except the size 1s. Stay tuned.

Update on Keelan

He'll be 6 months old on the 11th. Here's an update on him as of today:
*He's eating baby food - has almost tried all the stage ones. Can eat a whole jar already too!! He loves eating and thinks that every time one of us is eating that he needs to eat too. :)
*He rolls over both ways. He's so hard to keep on his back which makes diaper changes fun.
*He tries to crawl. He pushes his knees up under him and pushes.
*He popped his first tooth yesterday!! A month after we thought his first was popping through. It's not even the same one that was about to pop so I think it'll pop soon.
*He loves his big brother! Even when Corgan is being rough he still smiles at him most of the time.
*He's outgrowing his 0-3 clothes.
*He's chunking up big time. According to our home scale he weighs 14 lbs! He goes back on the 19th so we'll see how much he weighs then.

Junk Mail - UPDATE!

I wish I could've written this post to say I won a new car but I cannot. We did however win 3 gold coins. They have George Washington on them and say $1. So I guess we won $3. Corgan was excited! Easily amused like his mom I guess. I can't wait for the day that we can afford a new bigger vehicle for me but until then I am very content with my paid off car that gets great gas mileage. :) Why mess with a good thing? It's just like our housing situation. We could use bigger space but the mobile home is almost paid off and we couldn't get a house for the price we're paying now. Sometimes it just pays off to be content with what you have till God blesses you and takes you elsewhere.

Junk Mail

I hate getting junk mail. Ever since we joined LifeLock we don't get near as much junk mail. One consistent thing we do get is the offers from local dealerships. I just got one yesterday with a gift card and key. I scratched off the little scratchpad to see I'm a winner! I called and reserved my prize. I'm sure it's nothing special. However we will take our key, gift card and mailer up to the dealership maybe later today. How nice would it be if my key would start the car which in this case is a 2010 Nissan Altima. I would love a new car but right now that's the only way I can afford it.

10 year reunion

I can't believe it's almost time for my high school 10 year reunion! I'm on the reunion committee and we've been busy getting everything situated for planning the events. We're doing it during the 4th of July weekend so those coming from out of town will have more time as most people will have a 3 day weekend. We'll do a family picnic and then a semi-formal event that night. We're doing a fun casino theme. I can't wait to see how that turns out. We've gotten the bank account situated, venue booked, and party pros taken care of. Since we're doing this ourselves it's lots of busy work but so worth it! We're meeting tonight with the caterer to pick out our menu. Things are coming together with our website too. We're in the process of collecting advertising for our reunion book along with raffle prizes. Now to figure out what business to contact. I've already thought of some direct sales companies. Some of the other girls have contacted big businesses along with restaurants.

Jealousy

Ok I don't think I even had any idea just how much jealousy Corgan would have over Keelan. Seems like it just continues to get worse. What can I do? I seriously need some BTDT moms to help me out! In the last few days Corgan has started biting and hitting Keelan pretty bad. :( It breaks my heart to hear my baby let out such a screeching yell. I know we're not neglecting Corgan by any means. He's even had Mommy-and-Me and Daddy-and-Me days. We've just got to get something straightened out soon!

Well I've gotta get back to cleaning and laundry. Plus I gotta figure out supper. :)

Tot School

I know I have posted about wanting to do Tot School before but I think it's time to really make it happen. So I'm on the hunt for some good resources to teach Corgan. Here's a little of what I want to teach him:
*Music - making music with different items around the house and listening to music. I want to give him a passion for praise and worship music.
*Math - Ok, so not actual math just yet but I want to teach him his numbers and learning to count. Then we could move into simple addition.
*Grammar - Letters first of course and then move into spelling and writing.
*Bible - A Bible story and application of it.
*Art - coloring, crafts, painting, etc.
*Science - not sure how we'll do this just yet other than the aspects of creation and the world around us
*Household - cooking, cleaning, etc. Maybe find a way to give him simple chores and tasks to complete.
*Health - This will include potty training, hygiene, and exercise.

That's just a few thoughts going through my mind right now. I need to start making a list of items we need from the store. Of course I have to think about where we'll store the items where I can keep them out of reach until we need them. This post is more about my brainstorming. Maybe it'll help someone to branch out to do more with their kids. Or maybe you have an idea to help me. Please share!

Chuck E Cheese

We had our first trip to Chuck E Cheese today for a birthday party for two pretty little girls Tavi and Nayah. Corgan really had a bunch of fun. I almost couldn't get him to eat pizza and cake! That was a shocker. When we got there we all went and played games. Marshall fed Keelan and I took Corgan to play games. He had fun playing all the different games.






Then it was time for pizza and cake. After that the girls opened a few presents. We all had a few tokens left to spend so we then spent the rest of them. It was almost hard to get Corgan to leave. When we got home he laid down with me and we both took a 3 hour nap! Wow! I can't remember the last time he took a nap or even that one that long! Hope he sleeps well tonight!

Here's a couple pictures of my boys enjoying themselves at Chuck E Cheese. :)

Enjoying his time with Daddy.

Corgan LOVED Chuck E! He wanted to follow him everywhere.

What a sweet present! :)

Never a dull moment

There is absolutely never a dull moment in our house! Corgan got into something else today. It just happened to be my lipstick this time. I had just left the house to get a latte and head to do some shopping for a birthday gift. Shortly after I got my latte and was heading to Toys R Us I got a phone call. It was Marshall telling me that Corgan had gotten into my lipstick. I immediately asked if he got pictures. He said, "of course!". So here's a little bit of how it happened. Marshall thought Corgan was in his bedroom. He didn't realize that Corgan slipped into the bathroom. When he found him this was the sight.

Then Marshall asked him to show his hands...

So he told him then to put his hands on his face and run them down and got this...

followed shortly by his happy face. I love this face but this just gives it a new meaning.


God, I love this boy! Thank you for blessing me with him in my life. :)

5 months

Keelan just recently turned 5 months old. I took a few pictures of him to catch this time in his life.


Look at those little toes!!


What beautiful baby blues....

He does great holding his head up. He is getting vocal so he listens to his voice a lot by squealing. He smiles a lot and giggles for his brother. He started baby foods this week. He's had green beans first and then started applesauce today. No teeth just yet but he's teething so bad. Poor baby. He rolled over from his back to his belly for the first time yesterday! He's even trying to scoot/crawl. What strong boys I have cause Corgan was the same way. :)

Monday was a holiday so Marshall was off work. We decided to take the boys out for a family day. We went to the mall and had lunch at Chick-Fil-A since that was Corgan's request. The boy can eat his weight in chicken there! Then we stopped by Target and bought some bread with the hopes of feeding the fish up on the mountain.

However when we got home there the fish weren't coming up to eat. Guess they were a little bit too cold cause it was chilly on the mountain. So we decided to head down and let Corgan play on a playground we had passed. Marshall walked around with Corgan as he played. I sat on the bench talking to Keelan and feeding him. I got a few pictures of both my boys.


We had a good day together!! We were all sad when Daddy went back to work after he had been off since Thursday. He took several days off to have a long weekend.

While I'm posting I might as well share about a Corgan funny. Last Monday Corgan was supposed to be taking a nap. Not sure what caused me to go in and see him but I did. This is what I found...


He had covered himself in lanolin!!! That's what I get for leaving it in his room where he could find it. haha First powder and now lanolin. This boy sure gets into things. It was so hard getting the lanolin out of his hair so he went to dinner with a little bit of a lanolin hairdo.
