Blueberries!! June 27, 2007

Stephen loves, I mean, LOVES blueberries. Check him out:

In other news, nothing exciting.  Really I wish I had something, anything, to tell you about us.  Every weekend we take the kids to one of the swimming pools around, every week day I pack up Stephen and go to Daddy’s softball games.  Oh yeah…. He broke his middle finger playing softball last week.  He refused to go get x-rays unless we all went with him at 11pm when the pain, swelling, and bruising finally got the best of him.  I was right:BROKEN!! Only the tip though, but enough that he couldn’t work for a week (but he was still able to play softball, of figure).  I realized how much I took for granted my alone time during the day, he drove me crazy!!

Walking… June 21, 2007

Here is some video of Stephen taking his first really good steps.  He is getting better every day.

Walley Weekend!!! June 10, 2007

Yesterday we spent the entire day down in Fond du Lac at their annual Walley Weekend fishing tournament.  We go usually just to eat the walley….delicious.  We had the kids get their faces painted, play in the sprinklers, the whole “family fun day” thing.  Suprisingly Stephen was very cooperative.  Usually he gets antsy in his stroller after awhile, but with all the people and camotion around him he was great.  I took a few pictures, check them out.

Baby Talk June 8, 2007

It seems that our little Beebo has learned to say a couple words.  While playing with some toys the other day, he dropped one and said “UH OH.”  Hubby and I looked at each other as if to see if the other heard the same thing.  Also, he has begun saying “DADA,” well it is more like “DA DA DA DA DA DA” but we get the point.  10 months old already talking and is going to be walking any minute.  I just can’t believe how fast time goes.

Excuse me while I vent… June 7, 2007

Now I knew there was the ex-wife when I got into my current family situation, but I did not sign on for all this crap.  There is honestly something every week that the psycho does to get under my skin.  Here are just few of the recent ones:

Today is Lyhna’s last day of school, so they have the field day thing outside.  Parents are encouraged to participate, did she tell me about it-NO.

Tells me what days I should work (honestly, she called me one day and gave me a list of dates that I should work)

Tells us when we are allowed to take a vacation this summer

Gets a dr bill for $250 and insists that we pay it (Isn’t that something child support should be used for, not a new firetruck power wheels for your son?)

Has some excuse to take Lyhna early or why she is late EVERY weekend

Doesn’t allow Lyhna to refer to her own father as “dad” in the presence of her son so he doesn’t get confused.

Makes play dates on the weekend when we have plans, so when we say no we are the ones that make Lyhna cry

Demands to know what our plans are for the weekend to see if she can take Lyhna for “a couple hours”

Alright I guess that is enough… I honestly could go on for hours.  That woman makes my blood boil.  My life would be perfect with out her in it!!

Hide-and-Seek June 7, 2007

This is what happens when Mommy leaves the room for a couple minutes.  I can’t describe the feeling in the pit of my stomach when I couldn’t find Stephen for about 25 seconds.  The scary part for me was that he was surprisingly silent, as if this was a game to him.

He was actually trying to squeeze his head between the table and couches!

“You found me mama”

New pics… June 5, 2007

There are some new pictures posted on flickr.  Feeding has become a major ordeal.  He is insistant on doing everything himself. We average about 2 baths a day now.  I am beginning to think that he is messy on purpose just so he can play in the tub.  If we run the shower or bath with the door shut, he bangs on the door and screams until you let him in.  The kid is obsessed with water. 

We are also getting much closer to walking.  He is able to stand by himself for a few seconds (only when he wants to, he is so stubborn).  Yesterday Daddy had an ice cream cone and of course Stephen wanted it.  So the only way we would let him have some is if he took a couple steps from me to the couch where Daddy was.  It worked a few times, so maybe within the next couple weeks he will be walking full force.  God Help Me!!!

One more note: Is there medication out there for Moms who have babies with 5 TEETH COMING IN AT ONE TIME? There is ambesol and tylenol for the kid, but what about Mommy?

Back to School!! June 2, 2007

I am officially a college student once again.  I have enrolled at the Fox Valley Tech.  I am taking online classes for a medical coding specialist.  At this point anything is better than wiping ass.  Oh yeah… there is a possibilty of a job offer for me at the hospital 5 minutes from my house in the OB unit.  I got a call from my job about an available night shift position, 3-12 hour shifts a week.  So they are in the process of going over my profile and I should know something soon. This would be perfect while I am “going” to school.  So wish me luck!

It’s been awhile June 1, 2007

You may have noticed that it has been a long time since I posted.  My computer took a shit.  Finally we took it in to geek squad.  We needed a new power supply, no big deal.  The ridiculous part is that they wanted $40 to put in a part that was only $30. Screw that!!! Anyways, we went to the cabin for Memorial Day weekend and had lots of fun (could have done without the plague of ticks).  Check out the new pics.
