Chocolate?.......Unfortunately Not!

WARNING..if you have a weak stomach DO NOT scroll down any further

This is how I found my son this morning..guess what? He knows how to take off his diaper! Of course he is smiling about it. So he wanted to wrap his legs around me like a monkey as I am trying to lift him out of the crib, meanwhile I'm trying to hold him as far away from me as I can.








Can you believe this kid????


This was his second bath in a row and his hair stills smells!!

My husband asked me what is wrong with him? I replied,"he is a boy"
Skip said he is worse than all three of our girls combined. He told me he is always getting into something everyday...my response"no shit!" ..literally.

Forever Grateful

Today I ran into my nurse friend who saved Tyson's life a year ago. I happened to have Tyson with me so she got to see how well he looks. For those of you who didn't know, when he was in the hospital last year and in very bad shape, my nurse friend stepped in and did what she felt was right and went against the doctor's orders which ended up saving his life. I always think to myself what if she wasn't working that night? That is why I am forever grateful to her -


We are forever grateful

No School=Fun With Friends

Today the kids were off of school so we went on a hayride and picked pumpkins with 16 kids altogether...and 6 moms. That's a lot of kids. I left Tyson home because the last hayride he went on he did not want to sit still...and honestly I did not feel like chasing him all day....he had just as much fun with Grandpa at the playground today...Thanks Dad for watching him!







These kids have the life.....fun activities,friends, and AWESOME moms that do so much for them

I Am The Best Wife

I'm not bragging- I just want to make sure my husband reads this...isn't it funny how nice husbands are when they want something? My husband got a last minute(and I mean last) invitation to go fishing for the entire weekend.. a 36 hour fishing trip...he wants to take me sometime....uhh thanks but no thanks...I would rather be locked in a small room with all 4 of my kids...I think. So he sprung this on me last night hours before he was to be leaving.
You see ladies, you have to use this to your advantage. When he does this to me, right away I think of something I really want to do that he will have to stay home and take care of all the kids....but honestly I rarely say no to him if he has an opportunity to do something fun(or that he thinks is fun) He works all the time and never gets to do much. It just cracks me up how nice he was to me the rest of the night!
Plus I really didn't mind b/c my sister is coming to visit for the weekend and we are always busy going places with the kids...so I won't be alone, rocking back and forth going insane. And it is now 6:45am and my daughter is awake already....let the day begin!! Sleep in for God's sake Alina, what is wrong with you?

LOOK WHO'S 2 TODAY!!!!!

There is never a morning that he does not wake up with a smile on his face!
Happy Birthday Buddy- can't wait to celebrate your birthday tonight!

Rainy Day But Good News

This morning Tyson and I drove 45 minutes away to see his dctr for a follow up GI appt. It was cold and rainy so Tyson decided to sleep on the way down....


While we were waiting for the dctr to come in I could just see Tyson's wheels spinning in his head....."what can I get into?"


"Anything up here?"


Trying so hard to escape



Ahhh the crinkly loud paper


But he can do no wrong in my eyes!


We had a great visit. He is off the down syndrome chart for his weight(which I pretty well figured) and also for height- I was excited about that(his height) DS children tend to be on the smaller side. He hasn't had any GI issues since last year so we do not need to go back...one less dctr to see. So we got back into the car, had a drink, and off to sleep he went...again. Rainy days will do that to you.



We picked up this slide my friend is letting me borrow... He loves to climb so this should keep him busy


Good day...even if it is rainy and COLD!!!

Kenzie Makes Me Laugh

When I tell Kenzie to stay in her bed at night she always finds a reason to come out for something.



When Daddy tells her to stay in bed she listens a little better. Last night when I went to bed I found her asleep in the hallway. Too funny.
