tongue

Alex is feeling much better today. We did have some 'indigestion' at breakfast, but I think we're in the clear. Thanks to my mother, I'm now a little worried to let him go to sleep for fear he might end up like some drunken 21 year old after a binge aspirating on his vomit. We will just have to check in on him like he's our first child!

Anyway, I snapped some pictures yesterday of the little man and out of 80-some pictures, almost half were with him and his tongue sticking out!

In order for the brain to function, the tongue must be out! Jack was doing that the other day and Chad said, "Oh look, he sticks his tongue out just like you." Guilty.

P.S. I sooooo love my camera. You can take 80-100 pictures like nothing and not even worry! Review them and keep the 5 that turned out, junk the rest, and go take another 100 (or 800 with my CF card) pictures! AWESOME!!!

same old saturday

Well, today seems to be the same ol' Saturday that we've always had around here except for my morning discovery of a crib full of puke. So gross. Alex must have gotten sick sometime in the night and there was 'sick' all over his bed, in his hair, jammies, blankets, and stuffed animals. I never heard him cry or anything. Poor little boy. He got a morning bath (of course, since they both got baths last night) and I got to disinfect the nursary. Great way to start the day. He seems fine now. He ate a good breakfast and lunch and is napping as I type this so hopefully it was a fluke thing and that will be it.

Jack and I went to his first play group at the elementary school in Westby. He had a good time and got to play with (next to) other kids his age which is the whole point of this. You may wonder, why Westby? Well, they do a play group every Friday and I'm not sure if Viroqua does one at all. I've heard it's the second and fourth Tues. but Tues. is Alex's swim class so that doesn't quite work for us. Westby is fine. I'ts only 7-10 minutes away.

I had my last kickboxing class with Rebekah yesterday. Her and her husband are moving, so that's a total bummer. She was an awesome instructor. We're lucky though and have found someone to take over the class so it will go on! Very exciting as I had just found this to do and actually like it and now it will continue! We will have to take a small break while he coaches high school golf, but by summer it will be game on.

Well, better make the most out of naptime. Happy weekend!

do you hear that? nothing. exactly!

I'm finally enjoying a a moment of piece and quiet because the children are in bed. It's been a long day.

We took the boys up to La Crosse to get Jack's three year photos taken and let me tell you, now that I have my wonderful new super awesome camera, I really want to try taking these photos myself.

The lady that took the pictures was bad. We've had her before and she lived up to my expectations today. She actually changed batteries in her camera mid-shoot. Come on. Jack was not giving us anything today, so when he actually was sitting nice, she totally missed the shot. We also did not get any pictures of the boys together. This is the third time and still nothing. I know the kids behaving is half the battle, but when you have a 1 and 3 year old, you have to be on your toes! There is a computer program that I want to get so I can play around with the picts. and hopefully start taking all the family photos. I can't do much worse, right?

We went shopping while we were up there and found some great deals on clothes for the boys for next winter. I love finding a great deal! Our kids might be a season behind in their wordrobes, but if I can save some money and they don't care, I'm going for it! I'm sure it'll be soon enough they'll need the certain shoe, jean, coat, backpack, ect.

I wanted to get some goggles for Jack for in the pool and we found some today. He just had to wear them so this is him first being difficult:

And here, showing off--my kid wouldn't do something like that ;)

He's a crazy one, that Jack. I'm sure it's just the tip of the iceburg!

hiiiiiiiilarious

Saw this on Youtube. Too funny!

Farts are always funny!

Oh, and P.S. If anyone knows how to post a link like if I wanted you to click on the word here, that would take you to the web page instead of http whatever, please let me know. I need to know how to use all this new fangled internet stuff!

gotta love this kid

Our brother-in-law joined us in a game of bowling on the wii and someone else wanted to join in.

Take a look:

He's got good form, don't ya think? He started doing this all by himself. It was sooooooo hilarious! Pretty darn cute!

jack's big day

Here's just a few pictures from Jack's party.

Gotta love that cheeseball smile with him and his (home-made) cake. Seems to be what you get with him these days.

He's actually under the weather with some tummy issues and now a fever all day today. Hope we're on the home strech with this bug. Gosh, I can't wait until summer.

my baby is 3!

I can't believe it's been three years since I squeezed that watermellon that we call Jack into this world. Three years!!! What's so sad is I have such a hard time remebering when he was teeny-tiny which really bums me out :( Luckally, Chad has a mind like a steel trap and remindes me of little things he used to do. Gotta love that man!

We had Part part II yesterday at the house with family. It went really well and Jack had a great time. He was looking forward to it all week! He got really nice gifts (not a lot of toys which was great) and he finally got to eat his cake which took much restraint to leave alone 'till the party! I took picts. which I hope to post tomorrow.

Today on the actuall day of his birth, we abandoned him at G&G Hoyum and went
snowmobeling in Sparta. That was fun to go on the bike trail where you can fly! We had a good time and so did the boys spending some quality time with the Grandparents.

One quick Jack quote from today:
Alex fell down and hit his head on the floor and started crying. Jack came over to him and said, "It's OK Alex, your OK. Just rub some dirt on it."

We're starting to find out that our kid actually listens to what we say, and spits it back out! At least all it was was to rub some dirt on it! Too funny. That kid cracks me up!

Happy Third Birthday, my baby Jack. Now STOP growing, darn it!
