Ask Me Anything Pt. 1 Answers

Here are just a few that I have:

Chelsea said...

What's your favorite color? Right now my favorite colors are Green and Yellow. I love bright colors and they always seem to make you feel happier :)

Do you want any more kids? I would love to have more kids, if I win the lottery! We are done having kids and even if we wanted to have more, we couldn't. Dave had the "operation" done in November, so no more for us. I am one of those people who loved being pregnant.. Yeah, I'm a little weird.

When and Why did you become a stay at home mom? I became a stay at home mom on December 12, 2007. My then job was a joke and the manager was an asshole. It never really was supposed to end up like this but I got fired from my job and Dave was making enough to have me stay at home. I love being a stay at home mom and watching my kids grow up right before my eyes, but then again I wish I had more adult interaction. I am planning on going back to work part time when all of the kids are in school, so about 3 years.

What is your favorite movie, and why? Right now my faves are The Hangover and Sweet Home Alabama. I love The Hangover because I can totally see my friends and I like that in Vegas, plus the movie is freaking hilarious! I love Sweet Home Alabama because for one I love Reese Witherspoon and for two its a great love story.

Crystal said...

If you could trade lives with anyone for a day, who would you pick? That's a tough one.. Probably one of my kids. I would love to see what they are thinking, comprehending and being able to just play and now worry about grown up things!

Melanie said...

How did you come up with your kids' names? Dave and I decided that if it was a boy he would be able to pick, and if it was a girl I got to pick. Well our first was a boy and Dave wanted a "Jr." With Reagan, I got to pick. I had a big list of names and when the tech said "girl" the name Reagan popped into my head. Now, Allen was the hardest to name because Dave wanted these hideous names and I was not giving in. So finally we both wrote down all of the boy names we liked and gave them to each other. We would cross off the ones we didn't like and then the ones we did like, we would discuss. Well the only name we both liked was "Allen!"

What did you want to be growing up and do you still want to be it? I have always wanted to be a Labor & Delivery Nurse. Maybe once the kids get a little older, I will go back to school and pursue this dream of mine :)

How different/similar are each of your kids? Good question! Similarities: They all have Dave's skin. All were born with a head full of dark hair, All three have my eyes. They all look alike. Differences: DJ and Allen slept/sleep great as newborns/infants and DJ still does. Reagan didn't start sleeping through the night until she was 18 months. DJ is very hyper and is always on the go, just like Dave. Reagan is really calm like mommy, and can sit and watch a whole movie.

Kayla said...

Was it hard transferring from 2 kids to 3 kids? For me, yes it was a little hard. Having a 3 year old and a 2 year old so close together was probably easier than throwing a newborn into the mix. We were just about out of the diaper/baby stage before we found out we were pregnant, so it was a big shock. It has gotten a little easier since we have found a schedule that is working for us.

What is your favorite type of music? I'm a big fan of hip hop/pop and country. Anything that I can dance to is good with me. I love to listen to music when I am cleaning, so it has to be upbeat and fun. Plus I love to go out and dance!!


Thank you for your questions... I will post more in a few days. If you want to ask me anything, just leave a comment :)

Miscellany Monday

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters


{Work It Out} I will be starting "Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred" tomorrow! I have heard a lot of good things about it and I am ready for someone to whoop my ass into shape. I need to be down to my goal size by my birthday.. I have a long road ahead of me.

{Birthdays} Is it bad that I am already planning June & July birthdays?!? I love, love, love planning parties, get togethers.. you name it! I love the whole aspect of party planning! Maybe its because I am a "lister." I love making lists.. lol

{Spring} I am so tired of this rain, its ridiculous! I can't wait till spring time and the nice weather. Plus, the kids can play outside more often and run off all of the extra energy! Can't wait to get new flip flops at Old Navy and wear all of the bright springy colors!

{Sleep} I am so happy with the way Allen has been sleeping.. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to jinx it!

Happy 2 months Allen!!

I can't believe it... I don't want to believe it...

He has gotten so big and his personality is really shining through!



Things Mr. Allen is doing...

- He currently weighs 12lbs 2oz. He has his 2 month check up on Tuesday, so we will find out exact weight/height/head.
- He is drinking 3-4oz every few hours. {we are on demand feeding}
- He is a great sleeper!!! He wakes up around 2-4 for a bottle then its back to sleep :)
- He is rolling over like a champ!
- Loves to smile. Even when I just say his name, his face lights up.
- He is finally getting some chunk to his legs..  
- He has amazing head control.
- Loves to look around and focus on moving objects.
- Loves tummy time and raises his head to look around.
- Loves to stand.. Little bug has some seriously strong legs!
- He is imitating sounds and I love listening to him babble and tell me stories :)
- He is becoming more communicative & expressive with his face and body.
- Doing great with his hand/eye coordination.
- Will take his fist over his binkie now...
- He is currently wearing 0/3 & 3mo clothing because of how long he is. I was getting all teary eyed putting his newborn clothes in a storage bin... {tear}

Lazy Saturday...

Today the kids and I are having a semi-lazy Saturday. The only big thing I am doing today is the dreaded laundry. I wish I had a maid to do all of my housework for me. Wouldn't that be nice? Well while I was organizing the clothes, Allen was getting fussy so I plopped him in his bouncer and set him on my bed.. He was a happy camper after that. I got a couple of cute pics too!

{Mommy's Little Stud Muffin!!}
Here is a picture of his horrible Cradle Crap.. It has now spread to his forehead and eyebrows, which totally irritates me because all I want to do is pick at it. But I don't. I have been putting baby oil on it and using a soft tooth brush, then washing his hair. It looks like this again in like 12 hours. He has his 2 month check up on Tuesday, so hopefully his ped will give us some cream. It also looks like he is getting eczema on his cheeks :( My poor little guy's skin is just like his big brother's...

I cant believe this little guy will be 2 months old tomorrow.. {Can time please stop, seriously!}

In other news, I think DJ and Reagan are trying to gang up on me and are going on strike from naps. It's taking me 1-2 hours each day just to get them to go to sleep. Some days are better than others, but in general its a fight. But... As I type this, they are both sleeping on the couch {yay!} I let them stay up a little later and it worked cause they both passed out! hahaha mommy wins!!!

Oh and if you like coffee or latte drinks... Try this:



They are super delish and I am super addicted to it!
