Oh Big Brother...

Why do you have to play me like that....

So if you are a Big Brother Junkie like myself, then you know whats going down..

First off, in the beginning I wanted all of the veterans out of the house and was rooting for Sherri & Cassie... Well after a few weeks, I really started to like Jordan & Jeff... Love them! I know I have said that I can not stand Rachel, but when she is away from Brendon she is actually a good competitor.. Yeah she's very annoying, but now I kind of feel bad for her.. {gasp!}

So fast forward to Sunday night, I can not believe what Kalia is doing! She just got some big targets on her! I started to like Danielle and Kalia and then when she pulled this crap with Jeff, I now want her gone! I actually know what happens on tonight's episode, thanks to wikipedia :) There are so many floaters going around the house and they don't do anything at all.. I can not wait to see them go home!

I am so excited for tonight's episode!!

And then the eviction tomorrow!!

See Ya!!!

Happy 7 Months, Allen!

Sweet Baby Boy,

Seriously, Seven Months?!? It seems like just yesterday I was blogging your six months. This has been my favorite month so far! You have done so many new things this month, it just amazes me! You mastered crawling and can now go from the living room to the bedroom in 5 seconds flat. You also learned that you can pull yourself up on everything... You got three more teeth this month and love your baby teeth smiles! Your personality is starting to show more and more and so far we are head over heels for you. Last night you let go of the couch and stood by yourself for a good 5 seconds. You are going to be an early walker, just like your big sister. I can not wait to see what new exciting things bring!!

I love you,
Mommy

♥ Happy Seven Months, Allen!! ♥

Hello August!

Hello August!

August, I am so happy you are here!

This month is back to school month

Only 20 more days till school starts!!

This past weekend I had a yard sale and it was a complete fail.. We only made like $40... DJ and Reagan made out pretty good they sold cookies and lemonade for .25c each.

Allen now has 4 teeth. Three of them came in at the same time.. poor guy was so crabby and in pain. As you can see he is happy they have broke through!

I gave Allen some smashed up bananas and let him go at it. He thought it was the greatest thing!

DJ and I relaxing after a long day with the yard sale.. it was a very long day..

brothers...

This is Allen's new thing. He loves to get on all 4's and crawl around. My dad says he is doing his baby push ups.. hahahaha

Allen loves to crawl everywhere and pull himself up on things. I think he was trying to tell us that he wants back in his infant seat. He has graduated to a convertible seat! He is using Reagan's Britax and he is loving all of the freedom and he can see everything now!

My dirty little girl.. She loves to play at papa's house and by the end of the day, she is covered in dirt, mud and anything else she can get her hands on..

Hope you have a great week!!

slacker...

Talk about slacking...

Sheesh!

It has been such a crazy month and now that kids birthdays are out of the way till January, I can relax.. The kids had a blast at their party and so did everyone who came! Is it bad that I am already planning Allen's 1st Birthday Party?!?

Speaking of Allen, He had his Neurologist appt earlier this month. Right when the Dr walked in, he noticed that one of Allen's cheeks is bigger than the other. Hmmm, I didn't even realize it until he said it. He does not have to wear a helmet for his Plagiocephaly since he has a minor case. He will just be getting therapy! He also had his 6 month check up on the 13th and is growing like a weed.. He is tipping the charts at 18lbs 4oz and 28 1/4 inches long. I think he might be taller than both Dave & DJ.. Sheesh! He got one shot then and will be getting the other ones this friday. Allen is a full on crawler now and can go from the living room to the kids room in less than 5 seconds... hahahaha

DJ had his 4 year check up on monday and is also growing like crazy.. He is a hair under 39 inches tall and is 38.6lbs. He is very picky with what he eats and is so hyper, he burns all those calories off. So if he doesn't start gaining weight soon, I will be supplementing with protein shakes/pediasure. He is just so skinny, I wish I had his energy and metabolism..

Reagan is 3 years old.. oh my goodness... Where has the time gone?!? She doesn't have her check up until the beginning of september. We weighed her the other day and she is a tiny 28lbs.. She is so petite and dainty..lol She is going to get some tests done to make sure everything is okay with her. Since she has Pica and is borderline anemic, I need to get her on a better vitamin and get her hair growing. I swear it has stopped.. Her Iron deficiency can cause her hair to slowly grow, but her ped wants to make sure her glands/nodes are working properly..

School starts in a few weeks and I could not be happier!!! I am ecstatic that DJ and Reagan will be in the same class and will maybe start bonding better at home. It is going to be so nice to have some peace and quiet at home and get that one on one with Allen. I will also be able to get a lot more done at home :)

26 days...!
