JETT

I was feeding Kaleb and Jett was throwing a fit so I told him he needed to leave. He said "Me quiet, sit here." I didnt think anything of it so I let him go "sit" on the humidifier box. HE FELL RIGHT THROUGH! I havent laughed so hard in a long time. He was freaking out. Me being the good mom I am, yelled for Chad to bring the camera before we helped him. He was crying but then after he was out he said "Momma, Jett funny huh?" He kept trying to re-enact it all night. Love him. Jett is such a good little boy. He LOVES his brother to pieces. He is always wanting to play with him, burp him, feed him, and simply just be near him. He listens fairly well. He gives us grief, but usually does it while saying "gosh" the entire time. He is obsessed with Thomas the Train. He has pretty much every train and set available. The walls in his room are covered in Thomas things. He loves it. He also loves to play with the Ipad ("pad pad"). He will play games all day on it if we let him (that is how we got him potty trained by the way!). He is not the best eater. But, of course he loves PIZZA, NUGGETS, SPAGHETTI, RICE, CHIPS, AND COOKIES. Munch Mouth! He is a night owl. He wants to stay up until midnight and sleep until noon. I figure thats the luxury of having a stay at home mommy so we generally let him stay up until 10:30 or 11:00 and he is thrilled. It will be killer come school time. He is turning 3 in a week and a half and it is so weird to me how grown up he is. He is silly and smart and says the darndest stuff. He truly is an amazing little boy! We are so lucky to have him in our lives. He is so sweet and tough at the same time. We couldnt ask for a better 3rd year old!

Dumb Computer

It is no secret that I cuss, but due to my child's ability to say whatever comes out of mine or Chad's mouth (oh, and aunt Kate!) I am working on my swears. But, if I wasnt...I HATE MY DUMMIE COMPUTER!!! It wont let me upload any pictures of the new little Kaleb.
But, until then...

Desperately Need Advice...

I cant believe that little baby K is coming in a week from now. So exciting. I cant wait to meet him and I cant wait for Jett to have a little brother. I am so so happy. Cant even explain it.

Now, on for my concern. Chad's wonderful boss is so good to Chad and I. He is always helping pay for his school and things like that. Well, last March he told Chad about a cruise he wanted to send both of us on. It is all paid for and we wont need ANY MONEY for it. Well, I immediately asked when it was and was told November 27 - December 4...UMMMM, thats a negative. My little K will only be two months old. Well, Chad went ahead and told him we would go. Of course I WANT TO GO, but actually going is another thing. Well, I figured I had months to make up my mind. I have been nervous about it for a long time. The other day his Boss called and said the cruise was cancelled for our saftey. I secretly was jumping up and down, problem solved. I didnt have to leave my baby and I wasn't the nasty mean person to make it happen. Well...before I could celebrate too much he said BUT I AM SENDING YOU TO HAWAII INSTEAD! Hawaii, a place I have always wanted to explore. Mexican Cruise I can live without....but Hawaii. It is two days shorter than the cruise and I wont be stuck in the middle of no-where for four days, unable to call my boys. Chad and I cant afford a weekend getaway let alone a Hawaii vacation. I want to go so bad, but my heart isnt in it because of my babies. Jett and little K will be without me. Plus, I breastfeed my babies. What if I cant get enough milk supply saved? What if K doesnt want a bottle? What if he doesnt want me when I come home?

So, my question is...would you leave your two month old for 5 1/2 days? Is 2 months to young? Do you think the breastfeeding will go on without a problem? Help me. I am so excited to go but I am devestated at the thought of it. It consumes my thoughts. I cant leave Jett and Kaleb....

Just What I needed today!

(mute my music at the bottom of the page!)

I saw this on a friends blog and for some reason the minute I heard Jeffrey Hollands voice it made me start to cry. I hadnt really even heard what said at first. I feel like I have been missing a great part of my life since I started working every sunday morning. I miss going to church and being with my boys there. I do go to the sacrament meeting at the hospital. It is so great that they even do it. It is a half hour long sacrament meeting that really adds to my day, but I miss what going with my familiy brings to me and I miss going to all the meetings. Also, lately I have struggled with my role of in life. No, I dont struggle with being a mom. But, I struggle with how important it is and I have been second guessing myself a lot. I love Jett so much and I worry about the little man I am creating. Am I teaching him everything? Am I stimulating his curiousity in the world and God correctly? Those type of things. This really helped me understand and feel a peace within myself I havent for a long time. I think since my Sister died I have been in a funk trying to comprehend how precious this life is and how important it is to live it correctly. So, thanks Natalie for posting this to your blog. It helped me today more than anything. I love being a mommy and wife and I love knowing that God loves me being both without being anything more. I am so blessed to know of the gospel.

****FYI****

In case you didnt notice I will point it out....LOOK AT MY BABY TICKER! He is head down. Oh, how excited that makes me. Means he is coming soon. 5 MORE WEEKS. Set the C-Day for October 8th. Hurray!!!!! Cant wait.
