Three teeth and counting!
After two looong hard weeks of teething. I knew a tooth had to be coming through at any minute. Momma was right. Three down 17 to go!

Im watching Extreme Couponing....
All the processed junk this lady just got for free.. to feed her family, actually grosses me out:/ Six carts full. Its amazing, but gross.
You know what I dont care for?
When Im home alone, and out of nowhere a toy goes off without anyone being around it. Creeps me.. the hell.. out. I feel like this happens to me quite often :/

So, I'm at the park
Carlos asked us to come and meet him for lunch. Littlest buggaboo fell asleep, and so desprately needs it that I can’t wake him. So, I’m in the car with him while Carlos watches Cash play. I’m sad though, I was looking forward to a little adult convo. Oh well, gotta do what’s best for the kid.
Cruz fell off the bed...
I knew it was coming. He’s been on the move like a crazy man. I wasnt really pushing him to roll from back to belly (he had once or twice before, he was actually crawling before rolling back to front, wasnt worried though) because I knew once he got it his mobility would surly take him off the bed. I remember going through this with Cash too. Thats right, family bed with both my boys,...
Sometimes validation is all you need
Okay maybe not all you need but it sure does feel good. I just got off the phone with my Mom. Her and my Dad have had Cash at their house for the past couple days. She called to talk about a few things she’s noticed about our little man, and she wanted to talk to me before we were in his presence. About halfway through what she was saying I broke down into tears. Yes! That is my life...
Wouldnt you know it!
So we went to Cash’s new preschool last night for the Open House. It went really well. The place is awesome and I think its going to be a perfect fit. The women that run the show are also very comfortable to be around and the teacher is a wonderful little older lady thats been doing this for thirty some years. Very cool.
So wouldnt you know that I didnt realize until right before we are...
How Funny!
I had to take a picture. I have never actually seen anyone do their stretching exercises at the gas pump before. All the power to him for not giving a damn who sees.
Its kinda hard to make out but he has one of his legs hoisted on the hood of his van and he would streeeetch his arm to the side. Good for him, too funny though!
I dont want it to be Sunday already...
Why do the weekends seem to go by faster than the week days? Im sad. I dont want the hubby to go back to work :( he makes me smile.
"Dancing in the Streets"
We went to another little event in downtown Poulsbo. They actually close off the whole street and have live music playing. It was so much fun and there were so many families and little kids dancing and having a great time. The only thing is the music was so loud we were compelled to cover littlest mans ears the whole time. When the sun set it awoke the most beautiful full moon. You can see it...
Guess who showed up for dinner last night!?!
Captain America!!
Bottle that up!
Seriously, if there was one scent I could bottle up and keep forever, it would be the scent of my baby. Every morning when he wakes, and I go in to give good morning cuddles, I am intoxicated by my first breath of him. My heart seems to start beating faster, as if its literally feeling to the brim with love. Sounds kinda cheesy but its the truth, I tell ya. Its like he’s been marinading in sweet...
Our trip to Seattle with Nana
We decided to head to Seattle in lieu of Sea fair weekend. Its about an hour and a half trip there and I was posted up right in-between these two knuckleheads.
First on our agenda was to watch the Blue Angels. Good Lord were they amazing! I took a couple shots but nothing that would do these air craft justice.
Then it was off to the Seattle Center. We wanted to take Mom to the Space...
How did I forget?
To share that Cruz cut his first tooth!! It was two weeks ago when I first felt it but since then he has worked out yet another tooth. So now both the middle bottom teeth are out. Yay for him:) Only 18 more to go. Ugh! Poor little guy.

hey girl, the only time my babe can sleep is if someone lays with him or in the swing. that’s what i do during the days to get some work done around here. do you have one? good luck!! hugs to you..
As a matter of fact we did have a swing for a couple months. We recently took it back though because of the shortage of space in our home. Lord do I...

Maybe she will be able to help out and give you some time to rest! My heart goes out to you, Hang in there! :)
Thanks Mama. Your completely right. She is going to be a huge help. Ive already received a whole day (well close enough, like 5-6 hrs) to myself! Hubby and MIL took the boys so it was nice. Thanks for the encouragement.
Wish me luck
Mother-in-law will be arriving at my home in T-minus 2 hours, aaand she will be here for a whole week. Yaaaayyy… (marginally enthused)…
Nothing against her. Im just so F*cking tired! Still no sleep. Cruz wakes every 45 minutes to 2 hours from the moment I put him to bed. Im beyond exhausted. Maybe even starting to slip a little towards the dark side :/ (depression) Im holding out but...

I love it when Cruz laughs in his sleep. Sweetest little giggle ever. Makes me happy to know hes having a good dream.
JUST ANOTHER JOURNEY: Mama said there'd be days... →
nickyhawkins:
You held a rock up to your ear tonight, 2 miles down the dirt road at the lake house and put your finger up, signaling me to be quiet while you talked to the person on the other end of the phone. I paused, waiting to hear who you were talking to and when I finally did you told me that you…
This is so touching.
So emotional these days, I tell ya. The lack of sleep has...
Watchbabylux:
I put together a lot of clips from the past year into one little video for Rosie to see some day. It’s a little rough, but that’s 12 months of life!
Maybe Im just feeling emotional today but this video was so sweetly done that it had me tearing up the whole way through.. I loved it.. Beautiful.. Check it out..
Thank you to the ladies that gave me some great support and advice about sleep help. I have been lost in reviews for the last hour and Im so excited to go to the bookstore and check these books out. I will be sure to update my finds and hopefully my successes soon :) Sleep tight, xoxo
Sleep and Personal Space
Right now in life, I have none of either. Cruz has completely become dependent on the boob to fall asleep and to stay asleep. Cash was the same way, and he didnt end up sleeping through the night (or for more than 2-3 hours at a time rather) until he was 14 months old. It was horrible, and a lot of times it was only 45 minute stretches of sleep. I went into a deep deep depression. I for sure did...
