Ryder is three months old today! I can't believe how big he is getting. I'm afraid that he'll catch up with Hunter in no time. Hunter is my little shrimp who tops the scale at a whopping 28 pounds. Ryder weighs roughly 10 less pounds. 

On Saturday my cat had 3 kittens. I feel bad, I was going to get her fixed when she turned a year old, but I put it off. When we moved here Hunter let her out of the house a few times. He'd go sit out on the front porch and she's zoom out. I guess one of the times she got knocked up. After she's done nursing she goes strait to the vet! There are 2 girls and 1 boy. Widget, Walden, and Wubbzy are there names. Hunter named them. He's overly obsessed with the show Wow Wow Wubbzy. Our bird's name is Wubzzy too though lol. Kids! 

I've been a lazy mood. Well as lazy as I am allowed to be with two kids lol.

I've been trying to upload pictures, but it's not letting me right now. I'll do that later.

it's been a bit. I'm going to make this short as I possibly can. My father in law was air lifted to a hospital on Thursday. He had a blood sugar level of 1600 (100-ish is normal) Billy wasn't contacted until Friday morning, don't know why. We went to the hospital on Friday to visit. Billy called out of work. We drove 1.5 hours. FIL found out that he was a diabetic. He was told that he was lucky to be alive. We ended up staying at his cousins house in Cape Girardeau because she was going out of town. It helped a lot, so we didn't have to drive to his mom's house (which is 45 minutes away from the hospital) We left on Sunday, which was the day FIL was released. His sugar level was 250 when he left. Hopefully he'll be able to follow his strict diet.

So it's been a bit. I've been a little busy.

Saturday- Billy worked as usual. I wanted to go shopping. It was tax free weekend (some sort of non official holiday weekend where you can go shopping for school type stuff and pay no taxes) I asked my mom if she wanted to go with me, and of course she said yes. We went to a mall that Paul Stanley was selling his art at. Hunter looooooooves Kiss and I was hoping that Hunter could meet him, but we had no luck. Turns out you have to buy a piece of his artwork to meet him and they sold for 1500+!

Sunday-We decided to go to Farmington (the town Billy works in) and look around to see if we liked any houses. We found a few. So we'll have to make appointments to see them this or next weekend. I used to think that I would never live there. Turns out the town is'nt so bad. They have a water and skate park. It seems to have a lot of things I can do with the kids. I would really love to be moved by the end of the year. So hopefully we can achieve that!

Last night I caught Hunter feeding our dog, Baby, popcorn.

Here is my little guy just lounging in his small swing.

Um this onesie is just too funny. Someone in the band Nashville Pussy bought it for Hunter when he was born. I could'nt get rid of it lol.

I recently got my haircut. I decided to take a picture of it. I really need to color it soon.

Baby won't you be my Corona and Lime?

I woke up this morning and Billy rearranged our living room. I've been wanting to, but I haven't had time.

I didn't get to make Mr. Floppy a cross yet. I don't have anything to make it out of. I'm going to ask my parents on Thursday if they have anything that I can use.

Hunter went to my parents house yesterday to see my brother. He came back with this...

Too many pokemon cards. He just sorts them out and looks at them. When he is done he puts them into a tin and carries them around.

Here is Ryder just lounging around.


I found a onesie that belonged to Hunter. I found a picture of Hunter wearing it, so I put it on Ryder. When Hunter fit into the onesie he was 6 months and Ryder is 2.5 months!


When Ryder was taking a nap, Hunter and I went outside to play. Excuse our massive amount of mole hills. Eck. They are so annoying and a PITA to mow over.


My comforter is done in the washing machine and I need to go put it in the dryer!

In her room with her red fingernails

Saturday I was so aggravated. Billy went to work to do landscaping, fine, whatever. I wanted to go to Target. I got the boys ready and went to get my keys. I couldn't find them anywhere. I texted Billy and asked him where they were. He wrote me and told me he had them! I was pissed. He had them because he had moved my car in the driveway and forgot to bring them back it. When we finally got home we ran to Walmart because he needed aloe. Turns out he didn't put sunscreen on and he knew that he would be working outside. We ended up going to a few other places.

Yesterday we ran to Toys R Us. Hunter has a HUGE collection of Cars the movie diecasts. A few cars were released a week or so ago and we've been on a hunt to find them. They are some of the hardest things to find...meaning we didn't find them. We ended up getting Ryder a cool jumperoo type thing that is a horse. He can't use it yet, but they had it on sale. Of all the things in a toy store Hunter wanted a bat and a baseball. I had to go by Petco to get my dogs some shampoo. We walked around and looked at the adoptable pets. They had a little parakeet and Hunter wanted him, so we got him. I've been wanting a bird, but Hunter used to be very afraid of them. Finally, he wanted one. I'll have to get a picture of him tomorrow. Hunter decided to name him Wubzy...from a favorite show of his, Wow Wow Wubzy. I hung the bird from the ceiling. Ryder can see him from his swing and he just watches the bird. He will smile and laugh at the bird for the longest time.

Here is Hunter with his new bat.





Billy went out to the garage to feed and water our rabbit and he found him dead :( Poor Mr. Floppy. We got him a few months before we got married.

RIP Mr. Floppy 2004-2008

Billy buried him under a tree by our back porch. I think tomorrow Hunter and I are I are going to make him a little cross to put where he's buried at.

Hunter went to my parents today because my brother just got home from New Mexico. He went there on a boy scout trip. Hunter adores my brother. My brother is too influential on Hunter. My brother likes to play video games and some kind of card game (possibly magic of the gathering, but I'm not sure) so now Hunter likes walking around our house with some sort of hand held game system or cards. I got him a massive amount of pokemon cards off ebay for a few bucks lol. He won't know they aren't exactly like my brothers.

Here is Ryder playing on his play mat.



And Hunter on it too with Ryder's pacifier.

Power outage!

Our damn power is out. We had a massive storm over the last hour. Nothing happened when it was at it's worst. Towards the end, the power went out. Hopefully Ameren will be out working tonight and it will be restored while I'm sleeping. Eck. It's aggravating. It's suppose to be like 91 tomorrow. I guess I'll be forced to go shopping. What shall I do :)

I have so much breastmilk stored in the freezer. I hope that the power comes on soon! I don't want it to go to waste. It's sad to know that it may :(

Billy is working yet again tomorrow...doing landscaping around his job. WTF? Seriously? He was like, "They would have never asked me to do this in St. Louis, so I decided to do it." My reply was, "Yea, because St. Louis would have paid someone to do it!"

I guess I have like 2 hours or so of life in my laptop. Apprently some moths got into our house. Since there is no other light, they are flying around my computer. I guess I may have to make myself go to bed soon.

The people that we put high up on pedestals crumble like statues

Today was a little rough. I was constantly doing something for the boys. Hunter seemed to be hungry all night. When he was hungry he was making messes (something unusual for him). The rest of the time I spent feeding Ryder.

With some extra time Hunter sat my lap while I tried teaching him how to have control of his fingers. He can't count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on his finger. He can do 1 and 3. I guess we'll work on it again tomorrow.


I'm becoming obsessed with buying odd baby items. Today I bought Ryder some teething pacifiers.

I got one raspberry pacifier. I think in blue. I can't remember.




This one looked odd, but may work for when he's cutting his back teeth. It was only $4, so it was worth a try.


I got this in the mail today. It's called a WubbaNub. It's a stuffed animal attached to a pacifier. The animal helps keep the pacifier in.



Here is my Hunter being goofy.



Here he is playing with some Dora memory cards.


Tonight I broke down and cried for a bit. I felt like I needed to show Ryder, Camille's picture. So I went to our hallway that we have a little memorial for her. I just couldn't stop crying.
I'm so thankful to have 2 wonderfully healthy boys. Ryder is such a calm, happy, non-fussy, great sleeping baby. Hunter is my little helper. He's constantly absorbing the world around him and learning....Speaking of which, I guess Hunter is not allowed to listen to Prince (or whatever he goes by these day) He started going around the house today singing, "I'm a sexy mother fucker." Um yea....or maybe I should take that song off my ipod lol.
