Another day!

Hi again! I have no idea who is out there. Since I changed my blog name I think I lost a ton of my readers...not that I had a ton. Anyways. Today was Archer's first day at "destination Imagination." This is a community ed class that Jonah has been a part of since he was Arch's age. He LOVED it! He totally joined with all the older kids and had a blast. All the moms were so funny. They kept saying that his eyes are too pretty to be a boys...funny and true! I am so happy that he had a good time. He normally doesn't do well in groups in a place that he has never been, but he really enjoyed himself. What is strange about Jonah is that he used to really like the circle time where they read stories and sing songs, but now he wants nothing to do with it. He totally just wants to run around...I guess I should expect that he is a 3 (almost) year old boy. It is funny sometimes I just need to write something for it to make sense to me...hahaha! 

As some of you may know I loooove the movie "Forrest Gump" did you know that?? Anyways I have heard of the resturant "bubba gump," but because I hate seafood I never thought about eating there....Until.....My friend Tricia who is crazy obsessed with and eats there all the time told me they did movie trivia! Long story short we ate there today, and I got almost all the questions right! The waitress had to talk to other waiters to try and stump me...and boy they did...a few times! I had a TON of fun! Thanks Trix!

 I hope you are all well, and happy that you have found my blog! 

Where have I been...Oh yeah

Where have I been? Well I have been really busy reading my other posts from last year. I really like them. It is funny because back then I thought I was just blabbing away...well I guess that is true, but it is kinda fun. So many things that I had forgotten about. I really liked reading stuff that I forgot about my kids. So I am going to write a lot about my kids now.

Jonah's potty training can best be described as a see-saw. Up and down! He will do it for a while, then hate the crap out of it and not want to anymore. This is hard for us. We just want him to be done with all the diapers, and I think he will feel really good about himself once he gets it all the way down. He is so amazing. He will get hooked on talking about one thing for like a week. Most of the time we have no idea what he is talking about, and that is why I think he keeps talking about it. Jonah thinks if he just says it 100 times that we will get it. I never do. Last week he was talking about a bunny. Bunny is sleeping and something about him being scared or something...no idea. Now this week he is talking about birds and lights? Something about birds and how they have lights or something....? I have no clue. He also is mimicking Archer's bad behaviors. I think he sees Arch getting attention when he is bad, and he wants some too! We are trying to break him from this. Jonah seems to like to just hang with Mom and Dad more. He has been such an independent child. Playing on his own A LOT. But now it seems he wants to be on my lap playing or sitting on the bed talking to me while I am doing things on the computer. I love playing with him. It has been really fun now that he talks so much more. He can tell me how he feels and his thoughts! It is really cool. Since he was very little when he would wake up he would just talk (gibberish when he couldn't say words), and we always assumed he was telling us about his dreams. So now that we have given his "dreams" and name..."dream" he is even MORE talkative in the morning...when he is not starving to death for breakfast.

Archer. What to say about that little man. He is our little tornadoe softy...why that name you ask? Well because he is either acting like a tornadoe or a total cuddly softy. When he gets mad he gets even. He loves to bite and hit when he is mad. It is crazy. We of course are trying to break that habit, but Jonah sure doesn't pick on him anymore. Archer is also know as the laugher. He thinks most everything is funny. He laughs everytime Jonah looks at him. They have been playing this funny chasing game with each other lately...they just chase each other and LAUGH really hard. They are so cute.
More later....

Hard to read!

Wow! My last post is sooo hard to read! Reason number 1 why I shouldn't blog while parenting...that combo is deadly! Yikes!

The sick Amber Rae

Working at Industries Inc. I worked with 75 people everyday. Men and women who every night come home to 2 different work staff each day. All staff who come from a home of 1-6 people. You can imagine how fast a cold, or the flu can spread around. Needless to say my crappy immune system could not fight off every bug that came my way. Actually I didn't fight it off most of the time. I was sick ALL the time. I was a sneezing fool to be honest. I even caught a very bad case of pnemonia and was in the hospital for 10 days...you probably remember reading about it in my earlier posting. I was quite used to it. 

Anyways since working at Carlson Studio in an almost seclusive envirment I haven't been very sick once I have worked there in fact and after one day of rest I felt much better and moved on. Now as I haven't been exposed to a real bug in over 8 months I have become a really crazy sick lady. I have no idea why? I am extremely emotional. As many of you know I am not a "cryer," not at all. For me to cry is kinda a big deal. I also don't really enjoy your typical "cry" movie (ie The Notebook, Titanic, I can't even name any more).  It isn't that I am proud of it. I do wish that I could cry a bit more, but it just isn't me. ANYWAYS....Today I have been crying, and upset, and whiny, and miserable, and completly out of wits. I don't think Matt knows what to do with me har,har,har. I asked him to rent some movies for me, the sweetheart that he is he ran right out and rented me two flicks. The first a adapted version of a Nicolas Sparks book. Wow, stopped me dead in my tracks, or would have. In my current condition I popped it in and cried almost the whole way through. Even while this is going on I realise that this isn't normally me. I would be laughing my tail off. I also have needed Matt right next to me ALL day. Cuddling me, and just sitting next to me. He of course doesn't mind, because he is the sensitive one in this relationship. Another thing I am not super proud of. I am not myself and I hope that this crazy person soon fades away along with all the symptoms that came with it...and Jonah would say "booger nose." 

Nikon D80

Hi there friends!

I have decided to sell my Nikon D80. If anyone out there is needing a fun camera, with more features you will ever need let me know. It is sad to see her go, but I know someone can give her a good home. More than likely the new owner will get more use out of it than I did. I think most of have seen the photos that she has taken, but if you want me to show some I can! Thank you!

Baby Shower invites!

Most of you know my BEST friend Samm is having a BABY! yay! Here are the invites to her baby shower that I made.....I am really critical of my own work so it takes a lot for me to post them. Anyways enjoy!
