My Boys


Sorry for being gone soooo long! I decided that I've neglected blogging for far too long...so, here's a quick update!
Josh has been crawling, pulling up, and walking along the furniture for a while now. He is actually trying to take steps without holding onto the couch. He holds on to the couch with one hand and then tries to step out away from the couch. He ends up catching himself with the other free hand, so it's not so bad when he falls. lol! He is eatting quite a bit of 'real' food these days! Eggs, meat, pancakes, mashed potatoes, cereal, mac n' cheese, and I can't thing of anything else right now. He has 4 teeth! The teeth seem to have their own pattern to their arrival. One bottom, one top, one bottom, then another on top. He just got over having a case of the Roseola (a viral infection followed by a rash over the entire body...) He is much better now.
James' vocabulary is still ever expanding. We are able to have 'conversations' about things. I started pre-school with him, but we don't do it everyday, just because I don't want to 'burn him out'. He can count to 15, knows 10 colors, can recognize 5 different shapes (and can draw them too!), he can also recognize money coins...quarter, dime, nickle, penny, we are working on pattern, and the alphebet (he can recognize to 'D')...there's more but I think you got the point...
Robby took on another full time job as a Paramedic for the local EMS service. So, now he has 2 full time jobs and a part time job. It's sucks. He is gone ALL THE TIME, but we are determined to be debt free, built our dream house (and pay cash for it), and put as much money in retirement as we can.
I am 'hanging in there' I guess you could say. I'm still trying to loose the baby weight. 8 weeks on bed rest didn't do me ANY favors, that's for sure! I've lost 7 more pounds...honestly, I don't really care about the pounds, I would rather loose the inches... We did a tremendous amount of yard work yesterday, so I'm looking kinda lobsterish today! lol!
I guess that's about all for now. OH!! P.S.. Robby is taking 5 days off and we are going to Hot Springs, Arkansas! I can't wait to get away. The kids will be staying with the Grandparents... I'm sure they will fight over who gets the kids while were gone! lol!! Here are a few pics.
