It is on the books!

Well Christian's Surgery is on the books. It will be on August 7th. A week from today! I will have to admit that I am a little nervous about it. He will have to be put under, and that just makes me nervous with his little body. But the good thing is that he will be up and running around in no time! He is having it done at Children's Mercy South. They are really great there. A very dear friend used to work there and she always spoke very highly of them. So I know that he will be in good hands!

I can't wait to see the difference if any it will make! I will keep you all updated! Thanks for your prayers!

Hair Cut!!!!

I did it! I finally cut his hair!!!! It has been six months or more since I really cut his hair! I was growing it all out but his hair is so straight that it started to look untidy. I like my men clean cut! So here are a few pictures of his hair before and after! Enjoy!

Moose, Moose where are you!?!?!?

Okay so it has been a LONG time since I have washed Mr. Moose. He got a bath today. Now for you to understand how hard it is to get Mr. Moose away from Christian for 1 hour, I have been tempted to wash him at night when he is asleep and not holding on to him. Well today I said to Christian after breakfast, after he ran his Moose through his blueberry syrup," it is time for Mr. Moose to get a bath", and we went into the laundry room and I said "give moose a kiss and put him in the tub." He gave moose a kiss and then he started to put moose in the washer and then he said "NOOOO!!!!!!! " I said" Christian Moose is all sticky and he needs a bath." So together we put moose in the washer. We started it and watched moose go round and round! He keeped going into the laundry room to check and see if he was done yet. It was so cute. When he was done with the washer, we put him in the dryer. Now Christian thought that Moose was having a grand ol' time in the dryer because he keep laughing at him going round and round. Again he keeped going in to the room to see if he was done. Finally he was done and Christian came and got me and said "Mommy, MOOO!!!!!" So we went and got him and he has not let go of him since.
Moose is his lovey, He does not go anywhere without him and God forbid we leave and forget Moose we will hear "MOOSE, MOOSE, MOOSE!!!" I was the same way with my blanklet. Mom and Grandma said that I used to bang on the washer untill my blanklet was done washing. We have front loading washer and dryer so Christian can see his friend take a swim!!! There was no banging just watching and a little crying! At least my son has a Moose that he loves and it is not a pink fluffy bunny of some sort. It is sorta manly! Right?? Here are a few pictures of him watching and waiting!!! Enjoy!

Kids Driving and Locking Me OUT!!!!

Okay so I park my car in the garage and I leave my keys in the car. I figured if someone breaks into my house they can take my car! LOL (Jory would kill me if he knew I said that!!) So Christian and I get back from Walmart just a little bit ago, and I took him out of his seat and close the garage. He climbs into my car on the drivers side and says "drive, drive" but it sounds like"ride, ride." I am taking stuff out of my car when I hear the door shut and I said to myself "oh no my keys are in the car!" As soon as I thought it he hit the door lock!!!!! OMG!!!!! I tried for about 20 mins trying to get him to open the door and he just kept laughing and hitting the garage door button. In fact he hit every button other than the one I wanted him too!! I have a spare key to my car, but I have not had it since we have moved into the house 1 year ago!! So after 20 minutes of that nonsence I decided to look in all of my hand bags and totes for my spare keys!! If you know me you know that it is alot!!! LOL. Well luckly I found them! They were in a purse that I have not used in a while. Go fig! So I was able to open the door. I am VERY lucky that he did not do that at Walmart or anywhere outside. It is like 95* today and It would have gotten hot in the car REAL fast! I would have been real worried! It scarred me enough just having him locked in the car in the garage! So the moral of the story is don't leave you keys in the car if you let your 2 year old "drive"!!! He will drive you crazy trying to get him OUT!!!!

Veggie Puree

So a few posts back I said I was doing this new way of cooking! Well it is working like a charm!! Christian is getting his veggies and he loves the food! I am sorta making up my own recipes along the way too. So far I have not goofed anything up yet! When Christian was first born I tried to make him baby food. Well I sucked at it. It is basically the same thing as making the puree's! I think when I was making the baby food, I was not steaming the veggies long enough! Well now I fell like a pro! I am SO making my own baby food for the next baby! Who knows when that will be! LOL Julie and Mom you both will be so proud of me! Anywho I just had to tell you about the new way of eating! It is WORKING!!!!! YEA!!!!

The Tongue

The Tongue. Well Christian had his appointment today with Dr. Lisa Roh, at the ENT of Kansas City. Well she said that he will have to have it clipped. She said that it was completely my decision, but her recommendation was that we went ahead and took care of it. The bad part about it is, that he will have to be knocked out to do it. It is not something that could be taken care of in the office, because he is just too young and I would not want to hold him still that long! He is in the inbetween stage to do it there. So we will have to schedulal his surgery at one of the hospitals. I hope that our insurance will let us go to Childrens Mercy South. They are really good with kids. So lets pray that we can go there! Anywho I just wanted to update you all on the tongue situation! So there you have it. And that is all I have for right now!

The Lake

Hello Hello!!!! Well we are back from the lake! We had a grand ol time! My parents were supposed to come down, but my Mom was SOOOO wiped after her week away at Pre-teen camp. So they did not come down, but Adam and Paula were there and Brandon and Janell too. Plus Paula's parents were in town as well! It was a nice and relaxing weekend. Jory and I went down on Thursday and came back on Sunday morning. We had a great time on the boat. Christian was so funny, he was jumping off the back of the boat. He loved it! I was such a mom tho, because I keep holding on to the back of his life jacket. Well anyways, That is all I can think of right now! Here are a few pictures and videos. The videos are of Brandon, Paula and Jory! Enjoy!

A New Thing!

Well now that I am a mom, I think about how many fruits and veggies that Christian is getting on a daily basis. When he was born I swore to myself that I would NOT be the mom that makes two meals at lunch and at dinner. I still have not done that, but maybe once or twice. He started off by eating lots of fruits and veggies and as he has gotten older I have had a hard time getting him to eat the veggies at dinner. Dr. Oz ( off the Oprah Show) says that it is perfectly normal for a child NOT to like his or her veggies. They tend to eat the fruits because they are sweet. Kids I guess have 3 times more taste buds than the average normal adult. Go fig! That is why I find myself telling Christian eat you green beans or eat your, whatever! So I was watching Oprah the other day, and she had Jessica Seinfeld on and she had this cook book out called "Deceptively Delicious!" It is full of the kids favorites. Such as Mac & Cheese, Chicken Nuggets...ect! Well they are not just the regular ingredients but they have veggies in them. Veggie Puree to be exact! What a GREAT idea! So that is what I am going to do while Christan is sleeping tomorrow making veggie puree! I am so excited about this. The food looks wonderful and healthy. I have been working out at least 4 days a week now and I have been giving myself a guilt trip if I don't go. I am seeing results already, and with this new way of cooking, maybe I will get the veggies in that I normally don't eat. I am all for trying something new you know!

Jory and I last Friday, took Christian to the ball game! Woo hoo, he did really well. I guess I should say that my parents took us to the game. We went with them! It was so much fun! Christian really liked Cracker Jacks! I just gave him the bag and he sat there eating them for like 4 or 5 endings. He danced and OOOOed and AHHHed for the fireworks and flirted with the gal behind us! What a ladies man! All in all it was fun for all!

We are off to the lake again this coming weekend. My parents are coming down with us. I am needing to get on the boat and have some fun in the sun! Can't wait!

So I guess that my Mom and Christan and I are going to go to North Carolina sometime in September to visit my Grandpa Bru. I guess that he can hardly wait till we come and see him. That will be my first time flying with Christian. I don't know how that will go. I am sure that it will be fine, My mom will be with me to help. Christian is pretty good so I won't have to worry about him pulling the emergency exit or anything!

So that is my boring life...I really don't have much going on, but I will post some pics of the lake trip when I get back from that.

Oh yeah and I had a GREAT time seeing my cousins, almost all of them on the Plaskett side yesterday! The only cousin that was missing was Angie! We sure missed her! It was great seeing Adrienne and Carly. I sure missed them! They are both in San Fran working and living a fun and exciting life! I think that they would argue with me about that, but to me it is exciting!

Anywho that is all if have for now!
