I WOULD LOVE IT IF EVERYONE COULD TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO WATCH A VIDEO ON A BLOG THAT I FOLLOW. IT IS VERY INSPIRING! I STRUGGLE EVERYDAY WITH ISSUES AND THIS BLOG, BUT ESPECIALLY THIS VIDEO REMINDS ME HOW SMALL MY ISSUES AND PROBLEMS ARE COMPARED TO OTHERS. ENJOY! * GO TO "TALK OF THE WEEK" BLOG ON MY BLOG LIST. THE MOVIE IS TITLED "MY NEW LIFE."

ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE!!!!

2010-05-10T18:47:00.001-07:00

I HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH BROOKLYNN ACTING LIKE A BABY. I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BUT DID NOT THINK IT WOULD BE SO HARD FOR ME TO HANDLE. I FEEL SO BAD FOR BROOKE BECAUSE BAELEY IS A VERY NEEDY BABY. I FEEL I AM ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF THE BABY AND NOT AS MUCH WITH BROOKE. I AM TRYING TO BE MORE PATIENCE AND EXPLAIN THAT SHE IS "BIG" SISSY NOW AND MOMMIE NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THE BABY AT TIMES. I JUST FEEL BAD AND WOULD LIKE SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO WELCOME A NEW BABY WHEN YOU HAVE A TODDLER?! :)

LIL' SISSY IS HERE!

2010-04-16T14:28:00.001-07:00

PRINCESS BAELEY WAS BORN MON APRIL 12TH AT 12:13PM. I PUSHED TWICE AND SHE WAS HERE! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE TWO LIL ANGELS! BROOKLYNN IS SO IN LOVE! SHE HAD TO HELP CARRY HER ALL THE WAY FROM THE HOSPITAL ROOM TO THE CAR! AND SHE HELPS FEED HER AND IS ALWAYS MAKING SURE SHE HAS HER BINK IN HER MOUTH! SHE IS MORE HELP THAN I IMAGINED! SHE RUBS HER HEAD AND SAYS SISSY SOOOO CUTE!!! BAELEY IS IDENTICAL TO BROOKLYNN WHEN SHE WAS BORN! IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE AS SHE GETS BIGGER! I AM DOING OK! IT'S VERY HARD FOR ME TO JUST REST AND LAY DOWN BUT I AM TRYING! AARON IS HELPING SO GREATLY! I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH A CARING AND LOVING AND HELPFUL HUSBAND! HE GETS ME THROUGH EVERYTHING! SO NOW WE ARE A FAMILY OF FOUR :) WE ARE SO LUCKY AND IN-LOVE WITH OUR GIRLS!!!!!!

NO TV and LOVIN IT

2010-04-04T19:42:00.000-07:00

So we got rid of our comcast triple play about two weeks ago.... I don't miss it at all!!!! We r saving over a hundred bucks every month by not having it.! It was hard the first couple days but now I have every second with my little girl! Tv is just so addicting and takes time away from family and other things. We watch movies and have just so much more quality time together! Aaron has internet on his phone wich is included in our phone bill. Anyways I recommend no tv and more family time!!! U don't know what ur missing :)

changing the baby name.........

2010-03-28T20:10:00.000-07:00

I have been losing sleep over naming our baby stella. I love that name but I also love the name BAELEY! And if we ever had a boy I have a name picked out and it starts with a B too. So we r going to go with naming our kids all with the letter B. So the little girl due anyday now will be called BAELEY LOUISE LOVE. And finally making a decision has put me at ease and I am beyond excited about it!!!!! So brookynn and baeley!

A DAY OUT!

2010-03-20T17:27:00.001-07:00

SO I HAVE MOSTLY BEEN STAYING HOME, NOT GETTING READY, BEING EXHAUSTED AND SORE! I STAY IN BED ALOT. ANXIOUS, DEPRESSED, TIRED. YA KNOW EVERYTHING I'M SICK OF BEING FOR THE PAST NINE MONTHS. SO AARON SAID GET READY AND LETS GO OUT. WE WENT TO SEE OUR FRIENDS THAT JUST HAD A BABY BOY FOR A BARBEQUE. I GOT ALL READY, WHICH IS TOTALLY EXHAUSTING AT THIS POINT! AND WE WENT AND HAD A GREAT TIME! BROOKIE WAS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY! SHE IS SO WELL BEHAVED! IT WAS A NICE AFTERNOON! WE ALL WORE OUR SUNGLASSES, WHICH BROOKIE WEARS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME SO I DECIDED TO TAKE OUR PICTURES :)

TODAYS LEARN TIME!

2010-02-11T13:24:00.000-08:00

I FOUND A COOL SITE FOR MORE ACTIVITIES TO DO WITH YOUR KIDS AT ANY AGE! TODAY FOR LEARN TIME I CHOOSE TO MAKE A ICE CREAM CONE THAT WILL TEACH BROOKIE COLORS. I AM GOING TO GET THEM LAMINATED THEN CUT THEM OUT AND TAPE THEM TO A WALL SO SHE CAN SEE THEM ALL THE TIME AS WE ADD MORE COLORS TO THE CONE! THIS PROJECT WILL BE LIKE A MONTH LONG OR MORE PROJECT, TEACHING HER COLORS BECAUSE I KNOW SHE WILL NOT FULLY LEARN THEM FOR AWHILE :) IT WAS JUST A CUTE IDEA AND IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY! THE WEBSITE IS..... WWW.first-school.ws

OH BROTHER :)

ABOUT LEARN TIME.......

2010-02-03T08:41:00.000-08:00

I LOVE TEACHING BROOKIE NEW THINGS! I LOVE SEEING THINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME THROUGH HER EYES! A FEW MONTHS AGO I WENT ONLINE TO SOME "HOMESHOOL" SITES TO GET SOME IDEAS FOR MYSELF TO TEACH HER. ONE BLOG LEAD TO ANOTHER, THEN TO ANOTHER, ETC, AND NOW I HAVE MANY I LOOK AT EVERYDAY FOR FUN IDEAS! I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT HOMESCHOOLING MY KIDS. LOOKING MORE INTO IT I REALLY WOULD LIKE TOO! BUT I DO KNOW BOTH HOMESCHOOL AND REGULAR SCHOOL BOTH HAVE BENEFITS AND THEIR BADS! BUT FOR NOW I JUST LOOK ON THE HOMESCHOOL SITES FOR IDEAS FOR BROOKLYNNS "LEARN TIME." I PREPARE THINGS AT NIGHT THEN WE DO THE PROJECTS THE NEXT DAY! I LOVE IT! I DO ALOT OF PRINTOUTS ON THE COMPUTER, OR WE WATCH LEARNING VIDEOS ON UTUBE. THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS YOU JUST NEED TO TAKE TIME TO EXPLORE THEM! I HAVE ONE SITE ON MY BLOG "CHOCOLATE CRANIUM" THAT HAS SOME IDEAS FROM A MOM WHO HOMESCHOOLS. SO JUST EXPLORE THE INTERNET AND FIND CUTE, FUN IDEAS TO DO WITH YOUR KIDS!

LEARN TIME!

2010-01-29T12:20:00.000-08:00

I SET ASIDE ABOUT AN HOUR A DAY FOR BROOKIE TO LEARN SOMETHING! SINCE SHE IS SO LITTLE WE HAVE BEEN READING OR DRAWING, BUT TODAY WE MADE A FISH TANK AND SHE KNOWS ALL THE ANIMALS WE CUT OUT TO PUT INTO THE TANK. I LOVE DOING PROJECTS WITH HER AND SHE LOVES LEARNING NEW THINGS!
