Barf

You guys if there is one thing that I TRULY struggle with as a mom it is dealing with... wait for it... PUKE. BARF... you get the idea. Well, it just so happens that every time one of my kids get sick they feel like the best place to puke is ON me.

I love my boys more than life itself- but when there is throw up down my shirt or in my hair or pooling in between my legs- its tough to feel the love.
But really.
So today we had a good day, I mean we went to the park and played out back for a while- played in our neighbors yard for a while... had a good dinner. That's where it went south. Decker told us he was "all done" so I took him out of his chair and sat him on my lap- which is when he proceeded to toss his cookies all over my legs and floor.
We  I got it cleaned up, and we went on with the night, taking it easy of course. But Decker was happy as a clam. So I figured he had eaten too much or maybe had some sour milk. Got the kids bathed and was looking at a book with Decker in his room---

Then he up-chucked all over my AGAIN. and I mean a TON- massive amounts. It took ALL I had to not throw up. I won't go into all the nasty details... but wow. So we hopped in the shower (again) and got all clean.

Not that you needed to know all that. I just need my kids to know how much I love them to handle times like these. As much as I hate the smell and look of the it (I mean everyone does, right) all I can do during these times is feel sympathy for my sweet boys. I HATE seeing my precious babes sick- I wish I could make it all go away. When I put Decker down for the night I rocked him just a few minutes longer as he snuggled into my arms and it brought back so many memories of my mom rocking me to sleep when I was not feeling well. I so hope that Carter and Decker can remember as well.
Being a mom has been tough, but the best thing that has ever happened to me - besides meeting Stuart! ;) I am trying to remember to be patient with myself as I let myself start to feel guilty or start comparing!! Alright- I don't want to get too mushy tonight...
So after running to the store to get pedialyte for tomorrow I cam come and am enjoying some ice cream... preparing for a long night!

"Honey"

Wahoo. I am on a roll. :) SOO this week- was seemingly boring, but looking back at the pictures I took- maybe it wasn't? Its been a fun week! Let's start out with my goals for this last week- well if you remember it was to read the scriptures with my boys every day-- sadly I only did this 2 days this week. SO this will be my goal for this week as well. My second goal was to make my bed every day- I am HAPPY to report that I did much better with this goal. I made the bed 5 out of the 7 days. :) But I want to keep this goal for another week as well. Wish me Luck! :) Carter tarter pants... He has said some pretty funny things this week. First and foremost -- he has started calling me HONEY. It drives me bonkers and he thinks it is hilarious.... Stuart thinks it is funny too... gah. Another thing is when he is playing pretend he refers to himself as Carter Turnbow. So I asked him why he was saying "Turnbow" for his last name and he said so he could be just like Grandm...

Update on Summer

Well- I did it again. I stopped posting, life got in the way. I can't believe how fast the summer went, I mean, really. I wish I could say it was because we went on super fun vacations and to the pool all the time... because that certainly is not the case. I am a pretty boring mom. :) We stayed home a lot and went on a lot of bike rides. I wish I would have gone swimming more with the littles, but I was too nervous to take them on my own. Both Carter and Decker love the water and have no fear- which makes for one anxious mama at the pool. The other part is I was not feeling well because of the pregnancy-- but I will do a separate post on that next. So we played a lot inside and worked on the yard. . . oh the yard! I just have to say that its looking amazing! All of Stuart's hard work paid off. The grass is coming in and is simply beautiful!!!! We have been clear to walk on the front and even mow it! The back is a little bit slower in coming ...

What would you do for a free cookie?

I just have to post this so I don't forget this. What I am about to relate is 100% true and I am, honestly, still in shock from it all. . . At the end of last week Carter and our little neighbor friend (he is a few years older than Carter) were having a great time playing. They decided to go and ride bikes. Now, since Carter is only 4, we really limit where he is allowed to ride his bike without a parent. (I know I am kind of like a helicopter parent- but he is ONLY 4!) So when the boys headed out I reminded him to stay on our street and out of the street and to let me know where he would be at all times. . . That last I knew- they were going to be at his friends house... So when his mom texted me and asked me to send him home--- you know me--- I went into FULL panic mode. Went outside and was looking up and down the street and they were no where to be seen. Now full panic mode was pushed into border line panic attack mode. . . So about 30  okay 8 minutes later here came Carter d...
