Things are good this direction. Chad took the MCAT today. It's supposed to storm this weekend. Hopefully it won't be anything too bad. Looking forward to our vacation at the end of June. It will be the first one that Chad and I have taken since before I was pregnant with Drew. Life is good.</div>

I also bought her a set of markers. She's had so much fun doing the activities in the book and it just reminds me how smart that girl is.<br />

Very seldom do I get a chance to sleep in and usually as soon as Ally gets up she heads straight into my room to let me know that, "it's morning!!!" (Mind you this is around 6:30-ish.) So yesterday I was excited when both the kids got up and instead went into the living room to play and watch cartoons... or so I thought.<br />

I asked Ally if she colored on her brother or if he did that himself and first she said he did it himself but later admitted to coloring on him. Super.</div>

I love scrapbooking and the idea of memory keeping, but let's face it, I'm not the greatest at making tons of layouts and I definitely don't journal enough. Project Life is finally something that I am enthusiastic enough about to keep up with (as best as I can anyway). I am a few weeks behind, but no big deal. I will catch up later. I just wanted to post one of my more recent weeks that I completed. This week is pretty simple and doesn't include every day, mostly us at the splash pad. The photo quality isn't the best, I've yet to perfect photographing layouts. You can click on a picture to view it larger.<br />

So it's been a bit since I've blogged... (understatement of the year). I figure I'll give a quick update on our lives at the moment.<br />

Ally is turning 4 in November. 4! That is such a big number. She's not in school... although every other child around her seems to me. She's so smart and loves to learn, I feel like I'm doing her a disservice by not enrolling her anywhere, but the thing is... we can't afford any kind of crazy "tuition," and her birthday prevents her from being eligible for pre-K this year. I don't know. I feel lost when it comes to all these first-child decisions. The poor thing hasn't even been involved in any kind of organized activities. I know there's plenty of time for all of that in the future, but I feel like if we just keep saying, "Oh, well, we want to put her in <i>something...</i> eventually," it's never going to happen! Anyway, Ally has one of the biggest personalities I've ever seen. I don't spend enough one-on-one time with her, but when I do she is so entertaining. The conversations I have with her crack me up. Love that girl.<br />

Drew is almost 19 months. Ally was 18 months when he was conceived. He is my spoiled child (because he is the baby, of course!). He is getting to that ornery stage though. We've been getting onto him a lot more lately. He likes to test us, as all children do. Unfortunately he's also as that stage where separation anxiety has become an issue. In fact, I haven't been to the gym in ages because he has a breakdown every time I drop him off. (Not that I'm using him as an excuse to not work out or anything.......). He also sleeps with me. Every night. I can't remember the last time he spent an entire night in his crib. I don't mind it so much, but Chad is over it. He spends most of his nights on the couch in the living room when he's home. But besides the separation anxiety and the sleeping issues, he is such a sweetie. He gives me hugs and kisses without being asked, he loves to dance, he's learning new words every day, he has a great arm, and he's awesome at cuddling. Plus he's a mama's boy. :)<br />

Chad is busy busy. He's in school Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, as well as working the fire department and the clinic. He also has call back that he works (48 hours straight) and he teaches the occasional CPR class. I hardly see that boy anymore. And when I do, it's a lot of sitting around thinking about how to spend our time, and honestly, he's so used to being busy that it drives him nuts just sitting around. Which of course I take personally. I just keep telling myself that life is not going to be like this forever. I will not be stuck with 2 kids under 4, all alone, with nothing to do and nowhere to go for the rest of my life. I try to cherish this time as much as possible but there are days that I just want to rip my hair out. I am not a great stay-at-home mom. I wish they had classes on how to do all that comes with being a wife and a mom. I've come a ways domestically since Chad and I first moved in together, but I still have a lot to learn. I spend so much of my time browsing blogs of women that seem to know everything about motherhood and domesticity. I've read articles on how these women make the rest of us feel inadequate and you should know that you are good enough just the way you are, blah blah blah. Okay. Well I don't, thanks for that.<br />
<br />
I should also mention that Chad is taking all these classes because he will be going to med school. One day, I will be married to a doctor and live the good life. That is one thing that keeps me going ;)<br />

As for me and what I've been up to. Hmm... a lot of reality TV and reading. I'm currently reading The Light Between Oceans, and I'm addicted to all the Real Housewives series, especially New York. A lot of wishing for rain and cooler weather, rearranging and attempted organization, playing Scrabble on my Android, and tickle fights with my tots. Regardless of how uneventful things seem around here and how I don't feel like I could ever achieve mother-of-the-year status, one thing holds true. I love my babies and the man I married more than anything in this world. And as always I tell myself, things could be so much worse. I have a great home, great family, we've got our health and our happiness 90% of the time. One day, my kids will be all grown up and my husband will be at work while I'm getting botox, and I'll think about how much I miss these days. You just won't be able to tell that I'm nostalgic because of the injections.<br />

It may be because he is teething. He hardly naps unless he's being held and is waking up 2-3 times a night. We've started giving him 2% milk and started feeding him things other than mashed, baby food. Chad took him in earlier this week and got him some medicine for his congestion. </span></div>Stacyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12198282443080558104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843367093109305471.post-63130950849167252502011-10-28T08:56:00.000-05:002011-10-28T10:46:26.746-05:00Free Fun<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTnVSAS8FlBoNZgyruQtLMagYBaR6Z7OZG7S6jS07f1OXKs6pDPUw-X6Au-8KB5wB1eTawcK2vE3PkNVKP3dKNep3PrUZDD4DwUmdqv7wZJ0EeaXU9TRvXNU9HSHHFP2u1zaPxm0l4JLsO/s1600/library2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTnVSAS8FlBoNZgyruQtLMagYBaR6Z7OZG7S6jS07f1OXKs6pDPUw-X6Au-8KB5wB1eTawcK2vE3PkNVKP3dKNep3PrUZDD4DwUmdqv7wZJ0EeaXU9TRvXNU9HSHHFP2u1zaPxm0l4JLsO/s640/library2.jpg" width="379" /></a></div><br />
Earlier this week, I took the kids to the library for the first time. I've been meaning to get a library card for awhile now, seeing as how I have been reading like crazy lately and in turn, spending lots of $$$ on books. Once we got inside I kicked myself for not taking Ally sooner! She loved it and had a great time picking out books to take home. She got her very own library card and signed it herself. (I happen to love her signature.)<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">"You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy." -Eric Hoffer</div><br />
More. We always want more. More possessions, more money, more popularity -- whatever it is we think we don't have enough of. If we just had more, we'd be happy.<br />
We should know better. If what we have of something right now isn't giving us any happiness, why should more of it give us happiness? More of nothing is still nothing.<br />
<br />
<strong>Today I will find satisfaction in things I already have. Before I look for more of something. I'll make sure that it is something I know brings me happiness.</strong><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">1) Warm Drinks – drinking coffee throughout the day (love me some Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Peppermint Mochas), having some hot chocolate if the mood strikes, and just recently I discovered how amazingly delicious Spiced Apple Cider is.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="320" src="http://lovehighstreetfashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/purple-winter-scarf-lhsf-753x1024.jpg" width="235" /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">2) Fall Fashion – In the past I have sported hoodies 97% of the time once the weather started cooling off; however, now that I am getting older and finally figuring out my style and also the fact like I want to dress like an adult, I’d prefer to put them behind me. I’ve fallen in love with skinny jeans, and boots, and I actually bought a couple dresses the other day (crazy, I know!). Now I need to buy some tights to wear underneath them. I also discovered a love for knit hats and scarves, not to mention, I absolutely love fall colors.</span><br />

Chad was on shift so I loaded up the kids and headed to my parents' house. Shortly before leaving I made a card for my dad. Ever since I can remember, when I draw pictures of him, he always has a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Classy, I know, but that's my dad! So I thought I would carry on that tradition into his 54th year of life.<br />

Funnier if you know him or have seen pictures of him in the past because he seriously dressed like that, and when he was a teenager he broke his femur playing baseball. Overall, we had a great time. A couple of his friends dropped by, Ally got to help Grandma and Papa feed the fish, and we ate brats and hot dogs and birthday cake. The only thing that would have made it better was if Chad would have been there.Stacyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12198282443080558104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843367093109305471.post-83449793764346238092011-09-24T20:18:00.000-05:002011-09-24T20:18:19.861-05:00I'm Still Alive!!I am slowly but surely trying to get back into the rhythm of blogging. I have a lot of posts in mind, it's just trying to find the time and desire to write them. I think one of the biggest things holding me back from updating regularly is the fact that I get a little OCD at times, and the perfectionist in me makes blogging take FOR..EV..ERRR. I spend so much time editing photos, working on a layout, reading and rereading every entry that I wear myself out. Not only that, but I go through phases where I am really into reading others' blogs and I have recently gotten back into scrapbooking. This has in turn motivated me to start writing again. <br />

I recently read Ali Edwards' book, <u>Life Artist: Scrapbooking Life's Journey</u>, from front to back and continue to look back at it regularly to remind myself of her incredible tips and techniques when it comes to memory keeping. So because I have gotten back into one of my favorite hobbies, I'd like to start posting my pages (the most recent ones of course, some of my older ones are pretty sad). I also need to give an update on how the kids are doing as well as the most recent before/after photos of the house. Hopefully this will all be posted sooner rather than later. I don't have enough hours in my day, coffee in my cabinet, nor do I have a babysitter to accomplish all the things I would like to before bedtime. Ahh, life. Wouldn't change mine for the world.Stacyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12198282443080558104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843367093109305471.post-9250123911480453892011-06-06T08:37:00.001-05:002011-06-06T08:37:45.490-05:00While Watching Sesame Street...I made cookies the other night and told Ally she could have two and then she was done. About an hour or so later, right before bedtime, she disappeared to the bathroom and came walking back out in the living room with her little red step stool. I didn't think anything of it until I noticed her carrying it out of the kitchen. I asked her, "What are you doing, were you getting a cookie off the counter??" With her mouth full she said, "Nooo..."<br />
<br />
Last night during her bath I was washing her hair and she started singing, "Walking on 'shunshine', Oooo, Walking on 'shunshine'!"<br />
<br />
We brought Daddy some leftovers to the station and afterward made a quick stop at the Dollar Store to get something to do inside. The weather is already ridiculous and it's only June. So we got some watercolor paints, flashcards, a new coloring book, some drawing paper, and a plastic watering can so she can water the plants with me. As usual, she was running up and down the isles, grabbing everything in site while saying, "Oh Mom, look at this!" as well as having conversations with every person we came across. I'm always exhausted when leaving a store with Ally.Stacyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12198282443080558104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843367093109305471.post-6421787523247539532011-06-06T08:36:00.000-05:002011-06-06T08:36:14.279-05:00Four<div style="text-align: center;"><a _fcksavedurl="http://pics.livejournal.com/stacyedwards/pic/00006et1/" href="http://pics.livejournal.com/stacyedwards/pic/00006et1/"><img _fcksavedurl="http://pics.livejournal.com/stacyedwards/pic/00006et1/s640x480" alt="" border="0" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/stacyedwards/pic/00006et1/s640x480" style="height: 400px; width: 557px;" /></a><br />

Tonight we gave Drew his first haircut. Chad used his clippers and cut it to about an inch in length. He really only has hair in the middle of his head (he was born with somewhat of a mohawk), and he ended up with something that resembled a rat tail in the back. Handsome little devil... :) Of course I saved his hair to put in his baby book. Now that it's trimmed, he almost looks like a blonde! Just like his mama.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Drew is 7 weeks old and growing bigger every day. He finally had his one month check-up on the 15<sup>th</sup>, and he was 10 pounds, 14 ounces, and 22 inches long. He is gaining more control of his head, although it’s still pretty wobbly at times. When he’s awake, his eyes are wide open, and he is taking in everything around him. When he hears his sister, he looks for her and loves listening to her voice. He's smiling more and more, and it’s the sweetest thing. He stays up for longer periods throughout the day, often times taking several bottles before finally taking a nap. (I suppose we should work on that.) He has slept a few times here and there in his crib, but only during the day. He mainly sleeps in his bouncer at this point; the batteries in the swing have been dead for awhile (and the ones in the bouncer are about to croak as well). He has been waking up a couple times to eat throughout the night and then usually around 7 or so in the morning. Chad normally takes the first shift or two, and I have the later shifts, but he told me that he’d like it if we switched. (I don't know about that.) He no longer cries during his baths. He is still in size 1 diapers and takes 3 ounces every couple of hours. We'll try to give him 4 to spread out the gap in between feedings, but it’s rare if he takes all four, and he even so, he still prefers to eat a couple hours later. He went to his first Flirtini Friday on the 18<sup>th</sup> (it was St. Patty’s day themed, and he had the cutest green sweats on). I also took him and his sister to a friend's baby shower on the 19<sup>th</sup>. Everyone thinks he is so adorable and loves how cuddly he is. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I can't believe it has been 7 weeks already!</div>Stacyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12198282443080558104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843367093109305471.post-56357983966323899272011-03-14T17:51:00.000-05:002011-03-14T17:58:27.421-05:00Personalized Wall Art<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpfmYx5PCe9pOd4LWX9Ke8r6kOEdPljYXLxENVZAvkRI3_l4uCU3H53j5Ov0LIOvMmKqo8H5N_a-UWtByM6PrFYOvTTwTjlSs9YgUJCznZwkAFXfH8HK56xsjsB_fr8C7dY0BSv788tqWS/s1600/IMG_0629.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpfmYx5PCe9pOd4LWX9Ke8r6kOEdPljYXLxENVZAvkRI3_l4uCU3H53j5Ov0LIOvMmKqo8H5N_a-UWtByM6PrFYOvTTwTjlSs9YgUJCznZwkAFXfH8HK56xsjsB_fr8C7dY0BSv788tqWS/s400/IMG_0629.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This afternoon I finally got around to making Ally's name art for her bedroom. I've been meaning to do this for awhile. Projects like this are fun and easy, not to mention inexpensive. The overall project is so much cheaper than buying pre-decorated letters, and it's also more rewarding. Everytime I see little things like this around the house that I took the time to make I appreciate them way more than had I just bought them from a store.

Her internal alarm clock is set at 6/6:30, and <em>every single morning</em> she wakes up at this time, comes out to the living room (already whining, by the way), and asks if she can watch “cartooms.” I don’t mind her waking up early as much as I mind the whining. I <strong>cannot</strong> stand the whining…<br />

</div></div>Chad is on shift today, and tomorrow and Wednesday he’s working at the Urgent Care from 9-5. Drew’s one month check-up (that he was supposed to have last week but had to reschedule) is tomorrow (I have no idea what time), and Wednesday is my 6 week postpartum check-up. So of course I will have to rush to get myself and the kids ready and out the door on time for the next couple of days. I also need to run by my dentist office sometime this week as well as remember to go in for some lab work at my doctor’s. Oh, and I also have a baby shower to go to on Saturday. Busy, busy. I guess it’s better than sitting around all week at the house, although I do love my down time…<br />
<br />
I miss the gym. For some reason, I had it in my head that I was going to be able to go pretty regularly once Drew was born. Unfortunately, Chad has started up at his second job again and isn’t able to watch the kids at the time I would normally go. I would definitely take both Ally and Drew with me if that was an option. Our gym does have a daycare and Ally loves playing with the other kids, but of course they don’t take babies less than 6 MONTHS OLD. This means I won’t be able to go while Chad’s working until August – the middle of stinkin’ summer. Boo. Maybe I’ll take him in sooner and just say he’s 6 months… I know I wouldn’t be the first desperately out of shape mom to do this.<br />
<br />

Drew is 6 weeks old today. He has upgraded to size 1 diapers. He is sleeping better through the night; however, he still sleeps in his bouncer 99% of the time while one of us (if Chad’s home that night, otherwise it’s me) is on the couch next to him. He has started taking about 4 ounces at each feeding, although lately he’s decided he is going to sleep midway through and then wake up an hour later ready to eat again. I can’t tell you how much formula we’ve (he’s) wasted. He’s really starting to focus on the faces around him, and he definitely recognizes mine and Chad’s voices. We were able to get some video last night of him smiling. It cracks me up every time because he makes the goofiest little face, it is too cute. When we put him on his belly for tummy time, he does this little squeal that’s adorable. I just can’t get enough of him. Compared to Ally when she was a baby, he is so mellow. Somehow I doubt this will last as he gets older.<br />
<br />
I still have pregnancy brain. I am constantly misplacing things: my phone, my keys, my camera… The other day while doing laundry I washed a letter that my mother-in-law had found that I wrote to Chad when I was 13. I had it in the pocket of my jeans and completely forgot about it. The worst part is that it was black paper and written with gel ink pens. Yesterday morning while getting dressed I noticed that I had several large, black stains on the butt of my favorite jeans, and I also found a huge black stain on the front of one of my college sweatshirts. Argh… Not to mention, no matter how many times or how well I feel I’ve organized some part of the house, I can never find what I’m looking for in a timely manner. This spring, other than cleaning, I’d like to really do some serious organizing. It’s bad enough I can never find anything but the fact that I am constantly having to ask Chad where things are and him giving me “the look” just makes me that much more motivated to get things under control around here.<br />
<br />
I am waiting on this to get here:<br />

</div>I am forcing myself to wait though because I feel like I’ve been on a bit of a spending splurge lately. And there’s nothing I hate more than spending all of my husband’s hard earned money… ;)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I previously decorated this plain, supply holder I got from some scrapbook store, but I was over this paper:</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So again I used paper that coordinates with the wall art. All I did was mod podge over the old paper:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The container of flowers was actually the container for some really cute ice cream bowls my mom got us for Christmas from Pier 1. The shoeboxes hold photos and miscellaneous cards from birthdays, anniversarys, etc. The little basket with my glue gun is something I found from Goodwill for $1 or less, and I just spray painted it Antique White. </div><br />

This is just one of them. I first came across this idea at our previous home and knew it was something I could do in a very short amount of time. I bought some foam board from my local craft store, had Chad cut 6 squares, each 12 X 12, found some cute scrapbook paper, picture hangers and spray adhesive. This is what I originally came up with and had hanging at the other house:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I didn't have any place to put these particular colors in our new home and while I was cleaning the gameroom I decided to give them a makeover. Luckily for this project I had used the spray adhesive so I was able to remove the old paper easily. (Had I used something like Mod Podge I most likely would have just started from scratch.) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">All I did was find some new paper I liked and adhered it to the foam board by using the spray adhesive once again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>Very cute and very girly! And in the event that I ever get a real craft room and these colors don't coordinate, I can easily give them another makeover or hang them in Ally's room.Stacyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12198282443080558104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843367093109305471.post-54767298226406622322011-03-10T15:08:00.000-06:002011-03-10T17:23:02.895-06:00Playing Catch-UpThe next few posts are most likely going to be things I did back in January that I just haven't gotten around to putting on here. I'm afraid it's nothing too exciting but I took these pictures with the intention of blogging about them so that's what I'm doing!<br />
<br />
Our new house has an add-on from the previous owners. At the moment, it is referred to as the "gameroom", although it is actually more of an office, craft space, storage, <em>and</em> gaming room. Whatever it is, it's sole purpose shortly after we moved in was a sort of catch-all for the junk we just didn't have a place for yet. Well, if anyone is unsure about whether or not "nesting" is for real, the following pictures should be proof that it is. Two days before I went to the hospital to have Drew, I cleaned the gameroom from top to bottom. It was literally an all day project, and you better believe my whole body was sore the next day!<br />

Being more organized with my scrapping supplies always gives me the urge to actually get some layouts done, and lets be honest, when I'm productively scrapbooking things can get more than a little messy. I've also been moving things around the house (I'm still trying to figure out where I want decorations, etc., to end up) so it's also going strong as a storage space once again; however, it's nowhere near what it was in the top pictures and that's good enough for me.. for now. </div>Stacyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12198282443080558104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843367093109305471.post-40731532330442497472011-03-10T09:41:00.000-06:002011-03-10T09:43:07.164-06:00Bubbles & SlidesHere are some pictures from January of Ally and I playing in the backyard and at the park behind our house.
