I'm Still Alive!

Wow. It has been a long time!
So much has been going on since my last entry. Kieran turned four Aug 8th, Chloe turned one Oct, 11th and Nevin just turned 13 on Dec, 4th! I have a 13 year old, People!! CRAZY!

Lately I have been going through some very emotionally taxing times. So please send happy energy my way. Hopefully I'll look back at this time and think...man, that was rough, but we made it through and look at us now! :)

Today we went to my friends. We've been doing this every Monday(or try to at least). It's so nice. Her oldest is Nevin's age her 2 middles are Kieran's age and she also has a baby. The boys play, practice guitar and we all have dinner together. LOTS of boy energy but, fun! I'm really enjoying it.

We got our tree tonight(man it's cold out there!) and I'm SUPER excited to decorate it tomorrow!! Yippee!!! I'm like a kid at Christmas. I just love it. I really need to get a move on my shopping and get better at being sneaky with packages being delivered. Kieran insists on opening boxes and we can't have that!

We'll be visiting Santa sooon! I'm not even going to attempt getting a picture with Chloe on his lap. I know she'll want nothing of it. She gets upset with just normal people tak to her...let alone sitting on a creepy looking mans lap ...hehe! Kieran loves Santa, though. I'm excited for him!

Before I go, here are some recent photo's!

So I Did Forget A Few Things - And Beach Pics

Chloe leans in to give kisses now...so sweet! Oh man. I forgot the other thing! Jeez, talk about Mommy brain! Haha!

Some pictures I wanted to share from our beach outing the weekend before last. Of course they are mostly of Chloe since my two boys are completely against having their pictures taken these days :( .

Whoa Buddy

I cannot wait until our vegan Thanksgiving!! Yum yum yum. Putting together the recipe list made my mouth water.

On another note. My brother is in town from CT! Hoping to see him soon!

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!!

Mommy and Me Swim and Other Things

Kieran and I had our first Mommy and Me swim class last night. It was fun, but he wasn't too cooperative. He loves bath time and shallow water but being in deep water seems to freak him out and he clings to me. Hopefully he'll loosen up a bit as he gets use to it! I think it's actually called Parent and Tot swim class or something so Josh can join in sometime if he wants! :)

We have tickets to see the Doodlebops on the 23rd and we are so excited! Kieran loves them as does our whole family! And for those of you that may think it's unfair to Nevin that we went to Sesame Street Live and now The Doodlebops...well, I wanted to take him to see High School Musical On Ice but he doesn't want to! I did however just take him to the movies to see Penelope over the weekend. It was a cute movie with a good lesson...love yourself for who you are. We both enjoyed it and it was nice spending some one on one time together. I figure while we are in Ohio we'll visit the science ceneter there...he'll like that.
Wow, it sure seems like our family is doing a lot. We normally don't do any of these things..but it sure is fun!!!

Well, looks as if we'll be having a snow storm tonight! Hope the roads don't get too bad for Josh's drive home...plus Nevin has swim class tonight.

Well Hello!

Well, I'm back. I had a blog here years ago and forgot all about it. But, here I am once again!

You may see many typo's along the way...thats because I'm often breastfeeding my baby and typing one handed...often with my left hand (like right now lol).

Let me tell you a little about myself.
I'm a SAHM, homeschooling Mom to 9 year old Nevin and 6 mos old Kieran (both boys). I'm 29 years old (as of Jan 11th) married to my best friend, Josh (30) and love to scrapbook! My 2nd home is at Scrap Garden...hanging out with my garden girls! I'm vegan and live (to my best ability) a cruelty free life. I'm an Attachment parent and try to live a healthy, natural lifestyle.

Well, thats me in short! :)
