We have been going full force since last week! Lots to catch up on!

Friday night we took the boys to Santaland. Rylann loved it!! For yall not from around here, Santaland is in this big park and they decorate it all up in cartoon characters, like most of the disney characters, cars, handy manny, winnie the pooh, etc. Lots of colors, lots of lights, lots of fun, especially for a 2 year old. He was all over the place, everything was HOTT... hot is his favorite word. Everything is hot, the stove, dishwasher, any kind of lights, the food that is at most, lukewarm that he doesnt want to eat. But anyways, we stood in line to meet Santa for a good 20 minutes, me and Laramie took turns chasing Rylann around. But it just got too cold for us to wait, and the line didnt move one inch!!! So Saturday we FINALLY went and met Santa. The boys did SOO good!!! Rylann surprisingly did wonderful, and was very excited about him!! We have been talking him up for about a month now!

My wonderful, hard working husband won cowboy football tickets at work! So Sunday we woke up (almost 2 hours late, thanks Pierce for choosing that morning to sleep through the night!) dropped the kids off at Laramies moms, and speed to Dallas!! We met my parents for lunch and did some shopping before we headed to the game! It was awesome. That stadium is amazing. I had so much fun!!! It was a very short trip, we had to come Monday. But it was a very very fun day away. Way to go hubby for working so hard!! Thank you.

I missed my babies soo much. It was really hard leaving them. Being a mom is seriously the best thing that has ever happened to me. You really dont know what love really is until you have a child. Its so hard to explain but makes so much sense all at the same time.

Today was Rylanns school Christmas play. I was so excited, I just knew I had the star of the show. Well I will start off by saying, my babies are scheduled babies. If they are off their schedule by one minute, they are just off. Well they had to adjust their nap times, because of the party. No nap= a very frustrated Rylann. During the whole play Rylann managed to scream over all of the singing. All the kids were adorable though, oh well theres always next year!

I have no idea why I was so worried about Rylann not talking. Somebody turned his switch on!!! He wont shush up now!!! He is so funny! Half the time he calls me Sarah. When he does call me mommmy, its usually because hes in trouble and usually that gets him out. (I know, not very good displining, but you have got to hear him say it! its so cute!) Well this afternoon we were coloring, a firetruck goes by our street, and Rylann goes "I love you fire truck" then turns to his brother and says "I love you Piece" (we dont say r's very well). My heart melted!! Not only did we remember what a fire truck was, we love our brother!!!! That will make a mommys day right there!

Ill end on some pics!

This week has been wonderful!!! We had a very rough monday, but its been all uphill since then!!

Monday, Rylann was playing and he fell, well usually he pops right up, and starts going again. This time he just layed there. I was in the middle of feeding Pierce carrots, well I heard the fall, looked over and FREAKED out!! I jumped up, throwing the carrots all over Pierce, ran over to Rylann. He finally popped open his eyes after I (what felt like hours) yelled for couple seconds. It was the scariest thing I have ever expierenced! He was fine 5 seconds after it happened! He was either scared he was going to get in trouble, or was just shocked. But reguardless I was a mess(emotionally) and poor Pierce was covered in carrots!

Wednesday, we had a playdate at a friends. I am so impressed on how Rylann plays with kids. He has gotten SO much better about communicating and playing with kids his age. He makes me one proud momma! Speaking of mamma, Rylanns new thing is to continuously say mamma when he gets in trouble. Guess hes pretty smart, because usually it gets him out of trouble! :)

Rylanns first Christmas play is next week! I am beyond excited!!!! IT should be very very entertaining! I will be recording it, and definately posting everything that happens!!!

Pierce had his 4 month wellness check this week also. He is such a big healthy boy!!! He weighs 16 lbs!!! He did awesome with his shots, and he is way ahead of what 4 months are supposed to be doing!! Again, one proud momma!!

Today was my 8 year anniversary at work. I can not believe I have been there that long! I have the best job ever! I love what I do, I love most of patients!!! I am pretty proud of myself for sticking through the good and bad! NOt many 26 year olds can say they have been working at the same office for 8 years!!

We are going to get Santa picture this weekend! Wish me luck!

almost monday already????

This weekend was a blast!

Friday was my work Christmas party. It was so nice to eat a delicious meal without having to entertain 2 kids! I think that was the best part! Then Saturday night we had some old friends over for dinner. We fried a turkey, and had all the sides. We had so much amazing food! We are so lucky to have such great friends that can cook!! It was so fun catching up with everyone. Rylann loved being the center of attention, and at times, he was competiting for time with daddy! Betcha cant guess who won :) Just wanted to say thank you to my amazing sister Bailey, for helping out with Pierce while I did the cooking, theres no way I could have done it without you girl!!! One of our best couple friends have a little girl a month younger then Rylann. They were at our Christmas party, they played so good together this time!! Most of the time my little guy acts like a bully or doesnt share, but they had such a great time and were adorable!! We have already arranged their marriage, lol. Rylann had such a great time I didnt want to force him to go to bed, so he stayed up until everyone left! At about 11, he was so worn out he went and got his pillow and blanket, brought it in the living room and plopped down right in the middle of the room. He wasnt going to miss a thing! He was worn out, he slept in until 11!!! Then today we stayed in most of the day. I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband and 2 fun easy going kids(most of time anyway).

We started reading the Grinch to the boys tonight. I love reading to Rylann, he loves pointing out things in the pictures. The first thing he always points out is if theres a moon, and then if theres an animal he will make the animal noise. Its pretty amusing!

I want to attempt to take Santa pictures this week! I know its going to be miserable taking them!!! So does anybody know of any free ones going on?? Or does anyone want to volunteer dressing up???

On the go!

Whew! Almost Friday!!! This week has been sooo busy, but so good too. Pierce is offically mobile. He started inch worming last weekend, but Monday night we were playing in the living room, I stepped out of the room for just 10 seconds and when I came back he was almost off his blanket!! I am so excited that he is entering his next stage, its personally my favorite baby stage! But at the same time I am SOOOO not ready for 2 mobile babies!!

I also got to meet up with a girl from high school. I haven't seen her in probably 10 years!!! It was so nice to have lunch and catch up with her!! It made me miss high school times. It was so much easier back then. But I had a great time, and I hope that we get to do it again soon!! I wish I lived closer to some of the girls that I went to school with, alot of them have babies around the same age as mine. But I guess until either we move or they do I will just have to stay happy with catching up through facebook!

We also had a fun couple over last night for dinner! They also have 2 under 2, so its always nice to know you arent the only one going crazy trying to keep everything together!!

So for some crazy reason, I decided to get on the scale! I am only 4 lbs away from my goal! It was a very very pleasant surprise. My goal is to be at my ideal weight by Christmas, so I have 23 more days, hopefully it wont be too tough! I have a feeling it will be! I am still exclusively breastfeeding Pierce, so I still have to eat so he will get all the nutrition he needs, and we are always so busy that I feel like I never have time to go to the gym, maybe it will get easier after the holidays. Any motivation or help is welcomed!

Ill finish with 2 pictures of the cutest 2 kids in the whole world!
