Happy Birthday Owen!
Look at me... Back to back blogs! It might become an everyday thing again... MIGHT being the key word. Well after hours upon hours of labor I'm so happy for my cousin Mallory and her boyfriend Jason they welcomed Owen David into the world Friday morning. She had a c section Friday morning. I took off the afternoon loaded up the car and headed with he fam to memorial hospital in Belleville. Ahhh he is beautiful- I have never seen a baby with longer fingers and toes HOLY NBA possibilities!!
Owen was born at 9:13am Friday 12/16/2011
8lbs 7oz- 20inches long
It's so funny because he was a full 3 lbs bigger then jaxon and I do not remember Jason EVER being that tiny! Yeah for new baby's!!! Christmas this year will be fun but watch out next year.. My two 1year olds and Owen will have just turned 1 - OH the fun We will have!!
Exactly 1 week til Christmas! I Love this time of the year!!

Happy Anniversary, Happy 9 Months, Happy BABY Day
OMG - what a day we have in store!!
4 Years ago today I married my best friend - It was the best day of my life to that point! The backdrop was perfect
Candle Light ceremony, snow falling outside, and a room full of our closest family and friends!
Happy Anniversary Stephen -
Today also marks Jaxon & Layla's 9Month Birthday....WHAT??!! How did they get to be 9months..seems like just yesterday we were bringing them home from the hospital. They are at the age where they are so much fun to play with, interact with each other, and crack up at the most random things!
But it makes me sad to know if the first year went by this fast the next will fly as well -
This obviously is the year of Baby's First.....Easter, Summer, Halloween, Thanksgiving and now Christmas ..so thesecrazy parents actually just ME thought it would be a
great idea to get Jaxon and Layla's picture with Santa...at the mall....13 days before Christmas....what the heck was I thinking...Holy Line -
But I had happy campers in line...it was when we actually met the big fella that Layla had issues -
Tuesday night after bedtime bottle Layla wanted to show Daddy some love.....or at least share with him her ENTIRE BOTTLE! hahahahaha
O it gets better.........even got a little puke in his wallet ahhhhhh
As far as everything else today we are anxiously awaiting the text that says Mallory is officially in full blown labor - They checked into the hospital last night at 12:01am - and are starting the induction process any time now!
Im sooo excited to meet baby Owen - Lets hope for a speedy labor and a happy healthy baby owen and momma!
Should have pictures tomorrow!

BIG issues.....like "I HATE THIS MAN IN A BRIGHT RED SUIT AND WHITE BEARD!! PLEASE REMOVE YOUR HAND FROM HOLDING ME!"
Thank you, Love Layla
By the look on her face this was Mid-Meltdown..if the pictures didn't cost $21.00 each I would have bought the full meltdown one...Im talking arms flailing, paci flying out of her mouth and tears....BIG TEARS!
So I settled for this one!
Merry Christmas everyone! lol
Well just a little update on the new happenings with Jax & Layla....
Jaxon is jumping head first in this whole teething thing - FUSSY, SNOTTY, SLOBBERY, and did I mention last night he we were up about every 30 mins ahhhh
I love ya kid but man o man that makes for one tired momma in the morning! This is what I get from them for the first hour or so of bedtime...Peace, Quite and a little sibling cuddle time ;)

Hello all-
Well its been awhile...or as Kelly told me last night "I've really dropped the ball on blogging these days." Which is true - and I could give you every excuse under the sun as to why but it is simple...By the end of the day - Im tired, I've most likely fought with two "sleepy, but fighting it til the end , 9 Month olds" attempting to get them to bed - Wait WHAT??? Did I just say 9Months Old....Holy heck where did that time go?? It seems like just yesterday I was Shopping for maternity clothes. PTL I dont have to do that anymore - I thought there for a bit I wanted to change careers and design maternity clothes that were cute...and didn't cost an arm and a leg.
Well back to Jaxon & Layla -
they are growing like weeds, crawling like crazy, pulling up on EVERYTHING, and fight sleep and naps tooth and nail...Speaking of teeth we have zero! Im starting to look into baby dentures. It seems as though Jax has been "teething" since about 3 months but come on already tooth pop thru or stay up there, your causing my boy pain! Im starting to think we need stock in Baby Orajel.
Aww look at those two - It is impossible to have a bad day when you see those dimples staring back at you!
We have now gotten to the stage where if one has a toy the other wants it...not to play with just to have the satisfaction of taking it away! Aghh I have a long 18 years to go!!
Jaxon will crawl up to Layla attempt to take the toy, when she doesn't give in he knows how to manhandle the situation ...he proceeds to pull her hair - when she drops the toy to get her hair back from his grips he takes the toy and crawls off...Boys!
Since I've been AWOL for a bit lets recap the last MONTH -
Thanksgiving was wonderful - It is always great to get to spend time with family. We did have a big hole this year as Kelly & Ben chose NYC over Sparta, IL...who would ever do that??!! I mean NYC has the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade...Sparta has the lights parade...(of which took place during the rain??) I wasn't the sharpest in science but seriously an electrical parade in the RAIN?? O well we watched it from my Living Room, Jaxon & Layla LOVED all the flashing lights and even caught a glimpse of a soggy Santa Clause!
As far as Christmas goes - we are ready for the most part...Christmas Tree up - Ornaments only on the top 3/4 of the tree and I've only had to re-wrap 2 presents so far! I treat that as a success!!
We are anxiously awaiting the text, or frantic phone call, telling us that Mallory is in LABOR!! I can not WAIT to meet Baby Owen - I have been looking back at J&L's newborn pictures and I can not remember how teeny, tiny they were! I'm ready to HOLD a new baby again - ....did you catch that HOLD & GIVE BACK...not have to keep....at least for now...Not too sure about down the road?
Well Stephen and the rest of the Police Force in Sparta are coming up on YEAR #2 working without a settled contract - Yes you read that 2 YEARS without a contract -
The powers that be has decided instead of hiring someone (of which they are 3 men down) they have completely switch the schedule around from 12 hr. shifts to 8 hour shifts...I know it doesn't sound like a bad plan but on the 12's Stephen had every.other.weekend off - now on the 8's he gets a FRIDAY, SATURDAY off every.THREE.months aghhhhh it is horrible, I feel helpless because there is nothing anyone can do - Sure they are rotating now so he is not stuck on midnights but come on...
3 months on days,
3 months on 2nds and
3 months on midnights
these set days off are going to be the end of me...I mean seriously who can plan to go out for a nice dinner in St. Louis when you know you have to be back for him to work at 1130??!! Not this girl...and right now his days off are Sunday and Monday - so frustrating!
O well my rant is over!
Its the WEEKEND! Well in a few hours! I love having weekends with zero plans! I think a day sitting in my PJ playing with the babies sounds perfect!
Take care all enjoy the weekend and lets hope for snow! Yep I said it SNOW! LOTS OF IT!
I have waited all year to spend a SNOW DAY at home with J&L
Heres a few pix from the past few weeks!
