THE BLOG.
Where do I begin? Today is June the 3rd 2008. Nearly one year ago my little Mini Men were born. That's a hard pill to swallow. It hurts to know that already a year has gone by but it also makes me so proud to see them growing up and learning new things each and every day. They really are miracles and I have yet to take a single day for granted.
I think we will just start with our updates. I've always been told that I never give my own updates or updates about Jason, that it's always about the kids so I'll make sure to always start out with myself or Jason and then talk about the kiddos. We'll save the best for last. ;o)
I am fabulous! I've been giving myself a break from the March of Dimes to spend some time with the monsters before they are officially one year old. I've been soaking in the love. I recently took a cake decorating class which was so much fun! There are 4 courses and I took the very first one because believe me, I needed to start with the basics. I enjoyed the class so much that I'll be starting the second course tomorrow night!
Speaking of ambitious! Jason. Haha. What a man, husband and father! We just love him to death and wouldn't trade him for all the alone time in the world! I don't know how he's ever going to top this last Mother's Day. I got a pool for the backyard which has been AMAZING! It's a big ole 16 foot by 4 foot above ground pool that we've been using like CRAZY and the two most fitting and cute cards. Oh! AND a nap! He is the BEST! He's also been doing wonders at work! He's being recognized all the time for going above and beyond what is asked of him. He's in charge of projects far more advanced than what he's getting paid for (it's the government, what else is new?), ect. but the best thing is....he's finally getting recognized for it! I'm so proud of him. We will be going to Houston (YAY Miranda!!!!!) in late July for some more work training.
Jackson. Wow has he changed.
No more helmet.
Seven teeth (ouch!)
He is so full of energy and spunk. He's becoming more and more demanding and harder and harder to please. He's still pretty laid back and easy going but he's a lot more vocal these days. He is not at all interested in being fed like a baby. If you won't let him feed himself then he'd rather not eat, thank-you-very-much. Oh, and please don't think you can trick him by feeding him something similar off the same plate...oh no no no. He's no fool. He wants EXACTLY what you are eating. NOW please.
He is all over the place, normally with Aiden following right behind.
He gets himself in these crazy situations where I just scratch my head and think, "How did he DO that?" for example...I heard muffled crying coming from the living room area and I knew it was Jackson's cry. I just thought that maybe Aiden had knocked him down but at the time, it wasn't like Jackson to sit back and let Aiden stomp on him...so I went to check it out. I couldn't see Jackson anywhere but I kept hearing this muffled cry. It took me a minute but I finally figured out that Jackson was hiding UNDER THE COUCH and was mad because he was trying to sit up. Haha!!
On to Mr. Aiden, or I'll NEVER finish.
Ohhhhh Mr. Drama!! Ok, so they are BOTH Mama's Boy's (and don't let Jason tell you otherwise) but Aiden is especially so. He's feels as if his HOME is planted right on my hip. And jealousy!! Already! They are possessive little guys. Aiden used to be my little guy that would get trampled on and pushed down but not anymore. Oh man, have the tables turned. For what Aiden lacks in size, he more than makes up for in attitude. He pushes Jackson down, pulls his hair, ect. All the same things that were done to him not too long ago. What goes around, comes around I suppose.
Aiden will let you feed him some things but for the most part, he's all about being a Big Boy.
We are completely off formula and completely off his acid reflux meds! YAY Aiden! AND Mr. Underdog Aiden was the ONLY ONE in our family to miss this last bug that got us sick. It started with Jackson, then I got it, then Jason but Aiden has remained unaffected and unamused with the rest of us. He wants to know why all we want to do is lay around crying.
Aiden is also going to be the heart breaker. No doubt. Aiden loves himself some females. Females of all shapes and sizes. All different colors and ages. He doesn't discriminate.
BREAKING news!! Literally.
Aiden now has SIX teeth!!! and he can wave!
Plus, our bets are that he is going to be the first to take his steps. It will be any day now, we can feel it.
And I had to save THEBEST news for last. We had Jackson's cardiology appointment on Monday and Dr. J told us that even though it rarely ever happens, it looks as if Jackson's heart condition has actually started to improve somewhat. He said that normally this would be the time we would have to start thinking about surgery but at this point, he (Dr. J) says that Jackson may never need the surgery! This is far better than any news we were expecting!! So a big thank you to everyone out there who's been following Jackson's story and praying for him. We appreciate it.
Now, before I get distracted and forget, I'm going to publish this.

Here is a picture of my most recent cake. It was my first attempt at a casual wedding cake. I was just playing around with the colors. Over the next few days I'll be working on two cakes for the boys' photo shoot that Jason and I are going to be ambitious enough to attempt at home. LOL!
