MOVIE CLIPS

Okay so I was going through my videos on my camcorder and putting them onto DVD when I found these two clips from a couple months ago that I had to share. Sorry their kind of long, but I didnt want to cut them for my DVD and I didnt know how to cut them just for this post. :)
The first clip is S in dancing action...you also see how picky he is about which song he will and will not dance to.



The next clip is the infamous David Archuletta song "Crush that S has been OBSESSED with for almost a year now. He sings along, dances, watches the music video over and over and over again. Sorry, he has a hard time staying in front of the camera, but the only way he would sing to it on camera was if we hooked it up to the TV so he could see himself.

J IS 6 MONTHS OLD!

Time is FLLLYYYYIN'. J is already 6 months old and a heart breaker. And (knock on wood) she's all healthy.

In other news I just have to tell this one funny story about S. This morning (like all mornings) he climbs in my bed and plays drums on my face begging me for a banana and breakfast. So I kept saying "okay, I'm coming," only to roll over and pray he would get distracted with something (even if it was my nostrils or eyelids) just so I could get a second more of sleep. But then he said clear as day, "Mom, you can DO it....try again!" HA! I laughed myself out of bed and and got him his banana. Looks like my attempts at teaching him dedication and perserverance comes back and bites me in the kisser!

I love this

I know I sent this to some of you through email, but I just thought it was so perfect

"Mom" help needed

Alright so like many of you, my kids are or have been sickly! ugh! Seth had strep and so Disney on Ice got replaced with a hacking cough and "Pajama days" on the couch. Anyways after a few days of anti biotics he was good as gold. But then Jaquelle started getting sick. She didnt get strep but she had quite the cough and a really stuffed up nose. Well the first night she slept a long time 12-13 hours without eating. Then the next day because she was so stuffed up she didnt eat much. I took her to the doctor and they found that she also had an ear infection which is the reason I believe she didnt eat well for the next two days. After another long night and day of not eating well I think my milk is gone! I called the lactation consultant and she told me to pump every couple of hours and so I have been doing that, even in the night when Jaq's asleep. But seriously, I got nothin! Okay so normally that wouldnt be a problem, its been 6 months and I really would be fine if I was done nursing except she WILL NOT TAKE A BOTTLE FOR THE LIFE OF HER! What do I do? Now that she's got her appetite back I think she is starving and Im afraid she's going to get dehydrated. So in other words she's not getting anything from me and a bottle is not happening...please any suggestions? I know I probably should have started with a bottle months ago, but I really saw no need and Seth transferred to a bottle with no problem. Are there any tricks or wives tales out there for me to try?

2 NEW BEDS

Okay so S's bed for the past couple of weeks has been a twin mattress on the floor cause we needed the crib mattress (that was in his toddler bed) for J when we moved her into her own room. Well so I've been wanting a twin bed for S but they all have been too expensive. So C finally told me if I listened to Tradio for one week (its like a craiglist over the radio) and listened for a used one someone was just trying to get rid of for cheap and I still couldnt find one I could go buy one. So I listened and the first day within the first 15 minutes someone had one! Well its not bran new but its way durable and S couldnt care less and I think we paid like 20 bucks for it. So it wasnt my first pick but hey atleast he finally has a bed and his mattress is off the ground.
Now onto our bed...Back when we moved into our second apartment we went up north shopping for some badly needed dressers. Well we found some that we loved that were on clearance because someone had bought the other peices and bed probably that matched it. Anyways so we got a good deal on them but thought it was going to be impossible to ever find a bed that matches it. But then this last week we got some ad for Boulevard Home Furnishing and there it was a queen bed (thats the size matress we have) that matched almost perfectly to our dressers! So C did something very unprecedented and we just called them up and bought it on impulse. Those kind of purchases can be very scary especially since we hadnt ever really seen the bed except for in an AD. But once we got it we loved it and it made it all the more worth it that it was on sale! Anyways I dont know why Im taking so long to post the fact that we got new beds! But its fun.

A FORT night :)

S and I have been having so much fun latetly. C has been so busy lately that we've had lots of time together, but its been cool. The other day we made this awesome fort, unfortunately it was much more fun for him to jump on top of it and crash it down then it was to just sit under it, so the fort didnt last long, or rather mom got sick of "fixing" it.
Then on Friday S and I went out on a date. I really wanted to get out of the house and C was working late so S and I went out to dinner at the Pizza Factory. It was actually really fun and he was great. We just talked and he scarffed down olives. I love that I can actually have conversations with him now. Its hillarious. Although him learning new words sometimes gets confusing. Let me give you an example. Sometimes when he like accidentally does something wrong like tripping and falling on his sister, I say something like "S you need to be more careful, but I know it was an accident." Well somehow he caught on that if its an "accident" he doesnt get in trouble. So lately when ever he's doing something he knows he shouldnt be doing or I tell him no, he says "mom, its an accident." Sometimes it totally doesnt make sense though and it makes me laugh. Like once I told him S dont play on the computer... and he just looked at me and said, "no mom, its a accident."
Unfortunately though right now he's sick. Last night S woke up croupy. I hate the croup. It sounds aweful and they get so scared cause its hard to cough. I am just hoping he feels better by the end of the week cause I won Disney on Ice tickets off of some news show! Whahoo. I am so pumped cause The Lion King and Peter Pan will be there and he LOVES both those shows.
Alright better go S just dumped a cup full of water on my back. Nice.
