Bed Wetting at 330am!

So my 3 year old has been going through some bed wetting issues lately...
In the last 2 weeks he has probably wet the bed 4 times! I should be putting a pull up on him, but he is not a fan!
The other morning I got my wake up call at approximately 335am. Poor little guy came running in our room all wet and flustered :( Usually I nudge Micah (cause that guy could sleep through anything), but it was my turn... So I quickly ripped off his pjs from his cold, wet body and ran the tub with some warm soapy water. Plunked him in and away I went to clean up his bed and toss his sheets down the stairs (of course to be washed in the morning). I felt like I was trying to race the clock. The quicker I did this, the sooner I would be resting back on my pillow for a couple more hours... sleeeeeep :) Something I am sure we could all use more of!?? Anyways, as I am running around my house trying not to be loud and realizing I still had hardly said a word to my poor little one, he looked up at me with some tears in his BIG brown eyes and said.... "Mommy, I love you SO much"
It then hit me, in all this craziness of rushing and being bothered, my son was teaching me a lesson. He was showing me gratitude and unconditional love, just like our father gives to us each and every day. Although I preferred to be in zzz land, tears poured down my cheeks as I sat on the toilet by my sweet little boy. Savour EVERY moment even if it is a 4am wake up call!

To lie or to fib? That is the question!

So today my very smart 5 year old Rocco, was trying to find my ipod to listen to. I use it for the gym or when I go for a run, so I do have to admit that there may be some inappropriate songs for a 5 year old or maybe even a 30 year old!! He particularly likes one song by pink, so I occasionally let him listen to it! So today he tells me he needs my ipod headphones to listen to his tag reader (leap frog) so it won't be SO loud.... RIGHT!! I tell him where the ipod is hiding so he could get the headphones... Turns out he wants the ipod! Anyways I asked him why he lied to me about needing the headphones for the tag reader...., "mommy, I wasn't lying, I was fibbing!" "please don't say I was lying, that is SO bad!". Is there really a difference between a lie and a fib? I guess it just sounds better!

CRaZY Week! Part 1

Do do you ever have crazy days my fellow bloggers??
Well this week has had more than 1 CrAzY day in it for me...
It was Micah's first week back to work in 13 weeks, which isn't that big of a deal. Although I truly missed his HELP (SOS) this week, it was nice to get back in to some sort of routine. He spoiled me rotten and many days I did not get dressed, let alone leave the house! It was an amazing and wonderful time, but now it was back to reality. My reality hit me Tuesday morning at approximately 613am when my 5 year old came running into our room explaining that our 3 year old had PEED the bed. Normally I would roll over and let daddy-doo handle that stuff, but I suddenly realized he was MISSING.... My hand slammed against his empty pillow. I thought where on earth is he at 614 AM??? Had he slept walked out of our room or had he fallen asleep on the couch after watching a late night DVR of UFC???!! Where was he??? Then it hit me.... it was his first "WORK" day and he was in the shower, getting all clean...
I guess I had to go tend to my little wet willy... Poor baba, was all wet, cold, and shivering. Bed wetting does not happen a lot around here, but man do I feel bad for him. Could you imagine waking up wet??? Yikes! So I cleaned him up, threw him in the bath tub, and did 2 loads of laundry all before..... 630 am??!! The last 13 weeks I never lifted my delicate little head out of bed before 8 am, "spoiled" I know!! But my man pulled through for me, like he always does... nice cup of my favorite java and a wonderful RUNNY egg waiting for me as I pushed my sorry butt up my stairs from the laundry room.
My littlest of babies LOVES to sleep and usually does not open an EYE until around 9:00am, JEALOUS... , which can pose a problem for a nursing mom, you got it... engorement. So away I went to "PUMP" This works out well because I am able to save all my extra milk and freeze it or Micah can use it if I sneak out in the evenings for some ALONE mommy time!!
Time to start feeding the troops, because those boys are STARVING in the morning. It is really the only time of the day they will eat WHATEVER I give them. I like to pack their breakfest full of protien and fruits. In between hearing "I REALLY miss daddy", "when will daddy be home" and "I want daddy" I managed to make another breakfest for my little buddy that comes at 800am. My sweet, adorable, hungry nephew, Cash. I watch him 2-3 days a week.
Fed, washed, cleaned the kitchen, finished up decorating 2 cakes and a couple dozen cupcakes, I packed up the troops and headed out. It was FAR too nice of a day to waste time inside, plus I had a delivery to make for 10am......

Happy Little Girl!

Penelope is the apple of our family's lives! She is sweet and quiet. She smiles all the time and we rarely hear a peep out of her. We are enjoying all the stages with her, as we know time goes by TOO quickly!

Mohawks and baby smiles :)

How can life get ANY better??? My sweet babies in ALL their glory!

A few of my favorite things!

Penelope is an AWESOME baby! She is currently sleeping 7-8 hours a night (she is 6 weeks old) and has been since she was 16 days old! She is pleasant and calm and REALLY enjoys being held! None of us mind!
After 2 boys we were delighted to welcome a girl into our family. There are SO many NEW baby products on the market since I first had Rocco almost 5 years ago! (can NOT believe it has been 5 years!) Here are a couple I can NOT live without!


My very sweet friend sarah makes these nursing covers! They are AMAZING! They give you so much privacy when you are nursing on the go. The material is beautiful and breathable. Could not be without my peekaboob!

This is the BEST thing ever and I wish I had it with my other kids! It is the double medela breast pump. LOVE IT! It has helped SO much. I am able to produce more milk and store it or freeze it! I am able to go out with more freedom (babyless that is). I nurse her also. She has absolutely no problem going back and forth from bottle to breast. They can be pricey, but I was able to buy mine second hand at a GREAT price!

My brestfriend. It is a breastfeeding pillow which supports your back and encourages good posture while bf! LOVE IT! You can even walk around with it on while feeding your bambino! It also doubles good as a lap top holder! I first saw this product on the show 18 and counting on TLC. Mama Dugger wears it EVERYWHERE! If it works for her, I am sure it will work for you!

I'm Back!

I decided to start blogging again, hopefully I will keep up with it! I am sure no one reads this blog anymore and has given up on me, but I will TRY once again to be faithful!
Here is a pic of our baby girl! She is truly a blessing to our family. We are so thankful for her and praise the Lord everyday for HIS faithfulness to us!
