1. Crud! I forgot to call the chiropractor today, how could I forget with this immense back pain I'm suffering from right now?
2. So I'm really debating on using my amazon gift cards towards a kindle. I really really want one, but I feel like right now I should be buying baby stuff not a totally awesome digital reader.
3. I did place my amazon order for the newest generation kindle today though. But I have about a week to change my mind since currently they are out of stock.
4. My leftover blackberry cobbler was absolutely heavenly today. I think cobbler is going to be my new winter treat.
5. I could really use a visit from the motivation fairy right now.
6. I've been meaning to tell everyone about how the other day I broke a nail on my right hand, on the index finger and it STILL hurts. I know, you probably don't care, and if you do... well you shouldn't. Don't be weird. Just let me tell about my broken nail in peace.
7. I'm reading this book now called Graceling and ummm...... yeah it's totally awesome. I think I'm liking it more than Twilight. No, it isn't about vampires. But it does have this girl who kicks a lot of butt, so there's lots of fighting but lots of romance. Anyhow, just check it out.
8. I miss Matt a lot. A lot more than I let on. But I know that's expected.
9. I caught Klaeyton aggravating the next door neighbor's dog today. I couldn't help but smile on the inside.
10. Tomorrow is Saturday, the start of my work week :) and def cinnamon roll morning, but even more importantly it's 9/11 and I can remember exactly what I was doing that day, I can even remember what I was wearing. It makes me sad.

Taco Skillet Pie
So I got this recipe from a cookbook by Parenting Magazine. And the format from this blog by The Pioneer Woman (http://thepioneerwoman.com/). If you've never checked her out, she's AMAZING, but please don't compare her blogs to mine, especially her photography. Oh man if I had a great camera and some photog skills and training (which I really do want, but where would I fit those in?) Anyway, I'm getting off subject, debuting something quick easy and fantastic (Matt even ate the leftovers :)
You'll Need:
1 lb ground beef (or chuck or turkey or whatever you fancy)
1 (19 oz) can black beans (with the liquid, yep don't drain those suckers)
1 can (14.5 oz) chili diced tomatoes with green chilies (you can actually use whatever you want, the recipe really calls for petite-cut zesty jalapeno tomatoes, but I couldn't find those)
1 pkg taco seasoning mix (I used Mild and it still had a kick to it, well little Julyiet gave me heartburn anyhow :)
1 (6.5 oz) corn bread mix
Whatever is required to fix said corn bread mix (mine called for an egg, milk and butter)
Mexi-Blend shredded cheese
Optional: Sour Cream
Step One: Pre-Heat your oven to 425! Brown your ground meat :)
Step Two: Def drain that stuff!
Step Three: Pour in beans, tomatoes and taco seasoning. Cook it up, let it boil and then simmer for a minute or two.
Step Four: While your awesomeness is cooking mix up your corn bread.
So that it looks something like this :)
And your awesomeness will look something like this :)
Step Five: Turn off your awesomeness and pour your cornbread mix on the top. 
Spread it all around and plop it in the oven :)
Step Six: Bake for ten minutes and then pull out and cover with as much cheese as you would like. 
Step Seven: Bake 5 more minutes and VOILA! Ok that isn't Spanish but I'm not sure what the Spanish term would be. I let it sit for a minute or two and then served it up! Matt loved it, Klaeyton only ate the bread and the beans and of course wanted more cheese.

P.S. next time I am def using my camera. These pictures are not so great :)
A Beautiful Thing.
Just something beautiful I wanted to share....
I take it for granted and sometimes overlook how important this is. How magical it can be and beautiful it is to see him with it. So comfortable and in place. It's like watching a masterpiece in motion and seeing that it's exactly where God wants him to be.

I certainly don't think this picture does justice. I really should start using my camera rather than the one on my iphone. The quality is like a million times better :)
Coming later...my cooking adventure from last night!
Oh the joys of being an ordinary wife :)

My Ten List For Today!
I need to get over my "fear" of blogging. I'm always so worried that my posts need to be of some sort of caliber. Umm. Who am I writing this for again? Well, I love my readers :) yes I know who some of you are, I secretly stalk you. JUST KIDDING! But ultimately I do this because I enjoy doing it, so why am I fretting?
The last couple days have been busy, hence the lack of postage :) So this one, it's def going to be labeled with pretty much everything. YES!
1. This is Klaeyton, wait for it...eating chicken nuggets!!! I haven't been able to get him to eat hardly any kind of meat and he scarfed these...the vegetables...well not so much but we'll work on that :)
2. Oh Klaeyton and his suckers. Cheese!
3. Yes this is only about 2 minutes later :) I have to admit I felt pretty bad having to wake him up to clean up his face :)
4. I tried out a new recipe tonight that I'll share later. I even took pictures :)
5. My dog has an in the house complex where she thinks she's too good to ever be outside.
6. Klaeyton loves to put his own shoes on and when I catch him putting them on the wrong feet, I say, "Wrong foot!" and instead of switching feet, he picks up the other shoe. Am I the only one who thinks this is weird?
7. I can't remember the last time I sat through a whole meal in my home without having to get up at least like a gazillion times.
8. It's beginning to feel oh so much like fall...and I LOVE IT!
9. I really do think I want a Kindle. The more I read about them, the more I want one.
10. I was sitting here thinking what the last item on my ten list today would be when Matt walked out of the bathroom looking like this. Oh the things that drop in your lap. Yes, I married this man :)
Oh the joy of being me :)

My Mommy Feelings
There are def other things I should be doing, but I had to share this story while it was fresh in my mind.
Klaeyton refused to take a nap today. We tried at least three times up until 2:30. No luck. Don't get me wrong, I will not let him give up his nap that easily, but I also know when it isn't worth the effort.
Anyhow, no nap = oober cranky Klaeyton. duh. Normally, I wouldn't alternate his bed time because I like to keep him on a regular sleep schedule. But tonight I knew he wasn't going to make it till 8:30. So we did our bedtime thing and when I put him in his crib he was mad at me. He didn't want to go to bed. I turned on his music and turned around and asked him for my night-night kiss. He says, "No!" and goes to the corner of his crib. I said, "Ok" with my sad face (I know I know I shouldn't guilt my child into kissing me goodnight, but for truths sake, my feelings were hurt) Of course he screamed for me to come back as I start to leave the room. I told him I was only asking one more time and then I would leave and close the door. So what does my angelic toddler do? He tells me "No!" and goes to the corner of the crib. Sure enough, I sucked up my hurt mommy feelings and left.
What did Klaeyton do? Of course, he screamed bloody murder for about ten minutes. I knew he needed to calm down before he would fall asleep, so this time I sucked up my mommy pride and went in. He immediately grabbed for me to give me a kiss. Now I know I could have let him scream endlessly, to prove my point. But I had a bigger point to prove (other than picking my battles).
As Klaeyton kissed me goodnight, I rubbed his back (never taking him out of the crib) and told him to have sweet dreams and that I loved him. I left the room and he didn't make a peep. The more I thought about it, the more I was satisfied with the decision I made. Some may think I was too soft, or that I'm not teaching him anything, but I felt like in those moments I was showing my son forgiveness, and more importantly that I may leave him to hang for a little while, but that I love him and I'll always be there even when he hurts my mommy feelings.
I know I know, he's too young to understand that, but maybe it was more for me than him. Maybe I needed to know that even when K hurts my mommy feelings, I will still always be there.

Mexi Chicken Bake
If you know anything about me, you know that Sunday is actually the start of my work week, hence why there was no blog yesterday.
But... I wanted to share a quick and easy dinner that I came up with and tested out (again) on friends of ours last night.
You need:
Baking pan (I use a 13 by 9 glass pan)
1-2 lbs boneless chicken tenders (depending on how many people you're feeding)
1 can chili ready tomatoes (drain)
1 small jar of salsa
1 can black beans (drain)
1 can corn (drain)
shredded cheese
sour cream
rice
I put my oven on 375 and put the meat and all the top stuff in the pan. I cover and cook until the chicken is done.
Make the rice and pour mixture over top and add some cheese and sour cream. Voila! So easy and so good. You could probably spice it up a bit with spices and seasonings but I found the salsa and chili tomatoes are good if you don't like handling spices :)
It also reheats really well. We learned, though that it might be a better meal with corn chips than rice for little kids. At least that way if you don't have a dog, you aren't cleaning up rice off the floor. Unless of course your toddlers don't throw their food on the floor ;)

I Semi-Bribed My Toddler? So What?
I ran some errands yesterday for work and for personal reasons. I decided to let Matt sleep in, so I took Klaeyton with me. First, we went to Dollar General so I could pick up some packaging tape to mail in my old text books to Amazon (which I'm stoked I'll be getting $75 in Amazon credit for). Anywho, Klaeyton was so good. I didn't even have to put him in a cart. So I rewarded him with a push pop. Probably not the healthiest option I could have went for, but I figured it would also keep him pretty occupied as we got in and out of the car the next few times. So it was half reward and half bribe, I just didn't tell him about the bribe part.
I have to admit. The Push Pop was worth it :)
We then proceeded to Subway so I could get some gift cards. Klaeyton, was again very good, especially since we had to wait awhile. The lady thought he was so cute she gave him a cookie. Here's my little man double fisting his treats.
Our last two stops were pretty short and simple and as before Klaeyton was really well behaved. Our days aren't always so peaceful and tantrum free, but I also believe... how do children learn to act in public if you never take them out in public? I got so lucky yesterday, but I think after the splurges he was allowed, he might actually want to go on errands with me more often :)

Upstairs Progress
Yesterday was kind of a busy day... now that I look back on it, I'm surprised I got so much done. But I'm certainly not here to ramble off each minute that was accounted for. I actually just wanted to post regarding my progress on the upstairs :)
If you remember from the other day, it was quite a mess, even after I started it. Well it's still sort of a mess, but at least now it's a categorized mess that will be a lot easier for me to sort through :)
Woo Hoo there is clean floor space! I know it looks like everything is just shoved to the left, but I can assure you it's sorted. See all that baby stuff? Most of it is going to the nursery, the rest of it will end up on the curb or craigslist :)
Ok give me a break I'm soaking up the satisfaction of clear floor space :)
Ok I promise this is the last picture of nothing, but you see that?! Nothing! ...well except that random baby toy :)
I just had to share this picture. Klaeyton helped me out upstairs and wore this hat around for a good thirty minutes. My little mexican toe head :)

The Upstairs...Dun Dun Duuun!
I'm trying out this whole labels thing on the blog to see how it works. hmm.
Anywho, this post is really about how I'm celebrating that I finally drug my butt upstairs to get started. And of course, telling you all about it just wouldn't do me justice. So I'll share some pictures with you all. Warning! Disclosure! It's a complete disaster, but now it's a complete disaster in progress :)
This is what my stairs currently look like. I started from the back of the upstairs and haven't made it this far, so yes even after today my stairs still look like this.
I guess I should be embarrassed. But I'm not.

I guess I should be embarrassed. But I'm not.
This is what the top of the stairs looks like.
Nope didn't make it here yet either.
This is what I managed to get done in only an hour. All those boxes on the left, those are "crap boxes" meaning I threw all the crap that was on the floor in them and pushed them to the side, because ultimately I still have to go through them all. And I would like to say that the majority of stuff in those boxes belongs to my husband. The boxes on the right consist of all the books that used to be on our bookshelf, until we moved and it died.
I must say I'm impressed with the amount of clear floorspace I achieved. I'm off to a great start :)
Unfortunately, I still have this to sort through before really beginning the clearing out of stuff. Well, this and the crap on the stairs I shared earlier. It seems I have my work cut out for me. :)
But I'm ok with it. Once it's finished, I'll hardly know what to do with myself.
Don't worry. I'll keep you updated :)

Warning: Naked Baby!
I woke up this morning feeling awfully inspired and knew it was going to be a day where I wrote a lengthly blog. So here I am, on my back porch, soaking up the shade and watching Klaeyton and Jasey chase each other in the yard. I have to admit, I smile when she aggravates him. Only because he aggravates her on a constant basis and I'm a true believer that what goes around comes around.
I had my first real baby dream last night. One that wasn't too creepy and where I could actually picture baby Julyiet. I think that may be why I woke up feeling much better, considering the scare I had about 1:30.
I woke up, naturally because I had to pee and noticed Matt wasn't home from work yet. I figured I'd open Klaeyton's door to help with the air flow now that I knew he was fast asleep. I peek in and can't see him anywhere in his crib! Granted, it's mostly dark but I couldn't even see a body outline. I hurry in, not caring how loud I'm being and my eyes search the crib frantically to find him behind the curtain (that he had pulled into the crib) all curled up in a ball. I don't think I've ever sighed so heavily in relief. It was one of the scariest moments ever and I experienced it half asleep. So naturally when I stumbled back into bed, I was wide awake and afraid that a night of good sleep was completely lost. So my Julyiet dream came at a very good time.
Klaeyton and I went to Life Groups around 10 and leaving there I felt even more refreshed. It's nice to have time with other moms. I think that's when I really realize that I'm normal and that being a mom is no ordinary adventure.
Speaking of adventures I have a few things about Klaeyton to share, because pretty much everything with him is an adventure ;)

He proceeded to whine about his boo boo this morning.
So I band-aided it up with an awesome Shrek band-aid.
But of course the little boy in him takes over.
As he continually not only took the band-aid off
But kept picking at the scab, making it raw.
And what do you know?
He kept whining about it too :)
Klaeyton fell asleep for his five minute cat nap
on the way home...
Still clutching his pretzel stick.
So naturally...
Nap time was somewhat of a struggle.
Instead of lying down at 12:30 like usual,
He gave me a hard time so I tried again at 2.
By this time, I needed a nap and actually fell asleep for 2 hours!
After Matt left for work around 4:30, I went in to check on K
and open his door of course.
No, there was no where is he? scare.
Instead, I found this:
Mind you, Klaeyton has never done this before.
It's even funnier because today at Life Groups
another mom
was talking about how her son has learned to undo his cloth diapers at night.
And of course, I was thinking...
I'm so lucky Klaeyton has never done that.
That's what I get for thinking.
I couldn't disrupt this little angels sleep.
So, instead I just assumed I'd have a mess to clean up in awhile.
But what do you know?
Klaeyton woke up dry and even let me put his dry diaper back on him.
I'm sure he'll hate me when he's older
and I blow this picture up
for his 16th birthday party ;)
Oh the joy of being an ordinary mom.

Maybe I Leave the Bathroom Door Open On Purpose?
Klaeyton.s Newest Favoritest Game :)
He dashes into the bathroom every chance he can get.
Which is normally when I forget to close the door.
He grabs up a handful of dog food (also known as "food balls").
He darts into the dining room, pulls back his arm and...
DINK! you hear the food hit the floor in at least 20 different places.
All of a sudden we can hear Klaeyton laughing hysterically as Jasey darts around the room scouring for each morsel of food.
If it weren't so darn funny, I'd be more careful to close the bathroom door ;)
Oh the joy of being an ordinary mom.
I Could Use A Visit From The Motivation Fairy
I started this post some days ago, but haven't had the concentration to sit down and finish it:
I've acquired a new obsession the last couple of days. I've found this blog http://moneysavingmom.com/ and I absolutely LOVE it! It has led to to me scouring some other blogs and stuff. I found some awesome coupons this week and when I went shopping yesterday I got some awesome deals. I didn't even spend that much time planning, but I figure as much time as I spend doing other stuff, I should take a little extra time to save us some money. It's not like we're millionaires or anything ;)
That's as far as I got. I'll elaborate some more :) I followed up this week with some more deal scouring. I didn't have any coupons that were of immediate use to me, but did shop at two different stores in order to stay within our grocery budget for the week and I have to say I did fantastic! I'm determined to start budgeting better so that we can start putting more into savings.
Anywho, I still haven't acquired the needed motivation to get upstairs. And last night it took me forever to fall asleep due to the million things going through my head regarding what we still haven't done to prepare for the baby. I need to make a needs list so we don't end up buying everything at once and completely breaking the bank. I also need to find a sofa bed so we can get our stuff moved upstairs already. And (gulp) I need to start organizing the upstairs so that there will even be room for all that stuff. Oh how I need the motivation fairy. It doesn't help that we're still having these 95 degree days where all I want to do is sit in front of my air conditioner. I mean really? I think fall needs to hurry up and get here.
I got so excited yesterday in the stores seeing all the fall stuff being brought out. This year...I am def ready.
Matt bought Klaeyton Finding Nemo and he likes it! So for the last couple of days, we've been watching Nemo instead of Cars. I'm totally ok with that :) It's hard to believe that in little over a month K will be 2! It's going by so fast. I have to plan his birthday party yet too. I'm still deciding what we're going to do...and still trying to find the cheapest way to go...why do birthday parties always end up being so expensive?

I'm totally ok with that :) It's hard to believe that in little over a month K will be 2! It's going by so fast. I have to plan his birthday party yet too. I'm still deciding what we're going to do...and still trying to find the cheapest way to go...why do birthday parties always end up being so expensive?

Our Morning Routine.
Klaeyton and I have gotten into a pretty regular morning routine. Before I got pregnant this time around, I'd be up at 530 so that I could have a couple hours to myself before anyone was up. However, I'm too tired for that now, even when I do make it to bed at nine. So, now I sleep till about 7 when Klaeyton gets up. Sometimes I have to wrangle him out of his crib because he wakes up cranky, but mostly the morning starts out well with a diaper change and some juice, then Klaeyton watches Cars for the millionth time. I try to encourage him to change it up with Shrek or Curious George, but ultimately, it's always Cars. Sometimes he'll sit in the big comfy chair with just his juice or he'll insist on a package of fruit snacks (this happens when he darts to the pantry before I can get the door closed). At some point, he'll be ready for breakfast and he'll pull his high chair over (so that he can still see Cars) and insist on getting up himself and doing the buckles. He loves to do the buckles now. He locks the tray himself and then grins a huge accomplished smile telling me he's ready to eat. Most mornings it's yogurt and fresh fruit or cereal with some bananas or raisins thrown in. I get him all settled and he eats away, every now and then yelling "Kachow!" from Cars.
I used to feel guilty letting him watch tv with little or no interaction from me, but I've come to realize that if it gives me an hour in the morning to balance the checkbook, have my coffee and get my day straight, it's probably better for the both of us. Besides, I usually limit the tv time anyway and shove him outside when he's done eating :)
When it's time to wake Matt up, Klaeyton has his own rituals. He normally waltzes in the bedroom yelling "Daddy-O"! He climbs up on the bed and immediately begins driving his "dump car" all over daddy till he wakes up. Sometimes, he even throws a wrestling move in there to change it up. I have to admit, I love to watch :)
Oy vey, what am I going to do when there's two of them? When one needs nursed while the other one is insisting on blueberry yogurt not strawberry? It's a whole new adventure I'll be tackling and let's face it, my time management skills can only get better :)

Stickers and Mom Stuff.
I feel like this pregnancy is flying by. It's probably because I have Klaeyton around to keep me plenty busy and I can't complain. I really don't care for being pregnant. Some women apparently love it. Me? Not so much. At least, not with this little acrobat. When I carried Klaeyton, it was easy. My morning sickness was minimal, I didn't really get uncomfortable until the very end, and I could take all the time I wanted to myself to soak in the bath tub or snuggle up in front of the tv. This time? Hah. The sickness was so bad I was put on medication and was pretty much confined to the couch for at least a month. My face has broken out worse than it ever has in my life and now even at almost 6 months, I'm already super uncomfortable and having trouble sleeping. But no worries, I get my exercise chasing Klaeyton around ;) I shouldn't complain though. I can't even express my excitement about having a second child. Klaeyton's going to be a big brother and a big part of my anticipation is seeing them together.
On that note. Bring on the fall. I didn't think I would ever say this and maybe it's all the pregnancy hormones speaking but I'm tired of summer. I'm ready for jeans, hoodies and flip flops. I'm ready for the days when I can keep my windows open and not run my ac or my heat and just throw on an extra blanket at night. I'm ready for changing leaves, cool breezes and pumpkin patches. I think this summer has just been a tad too hot for me. I'm ready. Now I know once we get that 8ft of snow in November I'll be complaining, but right now I'm ok with it :)
I can hardly believe K will be two in less than two months. He's becoming so independent. And he's so smart. His new thing is stickers. Oh how he loves stickers. And it keeps him occupied for awhile. I think I have found my new distraction for the grocery store and when we go out to eat.
He's obsessed with cars. Both the movie and the matchbox kind. I think maybe he has gotten over his balloon phase because now he insists on taking his "dump car" to bed with him. Yeah, he won't say truck, he calls everything a car, complete with Boston accent.
I'm still working on the house. I need more motivation to make it upstairs. I'm such a procrastinator I'll probably do it right before the baby arrives. I might just wait till it gets cooler so that I don't have to worry about hauling one of the ac units up there.
So I'm completely addicted to Dexter. I finally broke down and started watching it after everyone kept telling me how awesome it is and now I'm totally hooked. It's such a weird show, but I can't help but get sucked it. Thank goodness for netflix. I love it!
I think I might bake something today. Granted it doesn't cause my kitchen to heat up to 400 degrees :)

Nesting and Jumping on the Bed.
I think I've figured out the reason I can't keep up with blogging on a daily basis...well for starters I'm lazy. Not like lazy like I sit on my couch all day, but lazy like it takes effort to think about what I'm going to write and every time I start to click on that bookmark at the top of my screen, I talk myself out of it. But sitting here in my glider (thanks to Nana and Papa Harden) in Klaeyton's newly organized and extremely clean room, I can smell freshly cut grass (not ours, we're so terrible about mowing the grass regularly) and I just feel like it's a perfect time to write.
Yesterday my nesting kicked in. I'm determined to get the house in order before Julyiet gets here. I started with K.s room. What a mess. This child has so much stuff. He doesn't need any more toys for like ever. Anywho... I went through everything, got some more bins to organize, and threw a bunch of stuff out. I even went through all his clothes and yanked stuff that's too small or that he never wears. I moved stuff around and put his new town rug on the floor. It looks so much better and I can actually walk through his room without stepping on toys. Bliss.
My next project is to start the upstairs, which I can do once we get an ac unit up there. I've told myself not to expect to get it all done overnight. It's a process and it will get done :)
One of Klaeyton's new favorite activities is playing on our bed. He loves to jump on it and wrestle and roll around. He'll just laugh and laugh. I need to get a video of it. Sometimes I think he's disappointed if it's just me, because he can't jump all over me like he does Matt. But when I watch the two of them together my whole body smiles. You can just see how much they love each other. It's a feeling only a wife and mother can know.

A Basketball In My Shirt
So Matt and I had plans to go out with friends last night, you know for some well deserved adult time. Well...the last few days my pregnancy hormones have been a little out of whack and I've been secretly crying over how none of my clothes fit well and how when I wear my regular shirts I just feel fat. I def don't feel cute and pregnant. I don't remember having this much trouble when I was carrying Klaeyton. Probably because one, I didn't get big until close to the very end, and two, we had just moved here, had no close friends and I really didn't care what I looked like out in public. Why this time around is so much different, I'm not entirely sure, although I do have an inkling. But anyway, I decided to go on a mission to get a couple new things yesterday. A mission that well...just read on.
I tried Walmart, Target and even Old Navy before realizing that I was going to have to break down and actually buy Maternity clothes in order to feel comfortable and look cute. So I dove into Motherhood Maternity. The great part, I found out I'm actually wearing a size small instead of the medium I was originally thinking. I found some things I really liked. However, the price paid for them...not so much. On the way home I was thinking about returning a couple things, when I realized they only do in store credit and no cash refunds. So what did I do? I cried and thankfully I have a hubby who is both understanding and thoughtful. He returned from Target with a beautiful new centerpiece for my table and told me not to feel guilty. How did I get so lucky?
The moral of my story... one of the unfortunate side effects of being pregnant is having to spend a little more on clothes (unless you get lucky and find a sale or are lucky enough to inherit a whole new wardrobe, neither of which I was), anyway you spend a little more but you don't feel so awkward when out on the town with friends and instead of a fruity umbrella in your drink, you're sporting a basketball up your shirt. :)

Potties and Harsh Realities
Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
It's amazing how you can feel so accomplished yet so defeated at the same time. If you're ever feeling this way...read this verse...drink some herbal tea and woosah :) Trust me, it helps.
Today Klaeyton walked up and told me that it was raining outside and by golly it was. How did my little man get to be so smart all of a sudden?
His new obsession (other than eating cheese with all his meals) is the potty. He talks about it all the time and he's even let me put him on it. He loves to flush it, and even insists on doing so after he tells me he needs his diaper changed. I'm skeptical as to whether he's really ready or not, considering he's not even two yet, but I figure we might as well buy him his own potty chair and give it a whirl. The worst that could happen is he loses interest and we wait a while and try again. Oh but how nice it would be to have him out of diapers before Julyiet arrives.
This evening Klaeyton and I experienced a harsh reality. My belly is just getting too big for him to sit on top of me in the "big chair" when we snuggle before bed. Instead we sat on the couch and attempted to snuggle but it wasn't the same and at one point he got so frustrated he went and sat in the big chair without me and told me I couldn't sit with him. I think in that moment he broke my heart for the first time. I had to let him be and it was one of those moments when I realized that he won't always want me around, or better yet, he won't need me around. I know I know he's only a toddler but it's like a small glimpse into the later years of parenthood. Ones that I can already tell are going to be a lot tougher than taming tantrums and changing diapers. It didn't last long...he was back on the couch with me within minutes. But those few moments were enough time for me to realize that I better get all the snuggles in that I can.

Name Drop
Matt and I finally decided on the spelling of Baby Harden #2's name. She now has a name :) We decided on Julyiet Luella Harden.
I must admit. I'm pretty stoked. :)
Probably the shortest blog ever but I wanted to share.
Currently Matt just told Klaeyton not to drive his car through his macaroni and K replied, "car eat noni." To which of course Matt replies, "No Klaeyton your car does not need to eat macaroni." I just smiled.

A Pish-Posh of Stuff
Yay! It's grocery shopping day. But naturally I would wake up this morning remembering an expense that I haven't taken into account for the month that had to be paid today. Small damper but nothing unmanageable. I think if managing finances was easy my life would be just a little bit too great. :)
It's amazing that it's almost nine and K is still asleep. It could be that I had him up late again last night. I feel like such a terrible mom sometimes, keeping my toddler out until 11 which is 3 hours well past his bedtime. But I do know this. Once Baby Harden #2 arrives I won't be able to do that. Taking one child to Applebees to enjoy some karaoke while Daddy's at work is one thing...but two? Yeah right. I don't even think I'm that brave. And lately finding a sitter has become a little bit more of a challenge. I already know it will be rough when there's two of them.
Klaeyton's new thing is telling everything Bu-Bye. Bu-bye car, Bu-Bye dog, it's like everything we leave behind he has to make sure to give his farewells to. It's awfully cute. I wish I could peek into his brain on more than one occasion. I think he's really intelligent like Matt is and I wish there was a way I could see what's going on in there.
Last night during Karaoke he was so well behaved. I can really only count the curl under a rock in public moments on one hand with K. As wonderful as that it, it makes me think, Oh No what will the next one be like? Complete opposite I'm sure.
She's def a mover. I can feel her all the time now doing acrobatics in my belly. I can't wait till I'm just a little bit bigger so that Klaeyton can feel her too. I'm looking forward to the look on his face and seeing how he'll react. It's hard to believe I'm already half way there. Then again, we are def not ready yet. There's so much to do! I really should get hopping.
Well anywho, I need to make my grocery list and enjoy my few moments of peace and quiet while everyone in the house is still sleeping. Despite my love for noise, it's def nice to have some time to myself in the mornings :)

Everchanging
I am beyond overdue. And the interesting part is I've been itching to write for awhile now, but have been so busy that I haven't squeezed in the time to sit down and actually write. Well, today I decided to do just that. I've been extremely productive all morning and believe I am taking a well deserved break :)
Let's see. Where should I even begin? Well... I'll start with a Thursday a couple weeks ago. It was a great day. Matt and I were having an ultrasound done at the imaging center and were leaving the house with K when we checked the mail and got an excellent surprise that enabled us to head to the Apple store that day and purchase our new Mac :) I'm sure you can imagine how extremely excited I was. So we drop K off with the grandparents and head to the imaging center. Now keep in mind we are pretty positive this baby's a boy. But not only were we wrong but the ultrasound lady was so great! "You see those three little lines...no boy parts...you're having a girl" The surprise was huge! Here I had accepted that I'd be in the house with all boys, when God throws me a curve ball :) I won't reveal the whole name yet because we haven't decided on a spelling yet :) You know us...it's gotta be a little unconventional. But yes Baby Harden is def a GIRL!
We were then off to Michigan, where I got to meet a lot of Matt's extended family for the first time. It was a fantastic couple of days! Klaeyton had an absolute blast and we were sad to leave. But now we know there are many more fun times to be had.
We're making some changes. If you know Matt and I, you know we're always up for change. Matt's looking at new programs and possibly looking for a day job. I think I have finally found my calling and am now scouting Master's programs as well. It's exciting.
Klaeyton grows by the day. (And some days he thinks he's so grown that he doesn't need a nap, but Mommy is working on negating that one) His vocabulary especially. Yesterday Matt taught him to call Mommy a fat fat. Which I have to admit was absolutely hysterical. He still won't repeat I love you, but he'll talk to you for hours if you'd let him.
The other day he threw his shoe out the car window. Thankfully we were parked and I just happened to be looking in the rear view mirror at that moment.
He broke a ceramic gum jar at this mexican restaurant we were at on Sunday. A tad embarrassing.
He growls at every unknown female that attempts to talk to him. I still haven't quite figured this one out yet.
One of the best yet though...one morning as Klaeyton and I are trying to wake Matt up in the bed, Klaeyton farts and then says, "Daddy, Shoo-ey" Yep. Hysterical.
I want to start keeping more notes of all the memorable things he does. I know twenty years from now there will be a gazillion and some of them I just don't want to forget.
