Boys will be Boys?!!!@!!!? HELP
















I always wanted to have a boy (especially this pregnancy)but as the arrival of our first son is creeping up closer and closer I am starting to panic.


My mother came from a family of 3 girls, my mom had 2 girls and I have 2 girls. Noone on my side of the family is used to boys. I can do drama, I can do whinning and I can do excessive talking. I am not quite sure how to handle a messy rowdy boy. They scare me and if he is anything like his daddy he will be fearless which scares me even more.

Johnny is such a wonderful DADDY to our girls and is content and happy to be wrapped around their little fingers. I KNOW he will be an amazing father to our son. What an example and role model our kids have in him. They are so lucky. I however feel completly unprepared and unequipped to have a boy.

Any little boy moms out there have any advice PLEASE SHARE...I need HELP!!

THANKS TARA



Tara threw a fun "boy" shower for me. It was so nice to be surrounded by friends, some new some old but still friends. I wanted to thank everyone that came to celebrate with me. It was sureal to get all things "boy". Tara you have always been such a good friend and such an example to me. I love you very much and am greatful that you are in my life.

Thanks again for such a fun night!!

Here are some pictures of the gifts my sister got me. The one on the left says "My entire life is being blogged" and the one on the right says "I already brought sexy back". (poking fun at my love for JT) (If you dont know who JT is then I am happy NOT to explain). She lives in Canada and sent over a package to the shower for me. I miss her very much and wish she was closer but it was so nice to get a piece of her humor there with me. Nobody can make me smile and laugh quite like she does.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISABELA and JASON!!!


I warned Jason 4 years ago when I was 9 months pregnant that having a baby girl born near his birthday would forever make his "less important". He thought it was funny then and I am glad he still does. As you can see from the picture above she just adores him and I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual. We all got together to celebrate their birthdays and the cake below proves what a good sport Jason was on having a princess themed joint birthday with his 4 yr old niece.

There was some tough negotiations on who would get which princesses and I have to personally thank Jason for giving up Ariel and Belle and giving into those big blue eyes and letting her keep all 4 of them. What a sacrifice......She sleeps with them by her night stand as I know he would have too.

NOSTALGIC








Isabela just had her 4th birthday and we snuggled into bed and watched home movies of the day she was born and the day she met Angelina for the first time. I still can't believe they were ever that small. Now all of a sudden I am a wrek. I have to say not a day goes by that I dont look at them and smile but am also sad at how fast they grow. People ALWAYS say this but until you are a parent you dont understand what the big deal is. I dont wish they were that tiny anymore because they werent nearly as funny and sweet. It is so nice to have your child walk into the room as say "i love you" and give you a kiss just because. I am grateful that my girls are very affecionate and I know they love me as much as I love them. Yet I still cannot believe how fast they grow up. People have been asking me lately since Isabela turned 4 if she will be going to kindergarden next year and I am SO HAPPY that she has a late birthday so I have another whole year with her :)


Maybe its her 4th birthday, maybe its that in a couple of months our family with be entirely different, maybe it is the hormones but I just cant imagine what life would be like without them.
