I am so bad about doing this blogging thing and honestly doubt anyone follows this but it gives me something to so my kids when they get older.
Connor started Kindergarten last week and has already sadly been labled the class clown who is so smart but has trouble listening. I am raising a brat and it is time for some changes, that he of course is so resistant to. He blames all the changes on the man in my life, but we all know better, he is just upset that he isnt in control anymore.
Today I call the teacher and set up an after school conference about sending home some extra "homework" to keep Connor learning outside of school and busy enough to stay out of trouble in and out of class. He truly is bright but I know he is from my gene pool meaning he has my mouth and attitude with his father's sassy confident self assurance. This all adds up to a mature mouthed sassy child and equals trouble!!!!
Grayson is chowing down on baby food now. He loves bananas, applesauce, and pears; each time he eats it is a full jar that he eats within ten minutes of getting the bib on. I have to hold his hand because I can't seem to feed him fast enough and those fingers go in his mouth. lol
Still haven't heard anything from Bell Helicopter but they have sent my resume along to management means it is out of recruitment hands. Hoping and reasonably waiting to hear something back by October latest December time frame. I am realizing that the move to Texas will take some time but that is the way it is suppose to be to make sure it is really what I want. With no question Manly is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with but that wont happen until I can get my kid under control. So it is a good thing we arent leaving yet.
I will post some pictures in the next week or so.

Family Day
Saturday afternoon, my parents and sister had a poker run that ended with one last picnic at Beech Lake Park shelter. That is right Beech Lake was sold and will no long be a private park and most likely will no longer be a park at all :(
The boys and I met them up there to enjoy one last memory of the boys playing at the park I grew up playing on as a child with my friends. Pig in and Pig out fed us and Mom made the wonderful desserts, after some showing off of buring rubber and fancy things on their bikes it was time to cool of with some water balloons and time to clean up. Amazingly enough we were home at a decent time and in bed at an even better time.
I love watching my sister with the baby and being so motherly to Connor. It was good seeing mom back on the bike and found out they are going to Stirgaus this year. I have some cool parents lol.
Not much to write about this weekend, it was chill and non eventful really. I love having the cable off, Connor actually wants to spend time with me coloring and reading his many books. When we get to Texas I need to get him and Grayson a full size bookshelf for all their books. I have a house that will pass the white glove test now and got some nap time in with Grayson as well.

Four months
Tomorrow Grayson gets his four month shots and Connor has his Kindergarten physical. They are growing up so fast, Grayson is finally gainging some weight and fitting into 0-3 clothes, no new born diapers or clothes now :)
We are on month number two waiting to hear back from Bell Helicopter on a possible interview and job. they are still screening my resume to find the best fitting position so no news is a good sign so far. My love and I are saying our prayers that our plans work out but remaining flexable. We are between the two of us saving for the house we found and are hoping to be in by December.
Not much to write about at this time it really is the same thing day after day. Work, pick up the boys and play until dinner and bedtime, clean the house and other motherly duties, bed to get up at 4am to do it all over again.
I would not have it any other way :) I am deeply and truly blessed that I am only seperated from my soul mate by 450 miles and not eternity. My children are healthy and so am I. We will get through this test with flying colors and live the rest of our lives together in each other's arms where we belong.

this and that
I have been going through pictures lately with the move to Texas hopefully coming soon. Grayson might be tiny but he has figured out the Jonny Jump up and his play center.
He has discovered his voice this week and is not shy about using it. Even a few screams escaped to his big brother's dismay, he made sure to tell Grayson screaming is not allowed in our house, lol. It was so cute and watching those two together changes any bad day or sour mood I am in instantly. They get along so well, Connor is gentle and sensitive with Grayson, always worried when he cries and tries to make sure he is comfortable and happy. Connor will be a great boyfriend, husband and father one day in the far off future lol.

long time
It has been quiet some time since I have had time to record any thoughts here. Grayson is nearly four months now and Connor is five and a half. Next month Connor starts all day Kindergarden at Adams, Grayson is starting to cut teeth already. I am back finally with the love of my life, the man who completes me. We have a past that seperated us for a little while but we are fighting hard to make things right and be where we want to be. Which means for me and the boys a move to Texas that should have happened over a year ago when he first asked us to. But should have's are lies we tell ourselves to feel better about decisions we made in our past. Anyway, I am close to a new job in Amarillo and the move should happen before winter.
Lately I have been struggling with the whole comparing my children to others. Grayson is so tiny and not able to fit in his exercise center like others his age. Connor is doing well and so ready for school and football, he is the most excited to move and have a daddy as he alreadys calls him. Grayson's peditrician is not concerned about his size, I made the difficult decision to stop breastfeeding and switched to formula to help him gain some much needed weight and length. But he is still only 10-11 pounds and 22 inches, size one diapers are big on him and 0-3 clothes are as well. I feel like he is behind and I feel like it is my fault, terrible I know.
But otherwise we are doing well, keeping busy with work and going to the gym. I after two children have a body I worked so hard for before having them. lol. Life is good and I am staying positive about what the future holds for us. A great adventure is ahead of us that shows promise.

Welcome Grayson James
April 12th at 12:13pm Grayson James joined this world! He was a little guy at 7lbs and 13oz, 19 inches long. Recovery has been going exceptionally well, by Friday after the C-Section I was taking Connor to school and running some errands. I am breastfeeding Grayson until the doctors and I deam it necessary to switch to formula. I suffer from an anxiety disorder and depression, and have been off all my medications because of the pregnancy and will stay off them until I discontinue breastfeeding. So feeding into the anxiety of adjusting to a second child, decreased income, helping Connor adjust to not being the only child anymore, and my depression is the pull between nursing and not nursing. basically doing what is best for my child or for me. A decision I am struggling with and am not too proud to let everyone know I am not perfect or supermom.
So Grayson James has made life even brighter and we all love him so much already. I am enjoying getting to know him and how he is drastically different from his big brother. Speaking of Big Brother, he absolutly adores his baby, and does everything he can to help. Yes, we have had our awkard moment with breastfeeding where he tried to help his brother nurse...lol.
Not sure how often I will find time to post on here but I will do my best but Facebook is quick and where I keep updated pictures.
Gman is starting to stir and will be ready to eat, and big bro has picked out his night time book. So back to Mommy duties and maybe a few hours of sleep and a few bites to eat soon.
