Just can't seem to get in the blogging mood!

So, how do you do it? I read blogs, sometimes everyday. Blogs that are updated daily and sometimes more than once a day. How do they do it? I think about my blog and what I'd like to post here and that's it. Taking the time to actually come here and put something in is my problem. There's things in my life that I'm just not gonna put here, because I don't like sharing every little detail of my life with the internet public arena. There's things that I'd love to put here, but can't for other personal reasons. Then there's the things that I will always put here. My boys, my love for my family, and an occasional new recipe that my family loved.

I had new 2011 goals for my blog that have fallen by the wayside already. 15 days into the New Year and I've failed on my a top goal. So, I'm gonna try to get with the program and at least post here weekly. If I get here more than that then great! I'm a new SAHM, still trying to get in a routine, if there is such a thing. My boys are very demanding of my attention as is the household chores and just being a Mom.

So, I hope you will read my upcoming blog posts and maybe get something out of them. For me, its a form of therapy :)

Have a good one! Until next time,

Christmas and a Birthday!

We had our Lollis family Christmas party yesterday at the nursing center where Nanny lives. Everyone was there and it was great to have the family together again and to have another Christmas with Nanny. The kids were all happy and loved being able to play a little inside and have some fun. As usually the kids were "hurry up and eat so we can open presents!" I do believe Nealon would tell you the best gift he got was a Slinky! He has really enjoyed that.









We also had a little birthday celebration for Weston since it was his birthday. Everyone sang Happy Birthday and he enjoyed blowing out the candle on his cake. He's growing up so fast.


I tried to get as many pictures as I could, but you never get enough. After getting home and reviewing my pics I forgot to get a 4th generation picture with my dad and Nanny. I have one when Ethan was little, but not with Weston. Soon!

A New Year...In pictures.

A goal for this year is to do the 365 picture project. If you haven't ever heard of this it's where you take a picture, any picture, everyday for a year. I've got friends who have done this and have really enjoyed it and I hope to as well.
Tomorrow, January 2, will be Weston's 2nd birthday! Holy moly...2!!!! Sigh..I don't have a baby anymore. Just today I was thinking back to the night before I went into the hospital to be induced. He is my 3rd baby, my nerves were crazy and I didn't sleep at all that night. Just laying there in bed enjoying his movements, rib kicks and bladder punches. I knew he would be our last, so I just enjoyed my last night being pregnant, as miserable as I was!



He brings such joy to our lives. His smile, his laugh, his sweet kisses and tight hugs, his sweet voice saying "I wuv you mommy", or hearing him call from his crib "come get me mommy!" He's as big as his big brother when he wrestles on the floor and a cuddle bug who loves to rock rock in the lazy boy. Oh please Father time, slow down. My babies are growing up and I'm not really ready yet!


Tomorrow at our Lollis Family Christmas party (rescheduled due to snow), we will sing happy birthday and let him blow out his candle. Cake is ready, momma, not so much :(.



Happy 2nd Birthday Weston Zane!
