Another Thanksgiving Has Come and Gone

Here it is. Another Thanksgiving weekend coming to an end. It was here - it was glorious - and now it is slipping away into a Sunday evening.

I'm sure I should write something very wonderful and meaningful, but I'm just too tired, darn it. And it's my blog so you'll get some pictures and just know that I'm thankful for all of the above in my life.

We spent Thanksgiving with my family this year. My sister, Colleen and her family was there along with John's parents and brother. The food was gloriously good - I didn't overstuff myself but enjoyed every bite.

We played Wii - our newest toy in our house. And Brennan, Reid and I even went for a walk after the dishes were done.

Here's a shot of the bird before it met it's fate in the fryer.John had every safety precaution in place for this event. No frying accidents this year.Evan and I kept our distance behind the gate, too!And here is my glorious meal - it consisted of homemade Parker House Rolls (by me), squash, carrots, ham, sausage stuffing, fried turkey, broccoli casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy and the sidecar plate had cranberry pineapple jello (by me) and another roll. I did go back for a few seconds...but still saved room for the pumpkin pie, pecan pie, cookies, brownie bites and cheesecake. YUMMO!

The Christmas season is in full swing with all it's festive events. Say a prayer that we all make it through whatever is on our calendar this month and that we have the strength to say no when we just can't do it. I wish everyone good luck and a Happy Holidays!

No More Baby

So, the day has come.

We no longer have a baby in the house.

Evan is sound asleep, right now, in his big boy bed.

I'm a little shocked he even fell for it. And with NO protesting at all.

See, we are having a big family garage sale in 2 weeks and I knew I wanted to try and sell all the baby things. Our house seems to get smaller and smaller by the day and I figured we could make room for Christmas if all the baby stuff was cleared out of here. So, tonight Bryan pulled the bed out of the attic and we set it up. I had bought a new set of sheets and quilt last week at Target (on sale, of course!).

Evan had stayed home today with me....he was up the night before coughing and he ran a slight fever all day (probably from our horrible parenting decision to go camping when it was 44 degrees the night before). Anyways, I was questioning whether or not he would really fall for a new bed tonight of all nights.

He did...no problems. He chose a toy, 2 books, had his Elmo, blankie (or baby as he calls it) and pillow. We kissed him goodnight and closed the door.

Not

a

peep.

He fell right asleep. I just can't believe it.

No more baby in our house.

Camping Out

We finally found a weekend that we could get away for a camp out. We chose to go pretty close to home in case we needed a speedy get away in the middle of the night due to an unpredictable certain 2 year old that was going with us. It turned out to be the most perfect Fall day - the weather was gorgeous!

We didn't pack too much and we actually didn't have too much planned but it turned out to be quite eventful. We got ourselves packed up that morning and headed out to Cedar Hill State Park. We found our site and set up camp. The boys were actually really helpful and really excited. The park was busy and pretty full but our site was nice in that we weren't right on top of another campsite and nobody was too loud. We found bunnies around our site, looked for spiders at night, played at the playground and drove around the park. We relaxed by the fire or played in the tent, too.

Grandma, Gramps, Colleen, Reid and Nan camp out that evening to roast some weenies and marshmallows with us too. That was great because it kept us entertained for a while. I didn't really consider the time change when we made our plans to go camping and that it would be totally dark by 6:00!

We then had an eventful evening with a little visitor to our site. He was named "Mr. Stinky" by Brennan - yes a SKUNK!!! He made his 1st appearance just after I left for a walk to the bathroom facilities. Bryan and the kids were hanging out by the picnic table and there was the skunk about 6 feet from Evan. He wandered back into the woods after Bryan shined the flashlight at him. But he ended up making an appearance several more times that night. Bryan loaded all the food items into the car but Mr. Stinky was still interested in checking us out. We watched him from the tent...Mr. Stinky licked the ends of the skewers we roasted marshmallows on, ate a graham cracker he found under the picnic table and walked around the fire pit. He was no longer afraid of the flashlight, fire, lantern, rustling of our feet in the tent, us barking like dogs, yelling "go away Mr. Stinky!" Bryan even threw a big rock and a stick into the woods in hopes it would deter him from coming back - but no luck! After we FINALLY got Evan to sleep we were sitting out by the fire talking and out walks Mr. Stinky - AGAIN- from the woods. He was rather close but wasn't afraid. In all of Bryan's camping experience he said he's never seen a live skunk before! Wow!! I guess I hadn't either but my camping experiences are not quite as many! I'm pretty sure he came out several times from the woods that night as I kept hearing rustling in the grass behind our tent all night. YIKES! The pictures aren't that great but you can see the eyes of the skunk looking at us in this picture.

And here is Mr. Stinky under the picnic table nibbling on a graham cracker he found.

The weather did get quite chilly that night but we managed to survive even though I was so paranoid trying to keep Evan warm all night.

There is always an adventure with the Steins

The boys did such a great job at "hanging out". I love how Evan looks like he's really reading that magazine in this picture.Colleen, Reid and Gramps roasting some marshmallows....our smores were so yummy!

Look at how disgustingly, gross Evan's shirt is. He had such a great time!Here we are keeping our distance from "Mr. Stinky" inside the tent.

5,4,3,2,1 Blast Off!

Today, I took Brennan to the Laurie Berkner Band Concert. She is one of my most favorite children's singer/songwriters! I have been using her songs for several years in music therapy and with my own kids. We see her on Noggin all the time and love to sing her energetic and thoughtful songs. I was thrilled when she was coming to town and thought it would be a great chance for Brennan and I to spend some quality time together. Brennan has always been a bit shy in front of me to sing or "let loose" - but he got into Laurie Berkner today. He (ME too!) had a great time.
I was so excited when they said you could take pictures of the band....but this is what I got.
...not so great - so you'll have to imagine how great it was!

If you have little ones and don't already own some of her music - you MUST, MUST, MUST purchase yourself some. I want to be Laurie Berkner when I grow up and wear pink boots on stage!

Enough with Halloween Already!!!

This is the longest month ever....I feel like we have been Halloweening for weeks - well, we kind of have. I thought I'd share a few pics of our costume antics this month.

Halloween Birthday Bash

Last Saturday was the big birthday party for the boys. We had talked Brennan into having a Halloween party this year. Originally, his plan was for a "dragon" party but I wasn't exactly sure how to pull that one off. So, I convinced him Halloween was a better idea when I showed him a picture of what the cake could be. He did agree. We had it a few weeks after their real birthday in hopes that the weather would be a bit cooler so all the kids could wear their costumes. It was cooler - but still did get warm...but I think everyone had a fun time. We enjoyed coming up with the ideas and decorations for the party too! I have tried to post this blogpost several times but the pictures upload would freeze it up. So I'm hoping my slide show will work and you can see the festivities that way.

We had so much fun at this party! There was a pumpkin patch, pumpkin ring toss, hayrides, paint the pumpkin and graveyard pinata. Bryan told a spooky story with touchy, feely boxes full of eyeballs, Egor's ears, witches' fingers, bat wings, and monster guts. For food we had snake eggs (grapes), mummy fingers (hotdogs in crescent rolls), fried grubs (chicken nuggets) and beetle wings (chips). The cake turned out great with help from my two partners in cake crime - Lindsey and Shannon.

Happy Birthday Brennan and Evan - I hope you had a fun time!

Pumpkins, Fall and Boys!

Here's a little update on all the fun we've been having lately. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Brennan!!!

I thought I couldn't believe it when Evan turned 2 last week....but I really can't believe it that Brennan turned 5! Firstly, because I can't believe I have been that responsible for 5 years to keep him alive and secondly, because he is on his way.

He is on his way to growing up, maturing and learning all there is too learn.

He is on his way to reading. He loves books (always has) and has been working on his reading at school. Soon enough he will be reading books on his own and not needing us to sit and read to him every night before bed.

He is on his way to writing. His handwriting has totally improved since last year. He is so careful (most of the time) and is taking pride in his writing. Soon enough he will be passing notes he's written in class to a crush and writing major homework assignments.

He is on his way to math. He has been very interested in numbers lately and asking us questions like "What is 100 + 100 +100?" "What is 100 + 3?". Soon enough he will be working on math problems that I will not have the answers too because it will be too hard for me!

He is on his way boyhood. He has already been a part of sport teams and soon enough it will take up even more time in our week than it already does. He got a bike for his birthday and soon enough he will be racing around the neighborhood and we won't be able to keep up.

He is on his way to playing the piano. I started him on some beginning piano books. He has done very well and seems interested in it. Soon enough he will be playing piano just by reading the notes.

I love how Brennan won't try something until he knows he can do it right the first time (just like me) and I love how Brennan is initially shy around people and then quickly becomes their friend (just like his Dad).

He makes me proud every day that he belongs to us and I'm looking forward to watching him on his journey.

Happy 5th Birthday, Brennan!

Happy Birthday, Evan!

Evan is 2 years old! I just can't believe he is leaving that baby stage forever and has moved into full-fledged toddlerhood. He is such a shining light in our lives.

I love that he is talking more and saying the cutest things. "Hi, Mommy", "Hi, Daddy", "Hi, Brennan-Boo". And, yes, he does just call him Brennan-Boo. He has been learning and growing so fast in the past few weeks with all this new language!

I love that he can be the sweetest little boy at times with snuggles and kisses (on the lips), patting your back, and then he can be downright stubborn with his typical toddler personality shining through.

I love that he is so extreme. We have called him Extreme Evan - whatever it is that he does...he does it extremely well.

I love that we have invented a nickname for him by calling him Mayor. For "Mayor of Crazytown" because he is certainly in charge there! He has no fear and will attempt anything as long as he is trying to keep up with his big brother. He also is called Mayor because, as someone once told us..."Evan demands respect!"

I love that he is totally hysterical with his funny faces and sense of humor. He came out into this world making funny faces! He has the best laugh too... and you totally know what he is thinking when he gives you a "look".

I love that he loves music and his favorite genre is hip/hop or rap. He loves the Underdog Theme Song and Can't Touch This or Ice, Ice Baby.

I love that most recently, he has been very interested in books. Pulling all the books off his bookshelf and bringing them to us one by one to read. He will go to sleep at night while looking at books.

I love that he is on the road to potty training. He has done way beyond my expectation and has been doing really well at school too!

I love that Evan is so different from his brother and is teaching us another way to parent.

I love that Evan completes our family and makes us smile everyday.

Happy Birthday, Evan. I love YOU!

Fun One on One

After a long work day, dinner and baths, Evan went to bed and Brennan and I had some time to hang out by ourselves. Bryan was working the school dance and the house was to ourselves. Brennan had seen those Wilton Haunted House Gingerbread Kits at the store and had been asking to do it. So, I had picked one of those up this evening and thought it would be a great project for us to do together. And it would be a perfect decoration for our Halloween/Birthday Party, too.

Brennan had sooo much fun and, well, so did I. He is such a neat kid to hang out with. He says the funniest things and has some really great ideas and creativity. Now, of course, he did want to do the haunted house exactly like the picture on the box. But he was so fun to watch as he discovered he could make patterns with the candy, explaining exactly where he wanted the icing and what color and how it should look, etc. He loved watching the powdered colored icing turn from what looked like white to orange when we added the water to the mix and the blue powder into black. He kept shouting "Mommy, this is AWESOME!" First of all, I don't know where he learned that word - awesome - but he was really using it tonight. It reminded me that he is growing up so fast (he will be 5 in only a few days)!

I think our finished project turned out perfect and our time together was to be cherished. It won't be long before he won't want to do those fun projects with me.

We tried to take the picture of ourselves.

And I thought this one was the best.

Where Oh Where Does my Little Time Go!

Alright, alright...so this going back to work thing, full time is kicking my butt and my blog has taken a major back seat. I am going to promise to be better about this...but honestly...there hasn't been much to celebrate lately.

We have been chugging along trying to get into our back to school groove. I think we are finally accomplishing that this week. I'm finally figuring out my new schedule at work and comfortable with all my new classes I see. Bryan is definitely in the swing of things with his work and the boys are both settled at school.

We had some issues with Brennan's little Kindergarten class...we were a bit nervous and excited to put him in there. And I'm sure he felt exactly the same way. We met the teacher and I was a bit more nervous. She seemed like a nice person - but certainly did not have the typical Kindergarten personality. I had hoped that maybe she was just nervous or having a bad day and didn't want to be overly friendly on the day we met her. Except this trend continued and snowballed down a big hill. Brennan would come home sad from his day, tell me stories of things going on and it just needed to change. Luckily, the director of the school already saw these trends happening and put some things in place to help her out. In the end, the teacher determined that it wasn't the place for her and was reassigned to a new room at the school. Ms. LeMay started last week - and I think she's doing great. She seems calm, cool and collected when I arrive in the afternoon and she always has a smile on her face. She greets Brennan in the morning and says goodbye when he leaves. Something Brennan needs for his "personality" to grow. He can tend to be a bit on the shy side and hopefully this year will allow him to grow up in that department. Whew!

We did manage to go to Six Flags last Saturday - the weather was great and the boys got to ride quite a few things. I think I managed to only get one picture of the boys on that stupid little airplane ride that I think is the original from when the park opened 40 something years ago.

I'm in the midst of planning the boys' birthday party. Halloween is our theme this year and it's going to be lots of fun. Brennan wants a haunted castle cake - so wish me luck on that one!

Soccer has started for the fall, so you will see us Saturday mornings on the soccer fields until November. Brennan seems excited about it and he is 1 of the oldest kids on the team and has played before so he has some experience. Bryan is wanting to kill me that I didn't want him to coach but I just wanted us to do something that we weren't totally responsible for and we could just enjoy going to.

Being the end of the month, before getting paychecks and all that entails we are using up ALL leftover food in the house. I've been making the most disgusting meals (except for Tuesday -spaghetti dinner) to try and clean out the freezer and pantry. I think I've been depressed over it and anxious to get rid of it all. I want to try and get in a OAMC (Once A Month Cooking - just google it if you want more info) routine where I can make a bunch of meals ahead of time and freeze them and not be so stressed in the evenings to come up with something creative. There would be less grocery shopping done on our precious weekends too. BUT, I have to make room for the new by cleaning out the old. Boxes of Tuna Helper (barf), Hamburger Helper (double barf), unidentified frozen things, and random packages of rice a roni or canned vegetables. Pickings are getting slim and those packages of frozen bagels are finally being eaten. Now, I just need to get organized with my coupon shopping and make my meal plan and get crackin' on it.

I'm looking forward to October with all of it's fun activities....Mainstay Farm, After Dark in the Park, Fright Fest, Birthday Party, Pumpkin Patch and Trunk or Treat. Thank God Friday is almost here!

First Day of School

Okay, okay,...so I'm a little behind on the blog update. Or maybe I just didn't want to admit that it could be true. Brennan started Kindergarten last week! I just can't believe where all the time has gone. He is still going to private school this year... and hopefully things will go well. He comes home very tired so I know he stays busy all day.

And Evan started the school year in the Early Preschool Room. I think he's the littlest in his class - but he sure does pack in the energy. The teacher's always say "he's so busy!" And we all know what that is code for!

So here it is...the 1st day of school pic!

God works in mysterious ways

Life has been moving fast and slow all at the same time. How quickly a family make up can change.

A year ago discussion was begun with my extended family over plans for a family reunion. See, most of my family lives in Michigan and Wisconsin and a dear cousin in Florida. It always seems to happen that WE travel to the North since there are fewer of us than of them. Going on any trip is expensive so the thought was to try and create a vacation destination so everyone gets to go someplace new. Research was begun on many different spots in the US. My parents even took a mini-vacation to the Lake of the Ozarks to get some resort group pricing options. A place was picked, a contract was about to be signed, life started happening. From this point several family members had to back out due to unknown factors such as jobs, expenses, what have you. So, it was decided that the reunion in Lake of the Ozarks would not happen...contract cancelled. It was disappointing. I was so looking forward to seeing everyone.

Then this past spring, I really felt like I had to go to Michigan and see family. I made the decision to go - driving across the country. My mother decided that she'd go with me to help with the boys and get some family time in while she was there. While we were there the family received some devastating news. My Uncle Mike had bladder cancer. He was in pain while we were there from a recent surgery. But he came to all the family gathering events so that he could be with us. He laughed, made jokes, stood in family pictures. As we were leaving there was still many unknowns that further testing would reveal. But we felt that our goodbye was our last.

Also, while we were there we had noticed that Ralph (Grandpa) didn't seem to be himself. He seemed more fatigued, not as enthusiastic, less talkative and his color didn't look good. When we got back to Texas we expressed this concern to Grandma - and she had noticed these things too. After a doctor's appointment and some blood work it was determined that he had a form of leukemia..."treatable" according to the doctor.

Mike had learned that the cancer had not spread...good news. But his only treatment option was chemotherapy. Before that can begin an appointment with a cardiologist needs to be made. See, Mike was a lifelong smoker. He knew the risks this habit could bring to him...and was realizing it was catching up to him. He had a horrible night that night...and passed away from a heart attack the next morning. Gone, two weeks after being diagnosed. His prayers, most likely, being answered.

We flew to Michigan for his memorial service two weeks later. It was beautiful...so many people kept coming and coming. I was asked to play the keyboard and lead the group in two hymns. I didn't know where I would find the courage to do it. But I did. Mike helped me through, he knew I needed someone to sit on the bench next to me.

While we were there, we were able to visit with family again and see how Ralph was doing. We had learned through phone conversations and discussions that he wasn't doing well...confused, not eating, not drinking, trouble walking, beginning to take a crazy amount of medications including chemo pills and thalidamide...all to bring the white blood cell count down. He did recognize us...for brief moments but we knew he was not himself. Grandma was caring for him at home....it was a full time job and he could not be left alone. When we saw him and his condition...we knew he was in the final stages of life. Grandma had done all she could but she needed help and we were there to do it. In a matter of 2 days...we had got him transported to the doctor's office. The doctor helped us decide that hospice was the best choice for Ralph's end of life treatment. Grandma agreed....the family agreed. It was painful to experience such sorrow over Mike and within hours be experiencing such sadness for Ralph. He was moved to the hospital where we knew he would not leave. We had to leave for Texas the next day - with heavy hearts and concern for the others. Again, it was our final goodbye. Ralph died peacefully the next day - surrounded by family and loved ones.

It was painfully clear why the family reunion at Lake of the Ozarks was not meant to be. It was obviously clear why I felt the need to go to Michigan this summer and be with family...not knowing that 2 of those dear family members would soon be leaving us. It was sorrowfully clear why Mike's service was 2 weeks after his death so that we could be there to celebrate his life and care for Ralph's ending of life.

I could not be there for Ralph's service this weekend. I was sad to not be with family. I wanted to be there to hold my Grandma's hand as she said goodbye to her husband only 2 weeks after saying goodbye to her son. But see, other life events have been happening around me. And I needed Ralph here with me. I prefer to not go into too many details here on my blog...but transitioning from a contract to a salary employee has not been easy. A lot of unknowns, a lot of waiting, a lot of putting your faith in others to carry through. It has been an emotional roller coaster from disappointing to elated with joy. I knew Ralph had his hand on my shoulder as I was offered the job at more than the salary I was expecting. We can do things for ourselves and our guardian angels can help us along.

God does work in mysterious ways.

Cake Wrecks

You have to check out this blog. Lindsey sent this over to me and I was on the phone with her crying and laughing over it. If you think I charge too much for my cakes...think again. People actually paid money for these cakes. And make sure to read her commentary - funny stuff.

Cake Pricing

A few posts back I asked for your opinions on what you would pay for a cake. Well, folks, here's the price that I was paid for making this cake:

$1.75 x 60 servings = $105.00

20% for fondant = $21.00

Grand Total = $126.00

Yes, she wrote me a check for $126.00!!!! Well, if you called any bakery and asked them to do a stacked cake for 60 people with fondant and customized to match an invitiation they would probably charge anywhere from $2.50-$4.00 a serving. So, technically she did get a steal of a deal. And once I deducted my cost for the ingredients and supplies, I actually made around $90. I'm guessing it cost probably $40 just to buy all the stuff. So, there you have it. Maybe I should start my own business!

Jennifer Needs

Okay, I saw this over at my friend, Elaine's blog.....I thought it was so silly and I'm adding it here.

You go to Google and type in your name and then the word "needs" and the first 10 appropriate things that come up are what you list in your post. (my commentary is in parenthesis)

1. Jennifer needs to be in a mental health facitily right now (gosh, that might be true).

2. Jennifer needs a smack daddy. (okay, I honestly don't know what a smack daddy is and I'm not sure I need one of those)

3. Jennifer needs to give birth in the next week. (uh....no. I don't. Been there, done that!)

4. Jennifer needs a cane. (I think I've been walking just fine...but some days I do feel older than I should)

5. Jennifer needs your support (as always)

6. Jennifer needs a shave. (I think my hygiene is up to date...but you might think differently.)

7. Jennifer needs help! (isn't that the God's honest truth!)

8. Jennifer needs to lose some weight! (true, so true)

9. Jennifer needs your votes....(for what, I'm not sure...but I could always use your vote)

10. Jennifer needs 2 1/2 cups of sugar to make cookies for 15 people ( I do enjoy making cookies...but I think I have enough sugar if you want some)


Now, how goofy was that!

In Loving Memory

A Loving Husband, Father,

Grandfather and Great-Grandfather

One of THOSE Days

Have you ever had one of THOSE days? Where it seems like nothing is going right? Where you are being pulled in many different directions? Where you just want to go back to bed the instant you got up?

One of THOSE days where if you hear the children yell, punch, tackle, push, wrestle, grab something from, or scream in retaliation one more time today you think you're going to explode.

One of THOSE days where all it seems like you do is yell the words: No, stop that, what did I say, you're not listening to me, etc.

One of THOSE days that you are spinning your wheels. Emptying the dishwasher 2x, cleaning the plathora of toys up (again), or cleaning the floor only to have a giant glass of milk spilled on it.

One of THOSE days where friends call you because they want to talk or need your help but it's hard to concentrate on what they're saying because of the chaos inside my house and inside my head. But you desperately need the adult attention.

One of THOSE days where your husband is hurting or in pain and there is nothing you can do to help. And one of those days you want him better so he can help you....

One of THOSE days where you are stressed about starting another school year at work, uncertain about the future, nervous about the changes, anxious to have it taken care of.

One of THOSE days where you have to pack a suitcase to attend a memorial service for a family member that was loved....looking forward to seeing family, but not the reason for seeing family and feeling guilty that you are looking forward to the few days away.

For me, it's been just one of THOSE days...

Randomness and more Randomness

I have a bunch of photos to share and opinions to get.

1. The boys were caught being cute outside this week. Yes, Evan does have on his pajamas with a pair of sandals...so what. I was just glad they were playing nicely together.
2. Brennan was learning how to cross his eyes this week....did he do it?3. Grandma and Gramps came over for dinner last week. We spotted a rainbow after a little shower here at the house. It was nice to see God smiling upon us. 4. Kitchen Update....Kitchen Update!!!! We finished all the painting! I still have some decorating to do (that means some shopping)! Here are only a few pictures - the plumber came yesterday to install the new sink and faucet. So, I'll post pictures of that part of the kitchen when I get it cleaned up.
5. Cake Order - I was asked to do a cake for a baby shower. This is the first "order" I've done for a cake for someone that wasn't a friend. She had come to another baby shower I did a cake for and now she was throwing a baby shower and asked if I could do the cake. She wanted it to go with the notecard she left me. She wasn't real specific in what she wanted besides fondant and dots and a vanilla cake to serve 60-65 people. Here's what I came up with....do you think it looks okay? I didn't stray too far from the original idea. HERE's the big question......what would you pay for a cake like that???? 12" round stacked with an 8" round, covered in fondant and designed to match your invitations. I charged per serving plus a percentage for fondant. Let me know what your thought are and then I'll share with you the price. 6. Waterpark - I took the kid's to the little city water/splash park the other day. Then I get home and see the TV reports about a little girl dying from a virus she got at a water park in our area. Geez. Okay, so it doesn't really prove we were at the waterpark since you can't see any water thingy and it's not the best picture of the boys. But it was all I managed to take a picture of that day.

So there you go. My randomness for the Friday the 1st of August.
Have a great weekend!
