Foreclosure:(

Well, bad news this last Friday we received a letter that the house we are renting is being foreclosed. SO... we are going to have to move. It's a little vague when. We could be kicked out by the end of the month or in a few months. The owners have officially written to us and gave us our options, but we heard from the foreclosure people first(they seem to be more on top of it than the owners). Do we buy or rent? That is the question. And where? And When? Keep us in your prayers, as we have no clue about the path that we should take next.

Fun Learning with Froglegs!!!

Our neighbor has a mom who made Yo Gabba Gabba hats for Christmas. Froglegs has fun pretending to be Muno the red monster.

So, we took family pics by a neighbor, still trying to figure out how to enlarge them. But we found some acorn hats. This is our rendition of Unka Dan's Russian friend.


We both have a resolution to get in shape, Froglegs, and J helps. They is so cute!!! They are getting muscles!!!(that was Froglegs and J, Daddy already has some;))






So... One of the reasons it has been a long time since I have updated the blog is that... I have been potty training Froglegs. We started by doing a potty party. I was hoping faithfully that the party would make it easier for me and He would be potty trained. Hah!!Hah!!!!! It pees less in his pants but still haven't had pooping success any ideas?????? My mom found a book to make potty training fun. Its a Potty Party book with a doll.











Dancing on the table to Madegascar 2.








So we finally get all the toys picked up and Froglegs leaves out just one in on the kitchen floor and trips on it and bites his lip. It was a golf club. This is our pitty party.






Thanks to my sista's and Jen's pictures I have officially marked off starting in home preschool. Here is some of the fun. I found that doing the work sheets(StarFall website) of the letters and numbers on the toilet helps for multi tasking. Any know how we can stop Froglegs from pooping in his pants? :) I have the Learning chart on above the kitchen table too(they say flash cards are best while eating at the table. If you have a slow eater that is a great idea. We read and point to the words and since he has a problem speed dialing what he says we clap the alphabet now and count syllables. The apple and tomato experiment was which one or all will float? This tomato drowned and then I encouraged him to bob for his apple. He decided to just grab it in the end. I hope he doesn't cheat later in life;)!!! I also made a back pack of discovery tools. A magnifying glass(hopefully you can put a string in it for the neck), paint chips with a ring to keep them together(color classification),tape measure and string,net, tubberware or strawberry container, journal and a pen for writing down your findings. I have been doing this stuff for a while gathering tools for this moment and it is so fun!!! If you have or need ideas I love love love them.

J's Growing Like a Bean Stalk!!!

These are pictues of J growing up these past few months. The end is the most recent.


J is so amazing with his strength. He is standing almost all by himself.




J wakes mommy up in the morning by blowing an Ooooh in my face and talks and talks to me. Get up mommy its time to be in awe of the world and learn new stuff.



Frogleg's wanted to put a neck boppy on J's head. It was funny.














J loves sleeping with his stuffed animals and especially with mom. He hugs everything and so I left him on the bed and I didn't want him to be lonely so I gave him a pillow and he pulled it toward him nuzzled his nose and fell asleep. Again soooo cute!!!




J likes to play in his chair. He'll kick his feet so high and he bounces like crazy! Recently he found that a giraffe and a tiger are enjoying the swinging too. He stares at them as if they were fascinatingly going to start talking to him. It is cute.
