A few video's again I found.
.1Jonas is very much crawling just like Noah did(he never carwled on hands and knees).
2. A video of Noah's birthday, I didn't know we had it.(there might be a reason I do most of the taping haha love you darling), This is what happen when you walk in to the room with balloons and give the to Noah. There were three but we didn't get to see that part. haha

Bits and Pieces
I haven't really written in a while and well there are many reason why. So I decided to cut and paste some of my updates that never got finish, to make a blog. So I'll just jibber jabber and let it come out how it comes out. I can't remember all the dates so I'll just post in sections.
-Right now I just want to hold on to my boys and hold them tight so that they know I love them very very much. For the last couple of months things are just all over the place and as soon as I think things will slow down and we can get back into our own routine something shakes things up. I am truly exhausted, I know the boys are...I think we all are, is all I have to say. Now not all the shake up are/were bad some were really fun but however in the end we are all worn thin. Yup we were because now we are all sick.
-Tom I think is done all his big conferences now, he'll still have his small ones but they are normally just evening things and that not bad, I'll still get to see him. I have to say it wasn't too bad when Tom was gone, we just stuck to our routine and did pretty good. I didn't sleep well the nights he was in the city though but that is my fault for an having an over active imagination. I put the stroller folded up in front of the door, knowing it wouldn't stop someone but that it would make noise when it fell over and hope it would scare them a way. hahaha. Anyhow we made it, you just have to take one day at a time.
-This week was suppose to be easy but it didn't turn out that way. We were having the carpets cleaned on Monday, I booked it two weeks ago with the office here(they were paying for it since we signed another yrs lease with them). So that meant we had to move everything out and off the floors before 9am (sounds easy but add to kids in the mix, not so easy). I had to stay out of the house all day with two kids, till late afternoon when the floor would be almost dry. So we were really cranky b/c some didn't eat well or nap well. When we got home to make it an even better day, we came home to find out that they didn't show up!!!!!!! I was beyond mad especially b/c I asked tom to confirm with the office on Sunday(He did too). So I dragged both kids to the office and complained and told them to call Tom to sort it out. Well it meant that we had to move everything back in to the apartment for the night and than back out the next day so that the company could come in and clean the carpets,,,,well they showed up 30min early so that means they were here at 8:30am on Tuesday while we were still trying to get things back out and get the kids ready....arg....another day out of the house with very tired cranky kids. One of my very close friends offer her house to sit for a bit and let the kids play. Which turned out to be a life saver. When we got home the carpets were still pretty wet but not much we could do and than I notice they didn't do the spots under the couch which I was told they would, I was again mad but gave up b/c I just want to get thing back in order....I am just happy we didn't pay these ppl. I think next time I am going to ask tom to rent a carpet cleaner and I'll do it myself.(Since the carpet has been cleaned it has been puked on more than 3 times now, a bowl of rice cereal has been dump on it(missing the plastic splat mat I have under the kids chair and I think the even has been a kick over beverage....isn't that the way LOL)
-I am not sure how I feel, a bit happy and a bit sad I guess b/c time seem to be flying a long too fast. Don't get me wrong I love the fact that I get to stay home with the kids and seeing them grow but why do they have to do it so fast. I don't think I would handle being a working mom so well b/c I don't even want to think about not seeing all I get to see and share by staying home with them(even the bad cranky times). For me working would make it go even so much more faster. Saying that, Jonas is 6 months old today how did that happen I don't know. He had his first bit of cereal too which I think he like but might hold off some and not force it b/c he hasn't gotten the swallowing part down(this is new for us b/c Noah had no problem at all) I don't mind at all though it save me from having to pump and mixing up his cereal...I hate pumping.(he got the hang of eating quick and was eating a lot one day but since than got a cold and now just want to nurse and I am fine with it.)
Noah's birthday party is this Sunday...again where is the time going, I do not have a two yr in my house do I??? haha. bitter sweet as well.(yup we got a 2yr)
-One of my close friends down here got horrible news yesterday that her brother committed suicide by jumping off the golden gate bridge, in San Francisco. It just made my whole body numb(best description I can write of how I felt). So I took her out to lunch after the boys music class to distract her. This is the second suicide that has affected some one I know. The other one just happen last week when one of my friends students(17yrs of age) walked in front of the train a week away from graduation high school and was suppose to go to NYU this fall. This news saddens me greatly and just make me want to hold my kids so tight so that they know I love them no matter what and no matter how many time outs we have, I will never stop.(Still trying to be there and help my friend out)
-Oh and we finally got another stroller...I tried not to and I got into 6 months without one and probably could have gone longer but we both decided that we should buy one where both boys can sit in it and have it help me out some. I really dislike the price of anything baby and kid related, ppl in that business are making a mother load of money is all I can say.(stroller is good for every day use. I dislike the fact that I can't run with it but oh well. I am trying to get back running at least two night a week at the gym....Thursday I ran 7km on an incline for 3.5 which was okay for not have been running like that since I was pregnant Noah but not great b/c it took km 45 mins to get there I use to beable to run 6 miles(9.66 km) in just under an hour, which was when I think I was a few months pregnant with Noah, so I have a lot of work to do.)
Okay I think that is some of the updates I wrote about. Not long now till we are home in Canada.

Noah's birthday party.
Well he had Noah's party last weekend and he had a great time with his two friends Wesley and Sier. They went swimming and than came back for pizza,cake and presents. We didn't get a lot of pictures of the day where we both had a boy in our hands but here are a few we did get.

Sunday, June 14, 2009
Well I am trying again to upload this video for all of you. I have been meaning to do it but Tom had the computer at the conferences and then he accidentally left the power cord at the conference(went back for it and it was gone) and the computer was dead. So we had to buy a new one and now we are back up and running. I have a few I'll try and post when I get a chance.

Missing my man
Me and the boys are doing well. You know the norm around here so I can't complain. But we are missing dad, the boys haven't seen tom since Sunday morning and I have seen tom for a short moment when he gets home(am either just getting into bed or he wakes me up when crawling into bed) and I feel a kiss on my forehead when he leaves in the morning. What can I say we like having him around a lot more than that. So I been tired and blah b/c well I just like having him around even though there is normally a tornado fallowing him(that part I don't miss but I haven't been able to separate the two in the10yrs we've been together so I miss him none the less). So i am really looking forward to the weekend and having him home.
Tonight I am going to clean up the place and I got the ingredients to make dairy free, wheat free and eggs free cup cakes for a friend of my that can't eat any of those ingredients b/c her son who she is breastfeed seem to be allergic to or has some intolerance to them, they aren't sure b/c for a while she couldn't eat a bunch of other stuff but can now. So tonight I am going to make a trial run of them, I am hoping they turn out. I have two recipes, one is just a yellow cake cupcake and the other is a frosted spiced cupcake, minus one of the spices b/c it's nutmeg(no nuts). All the reviews say they are great and tasty so i guess I am going to find out here tonight at least with one of them. I wanted to make a Red Velvet cupcake but she can't have chocolate either and I didn't know if she could eat carob so I am playing it safe and not going to try.
Well I have to get planning for Noah 2nd birthday. It's crazy, how is he 2 already!! Even crazier how is his brother 6month(in 9days). Time is going too too fast for me. We are just going to have two family over I think for a BBQ and cake nothing fancy for Noah's birthday, we might go to the pool here and BBQ depending on the weather and if there is a lot of ppl or not already there. But that is about it. I was going to make a fancy cake and I still might but than I like my smarties cake(picked some up in BC), banana cake with frosting and smarties, or change it to a carrot cake not sure we'll see and once again we'll cut the cake in half and let Noah destroy it. I don't need a bunch of cake left around to eat and I love the faces on the kids that get to eat and smash it etc. It is their day of all and be as messy as they want. As much as I am looking forward to it I am also sad too, it's so hard to hold on to them b/c they keep getting bigger. Most ppl say the first three months are hardest but i have always loved it and I have to say it is my most favorite.
And hopefully I'll have time to do some exercises. Can't wait for things to settle down a bit and I can really get back into exercising.
