HaPpY VAleNtINeS DaY...

One of my New Year's resolution is to become more like my sister....now that may sound weird but she can make anything...sew anything...and usually fix anything and cut anything with her teeth..so I am trying to become more like the homemaker I want to be...I wanted to make our valentine's this year but couldn't decide what to make..I got this idea from another blog to make suckers...I knew that my sister (of course) had made them before and had all the molds..so we got together and made about four batches...they are really easy to make but could cost alot if you didn't have all the molds and supplies....we had a tough time finding the flavoring but I found it at Robert's...so those of you that are our friends be looking for a Valentine sucker door bell ditched on your front porch!!!

Playing in the SNoW...

Molly was strapped to mom's and we watched dad and the dog's play in the snow...I was blindly taking most of these pictures and surprisingly they worked out really well...being the one behind the camera you don't get a lot of pictures of you taken but who really wants to see me...? By the end she was cold..tired..and hungry...I got her inside and I couldn't even get her into dry clothes before she was asleep...it is so fun to have a little mini me to play with...I bought the skull cap at a little boutique..it cost dad $20 but it was have to have!!! The skull jacket is part of her Valentine's present but I just couldn't wait...nothing is more satisfying than being the mother of Molly Ann and the wife of my big water buffalo...

Can you BEliEve this!!

Can you believe all this snow!! We had so much fun this morning..the whole family packed up and went outside to play and watch dad snow blow the driveway...Cooter doesn't really like the snow..(why would you if your weiner got wet everytime you walked outside)..we would let him out more with Sage but Cooter sees the front yard and RUNS...but we figured he wouldn't be able to run away today..as soon as we opened up the door he ran back in the house...it was to cold for him...so Bart coaxed him outside and we through him into the snow...who knew a weiner dog could fly??

Little Mommy

We were at Target today and my mom and I got seperated...she had Molly and as I was trying to find them I could hear Molly talking super loud...as I came upon them I saw that she was sitting in the basket talking to this little baby....as I walked up to them and picked the baby up she looked at my mom with reassurance that the baby wasn't scary and when it was ok..she started touching it and talking to it again..I gave the baby a kiss and right after Molly leaned over and gave the baby a million open mouth kisses!!! How could I not buy it...so here she is playing with our Little Mommy doll....so cute!!!

MoLly AnN

The other night Bart went in and checked on Molly who was sleeping on our bed and she looked as though she was dead...nope..just really pooped and so comfortable..we got our second haircut today...were just sucking our thumb waiting to get our haircuts...she is so pretty!!

I'm tagging Tasha, Kiersten and Carlie...

No nigh nigh anymore...

Sense Molly has been sick coughing and with a stuffy nose she really hasn't had an appetite...which the doctor said she might not want to eat but as long as she is getting some fluid and pee diapers we should be ok...but now that she is feeling better it seems as though she has lost interest in nursing..ok..we'll she won't take formula so what am I going to do? We'll the doctor suggested that we try soy formula and see if she would drink that...so for the first little bit I would do half boobie milk and half formula and she took right to it and then slowly took out the boobie...now it seems that's the only thing she wants. The last couple of nights she has gone to bed nursing but last night she would not go to bed (mostly because dad was home) but as soon as I gave her a bottle she drank the whole thing and went to bed....sad..my Molly Ann does not need her mommas anymore! In a way I feel guilty like I have not fulfilled my motherly duties..but maybe I feel guilty because partly I am relieved that were done?? I don't know but what ever or how ever Molly will eat..I'll take it!! Feeling guilty I have been researching breast feeding on the Internet and came upon a blog of nursing mothers...we'll there were such topics as weaning a 12 month old..weaning a 24 month old..and then something that caught my eye...it was so disturbing...weaning a 5 year old..yes ladies and gentlemen I typed it a FIVE year old!! are you kidding me!! I am the first to try and live by "to each their own" but you have to be KIDDING me!! There were woman on there talking about how you should not be embarrassed and how most women breast feed that long...reading that article made me puke in my mouth a little...I mean come on..if you want your child to reap the benefits of breast milk that long can't you at least pump and give it to them in a cup..cause yeah they should be drinking out of a CUP!! One ladies advice to another on how to wean their 5 year old was to tell that child that "mommy's numb numbs are closed for business..you can massage them while you go to sleep but no more!" WHAT!! Put this little story in your back pocket and think about it.....I just have to remember "to each their own!"........
