Easter!!!















Well today is Easter and we had a wonderful Sunday. First we went to church and got to see the kiddos all cute and adorable. After church we ran home to get our stuff and went to my grandma's for a wonderful Easter lunch. The kids really had fun hunting their eggs and spending time with grandma Suzan. After all that food we definitely needed a nap so we ran home and rested. Now it is the evening and the kids are enjoying their Easter spoils. I am definitely going to have to work out hard this week to make up for today, but hey that is holiday! Also yesterday had his first soccer practice. It was so awesome seeing him kick and do the soccer drills. He definitely has promise!! I am so excited to see him play his first game. Well...time for the kids' dinner. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! He is risen as he said!

Interesting St Patty's Day









Well we definitely had an interesting day today. All started well....the kiddos wore their green and were too cute!! We went to our last day of bible study and had a great morning. We took our nap and then had a afternoon of getting ready for work. So I was at work when I got a call from Jeff a little before 8pm. Apparently Jackson hit Brooklyn with his gun and she fell and hit her face on his entertainment center. So I told him to come up to the hospital if he thought she might need stitches. They came up and poor Brooklyn looked pitiful. Her nostrils were leaking blood and there was a little gash above her lip. A pediatrician was on our floor and checked her out. He said she didnt need stitches, but she needed some dermabond to close the gash....so to the ER we went. Finally we got her taken care of and I went back to work for the night. Poor thing looked so swolled and terrible the next morning that I had her stay home.....so no sleep for mommy. Then I went and picked up Jackson and then went to Jonah's 4 month checkup. He still has a double ear infection so we are getting another 10 days of antibiotics...and he got shots. Not looking forward to tonight. Hope I get some sleep! Hope everyone had a wonderful St Patty's Day. We didnt get the luck of the Irish this year!

SORRY!!!













Hey!
Well, I have been pretty awful this month. I cant believe that I havent written in over a month. I am ready to get a laptop so it would be easier to get on the computer. Being confined to one place with 2 toddlers and an infant is not the easiest. I will work harder to keep this blog updated! Well Jonah is now a little over 4 months old. I cant believe it! He is just getting so big. Yesterday he rolled over for the first time and he is getting so vocal. I actually have to tell him to be quiet sometimes. We are starting to work with him on sleeping in his own bed and going to sleep on his own. He has been sleeping with us for awhile because he has been sick. We had him on antibiotics for a double ear infection and some albuterol for wheezing and congestion. Last night he went to bed with very little help and only woke up once. I hope it continues that way. Jackson is getting more and more childlike and less and less toddler-like. Jeff was just saying yesterday how he is getting so big and understanding so much more. Brooklyn is definitely getting that 2 yr old mentality. My little princess has been a little diva at times, but still so sweet. (maybe I am a push over for my little girl) Jeff and I are well. We are working hard on our weight loss goals and are getting there. I only have 7 pounds left and the saying "the last 10 pounds are the hardest" is ringing true. The scale is not wanting to budge! Well...have a bunch to do around the house and need to play with the kiddos. I will update soon!

Sorry for not posting in awhile!







Hey!
I know it has been awhile and I am sorry I havent posted. We had Jackson's birthday and then my birthday and it has just been crazy. Plus I have been having ear pain and problems and trying to deal with that. Well things have been good here. Jackson is doing so much each day. We are learning to recognize our numbers even though we have been counting them forever. He does pretty well except for the number 5. He now can buckle his seat belt all by himself which saves me from climbing all the way in the back of the van (very nice!) Brooklyn is just my sweet little princess...getting cuter every day. Jonah is growing up way too fast. He now uses his exersaucer and high chair and we have moved up in car seats! We dont use the infant carrier. In the next week we are going to start some cereal and he will be 4 months old in a little over 2 weeks! I cant believe it! Jeff and I have been doing awesome with our weight loss goals. As of today I have lost 11 pounds and Jeff has lost a whopping 21 pounds!! I am so proud of him. Well, time for breakfast! I hope all of you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Jackson is turning 4!!









Well....I feel like crying. My baby boy is turning 4!! Saturday we had his birthday party with family and friends. The theme was Little Einsteins and he had so much fun. I am so grateful for family and friends making it a special birthday for him. I just cant believe he is already 4 (well tomorrow) It seems like yesterday he was born. People arent kidding when they say time flies. Tomorrow we are going to lunch with Jeff and then dinner with family. Gotta spoil my boy. Well I know this is short, but I have to pick the kids up from school. Will post some more soon!

Man...it is cold!













Well, we have had some terribly cold weather lately and that is making us a little stir crazy in the Clupny house. We finally got out on Saturday to take the kids to the Fayetteville mall and out to dinner. Jeff and I are losing weight for contests at work (and to get healthy) and so far we are doing really well. Hopefully we will be much lighter before summer. The kids are doing well. Jackson is getting a little too old for his britches and Brooklyn is miss independent. Jonah is doing really well, although he doesnt like to be away from Mommy and doesnt want a bottle. I am a little worried about when I go back to work. The kids started back to school today and I have gotten a lot done around the house. Well, need to get a few more things done before I feed Jonah and we go get Jackson and Brooklyn!

Happy 2010!

Well,
I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve and I am wishing you all a great New Year. Our New Year's Eve didnt go as planned. I had to take Brooklyn to the doctor. She had a 104 temp and turns out it was strep. So we pretty much dealt with a poor whiney toddler (who could blame her though). I am hoping that we have a healthier 2010. I cant believe Jonah is two months old already. I have to go back to work in only 16 days (boo hoo). Now I am just focusing on being with the kids and getting ready for Jackson's birthday party. He is almost 4!! Where did the time go? Well, the kiddos want to play and Jonah is in my arms.....making it hard to type. Hope everyone again has a wonderful 2010!!
