Damien wanted his time in the spot light

When I was taking pics of Lance the other day...Damien wanted in on the action to! So, of course he got to get his picture taken too!! I can't believe how much he has grown and how "old" he looks! He is such a big helper and always wanting to help keep Lance in check...hehehe!! He is already showing me that he is a great big brother...never doubted it though!!It wasn't that cold out but he loves wearing hats with his coats!! And he is adorable in them...if you ask me...hehehe!!

Guess it runs in the family...

Young and old...they love this machine!! When Damien gets old enough and can ride his bike with no training wheels...he will be getting his own minature version...lol!! But that is still just being talked about. We shall see...but for the time being...he loves getting on Daddy's and "riding!"

9 months old

Yup that is right...9 months have come and gone!! Lance is on the go and doing so much that sometimes I wish he was still just laying around...lol!! He is now weighing in at 20lbs and 14oz and he is 28.25 inches long. He is growing like a weed! He has one tooth and 2 more poking their way through!! He is crawling, sitting up, pulling up on things and cruising the furniture and anything else he can shimmy along!! He is saying ma ma ma, ba ba ba, and da da da! He has the appetite of a pig!! He will come charging towards you if he sees that you are eating some...and he will pull up on you and demand that you give him some...lol!!!

He is the most laid back baby I have ever encountered!! He does has his moments but they are so few and far in between that you don't even notice is "bad" behavior!!

Fast Forward...

My babies!!

Many moons has passed since I last updated this blog!! And so many things have happened since then. If I go by my last post....Lance is now one week from being 9 months old!! Yup, it has been that long. Damien also started going back to school...the Mother's Day Out program at GLS. He loves it and doesn't seem to having any problems after the summer break! He did tell me the other day that he didn't want to go to school and his reasoning was that the school was eaten by bugs. I think he has a fascination with bugs at the moment!! Skylar has went back to her dads...she has been gone since mid-August. She challenged me in ways that I didn't think she was capable...but we all survived!! Damien can't wait for her to come back and neither can I. She just turned 9 last month in September...can't believe how much time has escaped us. Before I know it...she will be graduating HS. Lets hope that it goes by slowly from here on out!!

As for Barry and I, we are happy to be under the same roof...most days...lol!! He is busy with his job. Most days he is home by 6...sucks but manageable. I am officially a college student...again!! I forgot how much I love going to class. The only sucky part is that they want to measure how much you are learning and I am realizing the older I get the harder the tests seems. Maybe it doesn't come so easy to me anymore...I have a bit more distractions than I did a few years ago!!


What else....?? We added a new family member. Her name is Lexi and she is an American Bulldog, growing like a weed!! Our other 2 have had some issues with her but are slowly and I mean slowly warming up to her. She has been a challenge but a welcoming one.


I hope this will suffice every ones needs for the moment. I will start posting more often...I hope!! And here are some pics to tide you over...

This was taken close to the last day Skylar was here.

Damien being himself...so cute

This is my most favorite pic of Lance to date!!

Lance is now 6 months

Ok...ok...ok...so he has been for the last 2 days...lol!! And I have been slacking!!

He had his 6mo baby well appt today and he did great. No shots because I got him sick!! So, we will have to do that at a later date!!

His stats are

Height 26 3/4 inches

Weight 18 lbs

50 % for both...woo whoo!!

He is rolling all over the place. Sitting unsupported until he gets distracted...lol! He is getting on all fours and trying to crawl. His legs are moving but not his arms! Any day now...is what I keep thinking!! He is talking baby talk...can make out some ba, ma and da sounds!! He likes to skrieh...new for me. And he loves to eat...he is a hoss!!

I can't believe that 6 months has come already...I know that time flies but this is unreal to me! Next thing I know it...he will be in school!!

Barry had another one...

all of us...the best I could get!!

Cheesing!!

he loves it...yea!!

Birthday that is!! We had a great time just hanging around the house as a family! I even made him a cake. They all loved it and I had fun decorating it! I will never be a cake decorator but this will do...

Happy Birthday Barry!!

the BIG 3-0

Has come and gone for me. And I don't feel that change or any of that other stuff that I thought would come over me! I am proud to hold my head up and say that I am thirty!! Hell I am still get carded...lol!!

For the big day...we had all my closest friends over and they helped celebrate with my by eating some wings that Barry slaved over all the day and night!! And we even had a cake...Barry was the one who put the lovely words on there.....No More 20's...OLD ASS!! Love it..lol!!

I meant to take pictures but unfortunately...I was comsuming some beverages that were a bit stronger than normal...lol!! Curtousy of the Lees...

It was the best day of my life and one of the best birthdays that I have had in a long while!! So, thanks to everyone that was able to make it...it really meant alot to me!!
