Josh is 30!

We celebrated Josh's 30th birthday this weekend. I arranged a party for him and about 40 people came, including Josh's parents. Josh had been dying to get an ipod but I convinced him that everyone thought it was a big joke to tease him about being the last person to get one-even his parents each have one! John and Joyce gave Josh his gift, which was a framed picture of the two of them. Then they gave him his real gift-an ipod. As you can see from the picture, Josh is going to have to fight Jayden to get to use it! Maybe Jayden needs one now!
Jacob is growing so fast! He will be one month old this week and I can't believe how fast time flies, especially when you are sleep deprived! We gave him a bottle for the first time yesterday and he did well but was still hungry after eating so I still had to feed him!
I came down with a cold on Saturday and stayed home all day yesterday resting and trying to get over it without taking medication. I finally gave in a took a child's dose of a childrens cold medication last night and it helped. Hopefully Jacob and Jayden will not get sick. I think that I have already given my bug to Josh.

Our weekend

We had a great weekend. Oma Lisa came down for a visit and Jayden was so excited to see her. And Jacob got to meet his 'omi". We had a nice visit-it was great to spend time with her. We are planning to go up to St. Louis in June.

Yesterday was church and of course mother's day. We went out to eat and then Josh let me lay in bed and watch a movie with Patrick Dempsey in it! That is a good husband. We also went to a graduation party at park and Jayden had a great time playing the dirt and going down the slide. He tripped on the curb at our house and got his first skinned knee. No bandaid though-we are terrified of them.

We are gearing up for Josh's 30th birthday party this weekend! He really wants me to tell him what he is getting for his birthday but I am keeping it a secret. I did give him one present-lawn service for the summer so that he will have more free time with the kids.

here is a picture of Oma Lisa and the boys and Jayden and his booboo.

Another crazy day...

We had another crazy day today. Jayden, Jacob and I are working to find our routine. We took a walk today-it is hard to push a stoller with a baby and toddler in it up a hill! Jayden is such a good big brother and is very patient with Jacob and I as we are figuring things out. I am so proud of him.

We had some scary news yesterday. My Aunt Diana was in a car accident yesterday and was air lifted to a hopital. Initially, we did not have much information and thought that she was going to be rushed into surgery. But she is a fighter! A little internal bleeding and a crushed pelvis, which will be a challenge to heal from. If you are reading this, please keep her in your prayers.

Happy Early Mothers Day to me!

Josh got me a laptop! I am so excited! I might actually be better about blogging and checking my email now since I won't have to go up to my office.
Yesterday was my first day with both boys on my own. Things went great. Today is a different story. Jayden is a pill and Jacob is gasy. Lovely! Jacob goes to the Dr. today for his two week check up. I am interested to see how much weight he has gained.
I am operating on about 6 hours total sleep in the past 48 hours. Yikes!!! I am hoping to get a good nap in this afternoon and do some catching up this weekend during nap time!
