Fun pics

The boys are always doing such cute stuff but I never seem to think to get pictures. Tonight Stinky was eating dinner and after each bite he would come over and tell his dad and I look I am bigger and flex his muscles. It was super cute and for once I thought to jump up and get my camera :) Got to love a crazy 2 year old..




So serious showing off his muscles

LOL love this one


Lil Budda is waving hi and bye all the time. He says hi pretty good and he is working on the bye. He gets SO excited if you just sit there and wave at him it is cute..I swear he says his brothers name but I am not sure if it is just baby babble but it sounds a lot like Tittan lol.

Waving hi



Eating dinner and SUPER excited about it



The boys are doing good. Other then the fact that they don't listen . They both are a handful and never seem to want to listen to me or their father. I am not sure if it is normal or not but it is really flustering!! Hoping they out grow that REAL quick other wise I am going to be full of grey hair real quick.
Budda is walking more and more. He has trouble still turning and keeping his balance sometimes but is doing really well. He runs along furniture when he is holding on and looks like a lil Frankenstein when he walks on is own


Walking Budda



Love how his lil bum sticks out as he walks
Stinky thinks it is funny how Budda walks and will try to pretend to be him. I am not sure if he is jealous of how excited we get for Budda when he walks and that is why he does it or if he is just playing but it is fun.

Also my best friend for Oregon came down this week and spent 3 days with us. She has 2 lil girls one is 4 the other is 2 Stinky was OBSESSED with them!!!He claimed the 2 year old with in seconds that she was his "gurlfriend" and he told Bill and I we were NOT to look at her. Anytime we did he would hit us. At night we just laied down a blanket and let the kids lay down and watch tv. WELL not sure if the lil girl will EVER want to come back to our house or not. Stinky was trying to cuddle her. Which insisted of laying on top of her and kissing her...putting his arm around her and kissing her.....laying his head on her tummy and kissing her....or just laying next to her kissing her...I felt bad for Tara. She is shy unlike Stinky and kept crying and telling him "Just go sleep" We eventually had to make Stinky go to his room cuz he would not stop KISSING the poor lil girl. We later went to the store to get stuff for dinner. Usually Stinky will ride in the cart no problem..Well since he seen my friends 4 year old was able to walk he threw a fit saying he wanted to walk also.. Which he did...But he made Layna hold his hand the ENTIRE time we were in the store..It was cute but she walked to fast for him so he had to basically run to keep up and to make it cuter everyone we passed he had to tell him she was his gurlfriend :) oh can't wait till he is a teenager!! Going to be a grandma before I know it!! lol jk

This is just a big bitch fest ;)

Stinky recently went in for major dental work on the 31 of January. A total of 3800 for dental work..ON HIS BABY TEETH!!! I feel like a bad mom that so much has went wrong with his teeth but I PROMISE I do brush his teeth!! Even after spending so much on his dental work last week he woke up Screaming!!(And that is NOT like him at all) and wanting me to kiss his ear and neck. While doing so I noticed that his right side of his face was swollen like crazy. I was just getting ready to walk out the door for work so I called in. I called the dentist 1st to see what they thought I should do. I didn't think it would be tooth related cuz like I said we just spent a crap load of money to fix his teeth. But his dentist told me to bring him in just so he could take a look and make sure none of the crowns have broken off. When we got there the dr looked around and came to the conclusion that one of his teeth has become abscess.!! So now he has to go in on the 4 of April to have his tooth pulled!!!!! I get tears just thinking about it! he is only 2 for crying out loud and he is not having good luck with his teeth! The dentist said he has a enamel deficiency it isn't anything we did just he has weak enamel and then when he went through his grinding teeth kick it just destroyed his lil teeth.
I am so worried how his adult teeth will come in!! This all stinks more cuz we still don't have insurance for the boys. The state says we make just a lil too much for the medical card you pay for..Like 300 to much. They don't take into account that Bill has to pay almost that into child support.. I have been doing research about health insurance and even talked to someone that sells insurance to individuals. Yes you can get a low payment..But is is a outrageous deducible and the more you use the insurance at the end of the year they will raise the payment on you!! and it don't include dental!! (which obviously I need) I am getting insurance through my work but they don't have open enrollment isn't until June 1!! It will cost us about 160 a month but I think it will be worth it in the long run.
I love being a mom but sometimes it is so stressful figuring everything out! All these people at my work talk about how it is so easy having kids..They don't take into account that they have medical card...food stamps...child care....half of my check goes to day care alone...stupid people don't realize how much out of pocket it cost when you don't get assistant!!!
WELL That is my rant..Guess I needed to get it off my chest lol. And since only 3 people read this you all get to Liston to me vent :)
Will let you know how it goes on the 4 hoping he don't have to much pain!!!!!!!

Family pictures...Easier said then done lol

I feel like a bad mom...lol I realized we only had one family picture together...And it was when Budda was 2 weeks old!!I want to do more..It just got busy hear and short on money and all that so it never happened..My mom and dad where here last weekend and she took some for us...It was not that fun of a task..One Bill HATES his picture being taken so it was like asking him to get his prostate examined.. Two Stinky was more excited to be outside so he didn't want to sit still or smile for the camera or take his gosh darn hood off in his pictures.. Three Budda was sleepy and not very impressed with having to pose for the camera.. My mom got some good ones though



My sweet baby

I LOVE THIS ONE HOOD AND ALL SO HANDSOME!!!


My lil Budda 9 months old




My beautiful boys..Budda don't look happy but I love this one

The family... We are all a lil weird looking but it is so us I love it..(Look at Stinky's rain boots...They are on the wrong feet lol he insist on dressing him self lately)
Lil Stinky Love this one of him :)
Now for the funny ones :)




HAHA Stinky threw leafs and this was the result..lol Notice the nose LOL

Love how they both have the same look on their face
Poor Budda was miserable Stinky was loving this

I really like this one even though Budda looks scared and Stinky looks evil lol

So much fun haha
This was a fun experience hoping to get some more pictures done when it is nice outside..It was tyring to rain on us so we were in a hurry to get done. But think we got some good ones and some awesome funny ones :)

Stinky has a "Gurl frien"

Stinky and Budda go to our neighbor's house when their Dad and I have to work... We have had our share of trouble getting a good stable babysitter..AT LAST I think we found a awesome lady and I hope she don't plan on quitting on us!! She is a stay at home mom..She has 4 kids and the youngest is only 3 months older then Stinky. It is so nice having a friend for him to play with!!I always feel bad cuz the only kids he is around is at least 6 year or more older then him! Him and "Lilferd" (a nickname her mom and dad calls her........no clue why lol) are double trouble!! It makes me feel better cuz I now know that Stinky isn't the only hyper crazy 2 year old in the world lol.

Lilferd and Stinky one day I guess TORE a door off its hinges!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were acting up and the babysitter put them in time out in the room and shut the door and told them to stay til she let them out....Well I guess they didn't like that cuz the next thing the babysitter heard was a cracking sound. She said both the kids had ran at the door and hit it so hard that it tore the hinges off!!!!! I felt bad but she thought it was funny.. Also I couldn't figure out why Stinky's underwear kept coming back wet!! I was getting upset thinking maybe he was having a shit load of accidents so I asked. I guess the kids want to take bath everyday... And since Lilferd and Stinky have different parts and Stinky kept wanting to know where Lilferd's "wiener wiener" was she decided it would be easier to make them wear underwear in the bath. lol

Stinky and his "gurl frien"

In other news Budda is now waving hi and bye and says both..It isn't real clear but it is cute. He has been trying to walk more..He took 4 steps yesterday trying to get Stinky's dinner..I swear he will climb a mountain trying to get food.For only being 9 months old this boy can eat like a champ!!Not looking forward to my food bill when he is a teenager!! His eyes look like they just might stay blue! Bill was hoping they would turn green like his but I think they might be blue like bill's dad and his sister..

This is all I can think of for now :) hope that is enough to hold you over till my next post!!

Bowling fun

This weekend my sister had bowling tournament. She is in a bowling league where they can earn scholarships for college. It is really fun to watch her and her friends. I have become friends with some of the bowling moms and really enjoy watching my sis and her friends play and visiting with their moms.


Her bowling team

This week Gorda got two scholarships.. Not a lot of money but every lil bit helps and add up and helps when it is time for her to go to college.. She got a few last year and this is the first time this year she has gotten some..But we still have a few more tournaments to go til the end of the season!

Showing of her awards
I am very proud of my sister!!For a ten year old she has been through a SHIT load of crap that I don't think any lil kid should go through!I am grateful she is as brave as she is and was willing to stand up for herself! She has been in foster care for two weeks now and is just blossoming and coming into her own! I am very grateful that our friends are such good people and opened their home up for my sister and her lil sister.. The world needs more decent people like them!!!

In other news Stinky found a pair of tights that my Grandma gave me...She had a hole box full of Navy blue tights that she had as part of her uniform for the Salvation Army and she gave them to me. :) Stinky opened a box up and put a pair on his head and insisted that he was a cowboy and I take his picture..


Got to love him lol such character

This weekend my mom and dad where here. I realized we haven't had any family pictures taken since Budda was 2 weeks old!!!!!!!!!!!! So I had my mom take some pictures for us when I get the cd from her will post some pics..It was a task to get a few good pics of the kids!!!!!!!! It also gave me a headache. When one would look at the camera the other one wouldn't or when one would smile the other kid would cry...ERG why can't my kids ever cooperate?!?!?! Once again I think it is their Dad's side of the families fault lol no offence Aunt Sauerkraut! :)

Don't be be jealous....

I love my Grandma don't get me wrong!! In no way am I making fun of her or talking bad about her....I go to visit my grandparents once a week to visit and let the boys ram sack their house.. Anytime I go there though my Grandma sends us home with a lot more then we went there with. She is a second hand store junky and she also works at a food bank..Which basically means we get a bunch of stuff that she didn't want..Or stuff she got that reminded her of us...I got this sweat shirt......She said she just had to get it because it reminded her of me and she could just see me in it...What do you think.


The green bows are bows that are sewed on the shirt!

One I don't usually wear bright colors I am "fluffy" and that just makes it more obvious how big I have gotten and I don't do frill.. lol But I love Grandma so I smile and tell her "Thank you I love it" lol :) I am such a good granddaughter!!

On another note..Our cat is retarded and got ran over a while ago..He broke his hip and the vet said it was suppose to take a few months to recover...Well as soon as he was able to walk he wanted outside again and he eventually broke free from him prison inside the house and whored around for a while and got hurt AGAIN! Since he is hurt we had to set up the cat box again for him til he heals... WELL Budda found the cat box...and decided to eat a "almond roca" and he was quit pissed when we started freaking out and scrapping out his mouth....After sanitizing his hands and his mouth we put him down...just for him to bee line back to where the cat box is and try to do it over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Lil poo eater!!!!!!

Cuz Aunt Sauerkraut is bored:)_

I always love reading my sister in laws blog.. I use to have one for when I was pregnant with Tristan and after he was born to keep people updated…And that didn’t last to long as my life just seemed to get busier and busier. But I am going to try this again for 3 reasons…1 I think it is a great way to keep people updated 2 I can always look back at what I have posted and refresh my memory of things that have happened and 3 I seen today on face book that “Sauerkraut” was bored and wanted someone to get a blog going and keep up on it!! Lol



My boys at their best :)



SO lets see what I can come up with to write about……Stinky is 2 (will be 3 in 4 months!!!!!) and Budda is just about 9 months. It is crazy how quick they are growing up. I love watching them play together and see how excited they get or pissed off they get as they do so.. Last night I actually cleared off our kitchen table and we all sat down to eat..(Usually we just eat in living room in front of the TV not something I am proud of but we do lol) The boys were sitting by each other and Stinky the hole time kept hugging Budda and trying to feed him and give him his sippy cup.. Any time Budda would take a bite Stinky would say “AW Tater bug you are SO cute” I know it sounds corny but it was cute…Guess you had to be there… Later at dinner Stinky went into a coughing fit. And since we showed we were worried about him he proceeded to make himself cough…….Until he THREW up ALL over the kitchen table… The joys of mother hood…

Stinky is talking more and more. I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing.. He likes to drive me crazy with always asking me “Mom what are you doing” I can be sitting on the couch watching TV and he still ask. I tell him what I am doing and 5 minutes later you hear “mom what are you doing” I always hear that when they get to asking the question “Why” Is worse…so hoping he don’t do that anytime soon. I am sure I will have a bunch of random weird stories about things Tristan says....SO might as well start here with one lol. The other night I was laying on the couch watching G Force with Bill and the boys...Stinky gets in my face and ask me what my name was..I told him it was mom...He then ask me if his name was Tittan (that is how it sounds when he says his name) I inform him yes that is your name...He looks at me for a few seconds and then ask..."Mom whats my wiener name?" not sure what to say I laugh...and ask him I don't know...What do you want to name it...He looks at me..Scratches his head and then answers..."MMMMMM my wiener name is Girl Wiener......." I think I am in trouble!!!! :)

Each night after we put Budda to bed Stinky has this thing were he gets in my face and “whispers” to me that there is a monster…It is his Dad. Lol not sure where this game came from but it is fun…Although we had to tell him he don’t kill the monster anymore. He use to hit his dad with toys or try to stab him with tooth brushes.. Now we tell him he has to tickle the monster to make him go away. And it is even better that Bill is VERY ticklish!!!! I have to admit that sometimes I hold him down for Stinky to tickle him lol..

Budda now has 6 teeth and he is learning how to bite!! He got my chin the other day and it HURT!!!!!!!! He took 7 steps without holding on to anything. He wasn’t happy about it but he did it!! He can basically run along the couch if he is holding on but still think he is scared to let go and take off….Which I am ok with! Not sure if I am ready to chase both of them yet! I have a feeling he is going to be taller then his brother at nine months he already stands up to Stinky’s shoulders! He isn’t quit talking yet. But is sounds like he says Dada at times.. He LOVES to be held. Which is nice but sucks when you have a crap load of stuff to do!! We also have to watch him cuz every chance he gets he is in the kitchen and trying to eat the dog or cat food. He has even figured out where the cubord is we keep the animal food in and he will get in there trying to get some!!! On the positive side of that though I guess it is cheaper then people food!?!?!

Well this has taken me about three hours to do...So sorry if it is a lil scatter brain and is hard to understand.. :) Will write more about the fam with something fun happens that I feel like sharing:)
