So I Don't Forgetthe Journey...: So... It's Been a While!

Hmmm... Where to start? Lets see, I finally have a working computer thanks to my wonderful, brilliant husband. Since my last post last Monday (man it seems so much longer than that), I have been without a computer. Lets just say that my very VERY useless (for lack of a better word) laptop finally called it quits on Tuesday of last week. The summer after my Freshman year in college I had saved up enough money to finally buy myself my own laptop, so I impulsively jumped on this "great" deal that I came across at Best Buy. No, I didn't consult with my husband (then boyfriend) so of course I have heard plenty of crap from him regarding my purchase of this "P.O.S" ever since. He has already basically rebuilt it once since it completely crashed on me already a couple months ago, but it was time for us to part ways! Luckily, my husband is a genius! :) Since he has had the "privilege" of working in the IT department at his dads work, he has really learned so much about these intelligent machines. So, since I was out of a computer, he was able to scrap together a bunch of parts that were going to be thrown out at the office, and parts from an old computer of his to put together, and basically build a computer for me from scratch. Brilliant, I know! So, lucky me (and now you too!), I can blog again! :)

Here is a shot of me patiently waiting for Ross to finish up.

Ok, So what have we been up to lately? So besides that fact that I have been picking my brother Ty up from strength and conditioning camp everyday Monday through Thursday since beginning of last week, I still have managed to stay pretty busy. One thing worth mentioning is we went to the Open House of the new Children's Museum in The Woodlands on Saturday. They were having free admission which is great, but always accompanying the word free is a lot of people. No big deal I guess, we just had to get over the fact there there were going to be tons of screaming kids running around everywhere. Remington seemed to have a great time learning, discovering, and playing with so many new things, and I must say, Ross was a trooper as well. He handled those crazy kids like a champ! The things we do for our kids...! So here are a few shots from the museum of our growin' boy.

Here he is playing in what looked like a pit of little bits of recycled tire.

He really (to my surprise) enjoyed working/spinning these gears.

Of course he enjoyed the train set.

He cooked us dinner too! :)

And of course Eden along for the ride, taking in everything along the way.

What else... well, Moma's been a lil sleepy the past few days. Eden for the past week or so has been waking up again every 2 to 3 hours to eat. She was doing so well for a while sleeping from about 8 or 9 in the evening until at least 3ish, sometimes 5, and even once until 7:30, but I guess that growth spurt is over, or she is teething, or who knows what. All I know is, Moma needs her sleep! A testament to my grogginess: tonight I cooked one of the easiest dinners. SOS, aka hamb meat with crm of mush soup atop some mashed potatoes. Very simple meal consisting of browning the hamburger meat, adding the soup, milk, salt, and pepper, as well as cutting up and boiling potatoes before adding the milk and butter and mashing. Well, I have made this many times, so I should have known that I needed to start the potatoes before browning the meat. Well, I browned all the meat before realizing I had not yet even washed or cut the potatoes. So, the meat was put on hold for a minute while I got the potatoes boiling. Well, then, I added the mush soup and milk before I drained all the grease out of the meat! YUK! O well, it was going to have to work. Then one minor thing that I never do: while stirring the mixture, I spilled a huge amount over the side of the pan. I never do that. I guess you could call it laziness, but I'm going to blame my lack of sleep. So overall, the mashed potatoes were FANTASTIC if I may say so myself, but they had to be to make up for the greasy meat mixture... :( We will live I guess. I must add that my rambling is probably due to that as well, so hopefully you (whoever you are, if there is a you at all) don't mind.

Now for a few pictures I have taken since my last post that I think you will enjoy! :)

My happy baby helping me clean up the kitchen.

And by helping I mean, not distracting me and letting me get it done while her brother was sleeping! :) She loves holding onto, and chewing on that little blanket thing!

But obviously she was distracting me since I stopped to take her picture! :) Can you blame me?

Her brother woke up as I was finishing. Crazy boy! :)

Did I mention I was tired?... I have been working on the post for over an hour and I would be finished already if blogger didn't take so dang long to upload a pic. Almost done!

Here are a couple randoms of me and my babies!
