February Review

It's been such a hectic year already that I barely have time to blog on a daily basis like I used to.


The boys have been keeping me busy and school has been somewhat of an adjustment for me. Kevin too has been working a lot and being "Mr. Mom" on Tuesdays and Thursdays while I'm at school. I think it's been great for him to get a taste of my medicine, being home w/the boys all day long. It's also been good for him to spend time with the boys. I think the boys have adjusted well to the new schedule too.


This month we celebrated Konnor's 3rd birthday in Fairfield, CA at Mama & Papa's house. We celebrated together with Massimo (my nephew) who turned ONE. Well, not officially because he is a leap year baby which mean he really won't be one for another...3 years? Weird.


Individually the boys have been growing and learning so much. We're still having some issues with Kameron, sleeping and weaning off the bottle. It was all so opposite with Konnor and it just shows how different they are in personalities. Konnor has completely mastered potty training since November. Kameron is interested "to see" when Konnor goes potty. He's since been wearing Pull Ups when we're at home. He's consistent on telling us when he's gone potty and needs to be changed, but I don't think he's ready to start the potty training process just YET.

I'm in my second month of school. It's been challenging, but fun. I've met some new people and have learned a lot in my three classes. ASL (American Sign Language) has been my favorite class. It's fun and interesting and challenging all at the same time.

Delayed blogs

I am so ashamed at how long it's been since I had last blogged. Believe me...the days have gone by too quickly, the boys are growing too fast and I just don't have enough time in my days to keep up.

I know a lot of people always ask me "how do you do it?"...between being MOM, a wife, a mommypreneur, a student and then all this fun stuff...I don't know how I do it sometimes either!?! As much as I like to document the days gone by, I get saddened when I realize that I had missed a part of the boys' life. I hope to keep this blog long enough for the boys to start reading. And if I can somehow save it all forever...that would be awesome. I want my boys to know that I have paid close attention to every little part of their growing up. I want them to know that I cherished every little step, every new word, all the details of their lives.

Ringing in the New Year with dear friends!

Christmas 2008

We had a quiet Christmas at our home with the kids. Kevin's parents came up for a few hours in the morning and left by noon. We opened presents and watched the kids enjoy opening gifts and playing with their new toys.

Kameron turns ONE!

Our trip to the Bay Area

Kameron's 1st plane ride. My first time traveling on the plane by myself with TWO kids.



Kevin had a business trip to Florida for a week, so we decided to go to my parents house in the Bay for the week. I was a bit nervous traveling with TWO kids, but it went pretty good. Konnor was pretty behaved (surprised!) and Kameron enjoyed every minute. He loved the plane ride.

I'm a big kid now!

My baby boy...Konnor is a BIG KID NOW! He's officially potty trained! YAY!!! What a relief for us. It was a great Thanksgiving gift to us all! He has been in pull ups since May 2008. He had showed us signs of being interested in potty training so I thought it would all come soon. Well, we had some relapses and some days when he did a great job. But on Thanksgiving morning he told me he didn't want to wear pull ups! I was so excited and shocked.

So I put on training underwear (instead of the training pull ups). We had one accident through the day...but that was it! He loved his "big boy" underwear. So I told him that if he did good, by the end of the week we'd go to Target to buy him some more "big boy" underwears. At his request, he wanted "Handy Manny" underwear.

The day went on and he did it!!! By the end of the week....it was over. NO MORE PULL UPS!!
