29

Monday was Breanne's 29th birthday. We went out to dinner at Mexicali to celebrate!

When you get pregnant, even YOUR OWN birthday becomes about gifts for the baby!

Mike loves Kacey and Matt's baby Piper and thinks she is the cutest thing ever. He always has to hold her and play with her when we see her! She is adorable but . . .

I had a few margaritas (can you tell?) It turned out to be a BIG mistake. Mike's mom stayed with the kids while we went out to dinner. Keller had been running a fever on and off for a few days. An hour or so after we got home, Mike went to check on Keller and his fever was really high. We ended up in the E.R. from 11:00-3:30 that night and I was really regretting those margaritas! It was an exhausting miserable night!







I had my camera in my purse so I snapped a picture of sick baby boy. Mike held him the entire time and he is no tiny guy! He weighed in last week at 27.2 lbs! The E.R. was crawling with people and there was only one poor, poor doctor. Next time, we will be treating all fevers at home and having a drink only when all babies are well.

Da Bears

Halloween was really fun this year. We took the boys by my dad's house to show off their costumes then spent the evening bbqn at June and Seans. We hit the streets in their neighborhood as soon as it got dark. The boys were perfectly happy to sit in their stroller and take it all in. I had to add some fun to the pictures :)

My mom went with us and we took breaks sitting on curbs and chatting while the kits went door to door.

June dressed up for her new job as a "burn victim" at the Firehouse Grill. Her kids were adorable as a caveman riding a dinosaur and a baby dino hatching from an egg.

Can't wait until next year!

New Jammies

The boys got some new pajamas yesterday and I just couldn't resist taking some pictures of them because they looked so CUTE! Of course it was right before bed so I managed to capture some grumpy faces! Love it.

A photo update

Not much going on around the Babb house. The boys are keeping us busy and happy! Here's a few photos just for fun!

The reasons I have not blogged in a month

I'm home with a sick Maguire today so I thought I'd share with you all of the reasons I have been MIA. Some of the pictures are poor quality because they were taken with my cell phone! You get the idea though . . .

1. I went back to work! I miss Kindergarten so much but do appreciate the good things about teaching 4th grade. I have a really fun and sweet class that I enjoy being with all day! However, it is a LOT more work for me and much more stressful. I am exhausted by teaching all day and coming home to feed kids, give baths and play until bedtime. My days "off" are filled with cooking, laundry and cleaning!

2. After a very slow start to September, Mike's business is picking up a bit. He hasn't been around much to give me computer time! Thanks for the prayers-keep them coming!

3. We have been playing outside a bit. The weather got cool for about 12 hours and so we took advantage of it by playing outside. I thought chalk might be fun for the boys to draw with. They preferred to eat it, throw it and fight over it. But look how well Keller wrote his name :)

4. I have to keep a CONSTANT eye on Keller. He is very independent! He is a little monkey and loves to climb anything. He also loves to climb into things. He will get inside of any drawer, basket or box he can find then scream when he can't get out. He is very creative and will stack pillows or blankets to make himself a step. He will pull out drawers to climb the dresser and even use his quad to stand on. He will even climb Charlie the dog. Maybe he will be an acrobat or a window washer.

Meanwhile, Maguire is much calmer but a little more high maintence. When Mike is home, Maguire is his shadow. Mike can't take out the trash, sit on the couch or even use the bathroom without Maguire. He doesn't want much to do with me! Some days it hurts my feelings but most of the time I don't mind!



5. I am a non-stop referee. The boys are best friends playing together and laughing one minute then screaming and hitting the next. They have 100 toys but will fight over the smallest, dumbest toy. Maguire has many bite marks and bruises from Keller. He tends to be a bit of a bully!

6. We got tile in our dining area. My house was torn up for a week while Mike and Mark tiled the area next to our kitchen. I never knew it was such a BIG job! I do know that I will never again have to scrub cottage cheese or avacado from the carpet under the boys high chairs. YAY!






7. I am a short order cook. I live in my kitchen preparing snacks and meals for these two eating machines. Some days they consume more food than I do. How are we going to afford the teenage years?
