Finally I Figure it Out...

 

So I have finally figured out how to change my background, from the boring blogspot. background. Except then when I changed it I lost all of my friends. Holy Crap! I could have killed someone. Then I turned to Jake and said "stupid programmers." Which in our house is a pretty regular statement, considering Jake is a programmer.

No, I'm not being mean. It's just an inside joke in the Toronto Family. That is between Jake and I. Anyway, any time anything goes wrong with any sort of web application or I can't make something work one or both of us says" stupid programmers."

Now if you have to sit through discussions about "code" like I do then you know if you lose your friend list when you change your template. The programmer who made it goofed up his code and sent your friends list a packin'.

Anyway, I have recovered from my heart attack, and have since hand written everyone's addresses down. So if the next time this happens to you just scream at the top of your lungs "STUPID PROGRAMMERS," and I guarantee you will feel a smidgen better. Well it'll at least make you laugh.

A Time of Celebration

 

What a packed weekend and there is still more to come. Morgan turned two on Friday and then of course we had Mother's day too. Then my birthday is at the end of the month and at least 6 other people in our extended family.

Morgan is just so adorable. His vocabulary is growing day after day and today without me saying anything first he said Jesus during FHE. Major excitement on my part. It's amazing how much satisfaction you gain from your child's growth. I guess I am always worried whether or not we or I am doing a good job with raising our children, and yet all self doubt flies out the window when Morgan kisses Eva, or like tonight lights up when we talk about "Jesus."

It's so amazing how much he likes FHE when we have FHE. We usually do pretty well at getting it done and yet after nights like tonight it makes you want to do even better at fulfilling the commandments when your kids enjoy learning even with as simple a lesson as " I am thankful for my body."It's really cute because Morgan can't say "world" so when you ask him what "Jesus" made he says " the ball." I love it!

In other really exciting news, Friday is Jake and Morgan's first Father son outing. They are planning camping and everything with the ward. They are both so excited.

Eva is doing really well with her stomach to back rolling now, and is finally enjoying her tummy time. We started feeding her baby food and she absolutely loves it. She loves it when Morgan attempts to play with her, and they love talking to each other in the car. That's really funny to see.

I love my little family and I can't wait to see us all grow.

I survived

Holy Cow that had to be the longest four days of my life! But I did it. I survived. I also single handedly put both kids on the same bedtime. NINE O'CLOCK!!!!!! There is just something about needing your own peace at the end of the day. I don't know about everyone else but I need that peace before two AM. Especially when you can't tag team your children.

So for the most part both Morgan and Eva have stayed to that schedule. Well to be honest mostly Eva has stayed to the nine o'clock bedtime. I think Morgan's problem is that even though he is tired he is so happy to be with Jake that he won't go to bed. BIG SUCKAROO! I just want to go to bed now, now that I know it's possible to go to bed and get up early. Now when I mean early I mean like eight. But still not sleeping half the day because we were up til two.

Will I ever find the peace again.........who knows......

Now just a note to all those who have known Jake and I for a while. Morgan is having his second birthday. Can you believe he is already two. We certainly can't. I feel like we just had him. I feel like I just had Morgan and I just barley found out I was pregnant with Eva, and I just had her. But look Morgan is two and Eva is almost five months now. Time really flies, don't you think?
