Big sisters are life savers!

Probably a month ago I watched Cora, and for the first time Amelia.

Amelia and I laid on a blanket on the grass while watching Cora play in the yard. Amelia fell back and she started crying. I decided it was time to go inside. She wouldn't stop crying. I didn't think she hit her head very hard when she fell back, but I guess it was a mixture of lots of things, like me being a stranger, her hurting herself, her being tired and hungry. But she just wouldn't stop crying. Cora and I tried everything to make her happy. We tried all the tricks I was told to try. It was a little early but I got her bottle ready and tried to feed her. Cora the amazing singer she is, started singing "Puff the magic dragon" to her, and it worked! She settled down a bit while her bottle was warming up. But she didn't want her bottle. Cora suggested we tried to feed her upstairs. She ate a little and was still fussy. I got her to burp. I felt bad for not being able to play with Cora. She had a list of things she wanted to do with me. We walked around with Amelia singing to her and rocking her around. Finally she took the rest of her bottle. As I was burping her, it all came up. Not on her, all on me. Cora was just outside of the door and said "EWWWWWWW!" I told her not to look and to brush her teeth. When I finally got Amelia down it was time for Cora to go to bed.

Here is a picture of Cora singing to Amelia in the kitchen to calm her down.



Hopefully the next time I get to watch them, it goes a lot better!

Long time no see

Well this summer has been crazy! Summer school, babysitting and for some reason I feel more busy than I was when I was taking nursing classes. I have stories from babysitting and pictures I will be adding

I have been sick since Monday... and finally feeling okay to be out of bed so I figured I would update.

Has anyone watched Lost? Josh and I just recently got into it... We are watching it on Netflix. Everyone said how crazy and confusing it is. I wondered what they were talking about, but now we are in season 3 and i am totally lost! Some say its a waste of time and the ending is disappointing. I hope not.

This summer I have been doing lots of crafts! I have several I am doing for Addison's 2nd birthday and my friend from nursing school is pregnant so I working on a cross stitched growth chart! very time consuming! I am teaching myself different patterns for dish cloths, because the same old thing was getting boring... here is my latest.

I love drummers

So I know I haven't updated on my babysitting lately... I have to load my pictures on the computer first.... but I figure I would share with you a new drummer, who in these videos are ages 4,5,6 and blows my mind....

1st one, my cousin showed me b/c she knew I loved Blink. This is "All the small things" He also does "Dammit" "Obvious" and "Go" by them.


Here is "Detroit Rock City" By Kiss


AC/DC "Rock and Roll aint noise pollution"


And last one I will leave you guys with... is Chop Suey by System of a Down. My 3rd favorite group.... that never tours... and when they do its in another state... I think it is so cute he has a Shrek shirt on. An old friend got me into this group when I was about 12. Josh's cousin last year asked me If i ever went through that "grunge phase"... And I guess I still haven't gotten out of it... if its a "phase" because I still like this kind of music 10 years down the road. Soooo I guess thats me.


and yes BTW I have a count down on the Blink/MCR concert 67 days.... I am still super stoked... and yes I am a nerd. <3

This kid does so much more... Rush, Led Zeppelin, Korn, Guns n Roses, The Who, Nine Inch Nails, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Michael Jackson
.
Just go to Youtube and put in Jonah Rocks or he has a website... www.jonahrocks.com
