So, today is the day... Barrack Obama won! WooHoo!
But on to more important stuff, that Logan and Lelah can't find anywhere on the internet in 20 years. :) First off, Logan is being quite the little pest. He's going through this ultra hyper phase that is just about driving Josh and I mad. It's worst when he's happy and tired, but those aren't the only times that he's wearing us out. Anyway, some nights I lay in bed praying to God that my precious little boy isn't changing into a monster. :( He still is precious, it's just sometimes there is quite a bit of time between precious times. He's still completely in love with Lelah, and she shows the same amount of admiration towards him. Yesterday Josh got Lelah to laugh out loud by jumping towards her... a couple hours later, she was in her swing and we saw Logie doing the same thing. It was so cute cause he was trying sooooo hard to get her to laugh... when he finally got her to he was so proud. Logan is learning more and more words every day. He's talking in sentences most of the time now, and I think he's probably understandable to the majority of people probably at least 50% of the time. Not the whole sentence, but I think most people can get the gist of what he's trying to say. :) I'd say that Josh and I understand him more like 95-98% of the time. :) Two days ago he came up to me in the kitchen and said, "Mama, why is my dog sad?" I don't know what Max was doing that made Logan think that he was sad, but apparently he looked or acted sad. Logan was worried. :)
Baby Joel was born on October 15th, and since October 10th Logan and Jameson haven't gotten to see eachother every single day like they are used to. Jen says that Jameson is having a hard time, and I know that for the first bit Logan had a terrible time. He cried every morning for the first three days. He still (it's almost been a month now) will ask me in the mornings half of the time if his "baby" is coming today. Jen and Jeremy decided that Jameson should come still on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I'm able to tell Logie, "No, not today, but tomorrow" or something like that. It's holding him from being sad now. He's still not happy when baby Max comes... which I think is partly my fault. I get so aggravated with his crying, and I think that I take my aggravation out on Logan... so he's taken to saying, "He needs to go home now." whenever Max is here. :( I'm hoping he doesn't have the same reaction when baby Joel starts coming. I'm also hoping that I can somehow get him into some kind of preschool program when Jameson and Joel come back for 5 days per week. We'll see though. I'm worried that since they will be coming in the morning that there will be no way for Logie to get to any kind of preschool program, even if we have the money to pay for it... he still has to have some kind of transportation. I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out.
Josh just got back from New Orleans. He was there from October 25 to October 30th. I missed him so much it was ridiculous. Especially that since he's been home he's been a butt. :( Oh well, I figure it's a hard transition going from a manager, talking work talk every hour of the day for four days straight and then coming home and having to be a dad again. Anyway, butt or no butt, I'm glad he's home. I've decided I'm not meant to be a single parent... that is some tough stuff right there. Josh also found out (right before he left for New Orleans) that he won't be having an Assistant Manager anymore. He's happy and sad at the same time. Anyway, he didn't have Katie Petit anymore, because she was promoted to manager of the Triangle store, so it's not too big of a loss. He hadn't really gotten to know the new assistant before she was also transfered to her own store.
Lelah is doing wonderfully. She rolled over for the first time last Wednesday... on the table in front of Crystal and I. I think she probably would have done it sooner but I never really give her the chance, and if she has the chance she doesn't have any reason to do so. She's been giggling out loud for awhile, but in the last week she's really started laughing a lot. It's really adorable, and Logan gets her to do it more than anyone. They are already starting a bond... they love eachother so much already. It's really amazing. Today Logan was falling asleep on the couch and Lelah was up there with him and it was so cute because even though he wasn't moving all around, she still stared at him until she fell asleep too. It was sooooo cute! I never thought I would feel this way, but two kids is soooo much better than one! Watching number one with number two is absolutely amazing and watching number two with number one is just as great. I love love love having two children.
Alright, Lelah is finally asleep... I think I'm basically torturing her by feeding her my breastmilk right now. Something I ate (I think the new recipe for Zuppa Toscana I made the other night) is giving her terrible gas. Poor little thing... I've given her so much Mylicon today. :( Hopefully she'll sleep okay. Good night.

Logan and Jameson
Okay, so I just listened to the most hilarious exchange. Logan and Jameson are so cute, sometimes I have a hard time not just busting up.
This morning I forgot to bring down Logans potty chair when I came downstairs, so when he had to go to the bathroom, he went upstairs. I hate carrying that thing down, especially when there is pee and poop in it, but it's my own fault, so whatever. So he goes poop, and I carry it down, empty it and go on my merry way. I go to the bathroom a little later and then I hear Logan telling Jameson that he is going poop, he'll be down in a minute. It was something like "I pooping upstairs baby!" And I was like, "No Logan, I brought your toilet down here..." and then I saw that no, the toilet wasn't in the bathroom where I left it. He had taken the damn thing back upstairs! So as I'm coming up the stairs I'm yelling at him that I don't like to have to carry it up and down the stairs, why the heck did he bring it back up the stairs right after I brought it down. By this time, I'm up the stairs, he's sitting on his toilet in the spot at the end of the hall where we always keep it in the middle of the night and he's pooping telling me, "It stinks down there!" :) This totally cracks me up. That makes perfect sense... if I needed to go poop and could move the toilet that I was going to go on to a place that didn't smell like someone elses poop, I would too. Totally makes sense. Anyway, so by this time, Jameson is now upstairs too. Logan is saying, "Come on poop!!!" and Jameson is saying, "Chocolate milk?" Apparently he misunderstood Logan. To this Logan responds, "No baby, I poop!" Then Jameson says, "Oh, pee?" "No baby, I POOP!" Then Jameson looks at me and says, "He poop." LOL
This whole thing just totally cracked me up because it was like listening to the drunks that Bill Cosby talks about. It's so hilarious!

More than a month!
Wow, it's already been a month since I last wrote... geesh! We took a little vacation from the internet due to the lack of money. Sad but true. Someday, I'm sure that we won't actually have to let things be turned off just so we can afford our bills... until then, I'm sorry to say, internet is a luxury.
We're back on for now though, so I might as well do an entry. :) One of the biggest highlights since the last time I wrote is Zoe came to visit. It was so nice to see her, and I'm so thankful that I got to get to know my sister a little better. She's quite a kick in the pants, and Josh, Logan, Lelah and I had a ton of fun with her. Logan was his usual jerk-self... telling her constantly that she was a "bad guy" but I think that he actually enjoyed her. He just seems to think it's so great to remind people over and over again how much he doesn't like them... with a smile on his face. :) I'm hoping that he gets over this soon... I'm sure that it can hurt peoples feelings, and I don't know how to make them feel better. Maybe that he is that way with everyone??? On a VERY SAD note, Josh lost our camera while Zoe was here. :( I am so sad about it... I actually get kinda sick to my stomach every time I think of it. Ugh, I'm so sad. That is something that we won't be able to replace anytime soon, and that is just so depressing to me... especially considering how young Lelah is. So depressing!
Lelah started really smiling while Zoe was here. She had smiled here and there a couple times, but she REALLY is smiling now. She's very happy in the mornings, which is such a change from Mister Logan. She's pretty happy in the evening too, and really I can't say that she's ever really that sad. She's so content. Again, such a change from what Logan was when he was a baby... I think he was probably happy in the mornings too, come to think of it. I don't remember him being cranky like he is now. While Zoe was here we went to the kite festival at Long Beach and had SOOOOO much fun. I think all of us can agree that it would have been just as much fun without the kites though. :) We played and played and played on the beach... it was such a great time! We went to the end of the beach, by Beards Hollow, but the tide was up too far, so we parked, my mom watched Lelah and Josh, Logan, Brittney, Gregory, Zoe and I all got chased by the waves trying to get to the other side. It was such a fun time! We all ended up pretty soaking wet, but it was so fun!!! Also while she was here, we took her to Siouxon Creek, and I think she liked that. But I do think she liked the beach much more. :) Josh also took her to Mt. St. Helens, which is where he lost the camera. It was pretty much a wasted trip from what I hear. It was cloudy, so they didn't even get to see the mountain.
I still haven't sent out the announcements, and I'm really starting to get down about it. I've decided that instead of doing one like I did with Logan, I think I'll do one of those letters kinda like I do at Christmas time. I thought I would include a couple pictures of them. I should work on that maybe tomorrow.
Alright, I'm going for now. I'll try to keep up with this better than I have in the last month. It should be considerably easier since we now have the internet again. :) Bye for now!

Logan finally had his haircut today... and he's sooooo cute! His hair was just about driving me crazy! I swear it was getting longer every day, and I could notice it! Anyway, it's adorable, and he was so cute when he showed my mom and Josh. He bent his head down so they could see the back of his neck where the lady shaved him. It was soooo cute. They of course didn't know what the heck he was doing, so I explained, he was so proud. :)
I think that's all I really have to say today. I just thought I would share that little bit of excitement... because it was so cute watching Logan show people. :)

Things going well...
Wednesday was a busy day for us. First thing I drove up to Chehalis because I thought Lelah and I had an appointment with Laura. Turns out I had an appointment the day before at 4 o'clock, but Laura saw us anyways. Whoops. :( I lost another 4 pounds and Lelah gained a pound and two ounces! Isn't that wonderful!?!? I was thrilled. Lelahs PKU turned out fine, I got my belly cast and the appointment was all around wonderful. Laura shared some really interesting stories of different births, and there isn't much more interesting things to talk about in my book. :)
Wednesday was also the first day that I had the boys again. Four kids... it wasn't bad. :) Max and Jameson have changed so much in the three weeks they've been gone... I totally wasn't expecting that. Max seems like a mammoth compared to Lelah, but according to Kayla he is low on the charts. I have a hard time believing that... but whatever. Anyway, he's eating his food better... he hardly spits it out at all. He does seem to need to be held a lot, but I think a lot of that is the age he's at right now. He wants to be involved with what the boys are doing, but can't really do anything... he can't sit up, he can't crawl, etc. So what I've been doing is when he gets tired of one thing, (the swing, johnny jump up, in my arms, on the floor, or in the play thingy like a walker) then I switch him to the next. It's going okay. The fact that Lelah still sleeps so much is extremely helpful, and Max still sleeps a pretty fair amount too. He takes about a two hour nap in the am and another one in the afternoon. It's nice. Hopefully this will last for awhile. :) Jameson has learned sooooo many new words! It's pretty crazy really. Both Wednesday and Thursday he surprised me with multiple words that I didn't know he could say. I can't believe how much growing up he did in just three weeks! I can't imagine what it will be like when Jen goes on maternity leave... he'll be a whole new boy. :(
Josh was home on Wednesday and Thursday, so it was a nice ease into the babysitting thing. Today is my first day alone. I'm glad that I don't have Max first thing in the morning like I did the last two days... that is what I least look forward to. Having to get up early for him after having to get up with Lelah at night. :( I'll get used to it.
Alright, I'm in a hurry, so that's all I'm going to say.

Josh is going back to work... :(
Well, our three weeks as a family with no work responsibilities is coming to an end. :( Josh is going back to work tomorrow. I'm feeling a little depressed about it. I'm not nervous or anything, just sad that it's over now. It's like the day after Christmas... all the excitement is over and we're having to go back to our everyday life stuff. Oh well, it had to happen sooner or later, and I just keep reminding myself that it's not like he's never going to be home with us again. He DOES come home every night. :)
I start watching the boys again on Wednesday. I think I'm ready for it. Physically I feel fine... I don't really feel like I just gave birth to a 9 lb. baby two and a half weeks ago. There are only a few times a day that I can remember due to a body ache or something. Mentally I'm ready, as long as I keep reminding myself that I won't have them 24 hours a day. I'm still going to get time alone with Logan and Lelah. And I also keep reminding myself that I need to get back into the swing of things because I'm SOOOOO SICK OF A MESSY HOUSE! I'm anxious to have my routine back... get up, do laundry, clean kitchen, clean up dining/living room, etc. Without having any kind of obligations, I've been not doing any of that stuff regularly... and trust me, my house is proof. :( I think Logan has missed Jameson quite a bit, and I think it'll be good for him to have a buddy to play with again.
As I type this, Josh is outside planting our garden... I know, I know, it's way too late in the year for that. But really, I don't care. It's something that has been on Joshs mind and he's really really been wanting to do it, so if we get just one piece of food from it, I think it'll be worth it to Josh. :) We have pea seeds planted, he's going to plant corn and pumpkins. Then we have romaine lettuce starts, tomato starts, cucumber starts and a bell pepper start (that actually has a bell pepper already on it!). I have great faith that we'll get more than one piece of food from this... and not just because there is a pepper on the pepper plant. Every grocery shopping trip we make we buy romaine lettuce, cucumber and bell pepper, so I think that this is a good thing. :)
Alright, that's it for me. I plan to post some pictures on my MySpace now.

Lelahs first 12 days (cont.)
Okay, so here is the rest of it...
July 14, 2008
Absolutely nothing came into mind for this day. I think Josh went into work today while the kids and I took a nap, but that's all I can think of. On the calendar I have written, "Jens guess for baby being born"... I guess she was wrong. :)
July 15, 2008
Today we had an appt. with Laura, and it was a good one. Lelah lost 6 ounces, but according to Laura, that's fine... it's normal for a baby to lose a half pound in the first week, so she's ahead of schedule. :) I lost a whopping 21 pounds!!! I was hoping for 9 pounds, but 21 is of course wayyyy better! Now lets just hope I can keep it off. ;) We also got ready for our camping trip that we will be leaving for tomorrow, Wednesday. Actually, Josh did most of the getting ready. I truthfully just sat most of the day and nursed Lelah. Oh, Sherre and her kids came over to meet Lelah, so that was a lot of what I did... visit with them. Josh did a fantastic job, and made wonderful chocolate chip cookies, muddy buddies and caramel corn!!!
July 16, 2008
This is a very important day. It's funny though, I didn't even realize until the next day what today was. Lelah was due today! But she was actually a whole week old... she's such a big girl! :) We left around elevenish to go camping at Canyon Creek. It was a very nice drive... Lelah slept the whole time, and Logan enjoyed watching The Jungle Book in Unci's truck. :)
July 17, 2008
We were camping today too. Logan spent a lot of the day playing in the river with daddy, and Lelah spent a lot of the day nursing... it's her favorite thing to do. :)
July 18, 2008
Today is the day that Unci and Papa came to camp. Logan was thrilled to see them, and truthfully, Josh and I were quite thrilled to have other adults to talk to besides eachother. :)
July 19, 2008
Today we are still camping... we went on a hike to our favorite area... Siouxon Creek. We hiked a total of three miles, to and from Horseshoe falls. Josh and I were so excited to show it to my mom... and Logan enjoyed the walk. :) Lelah slept the whole way up, but about 1/3 of the way down she decided that she wasn't happy to sleep any longer and was ready to eat. I tried to calm her down, so that I could just feed her once we got back to the car, but she wasn't going for it. I ended up nursing her while walking back to the car. It was quite the task to get her situated, but once she was latched on it was easier than it sounds. :)
July 20, 2008
Today we came home from camping... Josh, Logan and I were SOOOOO ready to. While we totally enjoyed the trip, we were all ready for our home. :) I'm not sure if Lelah even really noticed that anything was different. When we got home, we finally put the batteries in the swing, and boy does Lelah LOVE LOVE LOVE that! We don't really use it a whole lot, but when we need the break, it's sure nice that she loves it so much. :) Today her belly button also fell off. We've been waiting for that for a couple days now... it's been pretty gnarly looking. We went to Tricia and Joes house and visited with them for a couple hours, that was nice. Oh, today we used Logans wagon for the first time. He loved it... and Lelah didn't seem to mind it too much. Of course, she doesn't mind much when her tummy is full and she's asleep. :)
July 21, 2008
Today we went on a walk at Lake Sacajawea (I don't know if I spelled that right) with Sherre and the boys. We had to let Logan pee in the bushes three different times... we tried the bathroom, but he refused to use it because it was "Blah". :) I can't say that I blame him... and I'm kinda glad he wouldn't use it because I'm so scared he's going to touch something when we take him into those nasty bathrooms. I just think I could maybe get into trouble if I was caught helping him pee onto a tree in the middle of the most populated park area in town. :( Ah well, what can I say, he's potty training. :) We had borrowed Jen and Jeremys weed eater and air mattress, so we made plans this morning to return both things to them this evening. Jen called and told us that we were invited to dinner too if we'd like it. How in the heck can a person turn down Jeremys yummy tacos??? :) We had a nice visit there. Lelah puked the whole time we were there though... maybe sour stomach? I don't know, but I don't think she's puked that much ever. She seemed fine during the night though, so it must have just been a case of sour stomach.
Today
We don't really have any big plans for today. Josh is rototilling the back yard so he can plant some seeds, and some starts for a garden. It's his latest obsession... I'm nervous that it's too late, but it's keeping him busy, and happy, so whatever. It would be REALLY cool to have fresh vegetables... I love vegetables fresh from a garden.... MMMMM!
So that's it. I'll try to get on here at least every other day, but we'll see. :)

Today we are still camping... we went on a hike to our favorite area... Siouxon Creek. We hiked a total of three miles, to and from Horseshoe falls. Josh and I were so excited to show it to my mom... and Logan enjoyed the walk. :) Lelah slept the whole way up, but about 1/3 of the way down she decided that she wasn't happy to sleep any longer and was ready to eat. I tried to calm her down, so that I could just feed her once we got back to the car, but she wasn't going for it. I ended up nursing her while walking back to the car. It was quite the task to get her situated, but once she was latched on it was easier than it sounds. :)

Today we came home from camping... Josh, Logan and I were SOOOOO ready to. While we totally enjoyed the trip, we were all ready for our home. :) I'm not sure if Lelah even really noticed that anything was different. When we got home, we finally put the batteries in the swing, and boy does Lelah LOVE LOVE LOVE that! We don't really use it a whole lot, but when we need the break, it's sure nice that she loves it so much. :) Today her belly button also fell off. We've been waiting for that for a couple days now... it's been pretty gnarly looking. We went to Tricia and Joes house and visited with them for a couple hours, that was nice. Oh, today we used Logans wagon for the first time. He loved it... and Lelah didn't seem to mind it too much. Of course, she doesn't mind much when her tummy is full and she's asleep. :)

Today we went on a walk at Lake Sacajawea (I don't know if I spelled that right) with Sherre and the boys. We had to let Logan pee in the bushes three different times... we tried the bathroom, but he refused to use it because it was "Blah". :) I can't say that I blame him... and I'm kinda glad he wouldn't use it because I'm so scared he's going to touch something when we take him into those nasty bathrooms. I just think I could maybe get into trouble if I was caught helping him pee onto a tree in the middle of the most populated park area in town. :( Ah well, what can I say, he's potty training. :) We had borrowed Jen and Jeremys weed eater and air mattress, so we made plans this morning to return both things to them this evening. Jen called and told us that we were invited to dinner too if we'd like it. How in the heck can a person turn down Jeremys yummy tacos??? :) We had a nice visit there. Lelah puked the whole time we were there though... maybe sour stomach? I don't know, but I don't think she's puked that much ever. She seemed fine during the night though, so it must have just been a case of sour stomach.
Today
We don't really have any big plans for today. Josh is rototilling the back yard so he can plant some seeds, and some starts for a garden. It's his latest obsession... I'm nervous that it's too late, but it's keeping him busy, and happy, so whatever. It would be REALLY cool to have fresh vegetables... I love vegetables fresh from a garden.... MMMMM!
So that's it. I'll try to get on here at least every other day, but we'll see. :)
