what a day

This is my incision, gross i know but at least I am covering up my butt crack!

So.. Tuesday was quite the day in my house. i was going in to have my surgery on my butt...a cyst was removed. But first thing we had a Dr. appointment for Luke. He is 9 months! crazy! So the doctor told us he has traces of an ear infection , but because he has this one within 30 days of his last ear infection he has to be on a stronger medicine that will be hard on his little tummy. So that was fun, he cried the whole appointment. 

 After that we took the boys to my moms and we were off the my doctors to have my little thing done..

We were there for about an hour and it was really fast and easy but the rest of the day I was so out of it and I think my body was in shock after having something puled, tugged, and cut out if it. 

While at my moms levi was out down for a nap just to come running out of the room after me. He learned how to open the door...a day i have been dreading. So no nap for Levi. 

After we got Dan we got home and I walked through the door to smell the most putrid smell I have ever come across. My dog had had diarrhea all day in his kennel and it was all over him, his bed, and the walls. It was the worst smell ever. those of you who know the smell of baby diarrhea...it is that times 10!! We hurried and put the boys to bed to spent the next 45 min cleaning and airing out our house. BLAA! When it was all clean we sat down and diesel started having yet another accident. Poor thing, so he slept in the garage. Dan was so mad but I felt so bad for him being in that mess all day! So that was my day! 

The joys of motherhood:)

So i have had a wonderful few days. We stayed at my sisters house Friday and played with them, which was really fun. Carley and Jacob came and played with us on Friday and we had a blast! BUT while I was at my moms Friday afternoon, I tried to out Levi down for a nap and a little while later I heard a knocking on is door...to my surprise he had crawled out of the porta-crib!!! He has never dont that so I was a little freaked out. So we had fun trying to get him to sleep at Chelsea's house... I thought that would be the worst of it but this morning I knocking on his bedroom door. He had crawled out of his crib!! I did not think he could do that too!!! So I have been trying to get myself together to decide when we will have to do the transition to a big boy bed. That makes me nervous. But I think we will do it in a few weeks and see how this whole climbing thing goes for now. 

Also, we got home last night and Luke has been so ornery and fussing a lot. I thought it was just his big fat top tooth that has just poked through, but I looked in his mouth and found that his third tooth on the bottom just poked through too!! WTF I thought that the bottom 2 came in, then the top 2 , then work on the others a few months down the road. At least that is what Levi did and what I have read online. But no...I guess all babies are different and you cant always believe what you read online. So now that I am looking more in his mouth it looks swollen all over. I wouldnt be surprised if all his teeth poke through all at once, That is how fussy he is. Poor guy. 

While we are at the Hellstroms, Chelsea and I took our 3 babies swimming at a Rec center by her house. We were so excited! We got all the floaties blown up, all the kids dressed and happy. We get in the water and planned that one of us would float with the babies  while the other chased Levi. As soon as we got in the water, the life guard comes over and tells us we cant have floaties! They apparently are a hazard (funny because I thought they were a safety precaution)  So we had to have one of us HOLD the babies while the other chased Levi, who was way more crazy than i thought he would be. All in all it was madness but we had a lot of fun! Levi had so much fun and we are way excited to take them swimming all summer, and hopefully getting the hubbies out there with us!

So last night my sister-in-law had her baby! She was 3 days overdue and had been having contractions for like a week but wasn't dilating, so finally she got to the hospital and she had him around 4:30 this morning! We went and daw them today and he is so cute! Dark black hair, strong features. He is adorable. Jude is what they named him. Dustin and Carolina and just like deer in headlights. It is so hard to have a first baby, you dont know what to do! Like, ok he is here; now what? I remember that feeling like it was yesterday! We are so excited to have another boy on the Johnson/Bastian side! 

Catching up

I have no pictures and i'm trying to get a video, but Lucas is crawling all over! He started crawling and 2 days later he was trying to get up the stairs and actually fell down the stairs..( he is ok though!) He is just crazy! I cant believe it! I just wish I could lay him down and I could trust that he will stay there and I could run to the bathroom or something... but no! He would have followed me into the bathroom..or fall down the stairs, like he did. But I will admit that this stage is my favorite! Just more aware, sitting and playing, and talking to me and playing with Levi. It is the best!

Also, yesterday I went to lunch with Rachael and had such a blast!! I love her and I love catching up! And baby Teya is just the sweetest little thing ever!! She slept the whole time, sweet little angel! I love hanging out with her and catching up! We have really lost so much time by not being close after school. I missed her. Love ya Rach! 

Easter Fun!

Wegot to enjoy Easter on rainy Saturday at the White's house. We got to hunt for eggs and eat a lot of candy and Jello Jigglers. The boy had a blast. Today we went to the Bastian's for a big Easter breakfast but we were so tired and kinda ornery to stay for the big dinner. But the breakfast was amazing and Fara Dawn spoiled us again!!Levi dug into the Jigglers first thing

He wanted to jump more than hunt for eggs
He finally got it...
He is really starting to look like his daddy
I look.....
...I eat...

Decore

So I finally got the shelf painted and hung so I can display my letters!! They are so cute! Also, while I was at Wood Connection I found a clock that had the background of my last 'N' in my new letters so I had to get it!! It is so dang cute I can't really stand it!! I hope you all love it as much as I do!

The boys!!

Today was such a beautiful day I had to get pictures and I just felt like blogging. ( It comes and goes like the warm weather I guess) Lucas is getting so big and is loving to play with Levi! He has ALMOST perfected the crawling. He tries so hard!





Oh and to all of those who were wondering where I got the wood letters from my last post, I got them at The Wood connection in Murray and Mod Podged scrapbook paper on them! It is super easy and they turn out so cute!!

Bitten by the bug!

So I have been seriously slacking on blogging but we have been having computer issues so now I am just doing it! We have not been up to too much, the boys are sick like every other week...thanks to this inconsistant weather! Every time it gets cold again, they are sick! It has been no fun! Tonight my new sister in law Carolina is having a baby shower and I decided to use up all my left over diapers from when Luke was littler and make a diaper cake! I have made them before and I love putting them together! I did one for my sister when she had her little girl and I made one for my own baby shower( sad I know) but that was my first one and it didnt turn out very cute! So this is the one for Carolina! It isnt perfect at all but it is sure cute!


I have also been bitten by the craft bug! I made these signs for the house and Luke's room. They are so cute and I did then with my sisters and mom. I will be putting the JOHNSON on a shelf when I get it painted and hung, so I will post a pic when I get that up and when I hang up Luke's.
