Yes, I did it:o)

I've changed the name of my blog(but not the address, duh)Because it is my blog after all. Why "Mommyca"? Well, "Mommy" because I am one, and the "ca" is the end of my name, (Monica) so you get"Mommyca" Cleaver huh? Well I didn't think of it, my husband did. (me, I'm not so cleaver)



I was not really going to blog tonight, but right now I am waiting for my carrot-banana bread to finish baking. Yup, I'm making bread at 11:42 at night! How crazy am I? I was going to do it earlier, but time got away from me and I wanted Andrew to have some for lunch. Now this week I have made a total of 8 loafs of this stuff. Oh, timer just went off. So anyways, I cannot get enough of this bread, I love it! I got the recipe from a WIC class, and at first I was kinda scared, because little ol' me has never made bread before, really, I'm telling the truth. But OMG, it is sooo easy and soooo good. Yumm! And some added goodness to it is that Madison loves it too and with the carrots added you get extra vitamins and such. Love it, for breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner or desert. Love it!



Well, my last post I wrote I didn't have any thing to write about.(it's true, I'm pretty boring) But M suggested that I post pics. Great idea! Cuz, I love taking pictures of my kids and well face it, they are sooo darn cute! So on with the pic-chas!
Nolan, saing "What's up?"

Madison, "It's way to early for that mom"

Both are looking at mommy:o)

Upside down Madison

Nolan, being..well cute of course!


Madison, joining in on the cuteness!

Ladies Man


And the mess after eating pudding.....but it was yummy she says:o)


Well I hope you enjoyed. I'm off, to bed.



Ciao.

Oh the blahness in me!

I don't know what's up with me, but I have the blahness:o( I really have nothing to write about, unless you want to hear about the terrible two's, poopy diapers and spit-up perfume. No? Me either. sigh.

I have been really tired too. And really I don't know why. Nolan is now sleeping 9hours a night, and I have been taking my iron supplemnt and vitamins. But still, I just can't get enough of the zzzzz's! I'm sooo happy that Andrew has tomorrow off, maybe I get to sleep longer in the morn. And he's cooking dinner tonight, yay!



Ciao.

Blahness.....

So not a whole lot going on today, it was Andrew's day off, and the first one that we did not have to go anywhare. So yeah, we were just being lazy:o)

And everyone is asleep right now, have been to for almost an hour.....it's like the first time ever that everone is down before 10:00pm. And what do I do? Instead of catching up on some ZZZZZ's? Oh yes, I sit here and blog while chatting with my little sister on msn. I have been sending her scary pics on myspace. But not to be mean, her and I like to be scared,(weird, I know) and we love scary movies. Just today i sent her this:
Nice huh? Kind of a Ring/Grudge/Silent Hill thing going on.
Oh and I'm eating a orange cream yogurt. YUMMMMM! I love yogurt, and aparently so does Madison. She ate a whole cup herself, and not much was on her when she was done.
Soo, kinda getting sleepy now, so I guess I'll join the others:o)


Ciao.

Women in Art

Enjoy~

Writers block, oh writers block.....

Is that even possible to have when you blog?! For some weirdness and what not, I cannot think of anything to write about.......so I guess you all will have to settle for some pics, because I can write about those. Oh and I could go on about how I suck at spelling........

I ROCK!!!
Okay, not really. But M seems to think so. So she said I get to flash one of these around:Let me tell you, she's a great blogger, I love stalking her blog everyday(yup, I'm a blogger stalker) Let me see if I could figure out how to do a neat little link thingy.......okay, I can't so M, you have to help me out with that! But thank you so much for thinkin that I'm a rockin girl blogger:o)

OMG! Too funny!
yeah, so what I am amused really easily and this picture gave me a chuckle, teehee:

And is he really?LOL!

My sister and her family:
Now I am going to introduce my sister Sandra, she's my older sis and she lives in Alaska(too far away)and her wonderful family!
that's her with 3 of her kids, Brianna,JR and Jacob. Next one is of all of her kids(aren't they cute?)Brianna, JR, Jacob and Isaac. And this one is of her and her husband, Brian, and JR:o) Great looking family huh? I can't wait to see them, and can't wait for Madison and Nolan to meet their cousins. Oh and if Sandra is reading this, tell your kids that Tia Monica said to stop growing!!LOL!


So that's it, and I'm really tired. It's 2:19am right now, and I need my beauty reast, lol, that's an understatment!



Ciao.

Pictures! Who wants to see them?!

So I was freaking out because I could not find the cable for my camera, I would have been in trouble. But I found it, yay me:o)
here is a pic of Madison and Andrew up at Diamond Lake, the water was sooo nice!

And here are some pics form the baseball game, that's our friends Jesse & Jenn, and the little one is their very cute little miss Gracee:o)


Some random pics of missy Madison: the first one is of her "hiding" she thinks you can't see her when she get's behind the blinds:o) Funny girl!





And this is her new swing we got for her, she just loves it!




And of course here is some pictures of Mr. Nolan, though not as many, they kinda all look the same, and I tried to get him smiling but he just stares now when the camera is out:o) Oh and you can see his scratch on his nose:o(



So we had a great weekend, everyone is feeling better and it cooled down some so my kids aren't as cranky,LOL.

So I really don't know what has gotten into me, but I have been cleaning like crazy! I even did some before and after pics! It's of my kitchen, I should have taken pics of our bedroom, that would have been a bigger difference then my kitchen!
Before:



After:


Nice huh?

Oh and before I go(I'm super tired right now) Here are two pics of the sunset tonight, I just wish I had a better camera to get the moon right now, it's soo pretty!




Ciao.

Blaahhhh.....

Day two of Andrew's three day weekend, and we had a pretty fun day.

We all woke up late, and just putted around the house. The decided that we wanted to go do something, sooo we headed out of town. We ended up at Diamond Lake. Very pretty there, and even though we only got our feet wet(I was so not planning to be around water today)the water was perfect. There were lots of families out and about, and the campground was full! I have some pretty snazzy pics, but I am sooo not motivated to load them right now.

My poor baby Nolan has the poops, and I'm sure you all wanted to know that!:o) It's gross, and he's lucky that I love him to pieces. Also he scratched his nose really bad, I'll have to post a pic of that tomorrow too, but his nails grow sooo freaking fast that it's so hard to keep up with them. I swear I just cut them like two days ago, and now I had to cut them again today. This is why he sleeps with socks on his hands, because if he didn't, I would probably get child services called on me cuz he looks so bad. How do you other mamma's keep your babies from ripping up their face?

So here is another cute Madison story that happened tonight:o) Andrew decided to put a sock on one of Madison's hand to see what she would do. She just thought it was great, she had a puppet! She was talking with it and everything! Of course it would only say "wa-wa", but it was still soo cute. She even gave it kisses!

Oh, I don't know if I'll post tomorrow, Andrew is taking me to a baseball game. So we shall see:o)
Oh and another random thing, I got a new cell phone, and it's PINK!! yeah! I love it, I love pink, I love pink stuff, if I was a crayon I would be pretty passion petunia petal pink. How's that for some P's?


Ciao.

*sigh*

We had a very busy day today, and I'm kinda tired. So, I leave you with this:

Very cool huh?

Ciao.

yeah, go figure...

She already has everything, so why not these?



What is this world comming to? :o)




Oh, and mine are real thank you.

When did I become soo jumpy?

I mean come on! I used to love thunder storms, and now I am soo dreading one. And it's close, I saw the lightening over the mountains last night, it was too far off to hear, but boy did I see it. And just not five min. ago Madison's pool made me jump! How? Because I have to empty it after each use or the birds will have their way with it(not a pretty mess) and the wind picked it up and it hit the side of our house. OH MY GOSH did I jump! So I had to run outside, showing the world my ratty hair(it's cleaning day, so my hair is up in this rat nest looking thing. Oh and that's right, I would rather be blogging then cleaning!) and no makeup to get the pool and weigh it down. Fun.

Sooo, Andrew has a three day weekend coming up! I am sooo excited. I am even more happy that it's going to be a friday-saturday-sunday-three-day:o) He wanted to go camping, but really I didn't. I guess I'm not ready to go camping with two kids yet. I mean I had my hands full when we just had Madison, and now that she's full blown walking/running and I have a three month old.....I don't think I could do it. Plus, it would be way to hot for the kids.
But we are going to go to a baseball game and a concert after the baseball game, it should be fun, we are going with some great friends:o)

Andrew also mentioned wanting to go to a Vanilla Ice concert! I really hope he was joking. But he says it's like his child hood dream come true, all he needed was his fave cup from when he was young. Dork. :o) Great, now I have that dumb song stuck in my head. I should tell him that if the New Kids On the Block ever get back together and put on a concert then we'll talk...teehee:o)

Both kids are sleeping right now. I should take a nap too, or get back to cleaning, I really don't know. I just have to laugh at how my kids are alike in so many ways, but yet soooo different. Like one example: Madison could care less if her diaper was wet or poopy and could go all day with out a change(it's a fight to change her diaper, trust me I have the war scars) and Nolan just cries if diaper is even a little wet and happy as soon as he has a new one on.

So I'm off, to do....something.

Ciao.

High fives and kisses

So I thought I would share a really cute story about bed time last night, if that is all right with you:o)

Well Andrew changed Madison's diaper and took her down to her bed room for bed. A few min. later he comes up all grinning and everything and...
A: that was the cutest thing ever.
M: what was?
A: well as I laid her down she kinda woke up and wanted a kiss, so I gave her one then she held out her hand wanting a high five.
M: Awwww.
A: she might still have one for you.

So I headed down(I needed to give her her bottle anyways) and sure enough she wanted a kiss and high five. She just melts our hearts! And she passed out like right after to. Too cute!

On another good note, Nolan slept until 7:30am today! Yay, it's like the second time he did it, I just can't wait until he does it all the time:o)


Ciao for now.

Come on birdies!!!

I know people are reading, I have a counter up! So leave a comment, I love them! But don't be hating, or I'll......I'll......I'll not like you.....there I said it.(OMG, I'm sooo tired)

So everyone is feeling better today(thank goodness!), but Madison still has not quite got her appetite back. But she did love the mac and cheese I made for her:o) And she got a little pissy towards me because I would not let her outside today.....but in my defence, it was way to hot for girlie to play out there.

I am so kind of mad at Andrew("kind of" but not all the way, imadork), you see I had this paper, well really it was an envelope, that I wrote little notes on or sites that I visit or people's blogs that I stalk(and let me tell you I stalk allot of you, muahahahahaha!). But anyways, he was cleaning the desk area, it really needed it too, and he threw it away!!! AHHHHHH! Sooo, I have to re-stalk all of you.....sorry. But who knows, I may find some new blogs to stalk, muahahahaha! It's getting late, I need to go to bed. It's almost 2:00am.



Ciao.

Hi, I would like a fever with a side of ranch.....

Don't ask about the ranch.....let me tell you how our weekend has been going....



I wrote that Madison has had a hard couple of days right? Well, turns out she was not feeling good. She never had a temp, but oh boy she was not herself. She was not eating like she usually does, but I was not worried because she goes threw this every once in awhile. Thursday night she passed out earlier then she usually does and we put her to bed. She woke up Friday morning screaming! Turns out she poohed sometime during the night and now had a very bad rash (we always put on a new diaper before bed so that she will not leak). Poor baby. Oh but that's not it, she also started to puke up everything that she ate. Even her milk. I felt so bad for her.

Saturday morning she started to feel better, and still no temp. Then I started to feel achy and crappy. No biggy, I just thought my monthly was starting. I just ignored it. And Nolan was sleeping more then usual, I just wrote it off as a growth spurt. By that night Madison was fully herself again, hungry and all. But me, I was feeling awful. I asked Andrew to please get up with Nolan, so that I can rest. He did of course.

Sunday morning(this morning, duh) I could hardly move. I was hurting bad. And I was having hot and cold flashes. I took my temp.....103.8! I could not believe it! Then I took Nolan's.....101.3! Oh man, I gave it to him. My poor baby. Madison was fine, I could hear her running around up stairs with Andrew. And we gave Nolan some baby Tylenol, his temp came down, thank goodness. And my fever broke like and hour ago, but I feel so much better. I just hope we caught Nolan's fever in time and that it won't go up again.

So, yeah, fun, right?

*Oh and if Sandra is reading this, sorry I missed your calls, you called both times while we were sleeping and my cell phone took a dump so I can't call you back. I love you and thank you so much for sending me pics of the kids, I'm going to show them off on here if it's okay with you.*

So I found something really weird, tell me what you think of it:

Weird huh? I think so.



Ciao.

Nolan talking

Holy Hotness Batman!

So today was hot, like ummm 95 hot. I didn't mind it, but my kids did.......both were very grumpy today. So that made a grumpy mommy too.....sad, I know.
Madison got to play in her pool while Nolan slept, so I sat outside with Madison. I put sunscreen on her, and didn't even think about me......yup, I'm burnt. Fun.

So I let the kids run around in their diapers.....well, Nolan didn't run around, he just kinda layed there. But I had to keep putting back their diaper........yes both of theirs. Why you ask? Oh because Madison likes taking off Nolans too. I guess she figures that if she does not want her's on, then Nolan should has his off too. So I just got tired of it and put diaper covers on them. That stopped that.

And thank goodness baths are like crack to toddlers, because I really needed a happy break from Madison. She has just been having a hard couple of days.

So I have a video that I want to share, it's of Nolan. I tried to get him "talking", but everytime I held up the camera, he stopped. Nice. And the video, the only way I could figure out how to post it, it's at the top:o)

Did you have a good one?

Did you all have a great fourth? We did, it was great!
Even though Andrew had to work, he took the morning shift so that he could be home for the fun:o)
We went to my parents house this year, and we had a very yummy BBQ. My Papa was there too, we have not seen him for awhile so it was nice to visit with him.
And our town's ice cream truck came by, so my sister and mom took Madison to get a ice cream bar, she was soo cute comming back across the street with her huge ice cream, it was one of those red-white-and-blue popcicles. Boy was it messy, but she sure did like it! Some pics of her messy self:


As you can see, she broke it in half to eat it, and this is how we cleaned her up: yay for little pools!! She had so much fun. The next pics are the following: my hubby, Andrew; Micheal's girlfriend Rachel, and my sister Shar on the phone...of course Madison in her pool:)
More pics-more pics..wooohooo! And now for some during fireworks, Madison with Daddy, Nolan sleeping in the house(because he was scared, poor baby) And some pretty lights:o)



So yeah, it was fun! I could have done with out the bugs though, they seem to like me..and now my arms look like I have some disease or something. Fun.
So the kids are napping and I want to watch my show. And when I say "my show" I mean the complete third season of "Scrubs"! Yes! The best show ever!

Yeah, okay, I'm a dork.....

Or am I?.....


Ciao!
