April and May....Boy am I behind!

All Smiles....Look What I Can Reach!

Cruisin'

Another Type of Crusin'

Wow, the Spring got away from me, as you can tell by the long time between posts! We have not felt like we had a lot going on, but I guess we have!

Jack is doing great, and his potty training is pretty much finished (as much as it can be for a 3 year old I guess).  We visited a few Pre-Schools and finally decided on one, and luckily they had room for us! It is really hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Jack is going to start school - even if it's only two mornings a week! He also got his first bicycle (Lightning McQueen, of course) and he is learning the ropes of riding it. Our neighborhood has a lot of hills so he kind of prefers riding at the State Park where the road is a bit less up and down.  Actually, all three of us got new bicycles and we hope to start to ride them as a family once Logan is old enough to wear a helmet and ride in the pull-behind.

Baby Buzz (yes,  we still call him that!) is also doing great. He's been crawling for maybe a month now (see, waaaaaaay behind) and now he's cruising along holding onto furniture. His favorite activities are eating, and playing with is big brother. Especially in his crib. In other big news, we just saw the first tooth start to poke through just this week. Yay! Finally!  TEETH!!!

Scott is doing well - his big Atlas Liquid Oxygen Tank test is finally over and he's still trying to decompress from the long term stress of that project (over a year of his time). Everyone is a lot happier when Dad isn't under a ton of pressure at work!

As for me, I'm hanging in there, still crocheting when I have a minute or so.  I've also started to try my hand at canning.  So far I have made Lemon Curd (turned out OK but it's just for the fridge by my recipe), pickled cabbage (for Papa Sudar), and Chipotle Salsa. It's all turned out pretty well. Now I can't wait until August when the pickles come out in the Farmer's Markets. Who wants pickles?!?

Thanks for your patience, I have been trying to spend as much time as I can playing with my kids while I still have the chance.  Guess the whole starting school thing is really getting to me! Naw, I'm really excited for him.

Until next time....

  1. You're not behind--just as busy as a mom should be. Glad to know you are enjoying your boys! They are so darn cute. It's a good thing they aren't my grands--I would be hanging around all the time. Mary

  4. Thanks! It is fun to hang out with them. I'm glad Pat lives so close (and Gary). Hoping my folks will be moving to CO in the next few years too. That will be really fun!

New Ride!

Well, it's no Mustang, but it is black! What we got was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. At any rate, we both like it. It was a reasonable price for a smaller sized family-with-lots-of-stuff car. It served the purpose of "ease of child seat access" and "can load many groceries plus a dog" into the back.  (You should have seen us try to get the rocking chair into the Mustang.)  It also serves the gas economy purpose (31/28 advertised) and was not a big SUV, or a minivan. I have never been fond of driving huge cars or trucks! It looks like a five door hatchback to us, but I guess it is technically listed as a "wagon." Some things go full circle, eh Mom?  Maybe a bit cooler than the Corona Wagon we drove in Texas, or whatever it was called.  Sorry the photo isn't super great, it's raining and cold so I pretty much didn't want to go out of the garage.  There are some more photos on our Flickr account (see link to right "other photos...")   It act...

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...

I'm Gonna Have To Get a Female Cat. . .

Today was our 20 week ultrasound and appointment! Everything is going really well. Baby looks to be about 9 oz in weight and has a good heartbeat of about 132 bpm. But enough stalling! It appears I remain outnumbered in our home now - 3 boys to 1 girl (5:1 if you count our feline friends!). That's right folks, another boy! How many of you were right??? We were able to get a nice "up from the bottom" shot that confirmed the gender. We also took a nice shot of his foot, and his profile. Actually, I think I was in there for 45 minutes and she took about 50 shots of various organs and body parts. We got the two thumb's up from the doctor that he's looking great. I also got some medicine to try if my nausea continues to be a burden. Yes, just today I was feeling sick again. *sigh* Just for comparison I looked up some of the posts from this time with Jack: Nov 2008 Some things are the same: I still can't eat fruit without feeling sick, and I'm dropping thing...
