Stay At Home Mom?

Help. It is 2 a.m. and I need help. I am barely surviving here. I have an amazing life with nothing left for wanting. Perfect hubby. Perfect baby. Perfect Gospel. Perfect house. Perfect dog. What more is there??

Yet, the postpartum part of having a baby has given me a run for my money apparently. If you dont know much about it, just know I've had a hard time. I'll spare the details. It sucks when you have everything you've ever dreamed of, and you struggle every day to be happy.

I need help because I know a lot of stay at home moms read my blog. How do you do it? Please let me know how I can find purpose in this little life of mine. I take care of Caleb... sure that's important, but he has lots of people who love him and take care of him too. I am good at many things, but I am not REALLY GOOD at anything. That's something that's always been hard for me. I think it's because I am lazy and dont try hard enough at things.


I am not looking for compliments, I just need to know how I can survive this mom world. I LOVE my baby boy. C-bear is the COOLEST. I feel so ungrateful when I am unhappy, but I simply cannot help it sometimes. If you have any advice, please help me. I need it.

Caleb's Cruisin!

It has begun. Caleb already has a power wheels... and an elmo cell phone... Yes, this boy is a lucky one! His grandparents love to get him stuff. And he loves this power wheels! Of course, he has not yet figured out the red button so I either sit on the back of it with him or I bend over and push the button while walking with him. He LOVES it!!!!

Some old pics I found on my dad's computer: Here is Caleb when he first figured out water comes out of a straw. He loves it. Just this week he figured out a sippy cup! Yay Caleb!
And this picture is from our visit to Cedar Point. Caleb has already been to THREE different theme parks. He has been to Disney World, Cedar Point, and Lagoon. It has been a busy year for this little dude.

Like His Mommy

Here is a picture of Caleb when he first held his head up. My dad is holding him up.

And here is a picture of me at 3 months old. My dad is also holding me up!I know, I agree, Caleb is a much cuter baby than I was. Man he's gonna be a looker!

Laughing Quadruplets

Oh my gosh I love this video too. It makes me laugh SO hard!!!!

BabyBeyonce

I love love love this video!!! I first saw it a few years ago. It's hilarious. Enjoy!

Gotta love this smile!!!

This smile lights up my life. My dad asked "Have you ever seen someone smile so much with their eyes!?" I said, yes, his daddy! Blake has the best smile, and Caleb inherited it!!! Yay for the world, more sunshine smiles!!!

I love this time of life!

Well, everyone told me to, "watch out for when he starts moving around!" Well, so far it has been a blast! Caleb is so much fun!!! We are LOVING it! 

He laughs, smiles, crawls, pulls up to standing. He even learned how to wave the other day and I think it's probably the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. I am still trying to get it on video.

So, Caleb stands up in his crib sometimes, but I have read that I should not go in and help him back down, so I don't. Eventually, he ends up happily asleep somehow!

Even though he is crawling and scooting around, he still likes to be carried a lot. I love that, because i don't have to carry him all day long, but he will let me if I want to. He and I have fun running errands together. It makes me feel like a good mom when we grocery shop together and pick out fresh fruits and veggies.

Blake, me, my mom, and my dad did a relay triathlon this week, the Old Hickory Lake Tri, and we won again! My dad swam an awesome swim, my mom ran the first leg of the run, Blake biked, and I finished off the last leg of the run. It was awesome!

Why Blake Would Be Perfect for WIPEOUT!

Okay so Blake and I are addicted to the new show Wipeout. It is awesome. You must check it out. I love it. People go through the most rediculous obstacles, falling in the most hilarious ways, and are competing to win a money prize. Yeah, it's so funny. You have to watch 2 or 3 shows to get really into it, and then it's downright hilarious.

Anyway, I think Blake would be perfect for this show. He is so coordinated and fast and really fun to watch do things. He can flip on snow skis AND a wakeboard. He can do gymnastics without ever having taken lessons. He is also a pro triathlete at heart - he's working on becoming that in reality. So, I think he would be awesome for Wipeout. So, I am applying for him to be on the show.

I need your help and suggestions. There is one question that has stumped me. It is the one way I can get the judges' attention when they go through all the applicants to choose who gets to be on the show. Here is the question:

"WHY ARE YOU THE PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR THIS SHOW?"

So, why is BLAKE the perfect candidate for this show? Please help me. What should I say? I want to get their attention and be truthful. I can't wait, he's gonna be awesome!

Comfort and Mark - Hip Hop

I have to say that Mark was one of my favorites! yay Mark! But... I hope Katee wins. Go girl!
