My Boob Job.

Yes, I got a boob job, but it's not what you think. I work for a company called Mentor Corp. They are the only place in the USA that manufactures breast implants. I make every shape and size of what is called the "shell". There are many steps and procedures to take, but I'll see if I can explain in a nut shell. We take a mold dip it into a solution, which varies, and then it bakes, then we peel the shell off the mold and inspect it for imperfections, then it's sent to the next stage where the shells are filled with gel or saline, which I don't do. That's the basic idea of what I do. It's very interesting, who knew it was such a process to make a boob?

Growning, growing, growing

Lil' Ez, isn't he cute! He's almost 2 months now, and he's growing like a weed, I think he's going to be real tall. The other night he slept 9 hours! Thank you Ez. I could use the extra sleep since I got my "boob job". Yes, it's true! But it's not what you think. I make boobs. Yup! I'm back at work, but this time I make boobs, not hair. It's fun actually, and it's got its props too. First and most important, I go to work when Eric gets home. This way we don't need daycare. And Eric gets quality time with the kids. And since I'm still nursing I pump at work so Eric can feed Ez while I'm at work. Lovely isn't it. Oh and if I ever want a real "boob job", I get a nice discount.

My lil' girl just chillin' watching her most favorite show of all, "Hanna Montana", yes it's true! She loves it. When the theme song comes on she gets so exctied, she'll yell, "Tanna!" and start dancing, it's a blast to watch. I think I have seen every episode a hundred times. Zion also loves getting her picture taken, anytime she sees the camera she'll say "cheese" and automatically smile. She's growing up so fast. Now she's starting to speak phrases. She'll say anything from "I want it", to " Uh oh where'd it go?", or "Oh no, what happened?". It's crazy how fast they grow up. She's such a big girl. I've had to put her cup of milk in the fridge at night before I go to bed, because every morning she goes to the fridge to get her milk, before even coming to get me. Then she'll go sit down on her little chair and watch her favorite morning cartoons. She's very independent.

Ez's new swing

Ezekiel loves his new swing that Nana bought him.

It plays music and rocks him to sleep. And of course Zion loves pushing him in it.

She sat in it today while he wasn't in it and it almost broke, luckily it didn't.

Mom came to visit!

Mom came to visit over the weekend!!! We had a blast! I had missed her so much. But we had fun. She got to see her new lil' grandson EZ and spend some quality time with Zion as well. The last day we went to a park and took pictures.

Zion, Nana, and Ezekiel asleep on the side.

We met up with Steph and her lil' ones, Locke and Breckyn, on Monday and went shopping. Mom wanted the "Texas Grand kids" pictures taken. So we went to Kiddie Kandids. Oh my gosh! Trying to get 4 kids under 3 yrs. old to sit still for a picture isn't easy. That was a very exhausting, interesting day.

Mom, Steph and Breckyn....Zion and Locke were running around somewhere!

Lap time

I call this Lap time, Lunch and nap.

So I put Zion here to eat, then she was supposed to go take a nap..... I think she decided to do both at the same time.

A day in the life...

Wow! Me, a wife and a mother of not one, but two little tykes. It's crazy to think that I was once a baby like them and my mom woke up at all hours of the night taking care of me. I have really learned to love and appreciate my mom more by being a mom myself. I won't lie, being a mom isn't easy or always what we want or expect it to be. But it I would never trade it for the world. The joy and happiness you receive by being a mom is priceless.
Like last night for example. Ezekiel was awake, let's just say, most of the night. And Zion decided to wake up around 1 am and again at 6 am. So this morning I was overly tired and ornery from lack of sleep. I went to get Ezekiel to change his diaper. And Zion followed after me, then climbed up to peek at what mommy was doing. Then she said,with a look of disgust, "Ewwww.......dirty!" as I continued to change his messy diaper she repeated again and again, each time growing with more intensity and enthusiasm than the first. "Eeeewwww.....Dirty!" As if it was going to reach out and grab her. I couldn't help but laugh and right there and then my thoughts of ME were vanished.
It's the little things that they do that make me realize how blessed I am.
