What are my boys made of?

My new swing (you cant tell, but blake is caked with dirt)




Sugar and Spice...oh no not at the Siddoway home



Brock's first day of 1st grade



My silly boys (Jack's I'm goin' eat your face smile)

Sleep?

Now that Blake has been moved to the bottom bunk putting him to bed has become a challenge. We still rock him in Jack's room for awhile and if he doesn't fall asleep in the 15 minutes he is laid down awake in bed and forced to cry it out. Some nights he falls asleep without a peep (which is a relief to Brock who must endure the crying). With Blake's unwillingness to fall asleep as well as he once did, both boys are going to bed much later then before and with our latest colds, are both tired. Now being tired is something I know alittle something about. I have to admit that Jack would have a much better night time schedule if it weren't for me. I pick him up and nurse him and awake an hour or two later with him happily asleep cuddled with me on the bobby in the rocking chair. I just cant keep myself awake.

I have decided Jack is slightly tongue tied. He cant stick his tongue outside of his mouth. It doesnt seem to affect his nursing so I will have the doctor look at it at his next appt. It is pretty funny to see him try to lick his lips and see that his tongue cant come out.

Well today was Brocks 1st day of school. He managed to ride the bus to and from for the first time and get hot lunch successfully. He did give the lady a 5 and she kept the whole thing, so I assume we now have a credit...I hope. He only has 2 kids from his kindergarten class in 1st grade and one of them is the boy Brock called the "mean kid" cause he was soo bossy and pushy....well I hope Brock will make new friends and can stay out of the "mean kids" way. He did say he loved 1st grade so much and cant wait to go back.

The job search has been cruddy lately. There are weeks and months that just produce better jobs to apply and more interviews. I guess though, the last almost four months could all be considered cruddy since we haven't found a job yet. When I pray I feel an end is near (lets hope it is real revelation and not just my hopes).

Picture Overload

Here are a few pictures taken during Mom's visit. You are extremely lucky you are even getting this many. I am exhausted. Jack is a great sleeper...during the day... but likes to keep me up all night. Jack is now over 8lbs, and still doesnt do much but eat, sleep, and poop. Last night Blake slept the entire time in his big boy bed. He did wake up twice and Jeff went in and laid with him for a few minutes until he fell back asleep. Tonight, with Brock home, Blake wanted to play and so was put to sleep rocking in his chair in the baby's room and then laid to rest in the big boy bed. Hopfully tonight will go well. I think Jeffs and my snoring wakes Jack up and so I would like to move him to the nursery. I also would like the use of the rocking chair in there-

Pictures of Grandma...

Mom Came to Visit

Mom just left us... and we are very very sad. We will miss her greatly!!!! We had a really nice time despite the flu. Plenty of pictures will come....eventually. Hey, I could run up stairs and download the camera now, but I am just too tired (as you imagin I dont sleep very much). I promise it will happen- probably this week. Here is the picture of Jack taken at the hospital. I figured I would scan it in incase anyone wants to use it as a screen saver or something...

For Fun- You think they could be brothers?
