Overprotective Mommy?

Well, I finally got James out of the house today. We ran a few errands and then went to play at the pee wee gym. I finally got fed up with the bigger kids taking toys straight out of his hands that I finally told this one kid that he was rude and to leave James alone. I'm sorry but his mom was in the lobby, not even in the gym with him. It just makes me so mad when parents let their kids run around like that and don't even watch them. So watch out people Mrs. Tabacco might call your kid rude....or maybe I'll start ripping toys out of their hands because I'm bigger than them... hehehe Am I evil?

Where do the days go?

It seems these days are flying buy so fast lately with it getting dark out earlier and all. I have felt so tired it takes me longer and longer to recover from my weekends of work it seems. I guess thats just part of being pregnant. Boy am I looking forward to my maternity leave, weekends off and at least a little sleep each night! I am feeling a little guilty that I haven't been taking James to do very many activities lately but he has been such a good guy. Today I laid down on the couch with my head next to him and he rubbed my head, then he whispers, "Mama," and growls like a dinosaur. I couldn't ask for a better little buddy to have around than him! I love you James!

Buffalo Bills Update...

Okay, so we're not 5-0, but 5-1 is still pretty good. During the previous game with the Arizona Cardinals, our quarterback, Trent Edwards (Go Stanford!) took a bad hit and suffered a concussion. It kind of ruined the team mentally for the rest of the game, contributing to the loss. With Trent Edwards back after a much needed bye weekend, we scored a decisive win against San Diego, and are now considered "one of the teams to beat" in the NFL. The Bills haven't looked this good in over a decade and we definitely have high playoff hopes.

Bishop's Pumkin Farm

Here we are at Bishop's farm ready for a fun day! This pumpkin farm had been recommended to us by quite a few co-workers and friends. Definitely worth the trip.
The first thing we did when we got there was to ride the train! James loved it and kept Mooing at all of the cows along the way!
James had so much fun feeding the baby goats.

James pumpkin hunting. He even got a pumpkin for his soon to be baby brother! What a good big brother.
Here James and Mommy enjoy the hayride back after picking pumpkins. What a fun day! This is a great place to go for a fun day of pumpkin picking. There is so much to do, we didn't even see the entire place. The other fun thing there that we did not get a picture of were the pig races! So much fun!

Gym

Today I took James to our local Pee Wee Open Gym. He had such a blast. It's in a gym, and they put out all kinds of things like parachutes, tricycles, mats, balls, basketball hoops, and hula hoops and the kids have a blast! He played for a good 45 minutes or so and then he was starved so we went home for lunch and nap time. I've gotta admit, I was getting a little tired myself. As you can see, we still haven't broken him of the binky. He is so happy to sit with his binky and smell his favorite corner of his blanket. Hey, it may be weird but it works...

It's a BOY!

We had the 20 week ultrasound yesterday and it's another BOY! We are so excited that James will have a little brother to play with! So far, the radiology tech says everything looks good and we can't wait to meet the new addition to our family. What a blessing it is!

Night Terror

Last night Tony and I had the scariest experience to date with James. He was crying in his crib shortly after going to bed and had pooped, so Tony was going to change his diaper. When he lifted him out of bed James started screaming and arching his back and punching and pulling. We didn't know what was happening so we were about to take him to the ER when we couldn't get him to settle down. He seemed to be in pain and couldn't make eye contact with us. On our way out the door, I was holding him and could feel an awareness come into his body like he had just woken up. He then said in his sweet little voice, "Mama?" After doing some searching online we came to the conclusion that this was a night terror. Very scary, but we were glad to see he was okay!

Heading to the Superbowl?

Well, we are off to a great start this season. The Buffalo Bills are now 4-0 after Sunday's game. There is no reason for them not to demolish Arizona next Sunday to put us at 5-0. We have been having a lot of fun watching the games and it's great to see the Bills doing so well this year. The Bills have not gone 4-0 since 1992, and this is the best they've looked since that era. GO BILLS!

Apple Hill

I took James to Apple Hill with my MOMS Club Wednesday. Unfortunately, Tony couldn't come because of school but the trip was lots of fun! In this first picture is Farmer Floyd who drove the tractor for our hayride! And next, the rest of the MOMS Club and their kiddos. After the hayride we got to see how they sort the apples, make apple juice, apple pie, and caramel apples. Then it was off to the trout pond to feed the fish!

James loved to run around the Apple Trees at Grandpas Cavern where we had delicious apple cheesecake! We even got to bring home some great apples for Tony to sample!

Haircuting Tips...

Moms out there, here is a word to the wise. Please do not let your husbands cut your sons hair. Men think this will be a bonding experience or even "fun." It is not, don't be fooled. Last night Tony decided to cut James' hair. Let's just say James was left bald, I was left crying, and hair was left all over my floor. Seriously, I started off laughing and then I was really crying hysterically. I think it's partly those pregnancy hormones.... I love you Tony, for trying, but . . .
