ok I have been sooo bad at updating this ----and it needs to be!!! the twins are now 3 and emma believes she is too. ;-D ok let see.... where to start.... laci is mostly potty trained (I say mostly because she still has the every so often accident). she is a small loving force of nature!!! She really likes to be a "dog trainer" and cole and emma happily comply with being the puppies. soooo funny!!! She is in to tinkerbell and any thing princessy. she love to tease and loves to love her cole and her emma. she told me about a month ago when I was putting her in bed " mom an option is more than one choice" --- sooo smart!!! she likes to tell anyone in an argument to calm down (very loudly) ;-D she loves crafting and glueing. she has some friends from church nursery and we have them over alot (well they are coles and emmsa friends too).
she was a lady bug for halloween and it was sooooo cute!!! then we had a large accident and had to go in candy corn pumpkin jammies. opps!!! she is very happy and will go to they end of the world to please me or jason, or emma or cole. Laci and cole had a birthday party, it was soooo much fun. the balloons, the friends the family, the cupcakes the jumper, the ball pit and the pinata with candy!!!! -------we had some trouble getting to that day------ about 3 weeks earlier we had the yucky croup( a week before thanksgiving) and cole was having severe trouble getting a breath -- he was "retracting" his whole cheast was caving in. we put him in the shower --- not helping, we got him dressed and took him out side ---not helping I told jason to put him in the car so I could take him to the ER. I made it about a mile or 2 down the road before he started gaging and making a choking sound. so I pulled over to the fire station (it was right there!!!) and he got an ambulance ride to the ER. and a breathing treatment on the way. (he still remembers the ride in the ambulance and wants to "go again" I will always hope never again!!!!! he spend from 3 in the morning to some where around 12pm in the ER. fun. Then Emma a day or two after that started sounding croupy and looking like she didn't feel good --so I wanted to avoid the ER --I took her in to see her pediatrican ( I thought a breathing treatment maybe steriods) no no no we were sent to the hospital for a 2 day stay!!! great. and 11am the day before thanksgiving we got out. I brought her home and we slept. (just me and Emma) and then the next day was thanksgiving ( I was very thankful to be home and have everyone breathing). (I ran a 5k and did it in 36 min.) I know thats not a super fast time but I wasn't last!!!) then our neighbors brought dinner over. and I thought that we would all be hospital free for a long time....... no no no about 2 weeks later we went to party city to let cole and laci pick out a pinata for their b-day and I was with all three of them at the cash register ( we were nearly out) and Emma some how either opened a can of fancy heat (sterno) or one was open, and ate a nice handful!!! and then cole followed by rubbing it on his face and licking his lips. --- at the time I was more conserned with Emma her face was covered in it, and she was gaging and choking. cole just made a sour face. I kinda panicked the manager there called posion control. turns out that stuff is around 72% methanol and when ingested forms formaldhyde in the blood and causes blindness!!!! great---we were back for a 6 hour stay in the ER again to find out how much both emma and cole had taken in. and as a precaution they were both treated as if they had eaten a toxic amout. ---luckly the blood test came back --6 hours later ---- and they were ok. ----------------the next day I had agreed to temp for our family dental office so I held my breath and went to work. ----then the next day was the birthday party. --I took 2-or 3 breaths and jummped in to happy birthday festivities!!!! (It was actually soooo much fun and a welcome little break from the past crazy days. ) then I went back to work for 1 more day of temping. (that morning Emma made me laugh she wanted luck charms and said " I want emmi charms mom" ). When I got home laci was not happy with me for being gone all day ......she was very crabby and mad at me!!!! after a few days she was back to normal. --and tonight she threw up all over her self ---great we are in for a stomach thing!!!! (I am praying that it might have just been something she ate.)
any way that was crazy for a while.......cole is soooo funny he has been showing some intrest in potty training ---not alot. it will happen right? His favorite show right now is jeep challange ( a jeeping compation dvd jason got yars and years ago....and never actually thought he would get to watch it.....suprise we watch it for breakfast almost every morning!!!!! He loves trains, cars, books ( The "I spy books") he loves to play with Emma and Laci. He is very very loving and he also loves to tease. he and laci both get dressed "all by myself" and emma can do it "myself mom" ---it is starting to feel like they need me less and less...... all three of them are so independant. ( i love it and have a little sadness about it too. ) I know they are growing up......Laci tells me every day " mom I am so much bigger, and taller, and I can do more stuff" ---yes Laci you can every day you and emma and cole do more "stuff" get bigger and taller. --- I can still see a very tiny bit of baby (just in your faces) I know that will be over way to soon. The last 3 years has sped by like lightning!!!! (maybe faster). I already miss it. ----but I jump it to the next day and so on and so on..... and laugh at the funny things that happen.
Emma is soooo cute she loves laci and cole ---she calls him "coly moly". she loves he babies. she loves running around the house. she loves going places and playing with friends. (and she is 19 months going on 6 yrs). she is vey curious about every thing. and very kind she loves giving kisses, and hugs. she also has learned to tease. ;-D -----I love them they are sooooo funny and so smart. (well I am their mom --what else would I think--right? ) any way ------ jason is training for a battan death hike some time this spring and has lost a few sizes --and looks great!!!! he works a lot and hopefully one day way way down the road it will pay off. the kids love him and he really is "super man to them" any way I better go now ----hopefully I will blog more soon next time. till then life is good!!!!!
