5 year and 18month doc visit

I booked 4 appointments today. Yup all in one day. As a working mom, I need to use my days off wisely. I survived! Whew! 

We were up early like any other day. Had breakfast and out the door we went! 

First to the dentist for Mr K. Then Mr K's 5 year checkup and baby M's 18 month checkup and needle... a quick stop at home for lunch then it was back out to baby M's ear doc appt.


They did so well! They were both on their best behavior! Baby M didn't even cry or make a peep when he got his needle! Super strong! 

Mr K is 37.4lbs and baby bro 21.4lbs slim guys the doc says ha! He did mention adding daily vitamin D to their diets. So we will do that! They had perfect checkups. I can't believe baby M is almost 18months old!!!!!! 

Baby M's ear tubes fell out already so he is booked in for another procedure :( but this will help him so much. Less ear infections makes for a happy kiddo. 

What are these kids up to these days...
Baby M feeds himself with a fork which is the cutest. His favorite foods are - Pasta and meatballs. Blueberries and bananas. French fries and chicken nuggets and all kinds of dairy free junk foods. And once in a while he gets his hands on foods he shouldn't eat! This boy is always eating!!





 
 Mr K is currently in weekly swimming lessons and weekly piano lessons. He loves both! So proud of this little guy!




 

February is jammed packed with fun. We are excited. Lots of birthdays and fun events!

Kids Calendar

Last summer while I was shopping for ink at Staples, I came across a school calendar. It's a calendar for the school year. I call it, the mommy calendar. Ha!

It comes with all these event stickers too which makes it fun for the kids to put on. 


 


 


With the kids appointments and events and our own appointments and events, we need this calendar. On top of our phone reminders and calendar this one is right in the laundry room, right in front of the door we walk in from. 

Today we had one of those busy appointment days. 

Baby M had his allergy test in the morning. The good news is that the reaction to dairy is less than it was the last time we did this test. So things are looking positive that he may outgrow this allergy. 


Then in the afternoon Mr K had his dental cleaning. 


He just strolled in and out of there like it was an afternoon coffee date haha. 


 
We had a quiet weekend. Swimming lessons and piano lessons, a stroll through IKEA, and a lot of movie watching with popcorn. And a little Sunday baking :) 



  

Oh and how can I forget, Friday night sushi! Mr K's fave!


 

We haven't been to IKEA in years! 
IKEA furnished our first home back in 2005. We lived at IKEA!! It brought back so many memories. The smell of those cinnamon buns took me right back to the feelings and memories of us being young and renovating a hundred year old home. 
So long ago! 




 
Sunday I felt like I lived in the kitchen. Cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner for these hungry boys. I baked carrot cupcakes nomnomnom which I ate wayyyy too many of. And for breakfast we had Baleadas. We have them every weekend. A yummy Honduran breakfast. 
A yummy warm flour tortilla, regret beans, avocado, eggs, cheese mmm we add bacon sometimes too. Soo good! 
I could go for one right now! 

It was nice having this long weekend. 
Now it's back to the school/Work rush tomorrow, and looking forward to the weekend! 

Have a great week friends!

Just the beginning ...

Our new year began with the flu. Yup. The first week of the new year my little guys were off and on sick with the flu. 

We spent a few extra days at home getting better.

The past few weeks felt really chaotic and busy. Back to school, kids under the weather, everyone trying to get back into the grove of things, trying to work on my New Years resolutions.... The best advice that was ever given to me, was to be 'gentle' with yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed. 
So I did just that. I took things day by day and told myself that my "NEW YEAR" resolutions will just begin a few weeks in. No biggie. That made all the difference. It took a load off my shoulders. We all got better and a little bit more organized :) and I'm slowly trying to get to those goals

 
The kids have a few 2017 goals of their own :) 

Little K has swimming lessons and piano lessons.  Which he is enjoying. 


Little K had a great first week back to school. He wrote me a note yesterday and it just melted my heart. I put it up at my desk at work :)

Baby M just got over an ear infection and had a few cranky days :( today he's feeling much better. In a few months he will be starting a new daycare which I think will be great for him. He is one busy little boy! Ha! 


We have so many exciting goals to work towards in 2017. 

What are your new year goals?

Have a great weekend friends!

A NEW YEAR!

Happy new year friends! 

I always write out my goals the beginning of the year, every year! I'll blog about that next time! House things, family things, money things, health things!  Pretty sure we have the same goals in mind. It's time to restart these goals!

This year we hosted New Year's Eve at our place. 

Great family, great food, great night! 





The ladies! 
 My little family
 Cousin love! 


 
 


 

As you can see, we had a lot of fun haha! 
 

Of course when there's drinking, no one drives! Unless there's a DD! 

So the littles were super excited for a sleep over! They were up early running through the house giggling and playing. 



 The next few days into the new year we had a lot of quality family time. The perfect start to the new year.

Lots of movie time! 

 
Some outdoor fun! 
 


 

Some indoor fun! 

Happy New Year friends! And hey! Kim K just posted for the first time after being offline for 3 months. So it's going to be a great year haha! (Some light humor :)
