<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Happy Birthday Bryce-E</b></span></div>
<br />
I'm still trying to figure out at what exact point in time a baby turns into a "big kid." Well, it's happened to my "baby" Bryce. It literally feels like a year ago, rather than four, that Aaron was driving me in a blizzard to the hospital to deliver my bundle of joy. "Joy" is truly what he is to me. He's such a sweet hearted little guy with a love for animals and babies, both alive and in toy form. He's an awesome brother and a wonderful son. Happy Birthday my Little Man, I love you! <br />

We saw this beautiful face and experienced love at first sight. It's hard to believe it's been a year since our adoption agency matched us, yet ironically it feels like she's always been a part of our family. I suppose this is true as she was born in my heart long before we ever saw her precious face. Oh how blessed we are!</div>

That is "Blogger Motivation." Anybody that knows me well knows I have a lot of passion. When I want something done I Get . . . It . . . Done . . . I figure out a way to make it work and it gets done. That's pretty much how I've gotten through life. Sometimes it totally drives my husband crazy because I almost become obsessed. Unfortunately there's only so much room to obsess in my life. I like to think that I try my hardest to do everything well, but I'm usually only obsessed about one or two things at a time. Of course my family is always an obsession, so that leaves only one more "obsession slot". The last 2.5 years my obsession has been the adoption. Part of my love for blogging was chronically that portion of my life. Now, I feel very, very content with where our family is in life. I have my 3 kiddos, my wonderful and loving hubby, and a house that feels like "home." Prior to starting our family my obsession was my education. I have a master's degree in speech-language pathology and I truly love my job. But, I'm ashamed to say I haven't taken a class (other than 1-2 day workshops) in several years. But, now that I'm feeling settled in my home life I'm feeling the pull to further my education. I'm not sure what this will do to my blogging efforts because I'm sure most of my time in front of the computer from now on will be doing homework rather than uploading pictures. But, I'm sure I'll check back in every once in a while. Especially during long vacations from work. Also, I PROMISE I will take some time this weekend and post pictures and updates from the last month or so. I hate this guilty feeling I get when I'm not blogging, but right now it's just not a huge priority. Please forgive me. I usually get about 3,000 views a month and I have a nagging feeling that I'm letting people down when I'm not blogging regularly. I've followed blogs before where I would check in daily and really enjoy reading about people and their adventures, or get great tips and ideas. It is disappointing when those people seem to fall off the face of the blogging earth. I don't want to be one of "those" people. So, to the people that follow my blog and like to check in regularly, please don't forget about me. I'll be back every once in a while and it's only a matter of time when the blog returns to a higher priority slot and you will see posts every couple of days. Anybody else out there ever lose their "blogger motivation" and just want to focus on other aspects of their life?Carahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10278472231970821046noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37378446.post-38936587257671349772011-08-10T11:25:00.000-05:002011-08-10T11:25:23.878-05:00<div style="text-align: center;">

It's been almost two weeks since I've blogged. I actually have material to write about and some great pictures. But, I've been down in the dumps with a thrown out back, a cold that is killing me, and an all around busy life. So, I've been ignoring my blog. Sorry :0( Hopefully I get around to getting some pictures up in a day or two. I've turned a year older, took a trip to Denver, and did some judging at the county fair. Teachers have to report back to work on Monday. I am SOOOOOOO ready to get back into my school routine. But, as much as I love my job . . . I love my kids a million times more. So, it's always a bitter sweet time of year. This year is going to be a bit different because my big boy, Cam-O, starts Kindergarten. He is just thrilled and can't wait to begin learning how to read (at least more than he already is). He'll actually come to work with me every morning and ride the bus over to his school. Bryce and Emmy will both be going to half-day preschool. They will be in the same building, but will go to age appropriate classrooms and have different teachers. I know some people think 2 is a bit too young for preschool. But, Emmy's classroom is actually a developmental classroom. She qualified to go technically as a English Language Learner. I am super excited to have her there and I'm a bit envious of all the activities she's going to get to experience without me. They will both be back with our awesome babysitter in the afternoons until I get off work. So, in a nutshell, I've been ignoring my blog and I'm sorry. But, life is still going on!Carahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10278472231970821046noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37378446.post-21222414709854319542011-07-30T13:06:00.001-05:002011-07-30T13:06:58.631-05:00<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>A couple of "Firsts"!</b></span></div>
<br />
My kids are growing up before my eyes! This week we had a few "firsts"! First of all Emmy has finally started calling me "Mama"! She's been with us 5 months and people wouldn't even believe that she never called me by my name in the past. She basically just didn't call me anything, but if she did point to my picture etc. she would say "Dada" almost in a joking manner. Every once in a while she would say "mama" if she was scared in the middle of the night. I'm not sure she was even addressing me when she did this. After all, her foster mother was "mama" way long than I have been. This did not hurt my feelings. I've done enough reading on attachment to know this is fairly normal. But, just this week she's started yelling "mama" when I walk in the door! YIPPEEEEEE!!!! Emmy also got her first American haircut! When we got her 5 months ago it was obvious she had a fresh haircut. It was a cute little bob that fit her well. But, I want to grow her hair out just to see what it looks like. It was getting a bit scraggly so I let her get a trim when the boys got their hair cut this last week.<br />
<br />
Another first for Cam-O! His first sleep over at a friend's house. The boy's buddies live just three doors down and invited Cam to sleep over last night. He did great! The whole family went over for pizza and a movie, but when it was time to go Cam-O got to stay. Bryce-E wasn't too happy about not getting to stay over, but I just think he's a bit too young for such a big boy activity. Suprisingly he quickly obliged to leave Cam-O when I told him he could have a sleep over with Emmy in her room. I had to sneak into her room a few times just to make sure all was going OK. Here are some photos of the "firsts" this week!<br />

<span style="color: red;">Aaron's been awfully creative lately and I just can't help share some of
his columns! This is a true story, absolutely nothing has been added
to increase the humor of this particular incident. But, I have to add
that this same guy had been at our house just a few weeks earlier right
at lunch time. He basically barged in the door without my consent and
began his rambling that lasted about 30 minutes. I finally got rid of
him by telling him I would not be making any decisions about buying his
"product" without my husband's consent. I had a good mind to tell him
off about being respectful of people's time when they are obviously busy
trying to prepare lunch and getting tired children off to their naps. I
wasn't so happy when I walked in the door a few weeks later and saw him
sitting at my kitchen table AGAIN! Anyway, Aaron's much better at
telling stories than I am. So, here's his recalling of the incident. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I talk about my kids a lot in this column. With three
preschoolers I have little time to experience anything else. I’ve said it
before but I will remind you that things are very chaotic around my house. Yes,
I have my parental outbursts of “Knock it off!” and “Do you want to go to
timeout?” But I’m getting used to the hectic pace of life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It became apparent to me just how hectic our household is
the other night. We had just returned from a hurried dining experience (we have
to hurry and eat before we get kicked out of the restaurant), my wife went and
ran some errands and I threw the kids in the bathtub. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For Father’s Day, the kids got me an MP3 player, so while
they were taking a bath, I was playing with my new gadget. I got the kids out,
dried them off and began the process of putting on pajamas. This process is
kind of like a branding. I wrangle the nearest kid and hold them down and apply
clothing while the other two run to the far corners of the house to avoid being
next. I usually aim for the smallest one first, because she is the easiest to
catch. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While I was doing so, one of the boys came in to her room
and said, “Dere is someone at da door.” With my headphones in, I hadn’t heard
the doorbell ring, so I peeked out the window and a gentleman was standing on
our doorstep. I didn’t know who it was and I debated even answering it. But I
noticed that the door was already half ajar so there was no way to pretend that
we weren’t home. Bryce had evidently opened the door in his birthday suit,
foreshadowing what was to come for this guy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I usually have empathy for salesmen. I work for a newspaper
after all and on a weekly basis, I am out pedaling advertising. Sometimes
rejection isn’t easy to take. So I figure if a guy has enough guts to ring my
doorbell, I’ll at least be polite. But this couldn’t have been worse timing for
this salesman.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I opened the door, three little sets of feet followed.
Camden, my oldest greeted the guy warmly, even extending his hand for a
handshake to which the salesman didn’t reciprocate. Strike one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The guy looked at me with huge eyes and asked, “How many
kids do you have?” I replied that I wasn’t sure and I was still awaiting a
paternity test on the oldest two.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He asked if he could come in and being the polite guy I am,
I let him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now I would usually be horrified if my kids acted the way
they did when company was over, but in this case I had to keep myself from
laughing. The guy laid out his paperwork on the kitchen table. I pulled up a
chair beside him as did my daughter. I actually think I saw smoke come out of
his ears when she proceeded to get up out of her chair, walk across the table
and his paperwork and into my lap. She then got down and repeated the path
three times before I finally put an end to it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shortly after, my oldest son gets in the mix. He had found
my tape measure (which I had been looking for by the way) and he came over with
about three feet of tape extended like a sword. He poked it inches away from
the guy’s face as if he were one of the Three Musketeers issuing a challenge.
Seeing the potential danger for eye-loss, I made Cam contract the tape measure.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Minutes later Camden was back, this time with wooden spoons.
He was drumming on one of the chairs, then pretended the guy was a cymbal and
smacked him on the leg. Actually, the kid was just playing and it was more of a
delicate thud. The salesman proceeded to grab the spoons from Camden’s hand and
lay them on the table beside him. Strike two!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The guy asked me if it was like this every night or just
because company was over. I said, “This is pretty much par for the course.” He
told me he was going to go home and double check to make sure his wife had
taken her birth control. Rude, but funny.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My wife had arrived home a little later. The final straw was
probably a mixture of her bluntness and the fact that Bryce had stripped off
his pajamas and was gallivanting around the house. Regardless, I think the guy
got the hint that it was time to go. Strike three, he’s out!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I usually don’t condone such behavior from my children, but
if someone has the nerve to breakup our bedtime routine, there is no need for
false pretenses. And if you have problems with solicitors, I’ll be happy to
rent my kids out to you. I won’t be liable for damages of course.</div>

<br />
<div style="color: red;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As I've mentioned before, my hubby is actually the writer/photographer of the family. Here's a guest post by none other than Mr. Aaron Wade :0)</span></div>
<div style="color: red;">
<br /></div>
With temperatures in triple-digits on Monday, only one thing could get
the kids out of Grandma and Granpa's house in Hemingford - Goats! Better
yet, fainting goats. None of them actually fainted, though Emmy tried
her hardest. Thanks to Daddy's friends Dave, LaRonda, Sally and Emily for allowing
the kids to come out and have their personal petting zoo experience!
Like Emmy does with all four legged creatures, she showed no fear and
quickly established her dominance. She squatted down and got
eye-to-eye/horn-to-horn with two kids (which made Daddy a little
nervous) but proceeded to get a kick out of feeding and petting the
strange creatures. Sally and Emily even caught a hen and one of her
chicks for the kids to pet. The kids (as in Wades, not goats) had a
ball. Cam and Bryce felt right at home with the goats. Why shouldn't
they. They smell just like one.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Flip-Flop Refashion!</b></span></div>
<br />
With the move and everything I've had very little opportunity to be creative this summer. I was able to get some sewing done when I made all the window treatments for my house. But, that was more of a "chore" because it was something that just had to be done. I like fun, easy projects that can easily be completed in the 1.5 - 2 hours I have when the kiddos are resting. There's been little time for these projects this summer so the creative part of my sub-conscious has been feeling a bit rejected lately. Last week I finally decided I needed to do something . . . anything, as long as it was fun and semi-mindless. I was able to pop out both sets of these flip-flops during one nap time. The double bonus is that I was able to squeeze in an episode of Glee on Netflix while I worked on them :0) I followed <a href="http://draft.blogger.com/goog_9828164" style="color: red;">THIS TUTORIA</a><a href="http://www.themotherhuddle.com/tutorial-the-knot-so-hard-flip-flop-diy/" style="color: red;">L</a> and <a href="http://www.themotherhuddle.com/tutorial-key-west-flip-flops-rock-the-flop-linky/" style="color: red;">THIS TUTORIAL</a> using some old flip-flops and scrap fabric I already had laying around the house. FUN FUN FUN!!!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>My Funny Kids</b></span></div>
<br />
It's been an odd summer. The first month consisted of various appointments that I always cram into the summer. Eye Appointments, Dentist appointments, etc. The next few weeks after that we moved and we're just now feeling a bit settled. The last few weeks I've been trying to do as many "summer activities" as possible. We've hit the pool (a lot), go to the park several times a week, play tee-ball, watch movies at night, get ice cream, have had some play dates, and just hang out around the house. With three small kiddos sometimes even these fun and simple activities can be a bit stressful. There's quite a bit of bickering and whining going on around our house. About this time every summer I begin looking at the calendar and counting the days until I go back to work. This is a bittersweet thought because I really like my job and the beginning of the school year is just such a fun and exciting time to be a teacher (or a school based speech pathologist in my case). But, as much as I need a break about now I really do miss my kids when I go back to work. Even amongst all the fighting, bickering, whining and crazy activities I seriously thank the Lord at least three times a week for my babies. I truly, truly feel so blessed and I often wonder why I deserve to be living the American Dream with my wonderful family. I love these funny, quirky, little people so much!<br />

You can't find an easier recipe. They're perfect to eat with pasta instead of bread sticks. I now keep all the ingredients on hand at all times . . . just in case I get a craving!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>300th Post and Iced Chai Tea!!!!</b></span></div>
<br />
I started this blog almost 5 years ago and THIS is my 300th post!!! I decided to celebrate by featuring my very first tutorial. Some people can't live without their coffee or their chocolate. My husband needs a shot of caffeine in the form of Coke within 45 minutes of waking up. My drink of choice is Iced Chai Tea. I love it so much that I would gladly give up all other food and drink as long as I could always have my Iced Chai Tea. The problem is that they cost about 5 bucks a pop at your local coffee shop. My weekly food budget doesn't allow for that sort of frivolty. So, a few years ago I started watching very closely how the barista prepaired my drink of choice. Now I can have an Iced Chai Tea whenever I want for a fraction of the price.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here's what you start with. A powder Chai Tea mix. I like Mystic Chai which can be found at Sam's Club in either Spiced or Vanilla flavors. I've also bought it off <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Mystic+Chai+Tea&x=0&y=0" style="color: red;">Amazon</a>. You also need milk, whipped topping (optional), water and ice (not shown), and container. I found this container at Walmart and I like it because it has that gel stuff in it so you can freeze it in the freezer. I love my Iced Chai frigid, not just cold.</td></tr>

The new house is coming along! I did the kids' rooms first because I thought having their personal space ready would help them get acclimated to the new house. You might remember Emmy's room at the old house looking like <a href="http://3wades.blogspot.com/2010/11/amelias-neapolitan-flower-room-i.html" style="color: red;">this</a>. I used most of the same wall hangings etc., but we decided to try to make it more of a "big girl" room since she will be living in it for several years. So, rather than a pale pink we went a bit brighter. It might be kind of bold for some people, but my aversion for white walls makes me prefer this color over the pale pink! Check out my big girl's room!<br />

</div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Fourth of July (and funny faces)!</span></b></div><br />
We've had a very busy and FUN 3-day weekend! It seems we had a get-together of some sort both noon and night all three days of this holiday weekend. There's nothing that makes you feel more loved and blessed than great times with family and friends! This Fourth of July was even more special as it was the first one we celebrated with Emmy. Her first Fourth of July as an American citizen too! I think we celebrated in style with lots of food, fun, and fireworks!! I think the funny faces document the spirit of the weekend well!<br />

After a very long few days we are finally all moved into the new house. Thank you to our awesome family for all your help. We could not have done it without you! Love to you all!!!! I still don't feel "settled" and probably wont until we're all unpacked and everything begins to feel "normal" again. But, I have the kitchen and all the kids' bedrooms put together. Those rooms were my first priority. I can't believe how well the kids are adjusting. They love the new house. Mainly because we have a TON of kids on this street. It seems every time we step outside an instant playmate appears. In fact, this has become so convenient that I think I'm going to have to put baby-proof knobs on the doors so the kids remember to come ask me for permission to play outside. There have already been a few instances that I've been setting up a room and realize the house is a bit too quite only to find the little monkey's on the sidewalk outside. I love that they want to play outside, but this is a busier neighborhood than we're used to and for safety reasons I need to know where they are at all times. Call me a Mama Bear if you want :0) Anyway, I don't have pictures of the house up yet because I don't want to share a room full of boxes! But, I should at least get a few pictures of the kids' rooms up in a few days. Until then, I'll post some pictures of a few of our new neighbors who are just a few houses down. We knew this family before we moved here because our kids go to Children's church and AWANA together. In fact I ended up babysitting for them a few weeks ago. The boys get along great as they are exactly the same age. In fact, Cam and Dylan will even be in the same Kindergarten class next Fall!<br />

Please don't judge me for the lack of nutritional value in this particular meal I fed my children. Life's been busy, but I LOVE how my kids can find fun in the most simple things. For example, eating "Corn Dogs On The Cob" and insisting on consuming apple sauce with a straw!<br />

I had a garage sale last weekend and I sold quite a few things. I had two cribs for sale and I sold one right away before my sale "technically" even started. I thought my other one would also get snatched up right away. It's super nice and very cute. It converts from crib, to toddler bed, to full-size headboard and has the mattress included. But, then I remembered how "weird" I was as a young mother about second hand things being safe for my precious baby. So, I did a bit of research. This crib is not even four years old and still meets all safety requirements. It has never had a safety re-call. So, if you, or somebody you know is in the market for a crib give me a quick email! aaronwade@charter.net<br />
