This weekend our family grew 2 more! No I did not have my baby yet! Instead the next best thing happened,I just got legal custody of my 9 year old niece and 15 year old nephew! It has been very stressful but now they will actually have a real home to finish growing up in. I am so happy to have them in our family and that they will finally be able to have the love and attention they need but I am also very scared,I am so young and not at all experianced in raising children, although my own 2 year old is turning out just fine I think!What I mean is  being a mother to more then one and on a full time basis. I guess all I have to do is look to God for help so I will just go day by day... Now the big question: Does anyone out there have any advice, tips,comments,etc for me? I know many of you who blogg on here have more then one Child and am sure that someone out there can give me some advice. Do you all think I did the right thing? I hope I did,if I wouldn't have took them in myself I would have had to live with them going to their real father(who isn't much of a father)or another relative(I can't say any other relatives could be much better)or last foster homes.Was I selfish,have I gotten myself into something too deep? Well I guess I will wait to see what some of you have to say,since I am pretty clueless. Thanks for reading...

Lastnight my son came up to me and said"Mommy I can't breath" I thought what in the world! His nose was all green and orange! For some reason he had gotten a notion to stick mini m&m's all up his nose!And I mean that little nose was crammed,I spent around half an hour digging melting chocolate out his tiny nostrals! Here is a picture I took really fast in between panicking and laughing!

For Thanksgiving I cooked My own meal on Wed. and surprised my Husband with a big meal when he came home from work! Then on Thur. We went to my Inlaws to eat and visit since everyone was going to be in this area all at once.Now keep in mind I don't get along with my inlaws so it was a DAY!!! Here are some nice Pictures that turned out nice so I thought I would share them. All in all the day wasn't too bad I suppose!

Today I was tagged to share 9 weird things about me,it's going to be hard tho. because I don't think I am that weird!-But I will try,So here I go...

1. I am 21 and already married,own our own home and have one baby boy already and one on the way.
2. I would rather suffer from pain than complane,take a prescription or go to the doctor.I had back pain for 3 days while I was pregnant with my first baby and didn't complane because I am not like that, and here I was in back labor!!! 
   
3. I am scared to be alone at night because I am actually afraid of the dark!
4. I will not poop,fart or burp in public.My inlaws and friends have never witnissed me to do any of those.My husband never did eather untill this past year and we've been together for 5 years!!! 
5. I went to school for cosmetology(and I can't even do my own hair!),I also went to school for massage therapist and medical office assistant and don't even do any of thoses for a career now,instead I am a stay at home mom.
6. I will hardly buy anything new in a store,I shop at goodwills etc.Everything is just as nice and new just cheaper!
7. I sometimes pee in the shower if I take a shower!
   
8. Every morning when I wake up I have to vacume,I can't stand when the floor is dirty.
9. I hate folding socks,so when they are washed I leave them in a basket and when someone needs socks in the morning they have to go through the basket and find their own socks.

Hello Everyone,I found something out today and I was very disappointed and disturbed about it and wanted to know someone elses thoughts on the subject before I go crazy.Ok here it is; I know a couple who isn't very well off,don't have a jobs because they are very lazy,and depend on welfare, and not at all very good parents,they already have a 6 year old that was taken away from them a few years ago because of abuse and neglect,now they have a 6 month old little boy and are very terrible parents,now I can't say if they hit or abuse him but I know they lose their temper and can't stand to hear him cry so they close him up somewhere etc.He doesn't wear warm clothes if any atall sometimes,doesn't get feed all the time,isn't allowed to have toys and boy can I go on,well to go on with the subject I just found out they are expecting twins in March,a little boy and girl.Now I am still a Christian in learning,so what I wanted to know is why would God let something like this go on knowing they don't deserve children?There are people out there who want children so bad but can't have any or people like me who have many miscarrages before a maricle finally happens and finally have a successful pregnancy,why does God let things like this happen??? Why does he give babies to people who don't want them or to bad people and no babies to people who really want them and are wonderful parents???Can someone please help me understand Gods plans in all of this?Thank you in advance!

 Hello Everyone!This Picture of My Husband and I was taken this past Easter at The Pittsburgh Flower Show.While I was getting the hang of Blogging  I thought I would introduce our Little Family starting with the two of us!

My husband is a great guy,a good father and a good provider,we are both 21,I am a half year younger!We have been together for about 6 years(Yes, HighSchool sweethearts!) and have been married for 2 of those years this past August. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works at General Electric,he's been there for 2 years now. I love to read,cook,bake,sew and be with my son,my husband loves classic cars,redoing cars and putting together plastic modles,we have shelves of modles and we have had our share of classic cars and I can garentee many more of both  to come! Well I think that is really all for now,I can't think of anything else!

Now this Is Our Pride and Joy! Meet Derek Lee! This picture was taken the end of this summer so it is still pretty recent.As you can tell he loves our bike and even more riding it!Derek will be 3 on Feb.22! He loves to play with match box cars(do you tell why!)and he absolutly loves to color and draw!He can keep himself busy for hours with just a notebook and some crayons! He also loves to cook and bake with me! He can already make brownies,with some help of course! Derek also loves the outdoors,I have a hard time keeping him in! Overall he is a wonderful kid and so easy to love! I better stop there or I could go on and on!!! Here is Derek laughing really hard!

The last couple months my soon to be three year old has been having tantrums ,yelling at people and hitting.I don't know whether it is because of the new baby that will be arriving soon and all of the attention that is going towards that or if it is something else.I knew people talk about the terrible twos and blame it on that, but to tell you the truth I thought he already went through that awhile ago.Now we are not the kind of parents that yell,I very rarely yell I just go straight to spanking his butt ,hitting his hand and trying to explaine what he did wrong etc.That worked for awhile now he will actually hit back or yell and nothing fazes him,and when it does we go through it all over because he will have another tantrum.We do everything with him,I am always letting him help me and be included in everything,when we go some place we always take him too,there are very few times I have had someone watch him,so it can't be because he is left out,can it? Yes we have a new baby coming but we have involved him in all the preperations and excitement.He is not spoiled,He has toys,yes,but not an over abundance of them and when we go to a store we hardly get him anything unless it is a special occasion or he really deserves it and then we explane why he is getting something,so what could it be? I have looked at many websites and books by doctors,thearapists etc.including this one I have included.http://www.babyconnection.com/toddler/toddevelopment/11550/ So far nothing seems to be working or some things they say to try or do is totally out of line or quite disturbing,I am now trying this site and I don't know yet if we are getting any results.So I was wondering Does anyone have any ideas,tips,advice or success stories that you can share with me that will help me,so I can get a head start on these tantrums before the baby arrives,I do not want to take the chance of the baby accidently get hurt by his big brother or learning how to throw tantrums early!  Now don't get me wrong eather,I have a wonderful little boy he is very polite,loving,and very well behaved usually ,it is just now and then on occasion that I don't know what he's thinking,and it is hard to express himself I think because he still can't talk alot.Please let me know,and thank you for listening to a young mother who needs advice!!!
