the previous two posts were by my little guy while I was making dinner. ha ha.. I am not deleting them. They are totally cute :D And someday when I have my blog printed, I will put those pages in his book.
I wish my camera was closer. He (Jammin) is sitting on the stairs right now in his Thomas the train undies, playing with his geo trax and talking to himself. Where is my video camera when I need it? :D He is awesome.

Check out this site.... great mommy site AND she is doing a g dipe contest! Yay. so excited for this especially since I just bought a pack of gcloth for my g's. Livie just moved out of her small FB's, so I am down 6 diapers from my stash, and BOY OH BOY is my washer feeling it! I am still washing my gcloth, so I can't use the g's just yet (I am out of flushies) so when you look at that, I am actually down NINE dipes from my stash, AND most of my CD cash is g-o-n-e. I found a lady to convert my bum genius, so pretty soon I will be down ANOTHER 8 diapers for a week or so while she converts them to snaps. I may actually have to buy sposies which makes me unhappy :( wahhhh. I promised Jeremy we would save $$ on cloth, and right now I am not doing that. Boo. Anyway, enough of my diaper drama. Go check out Chelsea's blog for all the other super fun stuff!

Is summer over yet?
This has easily been the most 'eventful' time in my life. Maybe the most eventful year. It started off with me getting sick, which in turn got my baby girl sick, which led to a super fun call to 911 and Jeremy wondering what the hell he was going to do as a single father in the military with a newborn to boot. That led to a 3 day stint in the scariest place on earth; David Grant Medical Center. A month later, an very painful and un fun surgery with a longer than normal recovery, and the loss of an internal organ. Not one I was attached to or anything, but still kind of a big deal. I think things were pretty quiet till mid year. At least nothing stands out right now. Ahh.. enter summer. June 2nd. Easily the worst day of my life. I will leave it at that, cause I don't do the spillage of drama, but this was one speed bump I wasn't sure I would get around. Anyway, slowly, I am getting around it, so that's an upside to this year. Oh, another fabulous upside? My BFF is going to be a mama for the 2nd time, and it's to a little GIRL!! Yae Katie and Ben for giving me something to look forward to and someone to spend lots o money on! tee hee hee... Well, late June rolls around and then comes my road trip to South Dakota. Still can't believe we made it through that one in tact. A total of 48 hours in a car with a baby and a toddler! God was definantly helping out on that trip :) since we got back, things have been a little... well.. shall we say, sticky? Let's just say the transition from 4 kids to 5 has been a little hairy for us all.
The really neat things? Well, besides the announcement of baby girl Gonzalez...MY baby started preschool! What a tough thing for mommy, but so great for Ben. He loves it. He loves having friends, and doing crafts and learning new things. He is doing so great. I am starting back on campus to get my damn degree finished before I am 50 friggin years old, and after two LONG years, Ben got called off the waiting list which means I can take day classes and have the evenings with my family. No one excpet for Olivia will even notice I am in class. She is going to be in the daycare while I am in class. Just thinking about that makes me cry, but it's only an hour a day- 3 hours a week. We will be ok. Right?!
Speaking of Olivia! She is growing by leaps and bounds! She has outgrown her small diapers and is officially a medium. *tear* She is crawling, standing up, trying to walk, talking ALL the time and cutting teeth left and right. Its crazy. The year was so insane I feel like I missed out on all this neat time with her. Me being sick, her getting sick because of me. The time in the hospital and recovering... I really missed alot. Thank god for Jeremy. He was home for 2 months! No wonder she is a daddies girl. Seriously, seeing my husband with his daughter is the sweetest thing I have ever witnessed. He is so in love with her. I love it! She will have that daddy daughter thing I always longed
for. I am so glad I can give her that. Well, with the help of my hubs anyway :P
So as it stands right now, I am looking forward to the summer ending and my routine going back to normal. I need some normalcy and relaxation. Otherwise I am blgging form the psych ward. :)

About Me
- Jamie H.
- Who am I? I am me :) Plain and simple. I am first and always, a mother. I have 3 amazing boys who light up my life, and 1 beautiful, perfect, and equally amazing baby girl. Before my girl came along, I was all about the fast and easy way around. Living in fast forward if you will, and yes, I stole that from Kenny. Now a days, I have slowed down a little and am taking time to enjoy my family in a way I only dreamed of, and am loving every second. Even when those seconds are CRAZY. I cloth diaper, make my own baby food, and am revamping the whole gang so that we can live healthfully, and happily. These kids are stuck with me for a really long time, so we might as well make the most of it :) I am married to my lobster, Jeremy and we have a pretty great life. I am also a student, pounding away little by little to get my nursing degree. Maybe someday, I will be able to add the nurse hat to my resume. In a nutshell, that's me.
