Samantha


** I started this post… oh last week, and got tired. 🙂 But I had to finish it, so here ya go… GG has jumped straight into the phase of ‘yum, that looks like candy!’ and is popping everything in his mouth.  Like CRAZY. EVERYTHING. So the other night, I pop him in his high […]

Potty Training and CIO

by Kristi on March 18, 2009 · 8 comments


Since it was supposed to be 80 degrees, I decided to throw Sam in panties and play outside.  Basically we’ve had pee in the potty about once or twice in the past year.  We ask her everyday if she wants to GO on the potty and she always says NO, so we hardly do it.  […]

Weight Loss Update for February

by Kristi on March 5, 2009 · 3 comments


Well, this month was my first month with no loss.  The first two weeks I was doing pretty good and down 1.5 but the middle of the month hit and we went on our trip and then everyone got sick.  The last two weeks of the month I was literally looking for sweets multiple times […]

My Name is Changing to Mommy

by Kristi on February 20, 2009 · 5 comments


“Mommy, where are we going?” “On some errands.  Hey, you know you can still call me Momma? I like when you call me Momma.” “I like to call you Mommy.” “Oh, well that’s ok. If you ever want to call me Momma though, that would be nice.” “No, I like calling you Mommy.” *sniff* It’s […]

Confident Children

by Kristi on January 29, 2009


My BabyCenter newsletter popped into my email box a few days ago and I saved it as the main article seemed pretty interesting, titled “Ten Ways to Build your Child’s Self-Esteem”.  I just took the time now and if you have preschool aged children, go take a read through.  It’s obvious (as most self-help things […]

by Kristi on January 18, 2009 · 14 comments


I know, you really can’t cure eczema and diaper rash. But we are doing a great job on Sam lately! She has suffered from light eczema on her knees, feet, elbows, and other places for pretty much all her life. They are not bad spots but they itch and now that she can speak she […]

Doctor Appointment

by Kristi on January 7, 2009


“What are we doing today, Momma?” “We are going to the mall.” “What are we doing after that?” … (This is sooo common every day. This conversation can go on and on and on and on…) “Then, I’m going to the Doctors while you and G stay with Grandma Nana.” “Oh. You are going to […]

Hair

by Kristi on December 23, 2008 · 5 comments


Sam came home yesterday with a cute barret that pinned her bangs away from her face.  It was cute. My Mom did it, so of course it was cute. Hubby says, why can’t you do that?? Well, NOW I can do that.  Since someone ELSE did that.  But I’m just not a HAIR person. I […]

So, Santa came to visit Sam, Griff, Raechelle, and CharChar over at Krysta’s Mom’s house on Saturday! SHOCKER! Yea, apparently Yorba Linda has this thing where you can have Santa come to your house for 15 minutes. Seriously CUTE!

Moving to Disneyland

by Kristi on December 12, 2008 · 2 comments


Sam did not take her nap today.  Actually, neither did G.  They both thought that snoozing (briefly) in the car on the way home from Krysta’s was their nap.  They were wrong, but whatever. Early bedtime for them! Sam did have quiet time in her room and after an hour when she started calling my […]

by Kristi on December 9, 2008 · 4 comments


It’s Sammie’s THIRD BIRTHDAY today! I can’t believe my baby is 3.  She is so adult now but I have to catch myself remembering that she is still a baby.  My baby! She has huge conversations with us, wants to always know what we are talking about, is starting to tell jokes, and always saying […]

Funny Sayings

by Kristi on October 10, 2008


Carolyn (my Mom’s bf) was asking me tonight if I write down the funny things Sam says. I haven’t been really, but the cool thing is that she is JUST starting to say really funny things. 1) A few weeks ago she started noticing when we are ‘up high’ in the car, like on a […]
