Welcome Baby Easton

Dear Baby Easton -
Welcome to this crazy family little boy.  It’s a crazy, wonderful, special little family we have here and we couldn’t be happier that you are now a part of it.  I wasn’t sure how another baby of our could be as beautiful and special as the two we have already, but boy did you sure exceed [...]

A Girl can Never have TOO many SHOES!

She’s a girl after my own heart.  She does own more pairs of shoes than her mama, which is totally not right – but hey, she’s my one and only princess so I guess that’s justification enough.

Brooklyn LOVES shoes. And when I say LOVES, I mean LOVES!  And she really isn’t into tennis shoes or [...]

Swimming Sessons

Wyatt has been taking swimming lessons all summer – he calls them swimming sessons.  ”L”s are tough.  When we started out the summer, Wyatt LOVED the idea of pools and swimming, but once he got around the water he was terrified.  I guess terrified if a strong word to use, he didn’t burst into tears [...]

I Sense a Change Coming….

This morning I slept in until 8 am – it was so wonderful.  When I woke up I felt refreshed and glorious. Then I attempted to roll my 9 month pregnant belly out of bed and didn’t feel so refreshed anymore.  It then occurred to me that sleeping in, although a rarity as is, will [...]

Written a week ago – just posted……NOW

I’ve had a bit of writer’s block lately.  I’ve also had “talking block” as well.  I have lots of things to say, and lots of stories to tell…..but when I start to tell them, I think “Ugh. I’m to tired to get in to this”  Seriously.  Too tired to tell a story. That doesn’t sound [...]

Neither Here Nor There…..

A few blurbs about what has been going on here at the Hustad’s recently, since I have not had the time or energy to write a full post lately!

This morning while driving to school from swimming lessons Wyatt said to me, MOM! You haven’t given me a hug yet today! This was true, and I was [...]

The Baby Documentation

I am tired. And when I say tired, I mean TIRED. I’m getting plenty of sleep at night, that’s not the problem. It’s when I look at how busy we are going to be in the next few months, that I think I’M TIRED. June is proving to be a busy month already and with [...]

Shelties Update

So I was thinking that I really haven’t mentioned the puppies lately.  Sophie and Mia were our first “daughters” as Chris likes to call them, and they have kind of taken a back seat to the plethora of children we are bringing into the house.
When we brought Wyatt home, the dogs were very unsure of what to [...]

Here Comes Trouble

I think my tough little cookie might be getting too tough. I got word from daycare this week that Brooklyn is having to be separated from the other kids at times.

The Cure-All

I love the seeing the world through the eyes of a four-year-old.
In Wyatt’s world, a new car costs EIGHTY-NINE DOLLARS!  So does a new lego set. Wyatt has become a little money-obsessed and wants to know what everything costs.  I try to tell him the truth, or at least estimate to my best ability (which, let’s face [...]
