I need a hobby.

We went to Dave and Sonja's house this last weekend because Justin was helping get hay. Kerri came with us and Jordan and Taylor had a blast. They rode vinny, Jordans tractor and just played all weekend long.

I told Jordan to give Logan her binky and this is what she did, haha!

Look at how long Jordan's hair is getting! I really want to chop it all off, but Justin says no becuase he loves her long hair!

So I have decided that I want to start doing a craft night once or twice a week with Jordan and Taylor. Kerri and I went to Michaels yesterday and we got some good stuff. We got construction paper, these cool wood masks for halloween that we are going to have the kids paint and then we'll put them in the flower bed, some magnets that they can paint, scissors, and other cool stuff. Last night we set up the little table in our living room and we gave them some paper, scissors and stickers and let them go to town. It was their first time using scissors so it was pretty fun. Jordan LOVED it. I am very nervous that she is going to try to cut her hair so I need to watch her VERY closely with those scissors!

I have decided that once I'm done with school that I want to take a photography class and get a really nice digital SLR camera. People have been asking me to take pictures for them a lot lately but I just dont think that my camera is good enough. Its just a little point and shoot cannon, nothing special. I really want some professional equipment so that I can maybe do photography as a side job or a hobby.

I got to take the day off of school today because we didnt have a babysitter. So I am just going to hang out with Jordan and Logan. I'm also babysitting Taylor today because her babysitter was too sick so Jordan and Taylor are playing right now while Logan naps in her swing. Today is going to be a busy day. I am going to do 2 loads of laundry, sweep and mop, re-organize the kids play area, get my hair done, go to the in-laws, go get my new PartyLite candles, then come home and study for 2 tests that I have tomorrow at school.

Tons of pictures!

New hair cut!
Getting big!

Jordan is a huge help!

She loves her swing! :)

She loves playing dress up.

Yikes, I'm a Senior Now!!

I just had my 1st day of my last mod. Which means I only have six more weeks left of school,then 160 hours of an externship. I can't believe it! I am getting so excited to actually be working and bringing home some money!! I only plan to work part time so that we dont have to put the kids in day care. Its so weird to think that last year at this time I was working at a collection agency and was just wishing there would be a way for me to go to college and do something with my life. I am so thankful that there was a way for me to do this.
Logan is getting so big, she had a check up last week and weighed almost 10 pounds! She has almost doubled her birth weight. She's a healthy little girl! She is starting to smile a lot and be awake during the day more often.
Jordan is a big girl now! We FINALLY got rid of the binky. Thanks to kerri! I went to go get my hair done last week and Kerri was watching her and put her to bed with out it and ever since then we have just taken it away. I am SO proud of her :) She also is doing awesome with potty training and is using a big girl cup now. We only use sippy cups in the car and when we are out and about.
Justin is getting really into fishing lately. He plans on going fishing with some buddies from work soon. Hunting season is coming up too, so I am excited for that. Hopefully he gets a deer this year. I can't wait to go camping!
Alright well I promised pictures last time so here are some for you to enjoy :) These are from when Logan was about 2 1/2 weeks old.">

Update

We are finally into a routine and it feels great. I'm back to school and all is well. Its a lot easier than I thought it would be. I'm still breastfeeding, which is going great! (And free too! haha!)

Jordan is adjusting well to being a big sister and not being the baby anymore. We are still working on potty training, and its going really good. The only time she is in diaper is at nap time and bed time. I can't wait to have that kid totally out of diapers!! She is very excited about being a big girl and wearing big girl undies.

Logan is getting huge! She must be almost 8 pounds now. She's a month old already and its going WAY too fast!! I just wish she would stay tiny forever. She only wakes up once at night to eat and then goes right back to sleep. Usually I can sleep while I feed her so I'm not even sleep deprived at all!

A couple of weeks ago we went camping in Conconully. It was fun, I just wish I wouldn't have been so sore, it wasnt even 2 weeks after my c-section. Justin and Jordan had a blast though. They went out on the boat, Jordan got to play with her cousin, Dylan and Justin did a lot of tubing! Logan and I just sat back at camp relaxing most of the time. We did go to the fair though and Jordan took her first ride on the ferris wheel and the kids roller coaster. She loved it!

I only have 4 pounds to lose until I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but am shooting for 10. It feels great! It took me almost 6 months to get to this point after I had Jordan! I can wear most of my old jeans again. I feel like me again, haha.

Well that is all for now, I'll post pictures later.

Logan is here!

Logan Grace Tutino made her way into the world at 7:45pm on Tuesday, July 21st. She weighed 5lbs 14oz and 18.25 inches long (1lb smaller than Jordan and 0.25 inches longer.) She was 3 weeks early, 2 weeks early from the scheduled c-section. I went into labor at 1am on the 21st and they finally did the c-section around 7. She ended up having to be in the NICU for almost 2 days because her lungs weren't all the way developed and she had fluid in her lungs. She had to be hooked up to oxygen and all these tubes, it was so sad! She is 100% better now and is doing great! At first, we weren't even sure if we would be able to take her home from the hospital when I was discharged but in the end she got to come home with us!

Jordan absolutely loves her. She LOVES being a big sister and helping change diapers and sometimes I pump and let her feed Logan a bottle. She's all about being the big girl now, its really cute!
