Whirlwind month - we moved a week ago! Bought our new home, and ta-da! Here we are. To date I am unpacked, but I am not organized. lol, does that makes sense? Give me this week and I should be ready to roll.
The actual move went pretty smoothly. I've decided it's virtually impossible to pack EVERYTHING. lol, I went back for like 3 days getting boxes of things it felt like! Cleaning supplies, random throw carpets, garbage cans, bits and pieces of things from the storage room, etc. And my mom and mother in law were throwing things into boxes as the move was happening. So it had snowed the night before and sprinkle snowed the day of, so the old house was tracked in and out of with wet shoes (definetly needed carpets cleaned). We had like 7 men helping us out so it went really smoothly.
At the new house, the upper level is carpetted so I refused to let anyone wear shoes into the house- we had enough help that I had people bring to the door, then trade off to the inside crew. despite the complaints of some of my movers, I stood firm - I wasn't going to clean the carpets in both houses! Anyways, I am a little OCD organized so every box was labelled with its contents and where it was to go in the new house, so people just took the box to the respective room and I realy didn't have to haul boxes around much after the fact.
This new house gives us 600 more square feet then the old place PLUS a garage so bringing in all the boxes it was crazy to see all the space we still had even with the boxes. I am insanely in love with our new house (despite the fact I miss our old basement, it was a bigger space to play in) - but I now understand the excitement people feel! I've been excited for people buying homes, but I find that until I've experienced it it just doesn't seem as exciting - like when people were getting married I was happy for them, but after I went through a wedding when I found out about engagments/weddings I was even more so happy for them!
The items we have to get for this home are washer/dryer (which arrives this coming Thursday), something to sit on in the mainfloor sitting room (ordered 2 leather love seats), and then as of this evening a new table - which I Was hoping we would be able to wait until next month or the month after to get as my credit card is going to max out before I know it! We haven't had any debt for a few years, so suddenly I am feeling a little poor LOL.
Oh, cleaning the other house! My mom and mother in law cleaned the upstairs, and then I went back on the Monday and cleaned with my friend Mindy for about 3 hours, then I went back Tuesday and finished. We got our damage deposit back in full (which basically bought our washer/dryer) and returned our keys just tonight actually because I had to finish one repair on Logan's wall.
Verdict: Move went well! Boys have adjusted well - Logan has had a few rough nights, but Carter's doing well. HE wil be transferred to crib once we get it built. The hardest part has been we are all now sleeping on the same level and when Logan wakes up and has one of his night time fits it now wakes up Carter! We're working on it... We are happy home owners and I look forward to many years in our home!

Disneyland Vacation
So we survived our trip! Every vacation we go on I journal 1-2 times per day to make sure I don't forget anything - even those "tiny" details are fun to remember down the road! (ex: Michael and I went to this arcade/buffet place when we were down in San Diego 2 years ago and I was able to reference it to see if there was any close by where we would be, which there wasn't but still!)
People have come up to me and asked me how our vacation went, and I don't really know how to answer that! I hum and haw and say "it was okay" because that's just it, it was just okay. There were enough things that weren't -perfect- to allow for it to be an amazing time. However! I loved being away in a nice warm climate that we were in.
Lets start with the flights. It all started a little bit crazy! We got away on time but then realized my wallet got left behind, which would leave us without my drivers licence and credit card - both of which could be important while travelling (had passports), so we turned around and were basically pushed back 15 mins, even though we are to be to the airport 2 hours ahead for international, we had only planned to be 1hr 30mins early because our flight left at 8am - so we left Cochrane at 6 to arrive at 6:30 - but push us back 15 mins it was a little bit hectic. It might not have been, BUT! when we got there the conveyer belt computer things that they check baggage went down and there was a HUGE line up for a least a hundred people waiting to get through. We were those people that they came out to find and pull from the line to the front of the line to get us through so we wouldn't miss our flight! lol THe moment we arrived at the airport we were just rush rush rush - thankfully our kids were fresh and not worn out from the trip so they just moved with the flow.
The actual flights: Carter timed his naps fairly well to sleep most of the flight there, and Logan enjoyed the first flight. We had a layover in Denver (just an hour so basically enough time to jump off the plane, eat lunch and hop on the plane). By this time it was lunch time and we had woken Logan early so he was really tired and ready to nap, so we forced him to just stay awake until we got on the plane. He slept the plane ride mostly til the end where he woke up just in time to throw up during the decent. Carter also just prior to that desroyed an outfit lol which we changed in the airplane bathroom - an experience! He was FAR to big to be laying on their change tables... but alas, we were now in Sunny California!
We went to pick up our rental car which I bought with my airmiles and learned that the insurance I bought with them was not something National car recognized so we had to buy additional insurance (still not resolved on getting our monies back). We drove a 2011 fully loaded Grand Caravan - it was pretty slick. I was covetting a little lol. We borrowed my mom's GPS which we couldn't get online right away, but finally it started working and we found the hotel! Hooray!
The Hotel was actually pretty good - it had a covered pool which we swam in the hottub a few times - even Logan wouldn't get in the cold swimming pool part! We did this trip with my sister in law Tami and thus we rented a room that had an additional bedroom - which wasn't exactly a bedroom, just a sliding door/curtain to seperate off the living room space which turned into a bedroom if wanted. Anyways, we made it work! We stayed at Peacock Suites.
We did 4 days at Disney and 2 days not. I think the most disappointing part of the trip was that Logan realy didn't love Disneyland! And he might have liked it but honestly he really is a home body. I have the HARDEST time getting him out the door - he just likes to be home with his family and friends. I might have loved it more if Logan loved it. He wouldn't go near any of the characters, which I also wondered if he would as he wouldn't go near Santa Claus so I figured there was a chance he wouldn't but hoped otherwise! In the end we basically dragged Logan and Carter around onto rides and into things, some of which he liked, some of which he didn't. It was really busy the week we were there! I have friends who have gone the past 4 years and were there the same time we were, and said they've never seen it that busy before. We waited at least 30 mins for rides (which is super hard on a 2 year old). The whole time Logan just kept asking to go back to the hotel!
I will tell you though, I was quite fascinated with certain aspects of Disney - the animatronics are incredible! The characters they portrayed looked like real poeple or real animals or real creatures! I was blown away by that. Oh, and so there were height restrictions on some rides, and the 40" rides Logan could sometimes go on and sometimes not - depending how he was standing! Sad right? My favourite rides were the "tour" rides - I am not a thrill seaker and I do not like to spin in any way shape or form. Sadly the rides were so short for the amount of time you actually waited. We made the best of it and found places Logan loved to be and really took advantage of those moments to let him play around. ...he realy enjoyed the one parade we went to, it was fun to watch!
The other 2 days: we did one trip to LA and took a Hollywood double decker bus tour. We rode the bus to Santa Monica and along the way got to see the sites. Sadly on the way home it took almost 2 hours (we didn't realize it did as big a loop on the way back) but that was the only downside! Logan loved the beach and such. So much so that we did a second day at a beach! We drove out to Huntington beach and spent0 a half day there - the other half day we did some shopping (which was my biggest excitment of going into the states). I was able to find some clothes but still notas much as I was hoping.
As for budgeting while there - we did pretty well! I only had to dip into my credit card the last day there. We bought and made our lunches and ate out at new restaurants each night (Cheesecake FActory, Red Robins, IHop, Captain Kidd Buffet and Captain Hooks cove in Downtown Disney).
Carter did really well as long as he was being held. He was teething something fierce a few of the nights (it looked really painful in his mouth, really swollen). He loved being in the carrier, and it took him afew days after getting home to get used to just being on the floor again lol. My boys went to bed at 7 or 8 every night per our usual routine, and they mostly slept really well. I typically stayed at the hotel with them as there wasn't any way I could leave Carter specifically because he's truly a mamas boy and there are other details as to why but this blog isn't for that :) ...anyways, he really just was along for the ride and did as I expected he would. I was hoping hed sit in stroller more but no such luck.
Logan. After he was sick on the plane, he broke out in this awful ezcema all over his body. I wasn't sure what it was - and after talking to my mom we've come to the conclusion that it was from stress. People say an allergic reaction but he HONESTLY didn't eat anything... like, he wouldn't eat because he said he had a bit of a stomach ache so he really just didn't eat that day. Also, people break out in Hives from stress, why not ezcema? Anyways, with that and already havingn a cold to start, and then add different elevation, etc, etc he just started out a little rough. And the tantrums. Holy Cow. We had 1-3 full blown freak out tantrums per DAY. It was quite an experience. The one that was the worst he was just so out of control that I had to sit on a bench and hold him screaming. I even had people come up and tell me "your'e a good mom" "you're doing a good job" "don't worry, it's just a phase" ...lol, I surprisingly kept my cool and I wasn't even really embarassed, I just wanted him to stop! I was prepared to sit there all day.. lol. That was the worst day - he realy just didn't want to be at the park.
Verdict: Would I Go back to Disneyland? Nah. It wasn't our thing. I'd much rather stick to all inclusive beach resorts or cruises. Logan would enjoy that more, I would enjoy that more, and I can't say for sure but I think Michael would too (he gets stressed out when Logan acts like a 2 year old lol duh, he's 2!). I don't think Logan was too young, I just think it's not his fortay. I don't have a crazy desire to have my kids experience Disneyland, so truly I doubt we would go back unless someone was paying our way and taking us.
Would I go back to California? Definetly! I actually said to Michael him and I should do a weekend trip there sometime (like a 4 day weekend) and see some of the LA sites and beaches that we can't enjoy with kids.

First day on solids
Despite my best efforts, I took the plunge today and gave Carter solids 3 weeks sooner than originally planned. I really wanted to wait to 6 months but honestly I had to listen to my child. He is nursing 5-7+ times a day and 4 times at least through the night - and still just seems hungry. So I though I think its time to try something more substantial. He nursed today at 11:30, then I fed him rice cereal at 12:30 because he was fussing and he settled right down. Then he fell asleep at 1:30 until 4:45 and its now 5 and he has yet to ask for milk.
Dont worry, i'm not naive enough to believe this is how it'll be here on out but I am curious to see over the coming week if theres a continual change or not. I will only feed him cereals though until we're back from Disneyland, and hopefully only do 1 feeding of solids this week, then twice a day next week.
I am gonna hafta research feeding schedules, I dont remember how often and when a person should do feedings! oi, so much work being a mommy lol ;) jk!

Summer Fun
After Disneyland and the move, we have already a fun packd summer ahead of us!
1. Logan's birthday. Have a great bday party plan tentatively for him, which I won't mention yet in case it doesn't pan out.
2. We purchased Calaway Park passes - park is a 20 min drive away and all our friends bought them too, enough said!
3. We will be purchasing Zoo passes this year (likely in March or April). Have to go 2 times to pay for the pass, 3 times to realy make it worth it! (Also friends have bought them)
4. Fairwell Family Reunion in August!! This year I hope to make it to it and not end up in the hospital again (ectopic pregnancy).
5. Annual Magrath Days celebration weekend
6. Camping, camping, camping! Aside from reunion, we hope to get out at LEAST 2 times - 3 would be the ideal though!
7. Gardening and yard care of our yard! I am so excited to rip out a bunch of the stuff and replant things that I like. We also have raised beds that I think will be perfect for a garden.
8. Logan will likely be put into a day camp at his new preschool.
9. Logan will also likely try out a new program at Spray Lakes that teaches sports to 3 year olds.
10. Newspaper route - plan to bike it and hopefully lose 10lbs doing so! :D lol (I have a HUGE hill to bike up and down to get from my house to the route)
That's all I can think of off the top of my head! The beauty of living here is that people often get together for fires and bbqs either at people's homes or at Allen Bill Pond close by. I just am super pumped for the spring/summer of 2012! It will be a BLAST!

Preschool
I made the decision to put Logan into Preschool in September. I actually was really leaning towards -not- because frankly as i've decided to do homeschooling, preschool doesn't really seem to fit that bill lol. However! I do have my child's best interest at heart and I think he would really love preschool.
The deciding factors for me were: 1. We qualify for subsidy (more to come on this), 2. the preschool is RIGHT behind our new home, 3. the teacher is a member of my ward, and 4. Logan loves learning!
So the subsidy part: This is going to totally bring out my nieveity (sp?) but I didn't think there was subsidy available for ...middle income families (which is where we are), I always figured that things that like were only available to "poor" people (and I say that with truly the utmost respect). When I found out that I can get up to $100 a month towards preschool, it made the option financially do-able!
I signed Logan up for Tues/Thurs afternoons from 12-3. She does indoor/outdoor activities, field trips (including fire hall, various parks, a school bus, the zoo, etc), then letter/number recognition, reading/writing time, weather, crafts, etc. I don't doubt that I could (and will continue to) teach Logan these things, but honestly that's not why I am sending him to preschool! I actually feel badly for Logan right now because he seems really bored at home... Carter has been really clingy recently and needy of my attention, and even when he's not Logan just doesn't like to go outside and do anything! I worry about that and I think a couple hours a week of structured play and time away would be great for him! ALSO, I feel bad that I can't give Carter undivided attention sometimes, and this will be a perfect opportunity to spend time with him :) It's perfect timing for my life. This preschool has summer camps also this coming summer so we will likely sign up for 1 or more camps as well.
I'm pretty excited. I hummed and hawed about it, but in the end I feel really great about my decision! Logan had a really fun time checking out the place this past weekend - lots of fun toys and games and it's a great set up! The location couldn't be better. Honestly, if it wasn't so close I probably wouldn't have done it LOL. I say that because since I can walk to and from it in probably 10 mins round trip - lets say Carter is sleeping, I don't have to wake him up to go and pick up Logan! I have a hard time waking my babies so that is truly a huge benefit for me.
Looking forward to the summer!

Can't look in the mirror
Ugh, I can barely stand to look at myself in the mirror these days! Im not gaining weight per say but I am chubbing up in areas of my body that I haven't ever had to deal with before (my face is chubbier and my stomach). I've always carried my weight (and still do) in my hips/thighs/butt but now it's other areas too. Ugh, not sure if it's age or a hormonal shift in my body... ever since my surgery and Carter's pregnancy everything is completely different for me!
Sadly self image is very important to me. I almost feel like I have to repent for complaining about my body so much! I am VERY scared because I have little to no self control it seems, and i'm at the half way mark of my breastfeeding 'life'- and i'm sure i'm not gaining extra weight because of the BF. I need to figure out a way to get into a state of mind where I can reject the cookie or cake or snack and just eat healthy proteins and vegetables. Yes I -like- cookies, cakes and snacks but my body will never be where I want it to be if I continue to eat them, and eat them in excess!
I have asked a good friend of mine to help me this week coming in particular to follow a food plan that i've come up with (I've attached it below here as well so I can be accountable to my blog lol weird huh?) ..Anyways, wish me luck.
