Emery's prayer tonight

Just had to share Emery's prayer at bedtime tonight.....Emery, Owen, Jason and I were all in their room on the floor and Emery says the prayer:

"Heavenly Father....thank you for this day, thank you for mommy, daddy, Owen, Emery Quinn Huszar and I don't know his name (referring to baby brother in my belly :-) so we tell him to say baby brother which he does....then he goes on to say "thank you for our house, thank you for our food, thank you for our garage, thank you for mommy's car, thank you for daddy's red motorcycle, thank you for Jesus, in Jesus name, Amen"


Jason and I just looked at each other with pure joy...it was a sweet moment....he is growing up so quick!
Slow down Emery......we LOVE you soooo much, you are a precious child of God!

Couple more pics from our maternity shoot

Just a few more pics from our maternity photo shoot.....it was so difficult to get both boys to look at the camera and cooperate.  Owen wasn't having it at all....but like I said we made the best of it!

Music class and my bday

Yesterday was my 34th birthday!  These were taken last night before the boys went to bed.....we spent the evening at home and Jason brought home dinner. The perfect way to celebrate my birthday, at home with all my boys :-)

We went to Emery's last music class....they had a performance so all the parents could come and watch.  I was a little nervous about how Emery would do since last time he went straight for the door when he realized people would be watching him :-)  He surprised me this time....he did really well....there were only a few times when he came over to me but he joined the group again.  Emery was the youngest in the group....it is supposed to be for 3-5 year olds but the teacher made an exception.  Emery loves music class and I know he will be sad it's over now.

They sang songs about all the colors and learned about music notes, instruments, etc.....it was a great experience for him.  One funny thing to note...there was a time when the teacher had each child do a solo and it came to Emery's turn, the teacher asks, "Emery do you want to come do your solo now?" and Emery replies "NO"....so he didn't participate in the solo, but I am still proud of him :-)

Maternity pics

We decided to have some maternity pictures taken since this is our last pregnancy.  I have to say it is not easy to want to have the camera all on you when you are 9 months pregnant and feeling enormous, but I know I will look back and be happy that we captured the memories.  I was so worried about how Emery would do since historically he is not one for posed pictures, but he did great, it was Owen that was having a hard time :-)  Owen didn't want to be forced to sit at all!  So we made the best of it....he wasn't his usual smiling self, but what can you expect really from an 18 month old? 

This one was not planned, but Jason had his bike there and we thought it would be funny to see a 9 month pregnant lady on a motorcycle :-)

Thank you to our friend Amanda for all the pics.  There may be more to come.

Happy 18 months Owen!

Owen is 18 months old today!  He is such a sweetie......I love his personality these days.  He is really coming out of his shell....for the longest time, he was so content and just went with the flow and that has all changed!  He lets us know when he wants something.....he might not be talking much but he lets you know when he needs something or doesn't like something :-)  And with a smile like this, how can you resist?

Owen loves to be chased around.....we always play a game where I say "I am gonna get you Owen" and he runs away and laughs and hides until I find him.  He has the cutest smile and his giggles make me so happy.  It's hard to believe it's been 18 months since he was born.....he brings our family so much joy.  Emery loves him to pieces and is always so concerned about him and his whereabouts. 

WE LOVE YOU OWEN ANTHONY!!!

Spring has arrived!

Spring has arrived....it was a nice day full of sunshine, although it is still chilly!  The boys were really wanting to go outside since it has been raining so much lately.  They enjoyed playing on the slide and swings.

Change is hard

We moved the boys into the same room tonight....l have been putting it off and honestly dreading the whole thing.  I am so nervous about how they will do tonight but we are getting down to the wire with only 3 weeks left until baby comes.   Jason spent the evening taking apart cribs and putting them back together again to fit through doorways...we moved Owen into Emery's room with his crib that he has been sleeping in since he was born.  We don't have the monitor set up in their room, so I won't be able to look on the video and see what it is going on.  Change is always is difficult, but necessary.......cross your fingers that they both sleep tonight and don't wake each other up so this mommy can get some sleep too :-) 

I found myself getting pretty emotional about the whole thing too.....I guess you could blame it on hormones but more than anything I was reflecting back on setting up the crib for the first time when we were expecting Emery and I got pretty teary.  It's hard to believe that was 3 years ago......I just remember the feelings of excitement and anticipation and joy we felt and here we are about to experience all of it again with our 3rd baby boy...kind of crazy.  It really hit me tonight seeing the "nursery" all set up like it was when Emery was a newborn, same decor, same bedding, same crib, same dresser, same pictures on the wall, etc....lots of emotions came back to me.  Well, enough rambling from me, but wanted to share some thoughts about this change that just happend tonight. 

Early bday celebration

Today after church, we went over to my mom's for an early birthday celebration dinner.  We had a yummy cake too (red velvet :-)  Owen and Emery seemed to enjoy the icing and candles!

I love you J- I can't believe it's been 20 years since we first started dating :-)  now if that doesn't make me feel old.... geesh!!

My mom just had to get the numbers for the cake and make me feel really OLD!!

This is a horrible pic of me but the only one with nana....my eyes must have been on their way to
closing :-)

Thanks mom for such a nice dinner and cake :-)

35 weeks

I am 35 weeks and HUGE!!  I haven't posted a belly pic in a while and now I know why!  I can't believe how big I am.....you don't realize it until you see a picture of yourself.....this poor baby is running out of room.  Unfortunately I do not have height on my side and there is nowhere for him to go but OUT :-)

I am very uncomfortable these days....not sleeping well at night and many trips to the bathroom :-)  Taking care of the boys is getting more and more difficult since I have to get down on the floor and change diapers, etc.  And now since Emery is spending lots of time in the bathroom using the "potty", I am getting tired...but still trying to take in every second of being pregnant since this is our last baby.  I still LOVE feeling his every move and kick.  April 11 will be here before we know it!!

Boys & bathtime

These were taken tonight....Emery still loves his bath.  I caught him splashing around.

Owen loves to play peek-a-boo with the towel after he gets out...gotta love his wild hair :-)

Just some thoughts

So much has been on my mind lately that I need to write it all down.....April 11 is quickly approaching..it is actually 4 weeks from today!  With that around the corner, I have been thinking about Emery & Owen and how all of this going to work.  I wonder how I will handle 3 kiddos under age 3.  I have so many feelings....from anxiety to excitement.  Everyone tells you that you are outnumbered when you go to 3 and I see it, I mean we only have 2 hands right?

Emery has all of the sudden shown a huge interest in potty training, so we have been working on it for the past week.  When we are home, he is doing great, asking to go on the potty and everything, but when we leave the house, it leaves his mind :-)  So we are taking things one day at a time and we will see if he sticks with it.  I was going to try to have him potty trained before baby came, but I decided months ago that the task was too huge and didn't want to put too much pressure on myself or try to force him (which I know wouldn't work anyway :-) So here we are! 

Emery amazes me everyday with his vocabulary and his ability to speak in full sentences.  He says things sometimes and I just ask myself.... where in the world did you learn that or how do you know that already?  He is very observant and aware of his surroundings.  His behavior can also be very challenging at times, but I guess that comes with the terrible 2's!  It is hard to believe that he will be 3 in May......where did my baby boy go?  He is growing up before our eyes so quickly!  It feels like yesterday I was holding him as a newborn in my arms and rocking him to sleep.  He is so loving and sweet and constantly melts my heart when he says " I love you mommy" and gives me a big hug and kiss.  He loves Owen to pieces and plays hard with him too :-)

Owen is approaching 18 months old....he is really changing.  He is all over the place and is pretty fast these days.  He is such a character and has developed quite the personality.  He lets you know when he wants something and demands it :-)  He isn't saying much in the way of words yet...he says mama, dada, choo-choo and go but he understands everything we say to him and can follow directions pretty well.  He is such a love and will give kisses on command :-)  He points to everything and says "Da"...which is way cute.  He loves to play hide and seek and loves his blankets.

I just can't stop thinking about how their worlds are about to change.  They will be sharing a room soon which I am honestly dreading since I know they will keep each other up at times, but I am sure they will adjust over time.  I have anxiety about how I will give each child enough individual attention and how I will be able to spend enough time with them but I am sure that it will get better over time.  I am excited to meet baby boy #3 and hope that I can be the best mom that I can be.  I have said it before but I will say again, being a mother is the toughest job I have ever had hands down!  But by far the most rewarding one and I feel grateful to my heavenly father for giving me this opportunity.  I guess all I can do now is hold on for the ride!!!

So sweet

Just had to post for our memories......this was Emery's prayer tonight before bed:

Heavenly Father, thank you for this day, thank you for mommy, Owen, daddy and Emery Quinn Huszar
In Jesus name, Amen.

It is so sweet to hear your 2 1/2 year old say a prayer :-)

Too funny

This was too funny......I go into Owen's room this morning to actually wake him up from his morning nap and this is how I find him!  Feet hanging out of the crib, blankets in his face and a sea turtle on top of him sound asleep.  Don't mind the Christmas pj's :-) yes, I realize it's March!

Sound Asleep

I went into the boy's rooms tonight to check on them after they had been sleeping for over an hour and captured these pics!

Owen loves to put blankets over his head (I managed to take it off without him waking up :-)

Gotta love Emery's hair :-)

I just LOVE these precious boys!
