Boen

Boen is such a thrill to have around... just wanted to blog on some of his latest...

Boen: Mommy I filled my cereal bowl wayyyyyy to full
Me: What are you talking about???/
Boen:.... runs into his room and hides
Me: Go into kitchen to see that about a half of gallon of milk is on the kitchen floor surrounding the overflowed bowl


Tracy stayed the night on Thursday night and on Friday morning when Boen woke up, he ran downstairs to see her, but she was gone to school. He ran back upstairs frantically screaming "mommy aunt Tracy disappeared! Her cloths are on the bed and she is gone!!!!!!"

Boen: Mommy your crazy
Me: Please call me silly instead :)

There was a episode on Nick Jr and they were talking about taking trips. It kept asking where you wanted to go on a trip... to which Boen always answered "the supermarket" lol

I wish I could remember more, he is so funny all of the time. I am so blessed! Hope I made ya smile :) Gods Blessings

Blessed Easter!

Wow, I think this is the longest I have ever gone with out looking at my and anyone else blog! You can tell my life has been really crazy!!!! This quarter I am taking Chemistry. So far so good, glad I saved it for last because each science class and math class touched a little bit of chemistry. I finally have an Easter off so I can enjoy it with my family and run our churches Easter breakfast personally instead of on the phone through other people!! Boen is as naughty as ever. Always surprising us and keeping us young! He has been particularly naughty these last few months. We have him past the flushing everything down the toilet phase, past the coloring on the walls phase(i think) but now it is the stickers all over the house, take toys from our little brother, and poop in the closet phase (In his pants... hiding in the closet that is) We never quite know what he is going to say or do, but it is usually good for a laugh, eventually. Tobias is crawling everywhere. He is into everything, sticking everything into his mouth. Never knew how hard it would be baby proofing a house when your 2yr old un proofs it as fast as you can proof it! Thank God for playpens. They are both sleeping in there room now. Most of the time. It is crazy having just Dan and I in the bed. It feels so big now! And crazy not getting kicked in the face at 3 the morning each night! Dan is hard at it at his new job. He is now at US Corrugated. It is a factory that makes food industry boxes. He is doing maintenance and loving it. He is working 6 days a week, 10 hours a day though, so he is pretty exhausted these days. Hopefully soon they will be caught up and the mandatory overtime will be done. It is in Seward so he is saving 18 miles of commute a day. God has truly blessed us. It just goes to show the truth in his word. If you are faithful to him, he is so faithful to you. Proverbs 16 3-4 says Commit to the Lord all that you do and your plans will succeed. The Lord works out everything to its proper end. I love this verse. It is so comforting to me that no matter what, as long as I love the Lord and try with all that I am to live my life for him... I will succeed. I cant fail. He will take care of me. Praise God!! Happy Easter to you all. We love ya!!

Happy New Year

Well, as usual I have not yet gotten out any Christmas Cards so for those of you checking up on me and my family on this blog I will give what update I can.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!!! 2010 was a year full of blessings for me and my family and I pray 2011 is just as good! Boen is 2 and a half, and very trying! He is so very two providing us with numerous temper tantrums, lots of "I can do it myself", and of course lots and lots of laughs. Each day he learns something new-- whether it be a word, a new rule, or what babies are like he soaks everything up like a little spounge. He has an amazing vocabulary for a two year old and is soo smart. I give credit to the reading, he loves to be read to sometimes 2 and 3 books a night. Overall he is healthy and growing and a wonderful big brother to little Tobias. Tobias is now a straping young 4 month old. He is starting to teeth, trying to roll over, and loves to tell us his baby stories. He is a lot like me I think. I see alot of the Mundt side in him and he just seems to act like me. I feel a special bond with him unlike the one I have with Boen, It feels crazy to say it like that, but it is true. They are two very different little boys from day one of being pregnant to now, they have been completely different. I love them both so very much. Just today Boen was playing the three little pigs with his Buzz Lightyear tent. Him and Toby (toby was in the bouncy seat) would be in the tent and then he would run out the back of the tent to the front so he could be the big bad wolf and blow the tent down. Toby would laugh and smile at him... I thought at first it was going to scare him, but he seemes to so adore Boen and loved that he was playing and having fun with him! Its momments like that that bring me so much joy and happiness. Between Boen waking up and looking at Toby saying "Good morning sunshine" to the late night feedings with just me and my little Toby to Boen begging me for one more bedtime story and when I give it to him he looks at me and says "I love you mommy" I am just the most blessed woman in the world!!!
I am still working at the hospital in Seward. I mainly work in admissions but am starting to help on the nurses station. I started school back up in January after taking two quarters off to have Tobias and am doing ok. I think I will be fine jumping back into it now with two little ones at home, I was really worried at first but God has given me what I need to keep on going on my journey to becoming a nurse.
Dan is still at Lincoln Industries, but is looking for something different. His schedule changed middle of last year and he has just dreaded work ever since. Not only that he is in constant exposure to chemicals and for safety sake we would both like to see him in a safer envirerment. But he has to find something first, so we will see. His contract with the National Guard is up in Febuary. We are still unsure if he will re- up or not. We have been praying alot and so far, we feel really uneasy about it. Dan says everytime he pray's about it he gets this horriable feeling. He has never had that before. Things are getting really scary in our country, and now would be a terriable time for me to be with out a husband and our boys with out their dad. Not sure what will happen. Well, I am sure you are getting ready for this to end, if you have even made it this far.... No complaints from the Schweitzer 4, over all things are really really wonderful! Lots of love- Us ps I posted some new pics from Christmas and Boen and Toby playing :)

Baptism & Thanksgiving

Well this is proof that I have been a bad mommy.... Two very big occasions and I did not get one picture with my camera, so I am taking these pics from other people... hopefully you still enjoy them. I am so upset with myself for not taking one pic at my family's Thanksgiving, I am hoping Gina got some so I can take them from her, but I have nothing as of yet from that!!

Time is flying!

Well it has been 6 weeks since Tobias came into our world and wow how things have changed. No one could have prepaired me for life with two boys! Who knew how much more difficult things were going to be!!! I am working on trying to build up some patience when dealing with a 2yr old on little sleep. Trying to learn how much time I am going to need to get to one place on time~ I have yet to succeed at that. One of the most frustrating things of all is dealing with my darling DOG! I can not believe how needy he has become, it is wayyy worse than it ever was with Boen. At least he is not eating every baby item he can get his teeth on. Well now that that is out of the way.... how my life has been BLESSED since I have two amazing little boys. Even though Boen is the onryest boy on the block, in the county.... to see him kiss Toby five million times a day and sing to him and love on him brings me so much joy. To have those little newborn eyes look up at me and just stare into my eyes. And now he is starting to smile, it is sooo amazing how such a small gesture can bring a mommy so much joy and happiness. It just amazes me how much I love to be a mom. "Momma Jess," my mother always called me cause I have always thought I needed to mother everyone, but who knew the joy of being one would really be. I know that in just a few short months when I start school back up and am working and raising my family I will want to shoot myself for making life so challenging, but hopefully I look back on this post and can remind myself of how lucky I truly am!! :) I hope to get some picks loaded soon, my internet is down at home so not sure when I will get it done!! Blessings to everyone xxoo
