Sorry I haven't updated in so long

OK...so I'm a bad blogger! I realize it's been forever since I've updated this blog. What can I say...there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to sit down and "chat" on the computer. Well I guess I could, but I haven't mastered this task with a 6 month old jumping around in my lap and a 3 year old repeatedly saying "momma I want to play computer games" every time I sit down at the computer. lol


Things have been great here. Eli goes for his 6 month checkup here in 2 days and Jeremiah is now 3 (going on 10) years old. Eric turned 36 years old today and told me he's starting to feel like an old man. I still think he's hot though. lol The ducks have all left. 3 are now are uncle Brad's pond, 2 sadly got hit by cars and 1 - Mrs. Quakers- was the last to "leave the nest" here about a week or so ago. Although we still have quite the little zoo going on here at the Foster household with 1 rabbit, 1 hamster, 1 dog, 1 turtle, 2 hermit crabs and 4 fish. That's pretty much it for now. I'll try to update this more often. Here are a few recent pics of the boys.

The SweetPeace Swing

For those of you that don't live right down the road from us you may not have known that the baby swing we got for Jeremiah and used for Eli broke. I smelled something electrical burning almost 2 weeks ago and it turned out to be the motor on the swing. It was on of those swings that not only swung back and forth but also side to side. It was a REAL life saver for me. If it weren't for that swing there would have been a lot of day that I wouldn't get anything around the house down or often not even get a shower till after Eric got home from work. Eli loved the swing....and it was a LONG eleven days from the time the old one broke till the new swing arrived. Eli has his new swing now and that makes EVERYONE in the Foster house hold happy. lol

Ducks on the run

The rain has stopped...at least for now. Jeremiah got to run around in the yard and play with his ducks. He's still a tad bit upset that they don't run to him but from him, but he's getting over it. He still likes to try every once and awhile to catch them. Momma is the one that usually ends up running around the yard like an idiot for 15 minutes to catch one so he can pet it for all of 30 seconds and be done. lol The things we do to please our children! Eli is doing great. I'm going to post a video of him soon if this one turns out good on my post. Till then....take care all!

Mallard Update

Ok, so I've had a few inquires on the ducks. Yes we still have all 6! lol They are now 3 weeks old and getting big fast. They graduated to the outdoor pen I set up for them. They love it and take daily strolls around the back yard. Jeremiah still LOVES his ducks and is kinda sad because they used to follow him around everywhere....now you have to chase them down if you want to hold one. lol They are starting to get there feathers now. Here's a few picks

We wanted to hatch ducks eggs, and still plan to do that, but after thinking about it...we were afraid that if none of the eggs hatched and Jeremiah was sooo looking forward to ducks then he'd be sad. And momma can't have her boy sad....soooo we go a few baby ducks today. We only wanted to get 2, but could only buy them if we got at least six. SO now we have six baby ducks and will be hatching ducks eggs probably in another month.

Jeremiah LOVES his ducksAnd they love him. They follow him around everywhere. I think they think he's the momma. lol

Eli's First Spoon Feeding

Since Eli has a lot of issues with his throat and choking while he's eating, he's had rice cereal added to his bottles for awhile now. But the other day he had his first feeding with a spoon. He didn't know what to think at first and ended spiting the majority of it out. But it didn't take him long to catch on and he LOVED it. He kicked his little legs around in excitement if I didn't get the spoon to his mouth fast enough. He's growing up soooo fast. Both the boys are actually. Jeremiah and I will be coloring Easter Eggs today so I'm sure there will be photos of that up here soon.

Got to love that face!Brothers

Dora LIVE

Jeremiah and Momma went to Pittsburgh on the 22nd of March to see the Dora LIVE show.
We had a lot of fun! Jeremiah got to see Dora and all her friends and even got to see Diego and baby Jaguar. We weren't allowed to take pictures during the performance so the few pics here are ones I snapped really fast during the shows break. Jeremiah still talks about the show and the things he saw. It was well worth the money and driving in downtown Pittsburgh. :)
