I had a Heart Attack

2008-05-06T08:16:00.008-05:00

Imagine this. I was reading in my reading room just after 900am when I heard a loud horrible noise. I had just let the cat out thought a bird was doing a warning call for all the other birds that the bitch of a cat was out.

I screaming stopped for a minute, then it started up again. This time it was getting closer to the house. I was about to get up and see what it was when Cali came waltzing in with this animal in her mouth. My first thought a mouse. Anyone that knows me knows I hate all rodents. So I started to scream and I screamed and screamed some more. Ok so I must have screamed for about half an hour.

I didn't know what to do this thing is now running aound my reading room and there was no place for it to escape to. So I did the only thing I could think of. Call Krista. Hoping she could what come down with in the next 5 minutes to kill this thing or something.

Well she answered the phone quite quickly and tried to calm me down, honestly it didn't work to well. She told me to let Cali back into the room with the mouse and let her get it.

Well I couldn't do that, even though I was scared like crazy it was just a bit to inhumaine. I was still screaming on the phone with her. I tried to tell her that there was a mouse although I'm quite sure she didn't understand a word I was saying.

I finally stopped screaming and saw that it wasn't a mouse at all it was a baby bunny. She brought home a baby bunny!

Not a mouse. It was so scared I think it was more scared then I was once I finally figured it out. So now the major problem how do I get it out without the boys touching it and without me touching it??? Grab a towel Krista tells me. OK send Nathan for a bath towel. He comes back with a tea towel. Thank you Nathan. Phoenix grabbed a dish cloth. Thanks guys. Thinking fast(yeah right). I give the phone to Nathan and race up the stairs to get a towel. Got the towel go to where the bunny was. It's under the ledge of the hearth of the fireplace. Then I somehow scared it into the corner of the bookshelf, I can't get to it from there either. I get back on the phone with Krista told her I'll call her back when the bunny was outside.

Finally it come into a corner I could get to. I throw the towel over it and dragged it across the floor. The boys opened the door for us. I took the towel off and it hopped out the door. Away from the house the mean cat and the crazy lady.

Nathan's Birds

2008-04-21T14:58:00.006-05:00

While walking to and from the school all day Nathan has discovered the world of birds so we thought we would share them with all of you in cyberworld who can not come down and see them yourself.

This is the Rosefinch that was named "Rosey".

We see this one in our backyard everyday. Thank God Kali has yet to see it and eat it. This one a Grackle. It looks mean and I'm not too sure what it will do to my vegetable garden when it gets underway.

This one is a Goldfinch, Goldie is it's name. When you are 4 you have to have names that you will remember. They are not very creative but Nathan likes them and that is what counts.

This is his newest member of his bird collection. It is a Scarlet Tanager. I know they are all common but they are not common in Toronto. We never seen them before.

Boys School Pics.

2008-01-24T18:06:00.000-05:00

This is long over due but here they are. The boys school pictures from this year

Nathan Grade JK Age 4

Zach Grade 2 Age 7

Brain + Muscels = Sitting

2007-05-29T09:14:00.000-05:00

So here is the 411 on Phe. His brain and his muscles are not working together. His brain is not telling his back muscles to work they just go limp and that is why he is not sitting, plus the fact that he is too much on the go. His therapist said she has never met a baby who moves as much as he does. LOL. I could not stop laughing when she was trying to work with him on Friday. It was just too funny. But in the end she did get him to do his exercises which is good and now we do them with him 2x a day and I think it is helping him already his sitter had him sitting on a blanket on the grass last night when Eddie came to pick them up. YEAH!!!

We are planning on selling our house we would like to have it sold before the end of summer so Zach and Nathan can start school in our new place with no hassle.

Tomorrow Stan and his new wife Dena are coming for a visit for a few days. Where they can watch Zach and Eddies first T-ball game. He is quite excited about that. So is Eddie and Zach they can't wait for there first game. They has a practise on Thursday and everyone showed up but one person, but he already had his uniform and he played last year on another team.

So that is all that has been going on here not to much has happened. But enough to keep me busy.. lol

Nothing but the Best...

2007-05-04T13:10:00.000-05:00

O.k. so I know that soundsa bit cocky but can't help it be nothing but the truth. LOL. I don't know how many actually know and I well re-cap for those that don't. Phoenix is a having a very hard life this last 10 months and 3 days.
He has been in and out of Doctors offices that they all now know me just by the first "HI" on the phone, so the last time I went to the doctors they decided to send him to a speciallist for development therapy and send a therapist in to the house.. Now get this the wait time for the lady to come into the house is 4 months. SHE IS COMING ON FRIDAY!! How cool is that really? And for the development therapist is 2-3 Months wait . HE GOES ON THUSDAY!!! Now how really awsomely cool is that!!! LOVE IT!!!!
So now your asking what is the "Nothing but the Best" is about. The developmental therapsit is the BEST in North America and Europe. According to like everyone.
SO I'm Happy about that. LOL

Long time... I know

2007-04-24T09:29:00.000-05:00

So as you have all seen I haven't been on here for a long time,I just didn't have anything to blog about that's all.
Last night I started back to work*sniffle sniffle* I really didn't want to go and I thought with Eddie work for the TTC and the fact that he just got a raise I really don't think I should be. But Sometimes you just have to show Eddie that things will not work out, with me at work. The boys now have to go to a sitter after school, which is $40 a day x 3 days = $120 a week the fact that I'm only working part time says a lot about how much I'm actually getting paid so I'm really just working to fill Arlene's pockets. Life really does suck.. So now Eddie is looking at the fact that we can sell the house and the going rate in this area is not 350 thousand. SO we can move from here now instead of next year to make ends meet a bit and get a bigger and cheaper house in Ajax which I'm going to check out as soon as I'm done here and see what kind of house I can get with out having to work myself. So wish me luck.
Oh by the way Kris.. work lasted way to long and I never really ever want to go back again. lol

2007-04-11T08:18:00.000-05:00

Happy Belated Easter

I hope you all had a great Easter this year. Sorry I haven't updated this any sooner I haven't really much to say. I talked to Auntie Bebe yesterday and she is doing good. We are now planning a trip down her way sometime and maybe stop off in the Bay to see some people there.
The boys enjoyed there treats from the Easter Bunny, Phoenix got a BIG GREEN (in that colour) of a bunny. Zach got new baseball cleats, a art set, and a ball game. Nathan got the police car from the movie CARS, a giant Na scar car, and a ball game. So they did pretty well on that front.
They boys had a Egg Hunt and got all the eggs in under 10 mins so that's good for them since Nathan really had no idea what he was looking for and why. We had a big family dinner but not as big as usual we only had 14 people this year so I'm hoping maybe next year we will only have 13 and the year after 12 and so on and so on.
Guess what!?!? I made dinner!! Yes I did. Wanna know what I made? if you do keep reading if you don't then stop reading now.
I made Grilled Ginger Lamb, Baked Ham in Pep$i sauce, sweet/spiced yams(which Fe loved), and spiced carrots, and everyone who was there is still talking about it.. how awesome is that?
Plus the boys polished there plate they never do that for Eddie. I was totally stoked.. Anyways Fe is getting hungry and so am I so I'll leave you all to drool..LOL

2007-03-29T10:30:00.000-05:00

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY

AUNTIE KRISTA

We hope you enjoy your day we love you
lots lots lots

Love Peck, Na & Fefe
Mommy, Daddy & Nana

What an amazing little boy

2007-03-26T12:56:00.000-05:00

Yesterday Nathan really wanted to go for a walk but big mom and I told him to go get dressed and we'll go for a walk. Then he informed us he wanted to go to Grandma and Papa's house on his walk. So I added a map from our house to there place. Our place is Point A and there place is Point B. Which for a walk like that is no big for Nathan anyways who walks 3hrs almost everyday rain or shine with his day home.

This map here is the walk that they did on Friday and they were gone for 3 hrs. walking stopped for a small snack and continued for home they couldn't even go to the park it was like a lake with all the water there. Can we say Strong legs? I wish I had that much energy to walk for 3hrs non stop except for a small snack which is eaten while walking. What an amazing guy and all for the kids that do this in the morning, even Ryan is now out of the stroller and doing this kind of a hike and he is only 1.5 years old and potty trained to hold it until they get home. Funny thing when he gets home he is not even the least bit tired, he still goes to bed at 8pm so how cool is that..?

Walk start point is at Point A, to Point B then back to Point A. To make it even harder for them they don't take the main roads because it is to dangerous. They take all the small streets.

A Bunch of Everything

2007-03-25T12:21:00.000-05:00

This blog will have a bunch of everything in it. First off Krista mom did try to acknowledge your 6Th Happy to be alive day but it didn't seem to turn out that way.. sorry..
Secondly Zach saw the first robin of the year this morning outside his bedroom window. Yahoos spring is now here in the G.T.A..
Thirdly Phoenix is almost crawling, he can get his butt up in the air and knees under him but that's about it.
Fourthly kids say the damn est thing. The other day Zach came out of the bathroom with all the toothbrushes and informed me that I have to throw them all out. So I asked him why? he told me that there were hundreds of thousands of germs on them and when we brush our teeth we are putting them all in our mouths and making our mouths dirty not clean. One word Zach YUCK. The TV was on woman's channel and there a commercial for how clean is my house and that is what they were saying so, like everyone has always said about him. he is a sponge and is too damn smart for his own good.
Fifthly Nathan is just so darn cute.. He hasn't done anything out of the ordinary or strange or said anything new so I had to but something.. He is so darn cute. and that is about all for now.
Later

Lifeless

2007-03-21T17:01:00.000-05:00

Down 2lbs and 8 to go in a month I think I can do it.
I READ A MESSAGE TODAY IN A REAL MAGAZINE THAT SAID BLOGGS DO NOT LIVE IN THIS REALITY BUT ONLY IN A VIRTUAL ONE AND ARE LONEY,PEOPLE WITH NO LIFE SO IF WE HAVE NO LIFE THEN HOW CAN WE WRITE ABOUT OUR DAY AND LET ALL OUT BLOGGER FRIENDS KNOW WHAT WE ARE UP TO???? HELLO!! LIKE REALLY!!

Anyways today was uneventful day. Come to think of it I really don't have a life. My life consists of going to school coming home to tidy back to school come home finish cleaning and then back to school again, yep no life at all for me. Tonight Eddie has heading out to lodge for a few hours I'm hoping 8 o'clock comes very quickly so they can go to bed.
Phoenix is heading to bed in a few minutes, he has been clingy today and Zach has been crying all day as well.. I'm ready for a big long holiday without kids.. So I guess the magazine article was totally about me.. Anyways bedtime is now here have to take Phoenix back to the doctors tomorrow for his lungs again I'll let you all know how that went talk to you all later

On the right path

2007-03-18T14:00:00.000-05:00

I'm on the road for weight loss. Going to the gym and eating healthy. In a few weeks I'm going to Eddie's Lodges Ladies Night 2 in 2 weeks. I am not expecting to lose the whole 59 lbs in just 4 weeks but I can lose at least 10 or so. So I thought I would put a ticker on so Krista, Hike and whoever is interested can see how good I'm doing. So Wish me luck..

I almost Peed

2007-03-17T22:24:00.000-05:00

Tonight me and mom went to the movies to see Wild Hogs the one with Tim Allen , Martin Lawrence, William H Macy, and John Travolta all playing bikers, well I really don't want tell you much about it because I really do want you all to go and watch it, but I did want to let you all know how funny it is and I don't mean one little laugh here and there brought in by a laughing computer either it was so funny I almost peed my pants right then and there and the movie wasn't even half over. So I think you all might really enjoy it.. mom thinks Uncle Joe would love it so all of you check it out if you have the chance and tell me what you think of it. Also Ghost rider with Nicolas Cage was really good as well, Eddie and I saw it a few weeks ago. So there it id folks 2 really good movies that are fun for the whole family.. Well almost the whole family I would bring Zach & Nathan to see Wild Hogs and I'm sure they both would have been on the floor with laughter..Anyways I'm getting tired it is late here and Phoenix will be up soon for a bottle or suckie so take care and have a good night.. Oh Hike I think you might like Ghost Rider if you want to see a good one.. NIGHT

Is it fixed yet... let me know

2007-03-14T12:47:00.000-05:00

Ok so I fiddled a bit with the templates and now I think it looks ok except for the fact that I didn't want it green I wanted it blue to match the new words on top. I was trying for a new hipper look... since I'm not getting any younger might as well have my blog look younger. Also during the whole new "face lift" I some how wiped out the boys birthday tickers. Oh well not much I could do anyways to fix all that.. Your all probably wondering why am I doing all new things to my blog, right? Well Eddie niece was here one day and she was working on her my space account and had some cool looking things going on so I thought I would watch her do it and asked if any of the things can be added to my blog, she said yes so that is why I'm trying something new.. cause I Can..
So thank you all for you help on my blog with your advice if it still doesn't look like it should please please please let me know so I can try and fix it all over again..
Thanks

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BOY

2007-03-08T21:58:00.000-05:00

HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY ZACH

ZACH JUST A FEW MINTUES OLD

It feels like yesterday when he was this small but today Zach turned 7 years old.

I was going to but a bunch of pics of him on here but couldn'tfind them all right now. But this is one of my favs of him. He was so tiny and now he is getting so big. I could hardly pick him up today to give him a hug. He had a good birthday he has his birthday waffles(didn't have time to make birthday pancakes) with a candle in them, all of his friedns told him Happy Birthday including Nathan who had a bit of trouble but managed. The school announced it over the P.A in the morning at school, which he was quite excited about. Although he didn't get to have 2 birthday cakes like Nana go he did get to have his sticky buns that he loves so much so alls good for him.. Daddy even let him stay up a bit later then the usually 8 Zero Zero. So all in all today was a happy day and tomorrow is his party so I'll let you all know about it then. But for now Good Night I'm tired.

Blog Etiquette

2007-03-04T11:09:00.000-05:00

We all know how to blog... At least we think we do. Here is a list of Blog Etiquette

Blogging has become extremely popular lately, to the point that now big corporations have considered having Corporate Blogs.
And yes, there is etiquette for blogs too.
Here are some essentials:

1) A blog is like a diary, but public. Once posted is for the world to read it. Write accordingly. Keep in mind that is not for your eyes only. Be especially careful when you write on a corporate blog.

2) Write content that is not just about you, but something that gives benefits to your readers.

3) When you post on somebody else’s blog, write something of value. If you disagree with the blogger’s point of view, say why and the solution you propose.

4) When you write, either on your own blog or on other’s blog, keep in mind that your personality and your reputation are reflected in your words. You decide what is going to be.

5) When someone makes a good comment about your blog, acknowledge it and be thankful. Courtesy will always speak well about you.

6) If you post and you want anonymity, don’t make any references that might indicate who is posting.

7) Not everybody has broadband. If you want your blog to be read by as many people as possible, keep your graphics to a minimum.

8) Be consistent with your posts. Don’t post every month and then suddenly post many messages. Choose your own pace and keep it. This way your readers will know when to visit your blog for new information.

9) Include RSS feeds in your blog. More and more people are using it and your readers will not be frustrated for your lack of RSS feeds.

10) Be clear and specific in the description of the links on your blog. Tell your visitors where you are sending them.

Blogging is here to stay. Make the best of it for you, but especially for your readers.
Thank you to http://www.practicaletiquette.com/blog-etiquette.html for putting this on there website I hope we can all learn how to Blog properly

Zach's song list

2007-03-03T23:13:00.000-05:00

Zach is a music feen. He's just as good as his mommy when it comes to remembering songs that are played on the radio. Ok so he doesn't know the whole song but he does know the main verse which is pretty goo d for being only 6 years and 359 days old. ( he is not 7 until he actually hits the 7 mark). So here is the list of songs that he knows and is pretty good at belting them out.

1, Everyone Cares---Nickleback
2, Catch my Disease---Ben Lee
3, I like to Move it---Madagascar soundtrack
4, The Sweet Escape- Gwen Stafani
5, Far Away--- Nickleback

I think the list may go on a bit longer but i really can't think of them to well tonight, but he just learned the Nickleback one today, after we hear it on the radio a few times.. The way for him to get to know the song he has to see the video if you don't show him the video then he is totally lost. He doesn't like Everyone Cares Video it is just to much for a little boy to grasp no matter how hard I try and explain it to him... So how many of you actually know these songs or just the verse to them, with out looking them up???
Good luck on that Challenge.

ICE STORM OF 2007

2007-03-02T08:33:00.000-05:00

O.k. so when we were kids if School buses were cancelled we would be very excited right? Well not to many kids at Zach's school takes the school bus they do take the bus or have to walk(we walk),today all of Toronto's School buses are cancelled and I told Zach that there is no way in HECK I'm going out in this. Anyone Remember the ICE STORM of 199? I can't remember but it was pretty bad, the plus side this time is that there is power and running water so we can shower, flush the toilet and what not, and we have heat so all is good. Just very slippery out and when the slow plow went by the throw a huge chunk of snowy ice right behind the van and Eddie was just telling me now that he can't ever move it or chop it up because it is now solid ice. Zach has been home for the last 2 days because he was sick, he was excited about going to school today I told him NO SCHOOL TODAY!!! YEAH!!!! He cried and cried and cried. Then I told him that his play date for tomorrow has been cancelled as well he cried even more( but it is not weather related, the boys mom had her baby yesterday morning). So today Zach is having a bad day, so if anyone wants to put a cheer up Zach comment for him I'll pass the message on to him. Hope you are all warm and staying dry

Thanks you all in advance

It is now Eddies Turn

2007-02-23T23:53:00.000-05:00

So I added 2 more Blogs that I visit almost daily on to my blog it took me a while but I managed to do it. Heather's and the Masonic Traveler. I stumbled upon the Travelers while looking up Masonic things for Eddie. There is one that is really funny and as soon as I find it I'll had his as well, called Freemasons for Dummies.
I told you all a few Blogs ago that I'll introduce you to Eddie. And I thought now is a good time as any to do it.
Born Edward Joseph Crosier at North York General Hospital, North York Ontario to Gail and Edward Crosier on April 26 1971.
He has one sister, Cindy, who has 2 kids of her own, Jon(17) and Crystal(15).
Eddie as he is known to all grew up in Baybulls,Newfoundland an hour outside of St John's.
He works for the TTC( Toronto Transit Commission) driving a bus. He has been a bus driver for 5 years now and he seem to enjoy it.
He is an active member of the Freemasons which he enjoys, right now he is the Jr Warden and in 2 years he will be Worshipful Master(he's the head of the lodge for a year). AS you may have guessed he is quite excited about it.
According to mom Papa was also a member when he was in New Brunswick, so having another mason in the family made Eddie quite stoked as you can all imagine. ( to make what mom had said to be true the last time we saw Papa, Eddie actually tested him can you believe that.. yes I did yell at him for that.)
What else can I say about him.. He loves to cook and can clean the house real good and he does laundry as well if I don't get it all done before he gets home. He's an amazing daddy, a good friend, he still has a lot of them from when he was a teenager and one from when he was 12.
But there flaws to him, he is not all perfect.. He won't iron, it is a fight for him to do windows and to give the boys a bath you would think I was asking him for the world... LOL
Eddie is also a very traditionalist as well to a point. Nothing can change from how is has to be done and such.. Ask mom how he is in that regard she is the one who always says it.
Any ways this is Eddie or if you ask Zach I taught him that Eddie name is " Eddie "he Spaghetti" Crosier".

I think this will be the hardest off all 3 boys to write about because he is only 7.5 months old and really doesn't have to many likes and dislikes. But I will try and do my best, and start where I started with the other 2.
Born on July 1 2006 at 1154pm at Scarborough General Hospital weighing 10lbs and 13oz. Yes he was a BIG BOY, and still is. Phoenix's nickname is Phoenie( pronounced Fee knee).His full name is Phoenix Hayden Crosier.
He is also a spitting image of his mommy at least I think he is and mom says he does have some of my looks. Eddie's mom is trying to claim him as looking like Eddie, I don't think so, he is totally me.
Ok on to his likes/dislikes. He really really hates being left alone anywhere if he can't see you he will and does scream until you do come back. He hates falling off the couch for obvious reasons.... it hurts a lot.
Phoenix likes to be held and snuggled, he has a thing for my necklace it will keep him entertained for at least a good 30 minutes , he has yet to break it(knock on wood).
He is big on playing no matter what it is or even if he is not playing he still loves to watch Zach and Nathan play.( I make them play with him at the same time as they are playing. He is usually the baby that Batman is trying to save from the Riddler. So it is all good.
Phoenix is a big bundle of laughs. You just have to kiss him and he laughs I'm afraid to tickle him in case he laughs so hard he won't be able to stop.. It is quite cute.
Anyways this is Phoenix, the 2nd newest addition to the Johnston clan. He even looks like a Johnston too, maybe I should change his name???
P.S he now has 2 teeth at the bottom.
P.P.S Tomorrow or sometime this week I'll introduce you all to the world of Eddie

It's all about Nathan

2007-02-18T21:42:00.000-05:00

Today's blog is all about Nathan, or Na as he is often called.
The basic stuff about him: Born September 18 2003 at 930 in the morning at Scarborough General Hospital(all 3 boys were born there because it is just down the street).
Nathan Dallas is his full name the Dallas coming from his Uncle Hike, and the Nathan cause we really liked it.
Nathan is just like Zach but quieter, way quieter than Zach. Na can and does get lost when just holding mommy's hand in the mall that is how quiet he is.(LOL) I have also lost him in the house and let me remind all that may or may not know I have a small bungalow house. Not big at all.
Na is into cars, colouring, drawing, playing batman and crying( I really do think that crying is his favorite pass time)
He goes to a day home with a bunch a boys around his own age for 1/2 a day I pick him up at 1250pm when Arlene( the sitter) takes a few of the boys to school. Which is fine by me because I don't a have a hugh bright to climb over I just cross the street..
Nathan is a really Mommy's boy can't do no wrong at all( NOT) I've been told my mom and Eddie that I babied him too much, I also babied Zach for a long time too. But I think it was cause he wasn't talking. He just started talking at the age of 3. In October he really started now he can say like 2-3 word sentences which is a big improvement from a few months ago. This Mommy is very happy.
So there's really not a lot to tell about Na. He's sweet, he the devil in a cute costume, and he has the attitude of a rock star. You just gotta love Na that's all I can really say. I love him to death hope you do too

I was thinking.....

2007-02-16T12:46:00.000-05:00

OK so I was thinking( a wee bit scary but we'll be OK), that since my blog is called Our 3 boys then I really should introduce you all to Our 3 boys.. I mean sure you know there names, what they look like and stuff like that but you don't really know them so starting today I'm going to introduce you to them. Starting with the oldest, tomorrow the middle child and then the youngest. so you can all really get to know them. Because I don't think that people really want to hear me complain all the time on this so I'm going to try and stop doing it. and I'll also include an updated picture. So I'll be starting now.

Edward (Zach)ary Johnston-Crosier was born on March 9Th 2000 at Scarborough General Hospital, Ontario.
Zach is now almost 7 and in grade 1 at Lord Roberts Jr Public School right across the street from our house, and yes because we are so close we are also late almost everyday, His teacher is Ms Quain whom he really really likes. His best friend Audrey is also in his class and has been since jk.
Zach is quite the ladies man he can't go into the school yard without at least 5-7 girls running up to him and then he also gets all the ones that don't run up to him but yell up to him "Hi Zach Hi".
I remember once this year I had to pick Zach up and carry him to his door just so he wasn't mauled by all of them. He doesn't seem to mind but the fact that he is only 6 and 11 months old makes me wonder what he is going to be like later on in life.
Zach also had 2 friends Casey and Sarah fight over him and they did not talk for 2 days according to there parents and babysitter. Casey's mom comes up to me and goes to me "Oh so this is the famous Zach that Casey won't stop talking about." I was in total shock that i couldn't reply to. I was like what do you mean the famous Zach?? Auntie Berta were Heather and Lesley this boy crazy at such a young age? Or is it just today's society?
Zach's Likes and dislikes: Anything Batman is a big like, so is anything fireman and fire trucks he want to be a fireman when he grows up.
His dislikes are being told what to do, pesky little brothers that will make a mess and not help clean it,a quite a bit of foods( green peppers, mushrooms, onions, white bread to name a few).
I was asked by Auntie Berta what colour his eyes are sorry I didn't get back soon but they are Blue the same as mine and the other 2. Eddie has 1 blue and 1 green.
So there you are this is Zach, he is a great kid with a little devil in him as well.
Sorry my camera doesn't seem to be working right now I'll get an updated dpic of him on as soon as I can

For all of you out in blog world that look forward to seeing what is happening in Burnaby,BC with Updates From Krista., may have to wait for bit longer due to unforeseen events. On Thursday while walking to work Krista was side swipped by a bus. No broken bones, just a bunch of bruises, sprains and strains all down the right side. But will recover nicely.
She just has to remember to stop trying to fight those damn city buses, you can try all you want but your never going to win.

IT"S A BOY!!!!!!!!

2007-02-10T10:04:00.000-05:00

Early this morning at 3:14am Eddie's nephew Jon and his girlfriend Bailey had a beautiful baby boy Camron Riley Milne-Smith 5lbs 13oz. I don't have any pictures yet put as soon as I do I'll post some. Eddie is so excited to be a Great Uncle But not as excited as Jon's dad who was sitting on the edge of his seat and ear pressed to the delivery room door. Bailey Did a great job and didn't have that much pain due to the epidural. But all in all Camron, Jon & Bailey are doing great and can't wait to go home.
ps the name, Camron is not spelt wrong they looked it up and I guess that is the Galic way of spelling it.

HE CAN SPEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-02-07T18:21:00.000-05:00

Phoenix, Phoenix is the one that can speak. He said Mama yes Mama not Dada but Mama. The First one to say Mama first too. *sniff* *sniff* he is becoming a big boy, ok well not quite. Also last night he slept all night. Ahh sleep it feels so good LOL. Anyways that is all BYE

The Blog of all Blogs

2007-02-05T17:22:00.000-05:00

I have a question to ask all mothers, babysitters & aunties out there in blog land. How often did your kids get sick? I mean really sick? Why do you want to know you are all wondering. Well yet again Phoenix is sick and not just cough cough I'm all better sick either. but COUGH COUGH COUGH gag chock spit up kind of sick. So mom and I spent the night in the ER last night. Phoenix got 4 count them 1 2 3 4 masks to help him breath better and a chest x-ray. If any of you had a chest x-ray done to any of your kids then you know the pure pain of it and for those that haven't let me tell you about it. They put them on a tiny tiny bike seat and then left his arms up way high in the air and then close 2 plastic things around his chest to hold him still. So there he was sitting on this seat thing feet dangling and he starts kicking his legs around. I know it sounds funny cause it was but all at the same time he is crying so that actually cancels out the funny bit of it and breaks your heart. Like really breaks it to little pieces. We didn't get home until midnight and mom had to work this morning.
After we got home he put him in his stroller(that is where the doctors told me to put him to sleep) and he wouldn't sleep. So Eddie was up all night and so was I but that means Eddie can't drive a bus with no sleep so he called in "sick". Which was good cause Phoenix had to go back to the hospital for more tests. He had to get blood tests and a tube up the nose and down this throat to make sure it was clear. Ewww.
The blood test was a blast.. NOT. They couldn't get blood out of one arm so they went on to the other arm. OUCH!!! Mean nurses!. I don't do needles well not even for myself so I left but when I heard him screaming I had to go back in so he knew that mommy was still here( Eddie had gone to find something for lunch).
So all in all and to round out this Blog of all blogs he does not have pheumonia nor does he have bronchitis or asthma,... I know I know What does he have Alli. He has a Lung Infection. Once again. yes did say again. He has been sick 4 or 5 times in the last 7 months.. yes he is only 7 months. So have any of your kids been sick this much or just mine? please let me know.

Is Phoenix 10 yet???

2007-01-31T15:04:00.000-05:00

Phoenix has been teething since he was 3 months if not earlier and still no teeth. It is really p#$&ing me off. Why you ask? Because he is constanly crying and whining and I don't think i can take it anymore( cry cry cry). On a happier note Nathan is starting to say full sentses now. Yeah for Na. Zach has another loose tooth which sucks because his top teeth are still not coming in yet. Eddie has this wicked cough that will just not go away. Last ngith he kept me up all night Finally at 220 I got out of bed and stayed I also had help getting out of bed. Nathan was screaming at the top of this lungs. " MOMMY MOMMY HELP MOMMY HELP ACK HELP ACK HELP MOMMY HELP" he did that for about 3 mins until I finally clued in that yes he was screaming at me for help. Zach had gone to the bathroom and didn't want to go up the ladder to his bed so he decided to crash on nathan's bed. Na hates sharing his bed with anyone and anything. He now doesn't even sleep with a stuff animal because it takes up too mcuh space. lol What a kid eh? Anyways I haven't written in a while I just wanted to let everyone know that we are all stil alive and doing some what well. Take care .

BUSY BUSY

2007-01-22T21:20:00.000-05:00

Ok So I know I haven't updated in a long time and I'm sorry . BUSY BUSY BUSY that's me. My nights aren't less busy. Like take last night for example Natan was up and down it was driving me crazy. First was around 11pm and he had to wipe his nose. no prob he doesn't want to sleep in boogies. Then it was 1130pm hew has to go pee, and then around midnight he has to go poo. Then at some time during the night he has to wipe his nose again then go pee Then Phoenix woke up he wanted his bottle Nathan hears him and had to come see if "Baby" was ok. ( Natan calls him Baby he can't say Phoenix). So that was my last night, and Eddie is wondering why I didn't iron today.. umm maybe because I too tired I could barley keep my eyes open. Then I went to get Zach after school and was looking all over the place for him and couldn't find him so I asked Audrey where he was. ( If she doesn't know then there is a BIG problem because they know everything about each other). I forgot he started his reading and Math tutoring today so I go back home ( the school is litarley across the street) then I go back for 4 o'clock them come home Clean up the kitchen. Eddie comes home I tell hiom that since no one is going to the gym tonight but me might as well go now. ( Me, mom, Eddie's mom and Eddie niece go to Curves 3x's a week). So I go and had a really really good work out, and I was going to take the bus home tonight but decided to walk because it was a nice night only -6 out. By the time I get to Midland I'm cold and tired so I decided to wait for the bus. By the time the bus actually came I could have been home and had by dinner at least half way done. But when I did step through the door I wanted to leave again. Zach and Nathan were playing cars in the livingroom and Phoenix was in bed screaming his head off and Eddie trying to calm him down it was a mad house. But all in all it is now 935pm my time and I want to go to bed so I'm now going to and maybe watch eddie play a hockey on his PS2, and maybe win the Stanley Cup because we all know the Maple Leafs aren't going to be winning that in real life anytime soon. LOL
Good Night everyone

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

2007-01-03T15:36:00.000-05:00

In March Zach turned 6 and we went to Woody Woodchucks for his birthdaywith a few of his friends.

On July 1st Phoenix Hayden Crosier made his grand entrence at 11:53pm.
September Zach started 1st grade with Audrey and Sarah, and Nathan turned 3.
So that is my year recap. I know not too much stood in my mind but there it is.

6 Weird Things about Me

2006-12-19T14:12:00.000-05:00

This is so hard..

1. I like big band music. Alot of people don't at my age, but I do.
2. I can't stand having the drive touch the car radio if I'm in the passanger seat. The steering wheel is for you the Radio is for me.
3. I know almost all the words to the songs on the radio even if I have never heard it before or I haven't heard it in ages.
4. I love to procranate. I don;'r know why but in a pinch I can have the house clean in half an hour if Eddie is on his way home. My mom says I get it from my nanny. She did the same thing.
5. I don't mind listening to a baby cry, most people hate it. I doesn't bother me to much at all.
6. If I had my own way the Christmas Tree would be up on Christmas Eve and down Boxing day.,

Nothing

2006-12-07T23:52:00.000-05:00

Have you ever wondered why it is that when you look back at the day you think nothing has happened,but as soon as you sit down to write it a lot has happened. Take today for example. I think nothing happened, but I finished wrapping my Christmas presents. Eddie had Lodge tonight and it lasted longer then he wanted it to just like last nights Lodge did, he has to be up at 4am(poor baby).
Phoenix is a Daddy's boy he cried and screamed while Eddie was gone. I brought him out to the living room and Nathan was sitting there watching Bob The Builder and he stopped for a bit. I guess I have another HUGH fan of the show. Oh well it's a ok show.
I cleaned Phe's room today and brought moms old rocking chair up. It now looks like a Nursey should.
Zach went to school and had a good day
Nathan went to Arlene's and came home saying almost the whole Alphabet( pretty darn cool)
So even though you think nothing may not have happened stuff has. May not be important to eveyone as long as it is important to you then"That's a Good Think"(Martha Stewart always say that)
So Enjoy and have fun and just tell me what you did today, because I find it interesting.
Good Night and have fun

Let it Snow let it snow let it.....STAY

2006-12-06T14:09:00.000-05:00

It snowed yesterday and now today it is gone. What is going on with Ontario weather??? I really want to know!! It is totally unfair that Vancouver got snow and we didn't. But it should be coming soon. ( I hope)

So Phoenix is sick today last night he has a fever of 100.1, so Eddie gave him a warm bath and brought it down, but he throw up today at least 3 times today, all over me and the carpet( what is it with the boys doing that on me?)

On Sunday we were invited to Christmas dinner at Eddie's parents church it was fun up to the point where mom, sitting on one side of me and Eddie sitting on the other side of me, did not move when I asked them to so I was pulling my self in when mom decided to move over and some how ended up crushing my baby finger, no it is not broken ever though we thought that it was. It still hurts a lot, and feels a bit like wet noodle. (gross). But I'll live.

I have another picture to put on so enjoys Zach's Class photo.

Later. P.S Zach is Circled and the other one is his b.f.f Audrey

Wal-mart in need of compassion

2006-12-01T09:18:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was so nice out that I went shopping in my spring jacket. So we went to Wal mart after dinner last night and were going to pick up the last of the Christmas gifts. We were in the woman's clothing section because Eddies niece wanted a pair of "cool" jeans for Christmas when out of no were Zach starts having a major coughing attack( he was home with a bad cough all day) and all of a sudden he throws up all over the place. Luckily he didn't hit any of the clothes there.... Just I ones I was wearing. Al down the legs of my jeans. I run him down the moveavator and all around the store until we found that bathroom. I rushed him in to finish in the toilet and I headed for the sinks to clean up and there was woman with her 2 girls looking at me with a very disgusted look on her face. I smiled and said " Don't you just love the joys of motherhood" she stuck her nose up in the air and headed out the door. Some people eh? Like he could help it. Also on the way running him down I told the first person I saw what had happened. She told me "Well you have to tell the person who is there in that department" HELLO! I'm telling you you can go over and tell her!. Like really people. SO that was my exciting night.

Wedding Weekend

2006-11-29T09:44:00.000-05:00

One Of Eddie' s best friends way married this week end in Niagra Falls. It was quite nice. We Went up Friday night and came home Sunday night. The wedding had a lot of sentimental value for the bride, Brenda. It was her fathers favorite place to go, he passed away 2 months ago. So all in all the weekend was fun. It was great seeing Eddie's friends again. Although there was one person that didn't think it was so fun, Mary-Anne. She is Eddies best Friend Mike's girlfriend. She was jealouss of ME! Can you believe it. ME!! She does not approve of our "relationship" she thinks that I flirt to much or something. Yes we all know that I started flirting the second I came out I just can't help it. So I nicely told her off and that she needs to grab a like as it is flying by, but whatever.
Did I mention that when we were walking down the street at a club just outside one of the casinos Eddie saw JEWEL. I caouldn't believe it, Jewel. It was so cool she was outside having a drink with outh people. I oh so wanted to go to the after concert party. How Cool was that? Look at the time I have to go grab Nathan. BYE BYE

What a Sunday Night

2006-11-20T14:48:00.000-05:00

Oh what a Sunday. Zach had his annoying voice going and Nathan was not helpful and Phoenix was being a baby( which is ok since he is one). We were making sugar cookies to send to Papa( mom said he likes those kind) and Nathan kept on eating the batter and when the cookies wre done he started to eat them as well. I saved a few those so that's ok. The part of sunday that was CRAZY was that we were invited, so I invited myself, to Eddie's parents place for dinner,just as we were about to head out the door Zach's teeth somehow fell out of his mouth and you guessed it they broke. I know he was suspost to only have them until after Christmas, but that is still over a month away. So he talks funny now and I'm trying not to laugh when he talks but it's hard......I know mean mommy. So if you are wondering what the picture is it is his broken teeth. So that was my exciting sunday.

If anyone knows how to put the picture at the bottom of the page pleas do tell me.
Also Welcome Krista to the Blog world glad you came.

2006-11-15T14:42:00.000-05:00

Not Much Going On Here in T.O

2006-11-13T11:16:00.000-05:00

I took Zach to school today and was met up with a surprise and a shock some idiot over the weekend decided to Break a window in the school the entire window was shattered, the principal was out there sweeping the yard from the glass and the janitor was in the class room taking the glass pieces out and making sure he didn't rip any of the art work.. Did I mention that it was Zach's classroom? AS some of you may know he is full of questions and non stop asking of them. Why Mommy did they do it? Who did it? Where I am I going to have class today? When did they do it? Typical question but still non stop. So that was the start of my day.

My weekend was not bad spend most of it on the phone. Got word that Hike and Krista are coming down for Christmas, which is quite exciting. Really can't wait. Eddie is getting the day off work for the first time in 2 years. (people must travel on the holidays so he must take them) He also got the weekend off So he has Christmas Eve and New Years eve off. In 2 weeks were headng to Niagra Falls for the weekend one of he friends from high school is getting married. Mom is going to watch the kids for us. Hope she is well rested because Phoenix is still not sleeping through the night. How fun for me. I'm the one who gets up with him.

You know just not a lot of anything going on so I'm going to go now and pick Zach up for Lunch. Talk to you all later

A nice relaxing day

2006-10-24T13:32:00.000-05:00

For the first time in a week I get a relaxing quite day. Zach is in School he is in grade 1 and is finding the math a bit hard. Nathan is at Arleen's she is his sitter he went to her place because he wasn't talking and now he is starting to be a chatter box. Phoenix is in nap right now so all is well. I just got off the Phone with Krista and was telling her what the boys wanted to be for Hallow'een this year.. Phoenix is going to be a teddy bear, Nathan is Superman(or maybe the Devil that he really is) and Zach as decided on his own that he wants to be a Vampire. He Came up with it on his own. Zach also told me and mom that he doesn't need those fake teeth (the fang ones) all he has to do is this.. He spit out his teeth( Zach has baby dentures) and says "see I already have them!" So Tonight I'm hitting the stores to find Costumes before Saturday. On the last Saturday before Hallow'een the Toronto Zoo has a free day to all kids that have a costume on so we take the kids and they have Hunted houses and Witches Brew , which is just apple cider. The kids love it. This year Audrey(Zach best friend since jk) and Izzy(her sister) are coming with us. They are going to be witches. I will be fun We'll bring the camera and try to capture the fun.

I want to say Thank You to my cousin Lesley for the nice warm welcome to the Blog Family it is great to be here. And thanks to by sister Krista for setting it up as well.

My 3 Sons

2006-10-23T14:17:00.000-05:00

this is one of my favorite pics of the boys together. It's not very often you can get Nathan to smile and capture the picture at the same time. It's also not ot often that Zach is willing to hold Phoenix either. So here they are my loves of my life.. Cute Eh? LoL
I'm very new at this and don't really know what to say. I can tell you about my day. Which as always is very hectic, especially if school is involved which to day it was. My alarm didn't go off this morning so I didn't get up until 815 and scholl starts at 845 but we have to be out of the house by 830 because even though it is across the street it still takes us 15+ mins to get there. Nathan is a slow walker. So I did the only thing I could think of call Jean and see if she could pick up the boys. I wasn't dressed and phenie was still asleep. When Jean was walking up the driveway I was just geting Nathan's underwear on him. He got his first ever Speed dressing, I'm sure there will be more to come. So Zach got to School and Nathan got to Arleens on time. When it was time to pick Nathan up Mom(he calls me mom) was almost late because he was on time. At Around 3pm when it was time to get everyone ready to go get Zach from school Nathan put himself on the potty and Phoenix was napping for the first time all day. So pulling him off the potty getting him fresh clothes(he had an accident) and getting Phenie into his snowsuit. Nathan desided he wants to wear his winter boots,which take a while to get on. When I noticed it has started to rain the rain tuned out to be really HAIL. Nathan refuses to go out into it. Don't blame him but it lasted 2 mins, then done. So All in All today was a hectic day. So Blog you later LoL( get it?) LoL

1st Post test...

2006-10-22T23:30:00.000-05:00

...Hummm...just testing this thing out to see how it works!
This Blog was set up by my sister Krista so that she could stay as involved in the lives of her 3 young nephews as she can be being all the way out in Vancouver. This is not a bad way to keep everyone updated!
