SNOW!!!
We too had snow today! It was beautiful and lots of fun!
Long story short, we woke up to it snowing. An hour later, it was VERY heavy and covering the ground. My school was not canceled so we headed to school. After leaving the house, it was very obvious school should have been closed. Anna's school never opened however, my school did not close until 11. Meaning, I dealt with crazy kids and a 1st grader who so wanted to be at home.
We still had time to play a build a snowman when we got home. Yes, I know, our snowman is pretty ugly. But hey, we had fun!!!
Here's a picture of our house when we left for school this morning.
And here's Anna with her mini snowman. She built this right outside my classroom while I monitored snow crazy 6th graders.
This is the poor pitiful snowman that Anna and I built.
Of course, I can't leave Jay out of the blog. He really enjoyed playing outside. We used cookies for the eyes of the snowman, and as you can see he stole one before we could put it on.

Halloween and Haircut
This time last year, Jay was just 2 weeks old. He celebrated Halloween laying in my lap passing out candy. So, yesterday was the first time for he and Anna to trick or treat together. Anna was not happy at first having to wait on Jay, but as soon as we caught up with some of her friends she quit complaining. Jay walked taking in all of the excitement around him as Anna ran as fast as she could from door to door. Jay even walked to two doors holding his pumpkin basket like a big boy. Here's a pic of my little monkey dancing to his personal concert given by none other than the famous Hannah Montanna!
Jay walked the first part of the subdivision all by himself. Eventuallly I scooped him up and walked with the rest of the group. As I was walking my arm went to sleep. That's what made me realize he passed out while costume watching from my arms. Anna and I had to walk back home to drop him off before finishing the rest of the subdivision. This is how we left him.
Anna has been needing to get her hair trimmed. I called the lady who normally cuts our hair and the earliest appointment she had was 4 weeks away! It just couldn't wait that long. So, today we went to Wonder Cuts and got both Anna and Jay's hair cut! Anna just got her ends trimmed. I guess by looking at what I paid $10 for I need to learn how to do it myself.
Jay on the other hand got his mullet turned into a big boy haircut! He looks so grown to me! Here he is in the chair like a big boy!
And here's a side pic of the finished product. He sure made the lady earn her money! He did not want to be still for anything. He wanted to watch everyone else instead!
After I gave Jay a bath, Justin volunteered to put him to bed. Justin's idea of putting him to bed however, laying down with Jay in our bed and falling asleep together. After 10 minutes of no noise coming from our bedroom, I decided I should check on them. When I entered I found the Moss boys asleep. Bongo was even joining in on the fun. I thought this was too cute to pass up!
One last thought....It was a year ago today when Jay first got sick. I remember how horrible it was to see my baby so sick and not being able to do anything about it! A year later, he is walking around a big bellied, happy, healthy boy! I could not ask for more!

No Longer A Baby :(
Last Saturday (October 18th) Jay turned 1 year old! Wow, how time flies! He had a really good day. He was able to share a cake and his party with my cousin's little girl, Olivia, who is 8. They all had a great time!
Then that night he got to share his birthday with Justin's grandparents' anniversary. We went out to eat and had them both a cake. Boy did he pig out! There was blue icing everywhere!!!
He is so much fun! He loves to dance, is walking everywhere, constantly giving me open-mouthed kisses, and smiles at everyone! Boy, if he could only stay this way forever!
Jay even got the new Elmo for his birthday. Here is Anna playing with it in the car on the way home. She sure does love her brother!!

Sleeping Habits...
As promised I have taken more pictures of Justin sleeping with the kids. It amazes me that they can sleep this way! For those of you who missed the blog about sleeping positions, this is the way I find my family when I come home from grocery shopping. 
I think I was actually at a girl scout leader's meeting this night. Anna was in her room and this is how I found the boys. Yes, Justin is asleep. At first I thought he was faking. I realized he wasn't when I took pictures and he didn't move! And no, Jay is not drinking that bottle. It's empty and just laying on his face.
This night I was actually home. I was putting Anna to bed, and Justin was putting Jay to bed. When I walked in the bedroom, this is how I found them.

Getting OLDer...
In less than a month my sweet little boy will be a year old. For the past few weeks he has taken a step here and there. Then on Saturday he walked the length of the coffee table.... 17 steps to be exact!! Soon there will be no stopping him!
Anna too is getting older. She started first grade this year and absolutely LOVES school! During the storm she commented that she was bored. When I asked her what she wanted to do, her answer was "Go to school!"
I am finding myself getting older too. I'm not sure why I thought my kids would but I on the other hand would stay young. :) Sunday I found my first gray hair!!! I'm 28...I'm not supposed to have gray hair!!!
Speaking of getting older... thanks to Gustav we were able to go home and visit old friends. We also got to go to my best friend's daughter's (Hana's) birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. It was alot of fun getting to see and visit with everyone. Dori, Stephanie, and I acted like little kids at the picture booth. Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner to show you those pics. But I was able to capture a pic of the two of them on my camera. Hopefully we will be able to do it again soon!!

Bedtime
As much as I want to write about my life right now, I need to go to bed. I just had to share this one picture first b/c I finally got my camera hooked up and pictures downloaded. Here is Jay as happy as can be that he got new pj's. Boy, if only we were all this happy over the simpliest of things!

Another Day Out
Teachers had to report to school on Monday to prepared for our students on Tuesday. Some idiot ran into a light poll that morning causing us to be without power again. Luckily it came back on and we were able to have school as planned.
The students were excited to be back, especially the ones that were still without power at home. School was their escape from the darkness I guess.
All of the food at school spoiled, and we had not yet received a new shipment of food. So the students were served MRE's and bottled water for lunch. Luckily, we received our shipment Tuesday afternoon b/c MRE's were hectic!! The teachers walked around with scissors during lunch cutting open bags that the students couldn't. Imagine 9 teachers helping open 219 students lunches...all of which contained numerous packages to open!!
Things are just now getting back to normal with the students, and now we are out again!!! They cancelled school today b/c of hurricane force winds from Ike. I'm hoping this is the last time b/c I sure am dreading making these days up in the future!

Made it through
We didn't have much damage from the hurricane...missing shingles and broken gutter....nothing bad at all. There were others with much worse damage though.
We decided to make the trip to North LA today since I am offically out of school until Monday and unoffically out for an extended closure. Who knows when I'll be back at work. They are reporting that in 10 days half of Ascension will be with electricity.
I would go in to details but I'm not sure I have enough space to write it all!

Riding it out...
Well, it looks as though Gustav will be here tomorrow. It could arrive anywhere between tomorrow morning and tomorrow night. Justin has made the decision for us to stay here (notice I said Justin). It's not that I'm scared of the storm, I'm just not looking forward to being out of electricity! I know Anna will go insane. I'm not too worried about Jay though. He will play lights/air or no lights/air. The air went out last week and we kept the lights off to keep the house cooler. Jay did not seem to mind one bit.
I think we are prepared, hopefully I won't be proved wrong. I went to the store and got enough formula, diapers, and wipes to last 2 weeks. I bought bottled and gallon water, canned veggies and fruit, breakfast bars, bread, sandwhich meat, batteries, tylenol, paper cups, toilet paper, and paper towels.
Now that I've filled you in on my grocery list feel free to let me know what I've forgotten. :)
As soon as this place is back to normal, I'll fill you in on the fun we have!!

Back in the swing...
School has offically started! I had to report today and the students will start Friday. I am not ready for summer to be over! It seems like just a few weeks ago we were telling the bus drivers "MOVE THAT BUS"!
We actually have our first two weeks lessons planned but I have a long way to go before my room is ready. I decided to rearrange my classroom and decorate big time this year. Hopefully I will have it finished by Friday when the kids arrive. If not, they will be looking at half done bulletin boards for a few days.
For those of you who have been waiting for pictures here are few that Justin's granddad sent to me that he took the last time we were up there. Hopefully I will figure out my new camera and how to download the pictures soon!
This is a picture of Anna putting on make up. Anna just LOVES SueSue's dressing table and the fact that she will let her play in all of her neat stuff!
Sue Sue and Jay posing for the camera.
Jay seeing what all he can get away with!

The last month...
It seems as though we have been very busy yet have not really done anything at all at the same time.
The kids and I spent a week and a half visiting family and friends that we don't get to see very often. It was alot of fun yet very relaxing.
Other than that we've just been at home. We had 2 dr.s appointments last week as well as 2 trips to the after hours clinic. Both kids have been sick. :(
This week is VBS and I'm in charge of snacks/recreation for the preschool. I'm still tring to decide which snacks and games we are going to do the rest of the week. I have several ideas but not enough days to do them all.
In other news:
Jay has now said Weeeee, Huh (I swear he says it everytime Justin calls his name), Dada, and MaMa (only once in the middle of the night :( ).
Anna is finally getting a tooth in that she lost months ago!
Jay is pulling up and standing every chance he gets. I think once school starts and he's around all of the other kids again, he'll take off and there will be no stopping him.
I got to visit with Lauren O'Brien Harris for a brief moment at the mall on Monday! And yes, Molly is as cute in person as she is in all of the photos!
I finally got a new camera so hopefully my next post will be full of pictures!

Another First
I took Anna and a friend to Chuck E Cheese today. While I was passing out the pizza, Jay decided he wanted a piece so he snatched a piece as fast as he could. He immediately let go though because it was extremely hot! However, he continued to cry for a piece until I broke down and gave it to him. He ate the entire piece!!! I can't seem to stop the boy....he is constantly eating!!!

Aaaarrrggghhh!
We went to Bleu Bayou today. On the way home, Justin misplaced our bag. Not sure if he put in beside the car or on top of the car. Needless to say it is gone! The people at the lost and found said that if it were in the parking lot someone probably stole it! Justin blames it on being Friday the 13th weekend! It had Jay's swim suit, towels, ear plugs, sunscreen, some other baby items, my new sunglasses, my phone, and my camera. Some luck, huh?!?!
If I have (had) any of your numbers, you may want to resend them to me. :) If I don't hear from you, I'll know you don't want to talk to me anymore (or ever). LOL!

Sleepy Boy
Since I have not had time to grocery shop yet this week, I thought that I would share the picture I got of Jay sleeping yesterday. Before I must explain why is was so worn out.
We have already had a busy week and it is only Tuesday. I am working on the parish curriculum this week and Anna is taking swimming lessons. Anna is taking an advanced class for kids who already know how to swim. Afterwards, she stays to help with a friend's little boy who has never swam before and is the only one in his class. So..I am at work from 8 to 3. Then I rush to pick up the kids and head to swimming lessons. We do not leave until 5:30. So our day is pretty full. While at swimming lessons, Jay has wanted to get in the water as well. So for the last hour, he and I get in with the kids. Yesterday really wore hime out! When I got home and started cooking supper, I put him in his exersaucer. Before I knew it he was asleep.
Tonight however he cried until I rocked him to sleep. I expect that the we will all be worn out by Friday!

Grocery Shopping
I like to do my grocery shopping at night. That way, Justin can watch the kids and have them ready for bed by the time I get home. The last two times I've been shopping however, Justin has had them both asleep.
This is what I came home to last week. I'm still not sure how they all ended up where they are.
This week:
It's scary to think about where they may end up next week. :)

6 month pictures
Jay will be 7 months old in a few days. We had his 6 month pictures made a few weeks ago. I have tried posting since then but it has not worked. Anyway, I am tired of trying so I am going to leave you with his pictures and hope it works this time.

Sleepless Night
It's Sunday night and 1:30 am....I cannot sleep! Anna, Jay, and I went "home" for the weekend. We left Friday as soon as Anna got off the bus and had to be home in time for Awanna's tonight. Justin however had a wedding in Natchitoches. You would think after a long trip with just me and the kids I would want to crash. However, I cannot sleep!
We went home to see my new (and only) neice! Mary-Kate Moss is a beautiful little girl! I am exited that she and Jay will be fairly close in age. It will be exiting to see them grow up together. I would post a pic but the batteries in my camera died. I will have to wait for Miranda to feel better and post her pics.
Speaking of Jay....he now has 2 teeth, is sitting up unsupported for a few minutes, and is army crawling, and eating up a storm!!! He is growing up sooooo fast! I know they all do, but he seems to be growing up faster than Anna did!
While we were home, we got to see Noah (my one and only nephew). He LOVES Anna!!! I swear they fight like brother and sister. One minute they are aruging and the next they are hugging each other. Noah is so sweet...he thinks/knows his Aunt Sarah is the best and greatest. :)
Since I cannot sleep I should be grading papers, but that's no fun. LOL! We have exactly 14 school days with kids and 1 without!!!!!!!!! Summer is almost here! Anna has big plans for us.... Blue Bayou, Mommy and Me at the mall, and a road trip. I hope Jay and I can keep up with her!
Ok...I guess I should atleast try and get an hour or so of sleep!
P.S. I know atleast 2 of you posted a tag and tagged Sarah....I'm hoping you meant another Sarah b/c I don't know 7 things about myself that you wouldn't. I'm the kind of person who can't keep a secret...LOL!

News
Jay ran a low grade fever all weekend, and I was beginning to get worried. I thought it was still from the tubes. Then when we were sitting in the ENT office for our follow up visit I noticed that he has a tooth!!!!
Apr 3, 2008
Tubes
Jay got his tubes today! Hopefully this will help the nasty ear infections. The dr. said his ears looked really bad today; just Tuesday they looked good. Who knows!
I was very surprised how easy it was. Alot of people told me to be prepared for the screaming when coming off of the anaesthesia. However Jay did great! We only had to stay about 15 minutes (the dr. said it would be between 30 min. and an hour!). As soon as I gave him a bottle he was good to go! I guess my baby is getting use to all of this poking and prodding that he has been receiving since birth. :)

Spring break is over and it's back to work. :(
Anna is in Disney World until Sunday with her grandparents. Yes, she is missing a week of school, and I'm ok with it. I talked to her a few minutes ago and she is having a blast!
Jay is getting tubes in his ears Thursday. He gained a pound in 2 weeks! And he's trying to crawl!
Other than that, it's pretty quite here.

Another Visit
Jay is 5 months old today and went for another visit to the dr. today. He is now 13 pounds 2 ounces!! He still has an ear infection in both ears though. :( (This is week 5!) We are calling an ENT tomorrow b/c we are on our 3rd round of antibiotics and nothing has worked. Other than that everything is good with him. He is suprisingly still happy even with the infection.
I go for jury duty tomorrow. YUCK!!! I do get to miss school though and get away from my crazy acting kids!

Ramblings
SACS will be at school tomorrow. For those of you who do not know, that is our accreditation agency. I should be working on my lessons, but am instead being lazy! I'm sure everything will be fine. I tend to really screw my lessons up when I have them planned out word for word anyway.
Jay went for his 4 month well baby visit. Only he's not so well. He has 2 ear infections and a wheezing in his chest that won't go away. The dr. put him on prevacid for his reflux. She thinks this is the cause for the other ailments. Also, he has dropped from the 10th percentile to the 5th in the weight category which really worries the dr. He is barely 12 pounds!
Anna learned to ride a bike without training wheels last week. She caught on the first time and hasn't had any major crashes yet! Although, she looks pretty cute in her helmet and pads.
Other than that nothing going on here. Exciting life huh??!!

A Week Of Firsts
1. Anna went to her first Mardi Gras parade. A friend of mine, Jill and I took Anna and her little boy, Caden. We had lots of fun, clean fun might I add for those of you who are curious. We went to the Spanish town parade. Didn't see any nudity...just a few funny looking people dressed up. Anna had lots of fun catching beads. She also made a new friend...weird friend might I add. She was a mom of two who decided it was okay to pick my child up and run after a float to get her a stuffed animal. It all turned out okay, but I was a little worried to see her running holding my child. She did get the pink flamingo she was after.
2. Anna had a friend over who spent the night. The first was that she did not argue with this friend. Usually, she has atleast two or three disagreements with her friends. Anna and Shana played great. Did not have a disagreement until this almost noon(Shana had been here since about 6 last night). They made up about a 45 seconds later.
3. Jay rolled over from back to front! He's been trying for a week or so. He's been getting his entire body over except for his shoulder, but today he accomplished his goal. It probably won't happen again for a while though b/c he has not rolled from his stomach to his back in quite sometime. (although he accomplished this sometime ago.)
4. Anna saw a Hannah Montana concert. Ok...maybe not a true concert, but we did see the movie which was like a concert. I do suggest going to see this...even I thought it was awesome! A true 3-D movie! I was even dancing, singing, and clapping. There were kids up and dancing all over the theatre. Before the movie started, the manager came in to encourage the kids to do whatever they please b/c it was a concet event. (BTW...they showed previews of 2 upcoming 3-D movies which looked awesome as well! It looks as like you can truely touch the characters!!! One is coming out this summer...Hidden Treasure or something like that. Another in August, a kids movie, something about a fly who goes to the moon. We hardly ever go to the movies, but I will be seeing both! I have never seen 3-D like this before.)
5. It's 10:30 on a school night and I am not tired. Everyone in my house is asleep but me. I might add that I have my whole week completely planned test and all. (Yes, we have been out of school for 2 days due to Mardi Gras, but I NEVER make my tests before the school week starts!)
6. The laundry is caught up, the dishes are done, all of Jay's bottles are clean, and Anna's room is clean all at the same time. I do need to clean the bathrooms, sweep, mop, and vacuum...this will have to wait until tomorrow. Anyone know a good, cheap maid??
7. My dog has an outfit. Ok..this did not happen this week. Justin bought Bongo his first and only (probably ever) outfit for Chirstmas. I only agreed b/c it was an LSU jersey.
2. Anna had a friend over who spent the night. The first was that she did not argue with this friend. Usually, she has atleast two or three disagreements with her friends. Anna and Shana played great. Did not have a disagreement until this almost noon(Shana had been here since about 6 last night). They made up about a 45 seconds later.
3. Jay rolled over from back to front! He's been trying for a week or so. He's been getting his entire body over except for his shoulder, but today he accomplished his goal. It probably won't happen again for a while though b/c he has not rolled from his stomach to his back in quite sometime. (although he accomplished this sometime ago.)
4. Anna saw a Hannah Montana concert. Ok...maybe not a true concert, but we did see the movie which was like a concert. I do suggest going to see this...even I thought it was awesome! A true 3-D movie! I was even dancing, singing, and clapping. There were kids up and dancing all over the theatre. Before the movie started, the manager came in to encourage the kids to do whatever they please b/c it was a concet event. (BTW...they showed previews of 2 upcoming 3-D movies which looked awesome as well! It looks as like you can truely touch the characters!!!

In other news...yes, Ashley, Anna turned 6 in January!! My baby girl is growing up! She has lost 4 teeth in a matter of 2 months, is having friends call her on the phone, and can acutally read! We can no longer spell words in front of her b/c she knows what we are talking about. :(
OK..I could go on forever but won't. I need to atleast try and go to bed! :(

Weight Check Up
Well, we went to the doctor today for a weight check. Jay has finally hit 11 pounds!! He gained a pound and a half in the last month. However, he is still in the 10th percentile for his age. The doctor said that she is happy as long as he maintains where he is at.
In other news, Justin told Anna she could have a rabbit for her birthday. Luckily, she believed us that rabbits are mean and nasty. So, instead she got 2 frogs. They are tiny and really cute (believe it or not). Helen and Kermitt are their names. Not sure how she came up with those names.
Well, American Idol is on!! I better get off of this thing. LOL!
