LUL

lesalynn — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 04:57:43 +0000

According to Urban dictionary lul stands for “Lame Uncomfortable Laugh”. When I started to create a post, I didn’t know what i was going to write about. The first thought was that I had not posted in almost a year, had a lull. But, to be completely honest with you, I wanted to make sure “lull” was the right word. Now, my post isn’t about the long break in my blogging.

When Google directed me, first, to Urban Dictionary, I decited to play. That is where I found LUL…Have you ever just browsed on www.urbandictionary.com ? If not, you should.

Back to LUL. Dont you hate when you say something and immediately regret it? Like, once when talking about cutting your own hair, I said “if I did that, my hair would stick strait out…” while standing next to the girl who had styled her hair to stick strait out in back…uh, hahahaha? LUL

I am going to try to get back into blogging. I miss it. But I find when I start I am lacking topics. I will probably blog about my kids, what else is there in life?

Wowza!

One week from today, Kaeden will be 4! DISBELIEF!!! I remember the weekend he was born like it just happened! I also am a little surprised he made it Remember when your parents used to tell you “if you don’t stop….youwont make it to your next birthday” for whatever reason, or whatever mischief you were getting into…Well, Kaeden is a mischief MASTER! Always into something or on someone’s last nerve! What a change from the sweet 6 pound 14 ounce bundle of joy that graced our lives on September 3, 2006 at 9:42 pm! With his dark hair stuck up in a mohawk & his BIG head and tiny little body, he stole the hearts of everyone he met! Here’s a glimpse into the night he stole our hearts! (sorry grandparents – I wasn’t in any condition to take pictures and we have NONE of the grandparents’ first meeting with their first grandchild)

It happened in slow motion but was a whirlwind at the same time….Love you to pieces, forever and ever, Kaeden Joseph Cowley!

Some Day

lesalynn — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 06:06:38 +0000

On this day, I knew we were in trouble.

This is Karsten, he was supposed to be born the same day Bristol was supposed to be born. He wanted his own birthday, though, and is 6 days older than she is. This is the day they met. May 16, 2009. He was 11 days old and Bristol was 5 days old…It was Love At First Sight! They really are cute, aren’t they?!

We may have thought of this before, but that day it hit home…Some day, Bristol will grow up. Some day, she will have a boyfriend. Some day, she will be a TEENAGER. Some day, she will get married-have kids…Some day.

Well, Some Day has come too soon! Sunday (June 6), at Church, Bristol and little Amos (who is 3 months older than Bristol) were sitting on my lap and she layed one on him. It was cute, but a little scary…This is TOO SOON! I kept thinking to myself. Little did I know, our little sweetheart hadn’t had enough! Today (June 11, less than a week later), our friends stopped by with their son Ben, who is 4 days older than Bristol. She practically chased him down for a kiss! Now, she totally had the advantage, since Ben doesn’t walk. The poor kid didn’t know what hit him! Oh Lord Help Us! What have we gotten ourselves into?

Today, Bristol is 370 days old

Today is Sunday, May 16, 2010 and my baby girl is 370 days old. 5 days ago she had her 1st birthday…WOW!

Friday at her 12 month well-child check she weighed 21 pounds 10 ounces and 29 inches tall! The doctor didn’t have to tell us that she is amazing. She is running around keeping up with her brother, and making us laugh and smile every time we see her!

Saturday, we celebrated her. We covered our house with pictures of Bristol. We played, enjoyed the company of people we love and… ATE CAKE!

I am torn between complete sadness that the last year has gone by so fast, and this feeling of absolute joy and pride that you get when you see your child growing up. Complete love and adoration that you feel for your children. A love that can not be explained with just those 4 letters.

Memories of where we have been, excitement for what is to come.

Happy Half Birthday To ME!

lesalynn — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:37:49 +0000

Yes, you read that right! I am 29 and a half today. Yes, I acknowledge my 1/2 birthday From here, I have 6 months left in my 20′s, 6 months left before …. well, uh…the next 30 years of my life

This birthday has been looming in the horizon since my 25th birthday. Funny. I remember when I turned 25 thinking “Man! Now I am closer to 30 than 20…” I wasn’t sure what that meant, but the (almost) 5 years since then have brought many great things. Neil graduated from college, we got married and we had 2 beautiful kids, to name a few.

I am overwhelmingly blessed with the life the Lord has given me.

Feeling Beachy

lesalynn — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 07:37:00 +0000

A couple weekends ago we drove down to Grayland, WA (near Westport, WA) to visit my grandparents.

The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful for an early March day, it was close to 70 degrees…Beautiful! Kaeden really enjoyed the time on the beach and loved looking for treasures! I can’t wait to go back!

Peace Surfer Dudes!

Some 'gulls enjoying the low tide tasty treats!

Kaeden checking out his treasures!

JR playing in the shallow water

Bristol checking out the rocks

Tiny Footprints in the sand

Pooped!

We will be back!

Valentine’s

lesalynn — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 07:16:29 +0000

Here are our little Valentine’s.

Kaeden was trying to get her to sit with him, only the first picture actually worked

I hope you all were able to spend time with those you love on Valentine’s day!

Merry Christmas (yes, I know I am late!)

lesalynn — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 20:31:13 +0000

Christmas Morning. Kaeden was very excited to rip into all the presents that “santa” brought him. Bristol was more interested in the paper he was tearing off the presents!

I will be sure to post more soon. So much to write, but so little time

So, until then: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Groundhog Day and probably Happy Valentines day!

Dear Diary…

lesalynn — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 23:24:18 +0000

It has been brought up to me that I haven’t posted anything in a while, and that my last posting was very sad! Sorry about that!

A friend was recently joking that she used to “apologize” to her Diary for not writing. It made me laugh because I can remember doing the same, when I actually kept a diary/journal. I suppose this is one step up from that, apologizing to your blog But, since my blog has readers and my diary didn’t (I think) I am very sorry that it has been so long!

We have been very busy. We moved from our 2 bedroom apartment into a 3 bedroom house with a fenced in back yard! I can’t wait until it warms up a bit and Kaeden can use the yard for super fun play time!!! Christmas has also come, and gone. Amazing that this year is almost at an end.

I promise I will actually put some words with meaning and some PICTURES here for you all to enjoy very soon. Until then “Dear diary, I am sorry it has been so long since my last entry” !!

It is amazing how someone you have never met can touch your heart so much. I have been following the story of 4 year old Baily Bennett for several months. His fight touched my heart, his strength. He was an inspiration. He lost his fight to Lymphoma today. Having my own toddler, I can’t help but think of his parents and the complete helplessness they must have felt, are feeling. Since hearing their story, I kiss my kids goodnight an extra time (or two) at night, knowing how precious they are. Kiss your kids goodnight. Remember how blessed you are to have them. <3 Please pray for the Bennett family in their time of loss.

You can read their story here:
