Hello Tooth Fairy!

Ok, so here are some of the pictures I promised!

Please excuse his fruit punch face, I tried my best to get it off! If anyone knows a good way of getting those off of a kid's face, I would love to know. I tried water and then baby wipes.... oh kids!



And another of my handsome hamm! I still can't believe he has lost his first tooth!

And of course what post is complete without pictures of Bam Bam! This is when he first opened his kitchen/grocery kit. He could sit and pretend eat and make things for hours!

Gotta love these chubby cheeks!!

I think that is about it for me. I am at work to make up for our date night on Tuesday, so only a little bit longer and then I can go home!!

We are thinking of having a movie night, just trying to decide what movies to watch. I have never seen Star Wars, so that is a possibility. Or maybe we will watch Harry Potter.... or who knows! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

and just when I was doing well!

Sorry folks, I promise I am still here!! As soon as I was done working night shifts my life became all sorts of busy again.

What is new?

Well, the biggest news is Cory lost his first tooth! I have pictures and will post them very soon. It was a hard and very emotional time for me. At first I thought there MUST be something wrong because he is only 4, then after doing some research I found 4 is not necessarily uncommon. Then, I hit this emotional obstacle I needed to overcome. My first baby is not so much a baby anymore. He will forever be my baby, but he is growing up! Yikes, this is hard. My mom has warned me that it does not get easier, ever.

Coltan is doing great. He is growing so much. He is such a funny kid. He lives to entertain, haha. His new best friend is the grass, it figures that now he loves it!

The girls are also doing great. Summer is here, full force. I had so much fun doing their hair last week. I am not sure if anyone is familiar with "rags" but basically you cut up a towel and you can roll their hair up in these "rags" and in the morning it is curly sue for the hair, haha. They looked so adorable.

Dustin and I had a night out last night which was UHHHHHH-mazing! We haven't had a night out, like that, in far too long. We went to dinner down at the Arena District which was surprisingly good, I wish I could remember the name of the place haha. Then, it was off to the Offspring & Dropkick Murphys concert which was absolutely fantastic! Then we ran out of there and made it to the theatre for the midnight showing of the (new) Transformers movie, which was also magnificent! Then we made it back home around 3:00 am.... only 2 hours before Dustin would usually have to be at work, haha. Poor guy, but he was a trooper and I think he also had a fun night. Of course he did, what am I saying!!

Well, just a little family update. I hope everyone is having a great week!

Late nights mean way too much thinking.

My LAST NIGHT working audit, at least for the time being. YAY!! I love the peace and quiet but working this late shift has really messed my whole entire life schedule. Tomorrow will be a rough day, but then Wednesday morning we are back to normal!

I received my Biggest Loser books today and I am hooked. The books are just as good as the show except they explain everything a little bit more, which is perfect. I am ready for my schedule to get back to normal so my life can resume as normal again, and then I can start this program. I am going to try and get my family in on a competition too, Lord knows it is so much easier to keep motivated when it is a competition.

Well, I need to finish our 3 week menu and finish all my stuff up here at work. Only 55 minutes left. I can't wait to hit the bed!!!

Blast from the past!

My lovely parents sent me these pictures, which I thought I would share with you all.


This is my father... the face says it all. (Love you Dad, you are awesome!)

This is my gorgeous mother, the best a girl could ask for.


The first Hagerdorn Family photo circa 1983 or early 1984.
My dad holding me at Niagra Falls!

Look at my cheeks!! That is my beautiful grandmother holding me!

Of course I had to post this! This is me, in avaitors, hanging on the training potty... lovely, I know =).

I hope you guys enjoyed my blast from the past, they are so fun to look at. I wish I could say I remember these days, but obviously I don't, but it is fun to reminisce!

I love the weekends

Today we went over to my parents house and grilled out, and of course had a fabulous time! The big news from today is Tata (Aunt Teri) healed Coltan of his fear of grass!!






After he realized that grass is fun he was all over the yard. He would throw his little ball, run after it, pick it up, and throw it again.

Cory also had a blast, as usual he was on the go-go-go.



Yes, he is in love with those boots. He wears them with anything and would probably wear them all day & night if he was allowed. Gotta love the 4 year old fashion statement!


Emma hamming it up before the ribs came. We didn't have adult bibs so my genius Mom used the disposable baby bibs. Seriously, great job Mom you saved some clothes!

No, mom isn't doing anything crazy to Chloe... just helping make the bib fit haha.

One of my favorite characteristics in children is how they can switch moods in a matter of seconds. Take Cory for example:

Minute 1:


Minute 2:



But, now you all see why he can get away with anything. His pouty face is enough to make me cry!

And just to wrap up the post 2 extra pictures of those adorable little boys.



I am working another night shift, if you couldn't tell by my long picture posts! I am starting to get the hang of this. I do apologize for my previous post if the pictures are not sized right, I am still learning.

In addition to a wonderful day with the kids, I forgot to mention I joined the Biggest Loser online club. I am dedicated to finding that happy medium of getting in shape, staying in shape, but still having fun with the family. I just started last week so we will see how it goes, I am hoping for a huge success =).

A wee little picture update from May 2009

So, just in case you haven't seen the family lately here is a tiny (haha) picture update from May. I hope you enjoy!




Nana and Coltan, he adores his Nana!!

I honestly have no idea what is bugging Cory in this picture, but his face is still too angelic for words!

Daddy and Coltan playing a little Guitar Hero... he will be a PRO by the time he is 3!

Coltan learning how to ride on his bike... of course on the cement because at this point he was scared to death of grass. That crazy and evil grass, haha.

Later in the month we visited the park. Nana and I may have put Coltan in the middle of the field to get him to like the grass... it almost worked. He looks like he is having a good time here! What you don't see is when he got to us it was all tears and you must pick me up, haha.

Cory and Emma at the park.

Coltan enjoying a little slide fun!

Cory REALLY enjoying some slide fun, haha.

A precious picture of Chloe.

Sisters... Sisters... Emma and Chloe are SISTERS!!

We can only describe this as Emma doing the upside down crab on the monkey bars.

I am looking at this beautiful picture of Cory, and now wondering where on earth are his shoes? what a crazy child!


Cory at the Zoo, his second home haha.

Cory and Nana touching different types of sea creatures... and Papa is there too, but he is behind the camera being a wonderful photographer!

Nana and Cory at the zoo, he adores his Nana but who doesn't??

I wish I understood HTML

So why on earth are the links at the top not working?

I need to learn how to make my own blog design rather than depending on a template.
