The Hegwoods = M + C + J + C

Firsts...

2010-01-08T11:04:00.003-06:00

Charlie had his first "time-out" and had to sit in the corner. I had to leave the room, because I couldn't help but laugh. He kept looking down and then he'd peek at me and quickly look down again...all while saying, "so sorry...so sorry!"
Jackson got new ice skates. Living in the land of "Hockey" I figured he'd better start learning how to skate. I pulled him down to the lake in the sled...which was a workout for me but very fun.
He LOVED skating and I must say he's a natural. He got right up on his skates and starting going...he didn't even bend at the ankles. Chad and I might have a future of cheering on the bleachers in the skating rink. It might be a tough decision for him when he starts ski lessons next winter...you can only play one winter sport when you get into school.

Holiday Cheer #2

I couldn't post all the pictures in one post, so here's the second round of pics. We wish you a wonderful and safe New Year!

Jackson writing his note to Santa...

Charlie's new Wiggles car from Santa...he carries it around like a stuffed animal...

Jackson's tea party with Nora (he's having a long distance love affair at 3...should I be worried?)

Holiday Cheer

2009-12-29T21:54:00.003-06:00

The Hegwood's had a wonderful Christmas. We spend a week in WI, with Chad's family and catching up with most of our friends. Our trip to Chicago and our evening with the Malayter's were canceled due to bad weather...we were mad at mother nature, but except the face we live in the Great White North. When we returned to MN we spend Monday my family which was wonderful! Now we need a few days to relax.
Pictures:

5. The boys decorating (Charlie put one ornament on and off...on and off)

Order in the court...

2009-12-02T22:15:00.003-06:00

There could be future lawyers (Judges) in the Hegwood family! We went to the Federal building today to see where Uncle John works...kids had a great time in the court room and playing with all the ladies in the office.

Charlie plays trains while sitting in the train table drawer. And as you can tell...he gets really mad when he can't get out.

Mom + Wife + Plumber

2009-10-16T20:09:00.004-05:00

I had a minor problem with my drain...Chad was at the University...I had lunch guests on their way over...and dinner guests coming later that evening. There was no time for a plumber, so I took matters into my own hands. The drain is fixed. Enough said.
(Who ever said they didn't need a roasting pan?)

Plymouth Fire Station No. 3

2009-10-14T20:59:00.003-05:00

The highlight of last weekend was the afternoon trip to the fire station. The boys and I enjoyed a beautiful Minnesota Saturday (34 degrees) with our friends the Etzels...checking out the fire trucks, spraying the fire house and eating hot dogs. I've enjoyed reconnecting with my childhood friend Susie (Etzel) and getting to know her kiddos...we've been inseparable...not much different than when we were younger!

We don't have much to report from MN other than a couple inches of snow this weekend, Chad and I had a date night Saturday (we found a new wonderful Sushi restaurant), the boys have snotty noses which will last until April, the dogs are well and LOVED the snow, Chad is crazy busy and I luckily found out today that I don't have a stress fracture in my foot. My bone scan was clean so the Dr. thinks I have small tissue trauma (as he called it.) If the cortisone doesn't relieve the pain and inflammation within the next month then we are on to a cast and crutches. Keep your fingers crossed that that doesn't happen!Jackson LOVED spraying the fire house. He was very focused.
Charlie and his buddy Louie...poor little ones always have to be strapped in the stroller.
Something caught their eye and it wasn't my camera.
Charlie was screaming he was so excited to be standing on the firetruck next to his big brother!

Catch Up...

2009-09-30T14:35:00.013-05:00

I wasn't sure how to title this post...it could have been many things...Our Anniversary or The First Bug of the Season or The Puppies or Boys will be Boys...etc. We've been busy the past two weeks. Chad and I celebrated our sixth anniversary. We had dinner just the two of us at a new sushi restaurant in downtown Wayzata and a cocktail at Redstone with my parents and the Lidskys. I think we were home by eight because Chad had to study. We had a great time and after six years I would marry this man all over again! He continues to do well in school. He's not home very much, but his hours at the library are paying off. He did a GREAT job on his midterms last week.
This is my favorite wedding picture

The boys are great (we had our first bug of the season last week, fevers and diarrhea.) Full of life, laughter and mischief. They are developing the sweetest bond and are really starting to play well with each other (they are also great at "bugging" each other too.) Charlie is talking more and more everyday. Jackson continues to talk a ton (not sure where he got that?) and has the most incredible imagination. Here are a few of the latest Jacksonisms:

"Mommy, Afghanistan is all locked up...that's why Uncle Ryan can't come home until Christmas."

"When I grow up I'm going to be a recycle driver, no a garbage man, no a baker mom like you (I was making breakfast), no I think a Marine like Uncle Ryan and only a fighter fighter (Fireman) on Halloween."

We were at Church last week for dinner and one of the ladies pouring drinks asked me what I wanted and Jackson replied," decass (decalf) banilla latte."

They both have me laughing ALL the time!
They are NOT supposed to be on the counter. The chair has been moved!
Charlie LOVES my sisters' puppies Lula and Ries.
His shorts were up higher, but when he got ready to jump they fell down. He told me he was being a "diver man."
My brother-in-law Ryan wanted to see a picture of the boys next to each other, so he could see how big they are...he hasn't seen them since April. When he gets back from Afghanistan in December it will have been eight months...quit a change.

Last but not least...The Puppies. Lula spends a couple afternoons at our house as my sister Jill works full time and is in the part-time MBA program at the U of MN. (John well he works full time and has a busy social schedule.) I'm the official Doggy Daycare. The payback is great...Jill and John will be taking care of my kids and dogs when Chad and I go to Iowa City for the weekend in November. We love having her around and it's great for her to be with the kids and other dogs. Often times when we have Lula, Ellen will join us with Ries so the puppies can play. Its a crowd, but we love it. Miller has also found her favorite spot in the new house...right in the kitchen, close to the food and she can look out the front window.
Left to Right: Miller, Maizy, Lula and Ries

I hope you are all well and staying warm now that fall is upon us in MN. I did have to turn the heat on today. The house was 54 degrees this morning when we woke up...fine for me and Chad but a bit chilly for the boys. Next week we are off to the apple orchard. I will be sure to post pictures.

Wedding and a Haircut

2009-09-08T21:59:00.003-05:00

The boys and I had a wonderful weekend in WI. Jackson and Charlie loved seeing their grandparents and spending time with extended family. Chad and I also enjoyed spending time with family and sharing a wonderful day with our friends Laura and Zac as they "tied the knot." (I also cut off six inches of hair on Saturday morning...I love it!)

Mr. Pickle...

2009-09-08T21:50:00.003-05:00

is the newest member of our family. I was totally "suckered," by a three year old, into buying Mr. Pickle. He is pretty cute and it was fun listening to Jackson come up with a name for his new pet.

Charlie's First Haircut

2009-09-08T21:37:00.006-05:00

I'm surprised he sat in this chair without trying to stand up!

Thank God for suckers. It was his very first one and he LOVED it!

Look at that cute face...okay, I'm bias!

2009-09-02T21:41:00.004-05:00

It's only fair I dedicate a blog post to my fabulous brother-in-law John (because I already did one for Ryan.) Really there isn't enough time or space on this post to list all the reasons why he is just a GREAT guy! I love him dearly, my family loves him dearly and we love him most because he married Jill, for those of you that don't know her well...well let's just say my dad said, "no backs, no returns and no refunds. (We love you too Jill!) We surprised him last Thursday, for his birthday, at a restaurant in Minneapolis. We enjoyed wonderful food, drinks, desserts and laughs that made our sides hurt! Cheers to a wonderful man, brother-in-law, son-in-law, son, brother, husband and friend...I wish you many many more!

Hooray for cake...

Party Boy

2009-08-31T21:45:00.003-05:00

Jackson has been celebrating his birthday since August 8th...that is twenty-one days of "all about Jackson," so he thinks. We had a lovely brunch with the Minnesota clan. The cake was done by my sister Ellen's bakery...it was delicious. The kids were loud, the adults laughed and everyone enjoyed the company!

How can he be 3?

2009-08-29T22:19:00.004-05:00

We had a great day yesterday. Jackson picked out all his meals and activities for the day. He was insistent on Macaroni and Cheese and a cupcake from my sister Ellen's bakery. Ellen and the bakery owner put a candle in the cupcake and sang Happy Birthday...Jackson was all grins. His brother enjoyed the treats too!

And he's off...

2009-08-25T21:32:00.004-05:00

Chad started school yesterday. Sounds like he is going to be really busy but is definitely looking forward to the task at hand! I took these pictures right before he walked out the door. After he left Jackson told me, "Daddy looks really pretty." I told him, "yes Daddy dresses up very nicely and he's very handsome." At which point he told me he was handsome too..."like Daddy because we got dimples."

First Breakfast

2009-08-23T21:35:00.003-05:00

We are unpacked...well almost. I have a few boxes to get to, but the house is "livable." I finished the laundry/mud room today which feels great. I cannot thank my family enough for all their help. It's really hard moving with two children...I tell no lie! Chad is off to his big day tomorrow, day one of school. I'm really excited for him and a wee bit jealous. Now for me...off to bed!

Long time no update...

2009-07-29T10:50:00.002-05:00

Wow has the past month been crazy!!! I'd like to say I can now take a deep breath, but that won't happen for another month or so... We have been busy packing, finding a place to live in MN, seeing as many friends as possible before we leave WI, spending time with family, seeing friends from out of town, etc. Jackson is at pre-school today and Charlie's with his Grandpa Steve and Jackie. Chad and I are packing like crazy without our little helpers. And now, I'm stalling. I will try and get pictures up ASAP. Thanks for checking in and sorry about the delay in posts.

Priority Mail

2009-06-15T21:07:00.004-05:00

We (family and friends) made boxes full of "goodies" to send to Uncle Ryan and his platoon. Jackson got the job of hand stamping the customs forms with the Post Master in Elm Grove. He had a blast and told all the patrons in the USPS office that he was sending boxes to Uncle Ryan.

Ummm...!!

2009-06-15T21:03:00.002-05:00

Do you think we can leave the boys with her?

2009-06-01T20:41:00.003-05:00

Miller did a wonderful job "baby sitting" the other day. She did not let this baby move...for an entire afternoon nap. I'm wondering if she's up for the job of two toddlers?

Say Cheese!

2009-06-01T20:37:00.003-05:00

Both my boys love Auntie Ellie's pink cell phone...it's by far their favorite. I've asked her to give it to me when she replaces it. There is just something about a flip phone.

Worst Mother

2009-06-01T20:31:00.004-05:00

Charlie has been plagued by the "second child syndrome." He turned one on May 8th and I'm just now getting around to sharing a picture of his first bite of cake. He did NOT like it. It didn't help that he was overly tired and didn't fell well. The good news is, we've got more partying in the next couple weeks!

Deployed

2009-05-26T19:26:00.003-05:00

This post is for Ryan. We will miss you the next seven months and can't wait to see you at Christmas. You are a wonderful young man and my sister's lucky to have you has her "side kick!" We are lucky to have you as part of our family! God Bless you, America and all your men.

I'm so thankful for modern technology. My parents could never have documented me holding my sisters hand in the car, save it to their iPhone, download it to a computer and share it with all their family and close friends on a blog. Wonder what the boys will be able to do with the technology in 25 years?

Shish Kabobs or Birthday Cake...depends on who you ask?

2009-05-11T21:06:00.004-05:00

Chad and I were making shish kabobs for dinner last week. Our little helper made them into birthday cake. He stuck three skewers into the pepper and burst into song..."Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to MEEEEEEE, Happy Birthday to me!" Then..."How old are you...THREE...

It was a good laugh!

I know my brother gets this door open some how?

Gag Reflex

2009-05-03T20:36:00.002-05:00

The boys and I came to MN on Thursday and like always one of them got sick while we were here. Jackson had a fever on Friday and Saturday. So, I decided to say through the day today so he could get a nice long nap...in a bed, not in his car seat. My mom and I took the boys to the grocery store to pick up a few things for lunch and dinner. Jackson, for the first time, pushed his own "shopper in training cart" (which I had to supervise) and my mom pushed a "big cart" with Charlie. We were cruising through the grocery store, quite smoothly I might add, until we reached the dairy section. Jackson and I were following behind my mom and Charlie...next thing I know, Charlie had dropped a glass jar of baby food on the ground. Needless to say, we had a huge mess! I thought this was bad...oh, it gets worse...Jackson starts PUKING on top of the baby food. He's got the worlds worst gag reflex. So picture this scene, broken jar of baby food on the floor, puke next to it, a two year old saying "Mimi I puked...I puked", puke running down his arm...and my mom LAUGHING hysterically! Thanks Mom! I have to admit, it was hysterical and I was laughing the whole way to the bathroom. When Jax and I returned from the bathroom my mom was still in the dairy section laughing and we moved on and finished our shopping. Priceless!

Feeling Crazed!

2009-04-25T20:26:00.003-05:00

This has been a crazy week...packing, organizing, meeting with realtors, painting, planting...this list keeps on going! I'm looking forward to getting this work done, getting the house on the market and hopefully selling fast. Charlie had his first swimming lesson this week...he LOVED it. He is definitely a water baby. Jackson had a play date with his favorite friend Nora today. It rained all day today, so we went to The Big Backyard (indoor playground) and the kids ran like wild animals. Now I'm off to watch a movie with Chad...oh wait, who's he...? I haven't seen him in days...we've both been working like dogs and just keep passing each other in the house. It's all worth it. MN here we come.

Secrets are SO fun...!

The Police Man

2009-04-16T20:10:00.003-05:00

The Elm Grove Police showed up at my Mother-in-laws house today...hmmm??? He said someone from her house dialed 911 and hung up?!

Could it have been a little two-year-old?

Candy and Jackson had been upstairs playing office (which means pushing buttons on her office phone) and jumping on her bed. He must have dialed 911 and they hung up...came back downstairs and went outside. Next thing we know the police are at her house. Jackson asked why the police man was at Nonny's house and we told him he called him on the phone. He said, "I no get in trouble." We explained that we can't play with the phone and that the police man was worried about us so he was making sure we were safe. It's so hard explaining a situation like this to a two-year-old. He then got to sit in the car, see the flashing lights, watch daddy on the camera, etc. It was a fun experience, but I don't think there will be any button pushing in the near future!

Wonder what the Easter Bunny left? Just starting the hunt...

2009-04-13T19:50:00.002-05:00

Bubble Machine...so fun!

2009-04-13T19:48:00.002-05:00

Did you know the Easter Bunny leaves penguins hanging in the tree?

2009-04-13T19:46:00.001-05:00

Thank goodness my brother could reach it and bring it to me!

2009-04-13T19:43:00.003-05:00

Charlie bit my arm...

2009-04-11T20:44:00.004-05:00

I'm sure most of you have seen the YouTube video...Charlie bit my finger. Well, today at the Hegwood house we had our first case of little brother, bites big brother. They were both standing at the coffee table looking at books. Charlie wanted the book Jackson was reading, so he grabbed his arm and "chomp!" Jackson was ready to "crack" him over the head, but Dad thankfully was sitting right there and told Jackson to use his words and not hit. So, Jackson turns to his brother...points his finger and says, "No No Charlie, don't bite." And so the fun begins!

Day One of "At-Home-Mom"

2009-04-09T21:58:00.003-05:00

My first day home was just Charlie and me (Jackson goes to school on Mondays and Wednesdays.) We had a great day playing, reading, standing, walking around furniture and working on a daily napping routine. He hasn't had a routine the past six months, that's going to change. The other part of my day was spent scheduling swimming lessons, Charlie's one year old check-up, filling out Pre-school paperwork, etc. I got a ton accomplished!

Day Two of "At-Home-Mom"

2009-04-09T21:48:00.004-05:00

Day two we dyed Easter Eggs. Auntie Ellie and Uncle Ryan were in town so we had a great time together making a mess and trying not to mix colors. Ellie doesn't like it when you mix colors...it doesn't matter if you're only two. Jackson also had his first taste of a hard boiled egg....he was a fan of the "white part."

Day Three of "At-Home-Mom"

2009-04-09T21:47:00.003-05:00

Day three started with a "Banana Family." I was searching for something in the pantry and I hear Jackson say..."look Mommy, it's Mommy, Daddy, Jaxy Boy and Baby La...a Banana Family" His little brain amazes me every day!

2009-03-11T14:54:00.004-05:00

Where do I begin? The last week has been a whirl-wind-kind-of-a-week. Chad's grandfather passed away peacefully at home on March 6th. Chad was with him when he passed, which was a wonderful blessing. We will miss our "Papa" dearly, but will continue to celebrate his amazing almost 94 years!

Yesterday was my "Big 30!" The day started with a great laugh. Chad was on kid duty, so I slept until 7:45. That's late for me! He came in to wake me up and told me to look outside...he openned the drapes in our bedroom and to my surprise, there were 60, I repeat 60 pink flamingos in my front yard. In addition to the flamingos was a huge sign with a spot light that read Happy 30th Birthday Molly. My little sister Jill (Ellen too) came up with this plan and got the rest of the MN clan to contribute. It was hilarious. Jackson was a huge fan of the "Pink Ducks." When we left for school he said, "Bye ducks I'm going to school. Be good, don't fly away." On our way home he said, "Hi duckies, I'm home." To end the day, Chad and I had a wonderful dinner at McCormick and Schmicks. We will definitely be going back.

As I type...I'm sitting at Childrens Hospitals of WI. Jackson had his tonsils out this morning. This has been a long awaited surgery. We're hoping this will help with his breathing and snoring. We are very blessed he's been a rock star patient, so far!

Charlie...he continues to grow like a weed. He's up to 20 pounds. He got this third ear infection this week and his first tooth. Poor guy!

Where does the time go...?

2009-03-04T13:37:00.002-06:00

I can't believe it's already March 4th. I will be the Big 30 in less than a week...yikes! The last two weeks have been insane. I went to Kansas City last week for my last sales meeting with Harland Clarke. Maybe not my last, but my last for this patch of employment, I would love to back some day if it's the right time and opportunity. I will really miss the group of people that I once called co-workers and now call friends. It was a bittersweet gathering, but I'm excited to be home with the boys (all three.)

Chad's grandfather continues to decline. He's now home receiving Hospice care. What a wonderful group of nurses, Chad's family has been blessed with wonderful care during this difficult time. Papa, he is not going to go out without fight...he's just hanging on.

I have much more to write, but have a 9 mos. old hanging on my leg that needs a bottle. I will get caught back up...promise Jill. It's a good thing you've been so busy at work, you haven't had time to check my blog and give my &%$! about not having it updated.

Charlie's Vocal

2009-02-17T21:14:00.005-06:00

Charlie's had a couple "firsts" this week, neither of which I can help him with. Again, as a mom you never want your kids to struggle or be scared/angry. Charlie started pulling up on this own a couple weeks ago. This week he's figured out that once he's standing, he can't get back down. So he stands and screams until you come to his rescue. The other "first" Charlie had this week was yesterday. He cried for the first time when I dropped him off at school. I don't mean had a few tears, he screamed and was letting me know that he was not happy about being left. What a great way to start your week...

The best part of this story is...he is SO happy when I pick him up!

Dinosaurs

2009-02-17T21:05:00.003-06:00

We have a dinosaur problem at our house. Jackson will not go upstairs or in the back hall if the lights are dim...because, "there's dinosaurs Mom." Tonight was the first night he had tears because of the dinosaurs. Chad and I have been telling him that our dogs will scare the dinosaurs away and when we go upstairs we always say in unison, "Go away dinosaurs, go see Max and the wild things." The point of this post is, my little man is growing up and is recognizing that things are scary. As a Mom, I don't want him to be scared of anything, but it's one of those things I cannot protect him from.

Great News!

2009-02-11T14:23:00.003-06:00

I got a call this morning from Chad while I was pulling out of the grocery store parking lot. He had a very charged up-beat tone in his voice...I was curious what he was calling about. I was not expecting to hear what I did...,"guess what?...I got an email from the University of Chicago they have extended me an invitation to interview." At this moment all I could do was say congratulations, you deserve it and then I burst into tears. I was totally overcome by emotions...happy, relieved and thankful!

Happy: because he has worked so hard on his schooling (in the past), his work and most recently the applications for each one of these schools.

Relieved: that he is starting to hear from these schools and my life will not be in limbo much longer. The end is in sight.

Thankful: that he heard from this top school. Chad has always wanted to go back to school and would be honored to attend a school like the U of Chicago. I'm also thankful that his hard work has paid off!

Please continue to say your prayers and keep your fingers crossed that this interview (and others) become invitations for admissions!

It's the simple things that make me most HAPPY these days. I was in MN this weekend with the boys. Chad was home alone enjoying the peace and quite and obviously doing some purging and organizing. One of the best things about my husband is...he's an organizer. How does this benefit me?...Check out my pantry. It did not look this way when I left for MN. Thanks Honey!

For my sister

When I started this blog I wasn't really sure I'd have much to say or even enjoy putting my thoughts in writing. I have discovered just the opposite; I have a lot to say and enjoy writing about it. Then I was concerned that I would write too much and my readers would think I had nothing better to do...so..., I decided I would write once or twice a week. Apparently once or twice a week is not enough for my sister Jill! Those of you that will peek at my blog frequently all know my sister Jill and most of you know her well. We had a wonderful date, just the two of us, on Saturday night. We were chatting, enjoying great wine, dinner and conversation. As you know Jill is not shy about giving her opinion, hence I learned my blogging frequency was just not "cutting" it for her. I was informed that when she's bored at work she looks to my blog for entertainment, a laugh, a new pic, etc. I was very flattered and for that...I will keep the entries coming!

Music to my ears

This morning I was in the bathroom getting ready for church. I heard the pitter patter of a little two-year-olds feet running to find me, calling out Momma. I said, "I'm right here." He came racing around the corner grabbed onto my legs and said, "I love you so much!" I thanked him as I was wiping the tear out of the corner of my eye and said, "Do you know how much Mommy loves you?" His response, "most in the wide whole world!"

The message at church today was The Measurement of Love is to Love without Measurement. I think my little man already has this lesson figured out!

Baby Jesus & Sam's Club

We were at Sam's club last weekend. Jackson was in the child's seat in the front of the cart. Charlie was in the cart in his carseat. A couple approached us, they were probably 70, and asked Jackson what his baby's name was...his response was, "Baby Jesus, Mary and Jofess." The couple looked at me with ear-to-ear grins, as I replied..."Baby Charlie."

Movie Date

2009-01-30T20:27:00.000-06:00

Jackson went to his first movie today. We've been cooped up in the house for three days, so we had to get out. He's got pneumonia, so I needed a "low-key" activity. I was nervous about taking him to the movie, as he's only 2 1/2. I didn't know if he'd sit still, be quiet, fall asleep, etc. But I took a chance, how bad could it be on a school day at 11:30? Not bad at all! There were 15 people in the entire theater. The movie was very entertaining (I'm so glad I now have child to take with me to the kid movies.) We saw Hotel for Dogs, good choice for my little guy, he LOVES dogs. We got to our seats, popcorn in hand, got situated and I didn't hear another word from him...until, there was a labrador retriever on the screen and she shouted out our dogs names. It was so sweet. Oh yeah, he also informed me when I went for some popcorn that..."this my popcorn mommy, I only eat it all up!"

Mommy says "Sit Down!"
