Daughters

To start out I would first and foremost like to say I love my boys and I would not trade them in for anything or anyone in this world. With that said I would also like to say if you have a daughter you are one of the luckiest women I know. Here are a few reasons: you will always be taken care of, she will always tell you if you're wearing the wrong clothes or if you have something in your teeth, you will be the only person in her cell phone under the name of mom, she really dose care about what you think even if she says she doesn't, and the number one reason is.....you tell me she's your daughter. I'm not sad about not having a daughter in fact I always use to tell myself I only want boys because I wanted to be the only girl in my house. To tell you the truth I really don't need a daughter I have a family full of them: Meghan, Deedee, Sheri, Katie, Kali, Melia, Sarah, and soon to be Charlotte. So in closing I would just like to say if you are a mother of one of these very strong very special women/girls you are very, very lucky which..... you already know.

PB&J

I'm bloging about PB&J mostly about "J" as in Jelly that's all over my house. My boys could live on PB&J but I have come to hate it and this is why..... Their is jelly everywhere in my kitchen. Everytime I turn around I'm putting my hand in jelly. Jelly on the sliding glass door, jelly on the walls, jelly on the table, jelly on the refrigerator door handle, jelly on the cereal boxes, and jelly on the kitchen counters. I'm sure you are thinking "oh how cute you live with preschooler and they are learning how to make PB&J's WRONG! I live with teenagers. After telling them about it more times than I would like to admit I have decided to ban jelly and maybe syrup from my house. I'm sure you're all thinking "oh what a bad mom" Yes I am and as I tell my boys "I'm the worse mom EVER". In closing I would just like to say, boys if you're reading this blog you better find a new favorite food because your PB&J days are over..... next on the list waffles.

Sarah

Here is one of my favorite pictures of Sarah, aka Princess Pigbear she is the happest baby I have ever known. I think it has alot to do with her parents.....

One More Month

Well it looks like it's going to be at least one more month before we're able to move in. We were really hoping for the end of May but it looks like its going to be more like middle of June.

It's a Dogs Life

I seem to have left out two members of our family since I've started this blog. Baylee who is 5 and Bo who is 2. They keep life fun and interesting. In fact just the other day Bo was chasing a half dead bug around the bedroom. He was determined to get it but little did he know it was stuck to his lip (probably drowned in his slobber). This is the type of thing Bo does, Baylee on the other hand is much more intelligent. She likes to gather rocks in her mouth (about five at a time) and then drop them into a pile, this is how she keeps herself intertained during the day.


Bo....................................................Baylee

Hanging Out

On Sunday (Mothers Day) Glenn and I spent the day together, something we don't do very often. The boys were off doing their own thing so we decided to do our own thing. We went to Mt. Madonna where Glenn took target practice shooting paper animals with his bow and I took target practice shooting nature with my camera. Here are a few pictures from our time together.

The Sisters Three

.........Betty............Dixie........Earlene

On Thursday my Aunt Earlene who is 11 years younger than my mom and who I haven't seen in over three years came for a visit. She is an aunt that I was never very close with. My Aunt Betty who is 4 years older than my mom is my favorite. It is amazing to me how three women who came from the same parents could be so different in so many ways.

6th Grade Shoes

Apparently shoes are very, very important to a 6th grade boy...A few weeks ago Glenn, Aaron & I were on our way to Glenns softball game when I had a great idea. I decided to drop Glenn off at his game and take Aaron to get a new pair of shoes. You see Aaron has been going through shoes like I crazy. He seems to wear one shoe out faster than the other and he tells me this is because of how he rides his skateboard. I kept telling him I'm not buying you new shoes every month so you better make them last. He's made them last alright he's been wearing two different shoes for the past three months. They were both black so I don't feel to bad but still they weren't even a pair. So here's how my plan unfolded, I dropped Glenn off at his game and I told Aaron that I needed to exchange something at the store. As we were getting back on to the highway he looked at me and said were are we going? I said to Bill's Wheels to get you a new pair of shoes. His mouth dropped open and he said "Are you Kidding?" I smiled and said nope and then he said "You Swear?" and I said yes Aaron I swear..... This picture is of a very, very happy 6th grader

He's Still Got It!

Yesterday the boys and I went over to Mom & Dads to eat pizza and to see Meghan & Dave get their big surprise. Dad had made a cradle for Charlotte (who arrives in July). Needless to say they loved it and were overwhelmed with emotion and joy. My Dad is 72 years old and has always been Mr. Fix it. As long as I can remember he was either building something, helping someone fix something or fixing something for me. I feel so lucky to have watched him through out the years fixing things. Because of him I know how to snake a drain, change my oil, install a faucet, use an electric drill and so many other things. But as long as he's around I'll be asking him to do it. And as far as concerned "He's My Dad and He Can Do Anything"

Only Yesterday

It seems like only yesterday they were playing with toys and pretending they were Ninjas, now the toys have been replaced with cars, skateboards, MP3 players and girls.....And I ask myself, what did I do to deserve them?
