Trouble in the Making

What do you do with 5 cousins...all boys? You say things like "if you play fight I don't want to hear about it when you get hurt!"

First Day of School

I realize this is rather belated...in fact there is a lot of blogging that I am behind on. Excuse 1: We are doing the preschool thing three days a week. Excuse 2: I think I am having blogers block...is that such a thing? What is worse boring blogs or no blogs at all?
Can you spot what is wrong with this picture? Look at the feet...he knows which shoe goes on what foot, but sometimes he does it wrong just to try to get a reaction. I feel it is my job to not react...if you see my child with backwards underwear, pants or shoes just know that he is crying out for attention:)

How did the past four years go so fast?

Confessions of a Not-So-Put-Together Mommy

Okay here it is...I don't write down my children's weight or measurements after their well child visits. If you were to ask me how much my child weighed at 6 months I would have two choices 1. to stare at you blankly or 2. make up a lie. I would love to tell you that if you looked inside their scrapbook you could find a page with all this information, but that would require a scrapbook...which is another confession for another time.

I also find it perfectly acceptable to run my child during the day, give the a bowl of popcorn and set them down in front of the TV, in my book a nap is a nap!

Spotting your 3 year old after realizing that none of the 7 adults you are with know where he is: Priceless

Poor baby had been running a fever for the past two days, he still does not look like he feels good.

This is how he spent a good part of the day.

Back from the Beach

We spent the last week in California with Michael's family. These pictures are from our last day and night as we enjoyed the beach. Now I am more of a pool person myself as my hair can only hold out for about 45 minutes near that much water before it is a complete ball of frizzy mess. I did take one for the team however and stayed a little longer before pulling my family back to the hotel. Brayden had a terible heat rash all over his little face and body from the day before so he stayed in with the grandparents and took a nap. I don't have any pictures of him so just imagine a pathetic little spotted boy passed out in a pack in play.

Cousins

Mason enjoyed swimming in the sand, we are still cleaning it out of his ears.

You Tube

A couple years ago I walked by and found Mason standing on his bed singing "The Lord's Army." I thought it was kind of cute so I grabbed the video camera and recorded him. I wanted to share it with the grandparents and decided that You Tube would probably be the easiest way. Now I have to admit that I had not really done anything on You Tube before and have not actually uploaded anything sense, but that is not the point. Tonight I decided to search and see if I could find it, which I did and it has had 640 views...really. Now I think my two year old in a t-shirt and diaper, standing on his bed, singing is cute, but what random person wants to watch that? I also realize that there are many other videos of kids with many more views than this but lets just do the math on this one, 640 view of a 54 second video equals 9 hours and 36 minutes that this poorly recorded video has played. That kind of creeps me out.



and because I just know you are dying to see this video I have hyped up:
