Infomercials

This man captures the boys' attention in a way a mother could only dream. Anytime his loud, obnoxious voice is heard they stop what they are doing and watch in awe.


This is what Ryan thinks we should get Nick for a just because gift.


This is what he wants me to have.

What a sweet thought...

The Dunce Award Goes To....

Today as I'm loading the kids in the car I place my water bottle and wallet on top. I remember putting them on the front seat after Liv is loaded and off I drive.

Well...you can see where this story is going can't you?

I return home and find the water bottle I thought I had put on the front seat in the ditch at the bottom of the driveway. No Wallet.

I walk the Cul-de-Sac.

No Wallet.

I'm only blogging about this since the chilluns are asleep..otherwise I'd be looking...

Poor Lost Wallet.

They just appeared

So Liv has been a little grumpy lately but nothing to bad. I've been looking for the little white nubs indicating teeth were coming but nothing. Today she was gnawing on my finger and it hurt! There are two beginnings of teeth that have pushed through!!! I'll get pictures as soon as you can see them.

She Likes It!

Just thought I would show the world what a beauty we have even with a double chin and dirty prune face!

I love it!

This is the amazing frame I received for Christmas. No pictures in it yet but that will be soon!

When I Grow Up...

Today we were talking about what the boys wanted to be when they get big. This was our conversation:

Ryan: I want to build and fix houses!

Drew: I want to ride a motorcycle and beat up bad guys!!

Ryan: I still want to build houses.

Ryan: And Liv wants to be a doctor.

Drew: Oh.
