The way I see it…

We’re leaving for the airport to fly to Florida in one hour! Whoop! (Did I just type whoop?!?) Since yesterday I’ve been cleaning and preparing like a mad woman. You see, there are only two things that truly motivate me to deep down clean my house. Having a party and going out of town. I […]

Gettin’ Along

For those of you that have spent time around my kids recently, you know that while they do love one another, they fight like cats and dogs. Literally, they make each other bleed! So this morning when they were playing in the basement and I heard them laughing and giggling for a good fifteen minutes […]

Rant

Just a quick rant to ease some frustration. I went to Country Club Car Wash today to have my nasty car washed. It was one of those that guide your car along, which I hate and I didn’t know that until I’d already purchased the car wash or I wouldn’t have done it. Anyway, I’m […]

Just because they fit…

So Lee had a special business program/dinner last night that I went to with him. Before we left I tried on my size 8 Gap slacks and they fit! They weren’t loose by any means, but they fit comfortably enough that I could move around and even sit without splitting them. I was so thrilled […]

The Next American Idol

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le_mnuyUFes] Here is Sloan’s YouTube debut. He loves to “play” American Idol. Note that the words to the song should be “Deep WAY Down” not Deep Where Down. The kid knows just what to do with a microphone. I have no idea where he gets that! A few desclaimers: First, he always wants me to […]

My boy Sloan, part 2

I thought of a few more Sloan stories that I wanted to document. Perhaps some of my fondest, and most embarrassing, moments, have been with Sloan learning the names of body parts. Let’s start with when he learned the name of his own body part. For all you psychologists out there who say it’s best […]

Meet Cody the Snowman

I’m so freakin’ ready for winter to be over, it’s ridiculous. We got 9-10 inches of snow today. 9-10 INCHES!!! It was crazy. Never mind that it was 76 degrees on Sunday. The kids were itching to go out and play all day but it was snowing so hard that we had to wait until […]

My boy Sloan

On Friday, Sloan and I had an awesome time of just sitting on the couch together talking and laughing and reading the Bible. At one point I asked him if he make sure to never get too big to sit on my lap and give me kisses and hugs. “Okay, mom,” he said. “But when […]

Immunization woes

Landon had his check up on Tuesday morning. He weighs a whopping 14 pounds! Pretty good for a kid that doesn’t eat hardly at all. He’ll hate that slow metabolism someday but for now it’s a good thing. He also got his first round of immunizations. I would love to hear some thoughts that some […]

Remind me…

…that trying to run outside when it’s 32 degrees out and you have a cold and you’ve only had a baby two months ago is a bad idea. Amy S., if you are reading this, I would just like you to know that you stink for making me think it would be a good idea […]
