That’s not water in the dog bowl...

This afternoon my oldest son Bradley, came running to me to tell me to look in our dogs bowl. The dog bowl is one of those raised feeders, so your dog doesn’t have to slouch down to eat. Well anyway, apparently it also works well as a urinal for my two year old son. It must have been the perfect height for my little man to just take a quick leak into. When Bradley announced what he had found, Dustin already knew he was in trouble. Before I could even get into the kitchen to see what was in the bowl Dustin had run to the step (where they have time out) and sat his little bottom on time out. I couldn’t help but laugh at the yellow water in the dogs bowl. I figure if I don’t laugh at some of the bad things my kids do, I will lose my mind. I must find humor in some of it.


For example the flood that took place in our one and only bathroom thanks to Dustin, and an entire roll of toilet paper. Not to mention a few weeks prior one of the boys had opened a bathroom cabinet near the bathroom door and somehow wedged the bathroom door shut. Daddy had to take the door all the way off the hinges just to get the bathroom door opened.

My boys are always getting into something. But I have found that it is usually always Parker, and Dustin. My oldest boy very seldom gets in any type of trouble. I am not sure why the younger two are always looking for things to get into.

Can't wait..

I am really looking forward to our family vacation to the beach this year. Our boys are a bit older this year, and are really looking forward to going to the beach. I love watching them build sand castles and play in the waves. Our vacation will be a lot shorter this year because of financial issues, but we feel our kids deserve to have a fun family vacation. After all they aren’t little forever. We want to enjoy it while it lasts. They have already grown up so much from last summer. They grow up so fast. Too fast!

Mom's B-day

Mom celebrated her birthday on April 29th. I made her a strawberry short cake. Bradley, Parker and Dustin were real excited about the cake. In fact before my mom could even get home, one of them had stuck their finger threw the whip cream frosting lol.


On Friday Brad and I took my mom out to dinner for her B-day, since we couldn't do it on Thursday. My brother and his family came also, and the restaurant really ticked me off. Instead of sitting us all together they put half of us in a booth, and the rest of us at a table diagonal from each other. Boy did that suck!! We couldn't really talk to one another, and even had different servers. But I still think it went OK. I hope my mom had a happy birthday.

6 brothers!

Just thought I would share that my stepdaughter Samantha will be having a 6th brother now. Sam's mom is also having her 3rd boy! Sam is not happy to be having another brother.


I am hoping when Brad and I have another child we finally have a girl. I would be estatic to have a daughter, and Sam would be so happy to have a sister.

Brad and I will be starting to TTC sometime this summer. My Dr. told me that if I plan on having another child I should do so soon, due to health problems I have. I was going to wait a bit longer before TTC another baby, but I guess it will have to be sooner rather than later. I just hope we are blessed enough to be able to conceive, and have a healthy baby, and not another miscarriage.

Picture Day

Today was picture day for Bradley & Parker at preschool. Bradley & Parker both promised me they would smile nice, and be good. As soon as Bradley arrived home from preschool today he ran to me, and told me how he had smiled real nice, and 2 times. I am really looking forward to seeing both Bradley and Parker’s pictures. I am predicting that Parker’s school picture won’t have a happy smile though. Parker has been smiling with a forced, gritted teeth type of smile, when instructed to smile. I always have to catch Parker off guard to get a good happy picture of him.

But anyway, since Bradley & Parker had their pictures done today, I figured I’d take a few of Dustin too. He is my little ham!
