My brain...

must be shutting down... cause I watched The Superstars with the boys last night. Basically a bunch of athletes and "celebrities" get together on teams and compete "athletically". And after last night's episode I put the boys to bed and came down to do the dishes, and I couldn't get the stupid thing out of my head!!! I was so indignant. Snotty little supermodels and poorly executed challenges... You don't really have to follow this link. But this is what made me so mad. I was fuming while doing the dishes, and I eventually told myself, "Self. It's just a (dumb) show!! Go watch some Colbert." So I did. And then I felt better.

Poor guy was probably trying to not get an injury. Dumb dumb dumb.

:D

A week in pictures...

I just had a bowl of grits, so now I can focus. :) And I'm already ready for a second bowl, thank you.

The boys have played. (I love this picture!! Most of the time they play really well, but once it's over it is OVER.)


Me n SamBam ... he got a haircut tonight, but I didn't take pics of that yet.


David has discovered he has a dog. I suppose once you turn seven, you realize that you should probably play an active role in your pet's life. He carries the dog everywhere, insists on sleeping with him, always has him in his lap if they are watching movies... I am actually really happy cause I have been worried that we weren't giving him enough attention lately... now he has it, like it or not!! (Here they are making him howl. If you've been lucky enough to hear a Hercu-Howl, you know what this is. If not... too bad for you. :)


Hubby's unit had a Family Day last weekend. It was really fun! They even had a bouncy/velcro thing for the kids to play on, and pulled in all the vehicles for them to crawl through. Ike Ike attempted to jump in a velcro suit ( I was so proud) and just ended up getting stuck to the wall! It was so funny! Daddy had to pull him down!





SamBam reminded us why we have kid-proof door handles, and that we need to shut the doors all the way for them to work. He likes chocolate milk. This makes chocolate milk. This must be eaten. Right?


Big D's Cub Scout Pack went to some caverns. They had fun, but Big D was really nervous before hand! Bats! He is spending this week at Cub Scout Day Camp and I will try to get some pics of that as well!

The tooth fairy....


Will be visiting us tonight, as David just lost his second baby tooth! It's the one on the bottom. He's already got a grown up tooth popping through too!

Nathan



Happy Father's Day to my funny, clever, talented hubby!!!! Such a good daddy!!

Father's Day

So I was roaming through some old family photo albums, looking for a specific picture to put up here today, and I realized that I really don't have ANY pictures of us and my dad. Oh, sure I have some, but most of the time Dad was the one behind the camera, capturing the memories on film for us to remember! There was one picture in particular that I wanted to use, but I'm not exactly sure where it ended up... it was a picture of us and dad in the middle of a Christmas Tree farm and I'm pretty sure we had either just cut a tree, or were cutting one, but if I remember correctly, Matthew was on Dad's shoulders and we were around him. I always loved this picture, but I'm not sure what happened to it back in February when we split up the photos... In fact, last spring (08) we had a garage sale to get rid of a lot of the stuff from mom's storage unit and the only time I really got choked up about seeing any of it go, was when a man bought my dad's old work gloves. They were pretty ratty, but to me they symbolized our Christmases cause Dad would wear them to cut the tree. Dad always makes our Christmases special.

Happy Father's Day, Daddy! Wish we were there to celebrate with you!!



Oh, your card is sitting right here next to me, on my desk, next to Matthew's birthday package... I'm so good.

JUNE 12

So, today is June 12th. My Lovey's birthday!!! I just wanted to share a few memories!!!


Matthew turns 1... why so sad!? It's CAKE!


I'm guessing this is Old Hickory Lake, near where we lived in Nashville. (Nice hair, Frank.)


What?! Our family camping?! Actually I remember this trip. Quite fun. And Matthew's pose was... typical Matthew, finger in the belly button, thumb in the mouth. (Nice hair, Frank.)


Don't know where this was, but that's me and my lovey. (Nice hair, Sara.)


Requisite childhood soccer.


This is one of my favorite pictures. Mom worked nights and would have to sleep during the
day. This picture was taken while she was sleeping one day. She had a pair of black sweat pants that she wore a lot and Matthew snuck in her room and painted a smiley face in cheez-whiz on her behind, and I took a picture! :D


The Boy Scout.




Hottie McLovey (Eagle Scout in Progress)


Serving.


Yummy pomegranate, Matthew?


Matthew and his Lovey. :) Aren't they CUTE!?!

Happy Birthday, Lovey! Miss you!!!

Updates

So I realize I haven't been posting much lately. Basically I just don't have the will power to make myself sit at the computer and type.... or I'm tired, or busy, or hurting. (Yeah, seems that injury I got last September has come back to haunt me... I'm going to a physical therapist for it, I just have to have a note from my OBGYN first... BAH!)

Anyways, we have been busy. I'll just upload some pics (Blogger takes FOREVER sometimes!)

These are some pics from David's End Of Year Pack Meeting. He became a WOLF!!! Yay, David!!





And Nathan is gonna be his den leader for Wolves next year. Not too sure how I feel about that. :)

A few weeks ago, we hiked up Enchanted Rock. When Nathan asked David what type of rock it was, he replied, "Enchanted." :D

We took a lot more pics than just these, but like I said Blogger takes forever, and dinner is cooking! :)




And we had a Girls Nite Out in the ward a few weeks ago! It was SO fun... theme was 80s night! I attempted to channel Pat Benetar! :) Kelly and I totally rocked the karaoke!




Nathan has been finishing up his last week of AT. So he's been busy with that. I've finished Homeschool for this year with David. To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm up for it again next year. This pregnancy has been tough on me in many ways, and I just don't know if I can do the BEST I can for David right now. :(

Today we were laying on the boys bed, playing and talking, and David laid his head on my tummy. Then he asked how big it was gonna get, and I showed him with a hand how big I thought my tummy might get. He asked how the baby laid in there, and I told him it was kinda squinched up in a little ball. He replied, "Like the Transformers Cube?" Yes, David. Just like that. :D
