lazy summer days

they are growing up much too quickly

Is there anything better then shopping with 8 kids?

Umm yeah.......thats what I did yesterday. Poor customers at JC Pennys. I dont think they even know what hit em'. Between Cavin and Caden fighting over who gets to sit on the bottom of the cart, Travis throwing his fries at that ladys feet, (sorry bout the ketchup on your socks ma'am) the girls arguing over shirts, and Colby constantly yelling at all of them.....that Chason peeing in the parking lot with his pants around his ankles was just the perfect ending to our day. Oh and to the woman who drove by laughing....bite me.

Look at my beautiful quilt my mom made me.

She worked so hard on it and it turned out sooo well. Shes always makin something. Chason still wears his monkey hat and I still get comments all the time about how cute it is and where did I get it from. She's so crafty, but guess what....I am so crafty I can make people! Bwahaha!

My mom is awesome, and I am lucky to have her

Happy Birthday Caden!!!!

8 years ago I woke up on my 26th birthday with contractions and ended up having my 2nd son, the one whos giving me a run for the money, little mischevious Caden. Caden. Just saying his name makes me smile. He was 4 weeks early, and hes still an impatient kid, lol. He was so excited tonight to go out to dinner. He got to pick the place, and he loved not having to do any chores at all today. He's the kind of kid who always has a plan of attack. He's always got something up his sleeve. He can be so sweet and loving, and totally considerate, but he is also the kind of person who will trust you whole heartedly, until you do him wrong. And then, you'd better watch out! I love how different all of my kids are. They give me the much needed fuel to keep going on those rough days.

husbands.........

So my hubby tells me hes gonna "help" me out. Yay! Wonderfull! Right? He decides to hold the baby while I finish giving Cavin, Chase, Trav, and Caden a bath. All after I cook dinner and clean up 2 loads of dishes all inbetween me nursing, rocking, and holding him myself. Then, I have to go re-wash the 3 loads of laundry he tried to help out doing. (note to hubbys....putting 3 loads of laundry all into 1 wash results in wife re-washing clothes to get all the soap clumps out)

Soon, I can hear the baby start to fuss, even sooner after that, hubby places baby back into my arms......while I am wiping up the water on the bathroom floor from the bath of 4 kids.

At least he tried....right? Its a good thing I love him....

Make a move and the bear gets it!!!

So my daughter comes upstairs crying because, alas, her poor teddy has lost his head. Do you know how hard it is to keep a straight face when someone shows you this?

So now I gotta make sure I get some brown thread next time I go to Walmart, and perform a head replacing surgery on poor poor teddy.
