Future Miss America?


Yeah, I think so too. Maybe even a super model! This is Delaney and she has got to be the cutest little girl EVER! She's so photogenic and just a sweetheart! Her mom (Nikki) swears she never taught her how to pose like that....but I think she's lying!

Well the other day the weather was beautiful and Nikki wanted me to take some pics of her fam. The trees are changing and everything is so pretty so why not? Here are some good shots we got. They are the cutest family. Love you guys!




I snuck a few shots of my kids in there. Rob and I are trying to go and get some family pics in the fun fall leaves but he's NEVER here to do it!!!



Kyler and Reven- Best friends!

Ouch!

This post has nothing to do with the one below (just so you know) but it did happen the same day. I guess Reven and Mason were climbing on the table when I told them not too and all the sudden you hear a loud crash and then Mason screaming. I picked him up and did a quick scan to make he was ok. Then I saw a little bit of blood in his mouth. That happens pretty much everyday around here, so I took him to the counter and got a paper towel. Well the blood keep pouring out of him and I still couldn't see the cut. Well I finally got most of the blood out when I saw the huge GASH on his tongue! I took one look and said "Rob....your turn I think I'm gonna pass out!" So Rob came in and I went the couch and put my head between my knees!

his teeth didn't go all the way through...but it's REALLY close! Poor guy, he seems to be fine but we are watching it closely. I can't handle boys!!!





Ewww

Best Purchase Ever!

Every once in a while we bust out the air mattress. You guys have seen it A LOT, but the videos still crack me up! Reven is getting more and more daring, Mason still has NO CLUE what he's doing, and The Hulk is just a tank,he'll throw himself wherever and not care! OH, and listen to their counting....what are we teaching them over here?









And then sometimes....someone gets hurt. But the footage is totally worth it! (raise your hand if you think I'm a bad mom. ok so since I can't see it it doesn't count. But honestly... these kids, they do it to themselves. It's not my fault if I just happen to catch it on camera!) P.S. Jesse was just fine right after this by the way.

22 years ago

Not many people can remember what they were doing EXACTLY 22 years ago. But thanks to the wonderful world of technology and video cameras... I CAN! My dad sent me this video he had, I am 3 years old outside my grandma's house finding rocks! Sooo cute and I think I look just like Reven!







And here are some pics I got from my mom while I was in AZ. I saw this one of me and swore it was Jesse. I guess I never realized just how much me and The Hulk look alike!It's always hard to tell with pictures though, you just have to live with him to see the resemblance I guess! What do you think?










He's such a stud!

Gymnastics

I have been saying for a while that I wanted to put Reven in a gymnastics class. He is so acrobatic and jumps and tumbles all over the house, might as well let him get more skilled at it right? Well I put him in a class! My friend Maria was wanting to put her little boy who's Reven's age in there so we did it together. Rev absolutely loves it! He's so cute doing it too, I love when they stretch in the beginning....4 year olds= funny! The class is almost done and I would love to put him in the next round but it's SO expensive! How come any class/sport for kids is so much money?? Oh well, maybe when we get out of here I will put him in more for sure!



Here is Issac (Maria's son) and Rev stretching!



These video's are pretty boring....but I'm proud!

Set the Danger level to Red

I'm telling you, it's getting out of control!





Future Linebacker? I think so

I love the park

And so do my kids! Is there anything better then riding your bike as fast as you can when you are a kid? I don't think so!

Fried Cheerios

NO the title of this post is not a metaphor, I am really talking about fried Cheerios! As long as I can remember my mom has made this. You simple take a frying pan, add butter and Cheerios's and salt. Fry them up till they are golden brown and smothered in butter & salt and EAT! They are Soooo yummy. I know it sounds weird but really this is the 21st century, what isn't fried now a days? We used to make them and eat them when we would watch a movie instead of popcorn. We would even sneak zip lock bags of them into movie theaters too! (that and spoons and 1/2 gallons of ice cream , but that's another story.) ANYWAY try it you wont be disappointed, it's a fun snack! Thought I would share.

PS. How boring is this post??? I need to work on some excitement around here!

A Travesty !

3 weeks ago I was sitting down watching a movie with my kids. I kept hearing this funny noise and kept looking around but didn't see anything. when I still heard it I thought why is my ring making a weird noise? I took it off and this is what I found........






WHAT????? This is my wedding ring, and I was freaking out!!! how did it get broken? when did this happen? Needless to say I was bawling, this ring is only 6 years old, it's not supposed to brake! Man, I really hope this isn't a sign of what's to become of our marriage! I didn't know what to do, I called Nikki and I was freaking out asking what should I do. She told me to call the place I bought it from (I didn't even think about that) so I call them and this is how the conversation went down....

Me: I bought a wedding ring from you guys 6 years ago and it just broke in half and I don't know what to do. HELP!!!

ring guy: Did you purchase insurance on the ring?

Me: (Looooong pause) STUPID MEN!!!

Ring guy: (laughing) yeah, none of the men that come in here buy it!

He told me to call a goldsmith or jeweler because they could probably fix it. So I called around to like 6 different places and they were all SOOO rude to me. I decided if they were rude on the phone then they didn't deserve my business. Well I finally called one by my house and she was so nice to me and told me to come in so we can see what damaged had been done and get an estimate. You should have seen me and my 3 boys in the jewelry store. They were going nuts, and running around I felt so bad. While I am practically crying because they told me the ring had "porous" in the gold and I needed a new setting. But then the nice jeweler told me he would fix it but he just couldn't guarantee it. That was ok with me, I want MY ring!

They told me that in order to have broken the ring they way I did I would have had to BRAKE MY FINGER because it would have been smashed so hard. To this day I still don't know what happened to it. I am very very cautious when it comes to my ring because I love it so much. I don't even sleep with it on. So I have no idea, I just know I am so lucky that it didn't snap off my finger and I loose the whole thing! So after a lot of talking and crying Rob said I could fix it. So I went today.....


It's BEAUTIFUL! they guy did SUCH a good job, you can't even tell it was so broken! He re-dipped it and cleaned both the ring and my band and it's gorgeous! Soooo worth the money that we really don't have right now. But I have to have my ring right??

Binki FREE!!!

That's right my friends.....

THIS


And THIS

Are gone, YEA!!!! We have been meaning to get rid of these binki's forever and were just very lazy about it. Plus they only used them when they slept (and of course the boat!) but we still need to lose them. Well we got rid of it a week and half ago and it's going well. Mason has been and angel is doing great and never asks for one. Jesse....not so much! He screams all the time and doesn't take a long nap anymore and wakes up at 5 in the morning but HEY at least his teeth wont look like this.......


We are happy and are glad we got rid of those things! I have beautiful children!





PS. I was messing around with my hair the other day and was contemplating giving myself full bangs again instead of side ones that I have now. What do you think? I know they are long now but if I chopped them for real how would they look?
