I love Sundays...they are my favorite day of the week! Yesterday was exactly what I love about them.
*Sleeping in (well, if you have kids, you understand this is not even close to what sleeping in used to be!!!)
*Family Breakfast
*Church (ok, and minus the inevitable yelling and racing around trying to find shoes, get kids in the car, etc that has to happen in order to get to church)
*Baby (and I use that term loosely) rocked to sleep
*Jereme snuggles with one boy, I snuggle with another boy for short naps
*Little boys make a picnic of blankets on the floor to eat nachos and watch was has to be the most annoying video ever, Fireman Sam, while Jereme and I have a "date" with our nachos at the dining room table and catch up for the first time in a week (or more???)
*Play time!!! Wrestle-mania (for the boys)
*Go for a drive with the windows down out in the country
*Books and bedtime for the little people
*Ice cream sundaes (why are my pants too tight again????) and Friday Night Lights

Rodeo!
We headed to a great local rodeo this past week. I love going places like this b/c I am a BIG people-watcher and folks, let me tell you, there is NO PLACE like a local county fair, demo derby and or rodeo to get some solid people-watching. Anyways, the below items may or may not have occurred on our visit thus essentially assuring we are the people people-watchers are watching.
*I might've told my son his $3 ear of roasted corn was fine after he dropped it on the gross concrete shortly after opening it.
*One of my 4-year-olds may have lifted up my skirt from behind for all sorts of unfortunate people to view while my hands were occupied trying to carry Luke and a diaper bag.
*It's possible I did buy a bag of cotton candy for EACH child and proceed to let them eat the entire thing during the rodeo. Then, I remembered why I don't ever buy cotton candy.
*At one particularly restless point, we might have let Luke beg the people sitting next to us for a "bite? bite? bite?" until they felt obligated to share their food with him. And, then the 4-year-olds.
*I may have told the little boys to meet me outside the bathrooms not knowing I would need to tell them to meet me out there with their pants UP...really?? Do I have to be that explicit? Ok, so maybe they have troubles snapping jean shorts but pull them up for crying out loud!!!
*Speaking of our sweet children may have worn cowboy boots with their jean shorts...or should I be calling them jorts???
REDNECKS!!

A few vacay pics
Luke's face as we rode the train up Pike's Peak...I can't say I disagree...also note the black eye!
Me and the boys...our one shot for 2011 that still proves I was around...don't the boys look delighted??
This kid is a squirrel!!!!
Jorden! Almost always a good cheeser!
Family pic--Jorden, hiding behind my leg, starting to get some altitude sickness!
Just for the record, I am unsure how it is August and almost time for our "baby" to turn 2!!!
And, I am also unsure how it happens that looking at the calendar for this month, I realize Jereme will be gone the next 11 out of 15 business nights!?!? That guy has the life. Hold on, wait, what? Oh yes...I am sitting in my chair in the middle of the day drinking a pop getting ready to read while my children take a nap...ok, ok, ok...I think I have that backwards. I am pretty sure I got the good end of this deal!!!

It's never too late
For a 4th of July post, right? I just wanted to be able to share with you what we listened to non-stop on July 4th from 815 pm until 1249 am. Fun, right!?
Luke's reaction to his first viewing of "All About John Deere". No need to post momma's reaction to her 196th viewing; I'll trust you can guess.
Luke sensing he was about to be left behind with momma instead of going with daddy (and brothers). He got his boots and hat on and wouldn't leave Jereme's side. He was right...daddy and the little boys went to the car races, Luke and momma went grocery shopping...virtually the same thing...
Jorden: You aren't seriously taking a picture of how you fed us dinner on a Sunday night, are you?
Of course we are!!
We had such a FABULOUS vacay last summer with strep throat all around, we are gearing up to do it again! Leaving Monday morning for a full week! I hope someone breaks in while we are gone...take what you need but also be sure to pick up a few of the toys in the basement, too!

Random Wednesday Post
More pics from the 4th
Making daddy work!
Isaac's rather painful-looking sleep position
Getting along for a few minutes
Meltdown!!
Might go down in history as the most random blog post ever. But, if I don't write it, I'll never remember!!
*July 5th--both Isaac and Jorden prayed the sweetest prayer ever today and asked Jesus to come live in their hearts.
*Both boys are absolutely obsessed with how anyone and everyone died in our family. They want to know every detail possible about death...they repeatedly tell the stories and ask more questions. Be prepared to hear a few of the details!!
*Jorden and Jereme's convo a few days ago:
Jorden: Daddy, when we get to heaven Jesus fixes us and we aren't broken anymore?
Jereme: Yep!
Jorden: So, Poppa Rodger is fixed and not broken anymore?
Jereme: That's right buddy.
Jorden: Huh. WEIRD!
We laughed so hard!!
*Jereme went to check on little boys the other night before going to bed. They were both in Isaac's bed snuggled up together. The next morning we asked why they were sleeping in the same bed. Jorden told us he was scared of the fireworks so Isaac said he could come sleep with him. I *SO* wish I had a picture of that but it'll forever be a picture in my mind!!
