Two more "conversations" I never dreamed I'd be having...

*We do NOT drink water out of the toliet...at least I hope that's water.

*Do NOT pee on your brother. No, I know he peed on you but you may not pee on him. Hey, what did I just say?? Knock it off!! Stop peeing on him!

It hindsight, it just seems so wise that I spent countless hours on schoolwork and who knows how much $$$ getting a Master's degree.

Just in case you are wondering...

No, the three boys have not hog-tied me to a chair. Not yet, at least. Luke's still on my side for now...

We are surviving! Actually, everything has been great, just super busy, as you can imagine. I hope to start blogging again soon. I have WAY TOO many pics to post so I'll just choose a few!!

Is this a proud daddy of three boys or what???


Sweet Luke in his 2nd week of life!



First time riding side by side in daddy's truck! It was a love-hate situation!


Jorden: Listen, I tried to tell you, this "thing" is staying!
Isaac: WHAT?????????
Luke: Lord, help me...

One of these days...

One of these days, I'll get back in the routine of adding pics every few days instead of 500 at once. I am working on organizing all my pictures on my computer/online. Here are some "recent" (if you count the middle of July as recent) pics!

Checking out our new unders and tattoos! Thanks, Mimi Judy!!!




Big boys!



Jorden: What? We are going where? You gotta be kidding me!
Isaac: YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...a combine demo derby!!



Isaac looked like this the entire time.


Jorden, still in disbelief that we really are that big of rednecks.


Loving the sweet corn one of daddy's dealer's sent home!



Boys favorite new activity. Why do we have the only kids on the block, though, that actually lay in the water and drink it from the gutter???

Things I love, Part 2

Diversity:
Today marks the start of school. I love that people feel free to dress however they choose. What did I see this morning to prompt me to post? A super cute, red and black, knee-length skirt, white knee socks, white button-down blouse, tucked in, mind you with a stylish black blazer over the top. Of course, this was at the local public high school, not a parochial school. What makes this fall under the "diversity" category? A nice, young man, listening to his Ipod, carrying his backpack was wearing this outfit while walking to school. Made me smile and appreciate where we live...that is, SO LONG AS IT'S NOT MY BOYS WEARING THIS OUTFIT IN ABOUT 14 YEARS!!!

Attitude:
Driving home from the store today, I encountered a sweet, old woman driving her baby blue Taurus along side of me. Some person made the unfortunate choice to cut her off and was rewarded with getting honked at, tailgated and flipped off by dear old grandma along with some choice words that I can only imagine.

YES!!!

6 months since our last date and dang near a whole month since our anniversary, Jereme and I are going out ALONE, sans kids, tomorrow night. Pathetic that our last venture out without kids was Feb 21st . Did you read that? FEBRUARY 21st!!!! I almost didn't want to tell you b/c I am afraid to jinx it but I am just too excited!!!! Of course, you know there will be little dialogue, except for dinner, as we will be at the Half-Blood Prince FINALLY!

I'm sorry, God

I really don't set out in the mornings to desecrate holy places. Apparently, it just happens, at least in our family. But, what's a girl to do when she is 35/36 weeks pregnant, has just strapped both boys in their car seats and is clear on the other side of the building when one of those little boys urgently grabs himself and says, "mommy, potty!" Do I unstrap both and hoof it back to the building and into a restroom? Yes, probably most of you are nodding your head wondering as if there is another option. By the way, "that building" just happens to be our church.

So, being the improviser that I am, I get Isaac out of his seat and try to discreetly place him by the car to pee. ***Oh and yes, he knows how to pee standing up now, which he ironically learned to do at the drag races last weekend when he had no shoes, no shirt and no underwear on...just trying to set the stage for our family having slight leanings towards being rednecks.*** And, boy oh boy, did he need to go! It apparently was an emergency.

Does it make it any better that we were technically standing off the church property on the curb?

And, would it help if I also told you that he is an excellent shot at peeing standing up and also peed a little bit in the minivan? (That kind of made me giggle a little, though...you know how I love that car!)
