Belated

July 28th, 2010

So when a birthday feels just like any other day; you have to wonder, ‘When did I grow up?’

When did crayons, mud, bugs, and trucks become replaced by paper work, a sponge, and laundry?

That’s when you put your six year old britches back on (figuratively of course) and play…

To the man that keeps me young and keeps the kid alive in all of us…

Happy Birthday to my number one kid!

High Flyin’ and havin Fun

55. Go hot air balooning

Yep, crossed one off the Bucket List. Seems, however, that with each one crossed off, two more get added in its place. Guess we just have to work harder!

One crazy lookin’ crew! Thank you to the fam in Midland for setting up the amazing flight!

All Boy… it’s what I got

July 13th, 2010

I’ve always talked about being a boy, or wanting a brother instead of a sister, or wanting my child to be a boy…. an now…. yep, it’s what I got.

Having MAWJ by herself for 3.79999 years was heaven; what’s the big deal with boys anyhow? I love my little girl. Women always say, “Oh, they’ll steal your heart” or “There’s nothing like a little prince.” Well, as I look down at the massive bowl filled with stained clothes and Oxy Clean, or the mess of popped balloons, or even the chocolate smudge fingerprints ALL OVER my computer screen, I realize that I’m not too sure those comments apply to me just yet. This may have to do with the fact that even though MAWJ is aesthetically a prima donna, she is in fact very much boy-like. As a matter of fact she’s not too many degrees off of where my sisters and I were at her age. We’ve might have had a few more snakes, horny toads, and mud pies than she has… but all in all… I’ve decided I’ve got two boys. One just wears dresses occasionally.

It’s here…. a few days late

Something that I’ve been itching to do with the kiddos for awhile now….

Had NO clue that you couldn’t just buy helium anywhere and when you buy it; it comes in big sizes!!! Therefore, more balloon pics to follow.

Can I hear it in a sentence please?
