"Momma"

Kane slipped up today. See he's on a speaking boycott, well, other than words that are necessary like, "more", "no" and "yeah!". Although he's more likely to speak for people outside of the immediate family. So I was surprise when he was pointing to a picture of me and said, "Momma!" The best part, he said it a second time before realizing his mistake! I know he's almost two and I'm getting excited about him saying "momma" but I havent heard him say it since around his first birthday just before he started his boycott. I'm not really sure why he refuses to speak, I dont think he even knows why he refuses to speak but he is definitely stubborn about it!

Not Me

I've decided to try participating in Mckmama's Not Me Monday. This is a first for me! Here we go.


This weekend my family (all 6 of us) did not load into our van and drive around our city looking for hidden container via gps and an iphone app (aka Geocaching). I did not walk around a Walgreens parking lot looking for the container only to realize it was in a light post and I was going to have to pry at part of the light post in broad day light to get to it. After obtaining said container I did not then realize that I didnt have a pen to sign the log book inside! This was not embarassing at all because I did not do any of these things!


Last week I did not go to Kohls with my niece Joy to look for clothes. I did not discover that they now sell adult sized rompers and I did not think it was so funny that I had to try some on! I did not then let Joy take a picture of me in said romper, looking not at all ridiculous, and I certainly didnt text the picture to my husband. And of course I would never post the photo on my blog.

21 Months!

Our sweet boy is growing up!
So we decided to give him his first haircut last week.

In the back his hair gets all matted and icky. He's not a fan of standing still and letting me brush it.

Off it came. :(

But he's still adorable!

8 Weeks

On the one hand its like he's always been a part of our family on the other it seems like just yesterday he was born. Sometimes I wish he would stay this little forever, other times I cant wait for him to grow up so he can play with his big brothers. I'm just so thankful for this little boy!

Disaster Not Averted

I was putting Ford down for a nap.

I was in the livingroom with the older boys.

I was switching the laundry over to the dryer.

Therefore I dont feel so bad that I took a moment to take this photo before I rescued him!

We bought a new printer last week since our old one stopped working. While testing its capabilities Jed printed out this picture which he then put into a frame and put on a shelf. After a few days Seth finally noticed the new picture and said, "Ohhhhh, a new picture of me!" Jed was confused so he asked him what he was talking about. Seth said, "Look, you can see my floatie!"

Children's Church

Evan learned the story of Cain and Abel. When the teacher mentioned Cain, Evan said, "My brother?!" The teacher explained that it was a different boy. However he was further confused when at the end of the story baby Seth was born. When I picked him up he held up his lesson booklet, pointed to a picture of a cartoon baby and said, "Mom there's a picture of my brother Seth in my book today!" Since we dont have an Abel I wonder how long it'll take Evan to become suspicious of Kane... :)
