OLDIES BUT GOODIES

WE MISS HAVING OUR FRIENDS!!!

We were able to hang out with some old friends this past weekend, thanks Brit for throwing the partaaay!!! We all had a lot of fun, well except for Matt when the guys would not stop talking about Chiropractic stuff he hid and played the Wii by himself, really guys get a new topic. Sorry Matt thats all they know. Girls we all love eachother and I miss having you guys near me. The greatest thing about this weekend is the kids played so good together, hardly any crying, hardly any fights and a little streaking going on.

Can you believe it I didn't I thought we were going to have to break up some big fights but they did so good. Thanks to the Dora vanity the girls were occupied,

well to be honest so were some of the boys.

Thanks everyone we had a lot of fun. Here are some more great pic from the weekend!!!

MY KIDS ARE SOOO OLD...DOES THAT MAKE ME OLD???

well we have had a few birthdays this past few weeks. Robert turned 27, Ella turned 3 and the biggest one Clayton turned 5. I can't believe he is so old. It still feels like yesterday that I had him. We were living in Utah and he was the worst baby, or maybe I was the worst mom being the first time I had a baby. anyway. All my kids are growing up so fast, I can't believe it!!!

THE ZOO CAN BE EDUCATIONAL

WE LOVE THE ZOO!!

The first nice day in fresno we decided to go to the zoo. We love the zoo I always get the yearly zoo pass because we go year round. Some days we go for hours some days we run through as fast as we can. The animals are always fun to see, especially since our tigers are in a cage not a wall. So we are looking at some elephants, birds reptile house you know typical zoo day. Then I hear Clayton yell out from a few feet away "Why is that turtle climbing on the other one?" So I immediately try to think, do I use this as an educational opportunity or just say something clever like they are playing leap frog and move on. So I kind of shuffled them along and we kept looking at animals and it never came back up but I just couldn't let it go so i snapped a pic and would like to know your thoughts, If you saw this what would you say to your child????????

CADES BATH TIME

OH YEAH I AM NOT MOTHER OF THE YEAR

I don't know about most of you with multiple children but for some reason my baby doesn't always get baths as much as my other kids. I know I know this sounds gross but he is usually asleep when my other kids take a bath or if he is awake i am afraid they are to crazy for my baby to go in there with them. I needed a solution, so i thought other moms put there babies in the sink to give baths so I tried it. It was easier to fill up, i didn't have to bend down and i didn't have to worry about my other kids being to rough. The bath went really well he was splashing, kicking and playing with the dirty dishes.... YEAH dirty dishes I forgot to do my dishes before I put him in. So he got clean and had some toys to play with!!!
