My CUTE Boys

The boys are getting so big, I love it but hate it at the same time. We went to Las Vegas with Richards 2 brothers and sister in law the end of May. I took these pictures the night we took them up to Richard's Dad's house. I love how all three boys have different eye colors. Avery has deep dark brown eyes, Toby has the same color eyes as me, a hazel green and Evan got his big blue eyes from Richards Dad...I love them all!

Flat Tires & Making Them Hole Again!

I was on my way to get the car's oil changed and it started to make a funny noise (a noise at first since my music was turned up) when I realized it wasn't a noise but a flat tire instead. I Pulled into a parking lot and quickly realized it was FLAT...(see first picture) I called Richard and he and Taylor were close by and they came to my rescue. The bad part was we didn't have a jack for the Jetta but he had a jack for his Van. The problem was we couldn't get the jack to go low enough for us to get it under the Jetta's frame...no problem! Taylor thought of the idea to put the jack in a pot hole and then it should work...and guess what...it did! I couldn't believe it but it worked. I was laughing the whole time. After that I went and got the other front tire replaced long with the spare tire in the back....175 dollars later we were good to go! Stupid tires! Oh well I would rather have it happen here than on our drive to Vegas!

We Want To Know Wednesday

{1}Everyone seems to have a quirky family situation-- what is something unique about your family dynamic?

The first thing that pops into my head is how many family members we have....yikes! Richard and I both come from divorced family's. Between the two of us (not counting wives or husbands) We have 21 siblings? Yeah it's crazy. We have a ton of nieces and nephews (some of which I still have not met) It's hard keeping up with everyone espically when some of them act stuck up around you or better yet nice to your face and not so nice when your not there.....yay for families!!!

{2}What is the most stressful aspect to blogging (aside from the network going down)?
Lately my button's don't want to work. I click on them and nothing happens! Then I click on the compatibility view button and some will start to work again or some will stop working...like seriously?

{3}We all end up on a blog at some point in our day, but name your top 3 favorite websites you flock to daily (non blog)!

1. Facebook
2. www.KSL.com
3. Old Navy (I love to watch for sales!)

{4}What’s your sign? Believe in it or not, does any part ring true to you?
I am a cancer (yes my birthday is the end of this month!) I don't hold my breath to it but it's fun to read from time to time!

{5}IceCream!! ICECREAM!! We all scream for icecream! Name your favorite flavor/brand!

Gone...Gone...Gone....Back Back BACK!

There are several reasons I could tell you why I haven't been blogging but some of which I don't care to share at this moment or perhaps ever.

One of them has been I have been super busy! Taking care of my kids and kids that are not mine. I have been organizing and cleaning. I have been trying to take on the role of stay at home wife/mother and it's so much harder that I ever realized. I miss my co workers. I miss the social life. I miss being an adult. I do not miss the drama. I do not miss having to answer to someone besides myself or my husband. I do not miss the cranky customers.

Since I have been home Toby is offically potty trained. It's awesome! I love not having to change his pull ups! He's so proud of it. He has learned that he can go potty in other places besides the toilet, like today I caught him going pee on my front pattio. Ya...that was awesome. Toby is going to start Pre School in the fall. He will go 2 days a week. Kinda makes me sad...he's growing up to quickly!

Avery has lost 2 teeth. His teeth are not being nice when it comes to falling out. We have to pull them out....poor kiddo......School is finally done for him for the summer. He is so happy school is done. He starts the 2nd grade in the fall so crazy how time flies!

Evan is still not walking but he crawls like a champ! He will walk when he is next to the couch or the bed and sometimes if you hold his hand. Lately he has been fighting going to bed at night, he screams like he is being hurt! I hurry in to check on him only for him to look at me and smile the moment I pick him up......the turd.......

I am back.......feels good to be back! I will post random postings about the past month when I think about it and or feel like it!
