Family Fun Time

We had some very special guests visit us all the way from beautiful Nashville Tennessee - my cousin Tyson and his bride of one year Jonie. She is such a sweetie and is so good with babies. My parents, along with Jason and the fam all came over for dessert (and a few drinks, hee hee), so she and Tyson got their fill -and then some- of the kids. But Jonie, man, she charmed each of them on their own level, she even had Ez cozied up to her at one point! I like her, Tyson did a good job finding this gal. My only complaint is they live too far away.
Even Tyson is baby friendly, who knew?

Carrie and Addison looking oh so cute! They had some quality cozy time as well.
I am so thankful for...
~ MOPS today. We got all dressed up and had a tea party at each of our tables, it was lovely.
~ seeing my family last night. Why can't we all just live within minutes of each other and be able to see each other whenever we want? Oh, because that would be creepy and a little on the compound-esque side of life. We'll just be happy with the way things are.
~ Pam's blogs. She writes just the way she talks and it makes me feel like we're having a conversation when I read her blog.
~ all the funny things Ben says, more like the way he pronounces things. Like blue berries, for example, in Ben dialect is pronounced "boobies". Funny story; Mark was at Costco standing in line to check out and had Ben with him. Ben looked into the cart of the woman standing behind them and said "whoa, big boobies". Mark had a good time explaining that to the woman. (For a real chuckle ask Ben to say 'big black berries') we're so bad, I know.

The teacher I'm observing has a son who calls them "boobies", too. After the teacher said, "My son loves 'boobies' " this 14-year-old boy in the class yelled out, "Me, too!"

Funny kids! It makes me recall the time when we were standing in line and Jesse slapped the woman's bum in front of us and said Bum-Bum!

were all bad. I used to have a time with Natalie saying the word 'fork' . While she was learning to talk it sound OH SO different. It was very imbaracing, so that I used to keep three or four for her after she droped one once and yelled it out...didn't quite sound like fork!.

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)
