Happy Mother's Day!

Special thanks to our three amazing moms. We seriously couldn't do it without you. Thank you and I hope you have a happy happy mother's day. XOXOXOXOX

Now down to business. Aunt Liesel, consider yourself warned. Look away from the computer now. This one is going to hurt your eyes a little bit.




She looked, didn't she?


My mom and I LAUGHED at this outfit. We called him little Guido.


If he is Guido than this is his big brother Bubba. Bubba will bounce your a$$ right out of here if you aren't lucky.


Who, BY THE WAY, gives a three year old a sword for his birthday? UNCLE BEAN! While it is much nicer than the cardboard setup we had made for him months ago and yes they are still in action. The new one is SOOO COOL though and as expected he gets into a lot of trouble with it. Mostly he wants to cut the sharp bones out of his mom with it. Just the sharp bones momma. ?Its okay momma." He says to me so sweetly. . .


Jr. is in a whole new phase of childhood. We have officially entered the "WHY" phase. Oh lord help me. . . And why can't I just ignore him? Why? Well, I will tell you, most of the WHYs come when I tell him to do something. Jr. put that down please! Why? WHY! Because you are spilling all over the floor! Things like that. I wish it was more like WHY is the sky blue? WHY do fish live under water? Oh no. It is just a phase like the others. Sassy boy phase.


(He told his dad that he was wearing those green pants with his orange shirt earlier in the day - and his dad BELIEVED him. Peas in a pod.)

So my favorite thing he says right now, and I am surpised at how much it comes up is LOM(B)ONSTER. Combo Lobster and Monster. That and he is still super curious about Kevin - you know where you go when you die. Kevin. Oh and Ballcano. He found the raft pump the other day and wanted to make his own Ballcano. I got into trouble from my mom today for repeating "Danging DVD" after he said it - but it was so funny!


Half stand-up commedian. Half drunk midget (yes I ripped off Tina Fey, but she is so funny and so right).

Graham is so busy. He can really get around without crawling and he is in everything. He loves to open and close doors and LOVES cords and electrical outlets. When I pick him up he gives me a huge tight little hug and I still get TONS of slobbery wet sweet kisses. Oh and boy howdy can that little bugger eat. No more baby food for him either, he wants cut up adult food. He sees his brother get a bannana, damn he better be getting one too. He still isn't napping at dayccare and the whole zombie baby thing still gets to me, but he is sleeping well at home for naps and at night. I just don't know what to do.


For mothers day, I am going to go to a movie all by myself with some wine. Cissie is going to babysit. Ed is gone for the weekend rafting. Yup. I am so looking forward to some dark alone time with a big tub of buttered popcorn and smuggled wine. It is not like I don't want to spend mothers day with my munchkins, but I just need a couple of hours, besides, Ed was gone most of last week, plus this weekend, I have had TONS of quality time with the boys. Now I need some quality time for me. Or to quote from Tina's awesome book again - how to carve out some "me" time. Volunteer to unload the dishwasher. Offer to go get diaper ointment and stand in your childs room quietly until your spouse comes to find you and curtly asks you what you are doing. Oh there was more, but those were my favorites.

As you can see. I am a pretty lucky mom.
