Picture Time!

Taking pics of the kids is always a fun adventure.

Today's funny comes from the JCPenney portrait studio.

Daniel told the photographer "I have my sister, my MawMaw, and my Gena".

Not only am I last, I am now an equal.

Poops and Giggles

As a mother, I've found myself doing things I would have never thought I would do.  I'm regularly getting a boogie out of a nose, digging in an ear, smelling the booty area for a dirty diaper, etc.  The last one comes in handy sometimes.  The other morning I went to Daniel's bedroom at 7 am because I heard him on the monitor talking and singing to his mobile.  He is usually such a sweet baby in the morning and it's one of my favorite times with him.  We were playing with his toys and I decided to change his wet diaper while I had him distracted.  New diaper? Check.  Wipe? Check.  Cooperating son? Check.  This was going to be easy.  I decided to make a game of it with him.  I pulled off one diaper tab - he laughed.  I pulled off the second diaper tab - he laughed even harder.  With one swift move, I quickly pulled the diaper off of him completely.  It turns out that Daniel had a surprise that he obviously knew about wh...

The little boy that is my life....

It's hard to believe that I just scheduled Daniel's 6 month photo session for Saturday.  That's right...he's now 6 months old, almost 7 months, actually.  At his latest checkup, he was 29 inches tall and weighed in at 24 pounds. I'm preparing for a future football player and dreading my grocery bill when he's 15.  Daniel is definitely a character.  Before I was a mom, I didn't realize how much I could love one human being and how much one little person could change my life (I also didn't realize I could survive on such little sleep).  He loves to wave at everyone, but only on his own terms. He's a terror to all of the animals when he's in his walker.  He's serious sometimes, and silly sometimes.  He watches TV and gets "TV face" just like his daddy, and riding on the 4 wheeler gets him so excited. An avid fan of food, he will grunt until you give him his next bite of sweet potatoes, peas, or whatever he is having for that ...

Mowing Musings

Image
  There's something therapeutic about mowing the lawn. I remember asking my dad why in the world he would spend so much time mowing. I couldn't imagine a more boring and tedious job. The constant back and forth over grass that would inevitably grow back and require a new cut in a few weeks. The attention to detail...making sure to miss plants and other yard decor, the SUN (I hate being hot)...so many negatives. My dad's response to my question was "It gives me time to think."   Time to think? I think all day long! Now that I'm 41, I get it.  I have four kids. I have a full-time job.  I have a husband. I have a lot of responsibilities.   I really don't have a lot of time to think.  I always feel so close to my dad when I mow. After losing him two years ago, I try to busy myself so that I don't think about losing him. I know that sounds terrible. If I think too much about how much I miss him, I would never get anything accomplished. I have a tendenc...
