Finally, Lake Texana Pictures

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Humor, Kevin, Me, Memories, Michael, Pictures, Vacation
I've finally gone through them and got them ready!  Yay!  I had them ready since Thursday (so if you've seen these on facebook, sorry for the repeat), but was waiting on Kevin to have some free time he was willing to donate to my cause since I keep forgetting how to publish photo's by myself, maybe I should have Kevin write me a tutorial, LOL! There are three separate sets, the ones I took, the ones Kevin took, and the ones Michael took.  Here's our Lake Texana Trip.  (for some reason Firefox is being a beast, so if the last link doesn't work, please try the individual links) Oh, and I also got up the photo's from Joey's blessing back in March.  I've had them up for a while but…

20 years in the making…

Dreams, Games, Humor, Me
I have been tagged by my friend Rae. So this is my list. I would like to tag anyone who's interested, since I know some people don't like to be tagged. 20 years ago: * I was 6 and heading for the 1st grade, Mrs. Ball's class. She was pretty neat! * Was diagnosed with ADHD, a categorization that still bothers me. * Had lived in North Logan, Utah for about a year and was enjoying doting on my almost one year old baby brother Nathan. 10 years ago: * We moved from the Home in North Logan that I'd grown up in and moved to American Fork, Utah. * I had my first love and subsequent heart break. * I missed meeting my husband by less than a week…

I Was Nuzzled by a Deer

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Humor, Kevin, Me, Memories, Michael, Pictures, Vacation
We're back from our first real camping trip with children.  It was REALLY fun!  We're so glad we went, and look forwards to many more mini trips.  The boys did amazingly well. Yes, that's right, we went camping on purpose, in the middle of July, in the South...   ...and survived.  It actually felt wonderful. We went to Lake Texana in Edna, Texas. Friday night we headed down and got there just at sunset, we rushed to set up camp in the setting sun and I took the boys around the camp site in an attempt to set up firm boundaries.  Kevin had to make a store run because between us we'd somehow forgotten to get cash to pay for our spot.  Kevin took Aiden, and Michael, Joey and I stayed…

Joys of the Internet

Church, Family Fun, Me
OK, I don't think of my self as all that trendy or cutting edge.  I'm a geeks wife, but I'm not pushing any boundaries, I'm just taking this information or technology highway at my own pace.  After all I didn't start my own real blog until just this last December.  By then most bloggers I knew had been doing it for quite some time... I had a myspace a few years ago when it was the big new thing, but then deleted it when there was a lot of hubbub about it being against my church but it just turned out to be specific counsel given by area authorities, mostly towards younger kids that may have gotten in too deep.  Plus there was a bit of yucky advertising.  I signed…

Moody Gardens

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Humor, Kevin, Kevin and I, Me, Memories, Michael, Pictures
As I previously mentioned, last Saturday we went to Moody Gardens in Galveston Texas. On the way back to the car I ran a race with Michael... He was telling Aiden, who was sitting in the front of the double stroller, that he was gonna beat him, I couldn't have any of that, so off I flew, hahaha! So I manged to get my fully loaded double stroller (and I don't mean super nice, just loaded down with peeps and stuff), myself and my saggy pants to the end of the grass (about 50 yards) before Michael, LOL! Yay me! We had a good time despite my mood.  Yay for summer vacation! Petroglyph from the "Cave of the Killer Wale" in California.           Fast Penguins  …

Could I Be A J. Lo Girl?

Me, Pictures
I've got to catch up now!  LOL! So, there's this little discount perfume shop, Perfumania, at a little factory outlet mall on the way to Galveston, and it had these great deep discounts on perfume.  I mean I could go in there and spend $30 and come out with five unique nice scents, some designer, some just simple, perhaps a gift or two, something for Kevin, or some teeny ones for my grab and go bag (even though I don't travel very much).  Any special occasion is more special to me with a new scent... As most don't know, I'm a perfume addict.  I have an array of unique scents.  I don't always wear them, but I like to have some yummy choices to match my moods.  I have everything…

More Regarding Melting Minds

Humor, Me, Michael
So, this afternoon we went out and I got Michael and Aiden an ice cream sandwich, Michael gulped his half down (seriously gulped, I don't know how he could have even tasted it), and drank some ice water.  He said "My brain won't melt now cause I have brain freeze!" I think this "melting brain" thing has sunk in too deep... And then when we got home and I asked him to get Kevin the scissors to open something up.  He went looking and came back empty handed saying "Oh!  My brains is just melted!  I don't remember where the silver drawer is!"  I said, "No, the silverWARE drawer, like forks and spoons and stuff, next to the sink."  I could just see the light turn on as he turned…

You’re Welcome!

Aiden, Family Fun, Humor, Me, Michael
We obviously have some wires crossed... A few minutes ago Aiden asked ever so nicely for some candy.  The boys have been behaving rather well today, so I went for my secret stash and got some Smarties. I gave each boy a roll of Smarties, and got one out for myself while I played around on the computer. About halfway through mine I started hearing this weird beeping, so I got up to troubleshoot, a minute later I noticed that one of the boys had put something on Kevin's keyboard and it was making that "error" noise, that was it. I then look to my left to watch Aiden somehow scatter my smarties about.  Snickering inside, trying to look sad, I said, "But those were my smarties!  I wanted those!" …

Zoo etc.

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Humor, Me, Michael, Pictures
We went to the zoo on Friday to kill some time while Kevin was at work.  It was hot, but hey, it's late June in the South, LOL! It was a VERY stressful morning, including but not limited to- just plain getting up on the wrong side of the bed, having gotten a special treat to pack for lunch to the Zoo and Aiden having a melt down over wanting it right then, the remote going MIA, some very hyper active big boys (I was so desperate to find the remote to glue them to the TV for a few minutes and get them settled down, hey if it works...) a mini flood, a VERY sad baby (no doubt fully due to his mothers anxiety level), a giant blow out,…
