Aiden, Family Fun, Humor, Memories, Pictures

So, as I browsed the family blog this morning (my Rawlings family and I have a private family blog), I was talking with Aiden about who the people were in the pictures. He likes pictures. When we were at IKEA last Saturday Aiden saw a tall dark man with dreads and glasses. He pointed and yelled "Guy!" Why I knew he meant our friend Isani, I don't know, but I knew, LOL! Sure enough, when he saw the pic with Isani in it on the blog (one of the ones I posted here) he yelled "Guy!" LOL! I guess I was right! Then we scrolled down to the post my Mom had done about some stuff my family had done with Kevin's family, and posted some pictures. He was too…

Doctor Doctor!

Family Fun, Life in Texas, Memories, Michael

Michael went to the doctor today for his six year check-up. It's true, he's growing like mad. LOL! He's over 4 feet tall, and more than 6o pounds. That's 90 and 95+ Percentile. He also needs glasses. :( But he seems excited about it. He was very relived to find he doesn't need shots, and then sad when he realized that meant we weren't going to go get ice cream. I'd promised ice cream to help him feel better IF he got shots. He's all excited to go pick out a pair of glasses that "look like chocolate on vanilla ice cream." I don't know what that means... I do know he wants brown glasses though, fine with me. :) Afterwords we went to an organic foods grocery store which…

Memory Tag

Humor, Me, Memories

If you blog much you probably know the drill, but in case you don't, please comment to me a memory you have of me or with me, then, if you'd like post a memory submission on your blog and I'll come and comment on a memory with you. THANKS! Edited 7-27-08, I'm bumping this back to the top since it got buried below others posts so fast.

Another IKEA Saturday.

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Humor, Kevin, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Pictures, Venting

Daddy Smiling as we're finally out on our way. Mom was super slow getting ready to go, and so we left about 3 hours later than he would have liked. We went to a fun little BBQ place and enjoyed a quiet lunch. We got to IKEA and dropped Michael off at Smalland, and headed on our way enjoying the whole showroom floor at a snails pace. A pretty dish set with lots of colorful creamy Bokeh. A head board I like a lot, thought I think Kevin has had his share of iron beds and our next one will be wooden, or if it's the right fabric, upholstered. We timed it just right to be done with the top floor just as it was time to pick up Michael. …

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…

It’s always fun When Grandpa Comes,

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Memories, Michael, Pictures

When Grandpa comes, hooray! Grandpa spent lots of time with the boys and read them several books. I think they really enjoyed having him here. Hahaha, looking back over these photo's, I think either I've just resigned to the chaos, or my memory tricks me into thinking things were more calm than they were... Grandpa reading to Mike and Joe. Hi Mommy!!! The closest I got to a group picture of all the boys and their grandpa together. Well, one of the closest... At least Joey was listening. Well, and Aiden, but only on his terms. And Michael decided to read on his own. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the new books!!!!

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…

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 …

The Chocolate Bar

Church, Me, Memories

Lastnight for Girls Night Out I wet to a fun little place called The Chocolate Bar. On one side it was a gourmet chocolate shop, and on the other it serves ice cream and various slices of cake or pie and has a sit down area. It was so fun to have a girls night with a bunch of friends and get to know several women I didn't know well before. I'll definitely be going back. Yum! I just need to figure out who to go with since Kevin's not a chocolate fan, and I'm not going to even consider what would happen if I took any of my boys. Yikes!

iPod, and me singing.

Dreams, Family Fun, Me, Memories

I got an iPod. For a reason I may cover later, I got my birthday present very late this year. I picked up a Green 1 Gig iPod Shuffle. I've been enjoying Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance (I played Ruth in High School) The Holiday soundtrack, listening th church magazines (did you know you can get MP3's on lds.org of all sorts of stuff, magazines through scriptures? I have a link at the right) and all sorts of other fun stuff. Michael said earlier "Mom, you got a really good voice." which totally surprised me. I feel like I've totally lost my voice, my pitch is terrible, the quality leaves a LOT to be desired in many ways. Many who've met me in the last 7 years or so…
