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!!!!

Six Months Old!

Baby Joey
I cannot beleive it's gone SO FAST!  I'm excited and sad at the same time.  He's seriously the best baby ever, he doesn't cry incessantly, he sleeps well, he spits up, but not too much, he's happy to hang out and watch the action, he's happy to get the attention of his brothers and rarely gets overwhelmed by it.  He's just so sweet!  He's always smiling and giggling. He's just started to do the crawel rock!  I don't know to be incredibly depressed or thrilled.  He scooted across the tent a few times, so he deffinitly can get around now.  He slept through the night lastnight in his play pen! Behind the mesh in his play pen~ I guess his will be the first camping pictures shown...   Happy Half…

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…

Seeing ORANGE!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Solids
So...  Joey had his first carrots Tuesday, the night before last, and it was also the first time he's eaten a whole jar in one sitting.  So yeah...  Anyone's who's ever started a baby on solids will know what I mean, everyone else, enjoy your oblivion.  LOL! He's doing really well and loves it when I put him in his high chair.  This morning the big boys and I had waffles, and I fed Joey bananas.  I set down his spoon on the front edge of the tray and helped Aiden cut up his waffle.  I turned back and the spoon was gone!  I was sure it was out of his reach.  I peeked down in the chair and there it was on his leg and Joey was giving me…

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  …

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,…

He’s growing up.

Baby Joey, Pictures, Solids
My Baby is growing up! Joey hit a new milestone. He's eating solids! Well, just banana baby food, and occasionally rice cereal, but something other than my milk is something fun and new! I'll let the pictures tell what he thought... Kevin found a fun little high chair. I was going to go with a booster seat type high chair becuase I could strap it to a chair and then be done with it when it's time, but Kevin found a folding one for like $35, so yeah! He gets his own special seat, and I can fold it up and tuck it in the closet when he's not eating. Michael and I have started some new banter. We keep going back and fourth about who loves Joey more. It's…

This would be the best Birthday present Ever

Baby Joey
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080603/ap_on_el_pr/clinton We'll see if it actually happens. EDIT~  Hahaha, I guess they changed the article from the link, it was originally Clinton dropping out...  guess you can't always get exactly what you want...  LOL!  At this moment she's trying for VP <rollseyes>  I can't decide if I just want elections to be over, or if I dread the outcome...
