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 …

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…

Re: Print Rich Environment

Humor, Kevin, Michael

So lastnight Kevin came in, he hadn't read the blog, and we hadn't talked to him about it. I was busy putting away groceries and taking care of the baby, so I didn't think twice about it. All of a sudden Kevin starts spouting all of these random weird words... I'm like "What? Are you OK?" I guess the words took him by surprise. Hahahaha! Michael was quick to comment "They're so my brain doesn't melt!"

A Print Rich Enviornment

Aiden, Family Fun, Humor, Michael

I'm working on a new project, I'm writing in large print on some cards I have and taping them around the house, to get Aiden interested in words and keep Michael reading. I think I'll change them up to keep their brains noticing. So far I have "Baby," "Joseph," "Door," "Food," "Chair," "TV," "Aiden," "Michael," "Potty," "Sink," "Food," "Water," "Cups," "Plates," "Phone," "Shoes," "Snack," "Trash," "Wash," "Bath," "Bed," "Toys," "Mom," and "Dad." What else? I need more 3 and 4 letter household items. I walked around with the boys this morning having Michael try to read stuff then letting them take turns taping them up. I was amazed how many Michael had already forgotten... When Michael asked me why I was doing this, I said "So your brain doesn't melt…

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,…

Mom! Peepee head!

Aiden, Humor, Me, Michael

OK, so I was doing the meanest thing ever, I was checking the TV to see if there was a fun movie on for the kids on the movie channels, and Aiden yelled at me, "Mom! Peepee Head!" I was like, "WHAT?!?!?!" and Michael said, "he wants PBS." I'm so glad for sibling translators. Otherwise Aiden might have had a spank or time out for asking for PBS.
