Mermaid??

Yesterday we went to walmart to do our grocery shopping. We had two carts. One for the kids and one for the groceries. When we were just about finished I remembered I needed to buy a new bra, so I took the kids with me and left Mike to finish getting groceries. I went to the bra section and picked one out and as I was holding it up examining it to make sure it was what I wanted, Jacob grabbed it from me and says "Mermaid!!" and proceeds to hold it up to my chest. (The Little Mermaid is one of his favorite shows.) I (laughing) quickly grabbed it from him before anyone noticed, and stuck it in the cart far enough away that he couldn't reach it, but then he started freaking out and yelling, "MERMAID, MERMAID!!!". I decided at that point that it would be best to leave the underwear section as quickly as possible and find something else to distract him with. He wasn't easily distracted, but at least out of the underwear section people didn't know what he was talking about. :)

Happy Birthday Mike!!

Welcome to your 30's Hun!! :) That's right. He turned the big 30 today.

Here he is as a baby. Wasn't he so cute?!?! I mean, he still is and all, but he was an adorable baby!

And here he is today, doing a manly pose for the camera.

This one was while he was too busy to pose for the camera. He was actually working on something for his cake...cause he's a perfectionist and I wasn't doing a good enough job. haaahahaha. Just kidding. He really is a perfectionist, but I actually asked him to take over this particular project. I will post a picture of the cake later.

Happy birthday Suga Lips. :) I love you!!!!

The Beginning of the End

Today is the first day of Mikes very LAST rotation. HALLELUJAH!! Since April is pretty much the last month we will be around (we will be out of town most of May) this really is the beginning of the end for us. So with that in mind, I bring you...The Final Countdown. (assuming you can get passed the painfully long intro and the bad 80's hair, etc.)

April Fools

With April fools day just around the corner I thought it would post a link I found for some good food pranks. Whether or not I will actually try anything on Mike is still undecided. If I get up the motivation and energy I would like to have a little fun with the kids though. :) I might just try out some of the food pranks listed in the link.

Puppy

Lizzie loves her stuffed animals. She especially loves her puppy. I love her little sing song voice. I have a video of Jacob somewhere saying puppy in the same sing song voice when he started talking. I was going to post it along side this one, but couldn't find it. Darn it all. Anyhoo...Here is Lizzie loving on her puppy.

Pictures and Commentary

"BUBBLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!" (Blowing bubbles while snapping a picture. How's that for multi-tasking. haha.)

At the beginning of winter, we bought hats and gloves for the kids so they could play outside when it snowed...then it never snowed. Well it did, but not much. So when it snowed this day, I went to get out them out and they were NO WHERE to be found. It was driving me crazy. I looked everywhere. In the end we had to improvise. He was wearing my mittens and my beanie in this picture. And all the stuff Lou Lou is borrowed. We did eventually find the ones I bought. They were in a suitcase for some reason. Hmmmm...weird.

"I know he's in there...I can HEAR him."

After a while he got bored with the slides and decided to do what little boys do best...play in the dirt and weeds. Fun.



"Look Mom a ROCK!"

"I will now make it disappear!" Yum!

Lizzie made some cute friends while we were there. Jacob didn't really like this little girl. She kept pushing him around, and he kept telling her, "No a push!!!"

Ahhhh...this is the life. Kickin' back, eatin' cheerios, cheese...and something green. Hmmm." (I think it was avocado.)

The tornado crashes. It's hard work creating a mess like this. Who wouldn't need a nap...mid mess?!

This is the boy's "smile for the camera" face. I love the squinty eyes. Lou Lou has recently started making the same face.

"Yummy ICE CREAM!!"

Grandpa Pants. These particular sweat pants are to long for him and he hates that he ends up walking on the cuffs. So he pulls them up like this.

The boy has discovered the wonders of the refrigerator. He is constantly bringing me something he found in there. This time he found the little lime shaped lime juice container saying, "a juice, a juice". I warned him that it was not the kind of juice that he would like drinking but he insisted. Sooooo...I gave him a squirt in the mouth. This was the face he made. AWESOME!!

Lou Lou wanted in on the good stuff too. Here is her pucker. Oh the mean things we do to our kids.

The boy LOVES vacuums. Here he is with the big "bacuum" and the "you bacuum". (I'm not sure if 'you' means little or your. Cause whenever I get out the vacuum he wants to take over, so I always ask him, "where's your little vacuum". I'm still working on translations.)

Phew, that was a couple months worth of pictures. There were lots of others that I wanted to post as well. Then I remembered, most people don't get as excited about pictures of my kiddos as I do. :)

Former CEO now delivering pizzas???

How does that even happen? How do you go from making $750k a year, to delivering pizza and being hundreds of thousands in debt? I just don't get it.
