{Humbling Experience}

So we've just finished thursday family game night. Tonight we played Disney's version of Sorry. Now maybe it's because it's a fun game or maybe it's because I always win at it but either way it's one of my favorites! So tonight it was neck and neck as all three of us had three guys in our home space and took turns pushing each others last pawn back as far away from winning as we could. I was the closest to my home whenI kid you not Tyler drew a 10 card. For those of you that don't know the rules you have to land into your home space by exact count, a pawn could be 2 spaces away forever if you don't draw a two card. Well as you can probably guess....Tyler was 10 spaces from his home! What are the odds? Seriously! Tyler VERY RARELY wins at board games and I VERY RARELY loose at sorry but low and behold tonight was his lucky night! He had a good laugh and well I was in a cheery mood so I laughed as well of course it followed by "don't get used to it" with a challenging smirk and then "ok let's go for seconds". Then Wyatt drew the next card with his last blue pawn half way to his home and I kid you not again if the little booger didn't draw the BLUE 12!!! In the Disney version the cards have numbers and colors. If you pick one with your color there are "special" instructions on it....the 12 cards all say "If your the (whatever color) card move your lead pawn directly to home or move 12." Yes not only did I not win at a game I ALWAYS win but I completely lost....even trying for second place!!!

I DECLARE A REMATCH!!!!!!!!!! =)

{eat your veggies!}

Something most mom's and dad's say to their children right? Well since our son has no problem eating his veggies dad decided to boss around Buddy instead....Little did he know that Buddy eats his veggies too!

So I got home from taking Wyatt to school one morning (5/1) and found Buddy at the back yard side of the driveway gate jumping around in his playful way. Now he does some strange things but for the life of me I could not figure out what on earth he was trying to pounce (yes pounce, my dog thinks he's a cat some days). Then as I got out of the car and started to walk up to the gate this is what I found.....


A turtle!!! How odd is that?!! The stray turtle was a water turtle and is now happily swimming in a near by lake thanks to the neighbor who was on his way out fishing!

{catch up}

Alright everyone bare with me while I play catch up on the next few blogs. Eventually I will get the hang of keeping up to date with this blogging thing!

{Ewwww!!}

So as most of my friends and family already know I do like the city of Grand Terrace and it's close community. And as some of you also know the draw back to living here in a home (especially one with a huge yard like ours) is a tiny or rather large (about 3 plus inches) visitor. Field roaches! Eww!! I know. The good thing is they live outside and don't start heading for cooler temperatures until the summer time...unfortunately those cooler temperatures are in my kitchen, bathroom and anywhere else they can get.

Well Apparently I am just so "Cool" because last night about 10pm when I flicked my knee because it tickled (not exactly the right word...) one of our little visitors fell down out of my pajama pant leg!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say I jumped on top of the dinning table, stripped down and proceeded to throw the worlds biggest adult tantrum complete with blaming my husband for the cities bug problem!!! After he was able to calm me down by squeezing me tightly to avoid the swinging arms due to his simple words "calm down" (NOTE TO MEN: DO NOT TELL YOUR WIFE TO "CALM DOWN" AFTER A BIG ROACH JUST FELL OUT OF HER PANTS!!!!!) he brought me some clean clothes sprayed the entire house with bug spray then knelt down and asked heavenly father to keep everything "unwanted" out of our home and our (my) creeped out minds. Then after threatening to go live with my mother in law (because mom has a cricket problem) I made him strip down the bed and check it before I climbed in and somehow I actually managed to fall asleep!!!

It was an eventful night! It still creeps me out but I thought the rest of you could use a good laugh this morning!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

So my dog buddy just did the cutest thing! If I hadn't had my hands full of pins and fabric I would have grabbed my camera and gotten a picture but it was over so fast I didn't get it.

I was sitting on the living room floor pinning some fabric pieces and a baby on the TV started crying. Not that fake TV kind of cry, it sounded real.....Buddy (our big dog) came hurrying out from the other room and stared at the TV. He did his little head twist thing a time or two trying to figure out why there wasn't a real baby then he sat down and stared at it until the crying stopped. It was so cute! I've seen him with 3 month and older children and he's very playful yet gentle with them but to see him so concerned about a crying baby was the most heart warming thing I've seen all week! He's already so gentle with my tummy (he won't even give me hugs anymore and I'm the one that taught him that trick)....he will be such a great protector for James! I can't wait until he is here and the whole family, mom, dad, Wyatt and Buddy can enjoy his company!!
