{Do it anyway}

Things I would like to say "Screw It" to and just do it anyway!
(i found this idea on a blog I was reading...how fun!)

MOVE TO MONTANA

Oh to get out of the smog and heat of Southern California! And not just to a cooler place but a beautiful place! Oh to look out my kitchen window and see green rolling hills and mountains with evergreen trees! Oh to teach my children how to bake a pie on a snow day and shoot a riffle on the first day of hunting season! And OH how I would love to just drive out every December in the snow and cut down any old Christmas tree I want!! Oh to live a simpler, slower life!

BUY A CABIN IN MAMMOTH

Now this one well a bit less realistic considering I know very few people who can afford the million dollar cabins in Mammoth but still this is a "if I could i would" blog post! =)

RUN A RED LIGHT

I can't count the times I've been running late but if it hadn't been for that one red light I would have made it to my destination right on time! Stupid red lights!!!

PUT IN A POOL

We just have a rental home right now and honestly I think the landlord would let us put up an above ground pool but to have our very own built in pool would be fantastic!! He'd probably let us even put that in but it's just a rental....who pays for a built in pool when they don't own the property?


I'm sure I could right a longer list of things I'd like to say screw it to and do anyway but my growling tummy has now gotten the best of my brain so I had better feed before I start writing gibberish!

FRUIT LOOPS HERE I COME!!!!

{about you}

I started this blog to keep family and friends updated on our little family but I think one of the key parts to relationships is to make an effort to get to know those who want to know you. So I found these conversation cards that I am going to post every so often in hopes of learning more about all of you! Just leave a comment with your answer or thoughts asked by the card. Since this is the first one I figured I'd make it a fun one!!

{dads and boys}

Tyler just took another big dad step with Wyatt.....he got to pull out his first tooth! He passed up the tricking a kid into it step and said "ok I'm gonna pull it out now...." and with one big yank Wyatt is less one tooth! Don't you just love dads?!!


For some reason Wyatt's baby teeth just haven't been wanting to come out...it's been at least 4 or 5 years since he lost a tooth....thus the worlds greatest "dad just pulled out my tooth" face!!! Notice Tyler "well it's out now" face....what a pair!!

I LOVE MY BOYS!!!!!

{Puuuuweee}

This is Buddy getting a bath at 11 o'clock at night Monday. This is also Tyler trying so hard to stay mad while I'm laughing so hard I just about peed!! And lastly this is Buddy trying to figure out why that cute little black and white critter in the front yard didn't want to play with him!!!!

Yes Buddy got "skunked"!!

The laughter took over and Tyler was more mad that it was funny than the fact that we had to bath Buddy in the middle of the night! I wish I had a tape recorded to capture every hilarious word he mumbled at that dog the whole while he was drying him!! It started out with "you stupid dog...." type of ranting to "those guys are not your friends...." to "bet you'll never sniff a skunk butt again..." of course his actual words were way funnier! HA HA HA

So as the night went on we had a good laugh watching Buddy pace the floors rubbing his head in every corner of the house trying to get the burning to stop....sad for him I know but really it was TOO FUNNY!!!

He even decided the book shelf and back of the couch might be of used to him....

Horaay for my ever so entertaining dog!!


P.S. In defense of Buddy I suppose I should mention that he had been outside for all of 5 minutes or less. He ran out by the gate where he likes to poop and was trying to do his business when the skunk who was on the other side of the fence sprayed him.....hopefully he's learned to poop before it gets dark!!

{The dog ate my homework!}

The oldest excuse in the book right? What teacher has EVER actually fallen for this one? Well let's hope Wyatt's teacher does when he sees the proof....

{where did the time go?}

I just watched my son reach up and grab the box of cookies on top of the fridge.....how did he get so big? It seems like just yesterday when I came out of the bathroom and found all the kitchen drawers opened like step ladders and my 18 month old son sitting on top of the fridge to eat the cookies!

Oh how the time goes by.....I love you Wyatt! And even though James is on his way I hope you know that after all our years together just the two of us.....You'll ALWAYS be my baby!!!
