A girl after my own heart!

I have a cute chubby bird that is my screen saver at home. When Olivia saw it she said “OH Mom! That is the cutest chubbiest bird I’ve ever seen, I just want to eat him up!”

She is definitely my little girl and I adore her.

So sweet you'll get a cavity

We had the Thompsons (brother & sister-in-law) over for a BBQ and the lighting was beautiful so we had an impromptu photo shoot of Miss. Bria.... I couldn't help myself. Here is a little sample and one of my favorites!

Olivia-isms and Chuck E Cheese

Never freaking mind because I cannot find my cord that hooks to my camera to get my pictures off of it. I cannot stand to lose things and I cannot STAND to lose things I need so much and that are expensive and hard to replace.

Anyway- if ever I get my house in order and find a dang thing I'll maybe update my blog. Until then, I'm going to pout a little and maybe throw in a little laundry.

---Update---
See how I sounded like a bratty teenager up above? Now you know I'm not perfect... (AS IF you didn't know that before.) Sorry about that vent, but this blog is my outlet.

Loves,

No, this is not my puppy. But I think if I will it to be true, it can be. Right?

Why... WHY?

On a fairly recent trip to McDonalds the kids found a special surprise in their happy meals. A CD called Kidz Bop, with four horrifying songs on it. My kids treasure these stupid CD's and listen to them every chance they can get (although they are kept in Kit's car...smart thinking by me.)

If you aren't familiar with KidZ bop (why is it cool to add a Z on to something that should have an S- same with adding two x's to something: Thatz cool to the maxx.)

Anyway, it is a combination of desperate-for-a-job adult singers and a chorus of children singing "cool" and "popular" songs. Its all just a little off-key and there are words substituted in here and there.

Songs such as:

Pink: Lets get this party started

Pussycat Dolls: I'm gonna stick wit chu

Barenaked Ladies: All star

If this CD isn't good enough birth control for those of you who don't have kids, I don't know what is. Because until you are ready to have your ears bleed for the sake of your children's happiness, don't make one :)

There is a reason you do not see Carson with any sparklers or fireworks. He was so horrified by them my Mom took him inside, his fear from last year has not faded. Poor fella.

Olivia meets Bria

More pictures coming soon, including 4th of July!

Oh, and the name of that song in my post is called "Night Minds" by Missy Higgins.

My New Niece!!!

I met Miss. Bria yesterday and did a little photo shoot with her. She was gorgeous and teeeeeny and perfect. Olivia demanded most of the time Bria be in her arms. Pictures to come!

Congratulations to Brett, Marissa & Big Brothers Maddox and Vann.

Enjoying a popcicle and getting messy!!

Not sure why...

But I thought i would post these lyrics. Maybe its for someone who reads but I think a lot of it is for me. The song is beautiful, worth a download.

Just lay it all down. Put your face into my neck and let it fall out.

I know I know I know. I knew before you got home.

This world you're in now, It doesn't have to be alone, I'll get there somehow, 'cos I know I know I know When, even springtime feels cold.

But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see, So we can both be there and we can both share the dark. And in our honesty, together we will rise, Out of our nightminds, and into the light At the end of the fight...

You were blessed by a different kind of inner view: it's all magnified. The highs would make you fly, and the lows make you want to die. And I was once there, hanging from that very ledge where you are standing. So I know I know I know, It's easier to let go.

But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see, So we can both be there and we can both share the dark. And in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds And into the light at the end of the fight. ...and in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds And into the light... at the end of the fight...


I understand.

He's ok! Got up and went fishing today for the day.

I think he might live until he's 457.
