Getting our Paint on

So it is Spring Break, but trying to find somehting cheap to do it very hard, this morning we went to Angelos so the kids could paint some pottery--We had a great time!!

Nice Weather

Happy 5 weeks
She is changin every day!!!

Who dresses these kids???

You really just have to laugh!!

Let's go Shooting

So Ian is laughing at me because I went to get my nails done today, then we went shooting, while I was wearing my new pink shoes--it is only fair I get to shoot the pink gun!!! I think he thought I didnt know how to shoot--HAHAH (now he knows better!!)

Here are the kids shooting--we had a very fun day and used all of our ammo!!!

What do you think it is???

So as we are driving to the shooting range I see this pile of scrap metal trash and I comment to Ian about the junk--he goes ask Aydan what it is.  So I ask Aydan "what is that pile over there" He goes "Oh my gosh mom that is a dead transformer, I think it is Optimus or maybe Meagtron" (I am laughing my butt of by now) And he goes on and on for about 10 minutes on how the transformer died--LOL

Happy 1 month

My lil baby is 1 month old already.. My very great friend Shelby took her one month pics.....she is such a pretty baby (but I might be a little biased--lol)
She is still sleeping great at night-4-4 1/2 hours (yay), she is starting to stay awake more and just watch everyone who talks to her!!!

Challenge Day 8

What is a short term goal for this month and why?

Is to start eating better--when I was preggo this time, I ate whatever I wanted and did not feel guilty about it at all!!! BUT now it is time to be good again and maybe loose some baby weight--lol It is hard when BFing though because salad and veggies give the baby gas...ugh I will get it figured out though.  I am also waiting for nice weather so I can start walking!!!

Oh Brooklyn

Movin the Baby
So it happened (and I knew it would).....I was in the kitchen, B was watching cartoons and the baby was in the swing.  Then B runs in I got hte baby out for you mom, WHAT???  I run into the LR and sure enough the baby was laying on the couch--still sleeping.  I have to admit I did have a small panic attack but the little bundle was totally unscathed (thank goodness).  And B kept going I got her...So I couldnt yell at her but I was like Thank you, next time mommy will get her.  I know this wont be the last time but woo--lol

B and Boobs
So B's reaction to this whole breastfeeding thing just cracks me up.  She has to sit in the chair with me when I feed the baby, well the other day K unlatched so B grabs my boob and yells at the baby to open her mouth and was trying to shove it in.  I was laughing so hard!!!

Aydanism
So yesterday I pick A up from school and on the way home..
A-Mom I need to go see uncle duffy
M-But aunt melinda is sicky so we have to wait till she is better
A-(he pauses) But I dont want to see aunt melinda, I just want to see uncle duffy

(this kids seriously has me laughing all the time with his seriousness)
