Welcome to our "new" blog home. Please excuse the mess, we are still under construction. I am trying to decide whether or not to make the blog public once again or keep it private for personal friends and family. Therefore, I will (for the time being anyway) still be using the kids bloggy nicknames.
Sorry there is nothing really recent here, I am going to try to get MUCH better at this once again! I know our family and friends who are not around here or who are not on facebook enjoy keeping up with our kiddos so I will make an honest effort to update regularly. And some of my old readers do not even know I was ever pregnant, much less that I had the baby! Oops!
I will also be on the look out for a bloggy name for our newest little princess, unless I just call her "our new little princess" instead. hehe

I'm in denial, I feel sick, but it's real...
Grab your Kleenexes people, this one is a tear jerker...
The first moment I learned you were on your way, I loved you. The entire time I waited for you to arrive, I loved you. The first time I ever laid eyes on you, I loved you. The first time I held you, I loved you. I love you more with each passing day.
Dear Ian,
Wow! I do not even know where to start. I sit here tonight writing this as you are upstairs sweetly sleeping. Tomorrow begins the first day of the rest of your life. You start kindergarten, a new chapter in your life. You are so super excited. I think you might be a bit nervous as well, but mostly excited. You had a hard time falling asleep, just like mommy. The night before a big event, I can never fall asleep easily. Mommy and Daddy love you so very much, more than you could ever know. You are such a special little boy. You are such a joy to be around, you are friendly, loving, caring and tenderhearted. You are the funniest guy I know. It both breaks my heart and fills me with pride to see the big boy that you are becoming. I am excited to see what you are growing into, yet sad for the little boy you are leaving behind. You bring such joy to our lives. Not just us, but everyone who knows you. I thought sending you to pre-school last year was going to be hard, it was but you had such a great time. You grew, you learned so much and you matured. You made so many friends and you had fun. Now it is time for us to take you for your first day of Kindergarten. I honestly do not know how Daddy and I are going to hold it together long enough to say goodbye to you. It is going to be the hardest thing I have ever had to do. We do not want you to see us upset so that will be tomorrow's challenge. I'm so glad that it is not on the agenda for tonight because I'm not doing such a great job. As soon as I put the pen to the paper, the tears began to freely flow. This time I did not try to hold them back. This week has been hard. Each time we have talked about school, it has gotten harder. Shopping for shoes was fun, you picked out Star Wars shoes and I handled that well. Clothes shopping was a bit harder for me. Seeing you in your little uniform nearly sent me into hysterics but I somehow held it together for you. Picking out a backpack and lunch kit made it seem more real. Meeting your teacher and seeing your name on things around the room solidified it for me. I knew it was real. I am still having trouble accepting it. I'm in denial, I feel sick, but it's real...What am I going to do for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week without my best friend? I love you more than you'll ever know! You're the BEST!
Here it comes again...

I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E!
Someone found a sharpie...
a silver sharpie.
Good thing he's cute.
NICE...down both legs...
and the belly.
Who, ME???
NAH! Not ME!
Where's your evidence? You cannot prove a thing!
Oh, yea...that DOES look like me.
Do you like what I did with mommy's computer chair?
I never liked plain black anyway. Ah...
a silver sharpie.

I know, I suck...
It was recently brought to my attention by a friend of mine that I suck...Just kidding, she did not exactly put it like "that."
I have not posted anything in over a month and before that, not really anything on a regular basis. I have many "excuses" you see. I did not say that they were good excuses by the way.
First and foremost, I will blame it on the youngest and cutest member of our family...Tutti Frutti...90% of my lack of blogging is his fault! Ok, maybe not quite 90% but you get the picture. You see, everytime I sit down at the computer, no matter where he is or what he is doing, he finds me, he pulls my hand off of the mouse and if I send him away or continue what I am doing, he proceeds to have a cow. Today...he is sleeping, not sure for how long. :)
Secondly, I have been keeping a friend of mine's son. He is 6 months old, enough said.
Thirdly, since I got my beloved iPhone, I hardly ever get on the actual desktop anymore. My blog stalking is even suffering, I do check up on some of my usual spots on occasion but not near as often.
I go to bed between 9-10 with the kiddos...makes it kind of difficult to blog when you are sleeping. I get up with the kids too...no time alone.
Now I am finished with the excuses. I'll tell you some of what we have been up to lately. You know we went to Disney World back in May. I have yet to upload the pictures. I really need to clean out some pictures on the computer because I am almost out of space! UGG! Who has that many pictures?!? Yea, I do.
My baby sister got married in the beginning of June, she was a beautiful bride! My baby graduated Pre-K! I cried. My middle nephew graduated high school. My oldest niece graduated middle school. My oldest baby will be in 8th grade next year!!! OMG! Does that mean I am old? Sheesh! Humm, we saw Shrek 4, Toy Story 3 and ate lots of pickles! My parents got a new puppy, she is the cutest flippin thing you have ever seen! She is a mini black schnauzer and her name is Maggie. Tutti-Frutti talks about her 24/7, baby dog, baby dog, baby dog...you get it. He has also become obsessed with "Mouse" otherwise known as Mickey Mouse, formarly known as "Bousch" and "Memo" otherwise known as Nemo. He is obsessed with all things dog. Lately he has been wearing a Mickey Mouse lanyard around the house and carrying a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal everywhere he goes. He got a pair of blue Mickey Mouse crocs while we were gone, and yep you guessed it, he is obsessed with those as well, so much so he has even been known to nap in them...and them alone. (Ok, yes he was wearing a diaper!)
Humm, my house is a wreck, the kids are home for summer, it is too hot to go outside, and we have been staying up way too late, not cooking way too often, eating out way too often and spending too much money! Haha.
On a different note, a good friend of mine welcomed her 2nd little boy in early June and I am super happy for her and her hubby!
When I get bored, I surf FaceBook to see what everyone else is doing.
I think that just about sums up (mostly) what we have been up to lately. More to come...hang tight. I will try to get some pictures up soon too. I am sure my kids have grown by leaps and bounds since the last time you have seen them...remember, I suck! Haha

Not me! Monday
Welcome to Not me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest and live to tell about it.
A few weeks ago, it was not me who let my child go to school looking like this! Nope, we care more about our appearance than that.
Since he did not go to school looking like this, we did not see this when we got there!
Nope, we would never let anyone treat our child like that!
Speaking of not me...it is not me who leaves in 2, yes 2 days for Disney World. Good thing too because it is not me who has done no packing, what so ever. Nope, I am more organized and prepared than that.
It is not me who is sitting here at the computer today trying to do a little catching up with my blog so you readers do not run off, never to return again, instead of being upstairs packing. Nope...not me!
Now, head on over to MckMama's new blog and see what everyone else has not been doing.
Happy Monday!
Someone loves hats
This is why some of us go to t-ball games...we like to wear the batting helment!
Sometimes we wear it backward.
Sometimes we wear just a cap.
But mainly we like the batting helment.
It's fun to wear it backward.
And someone sure is cute.
Someone likes to walk around wearing it backward.
Sometimes we use it as a chair.
Back up and take aim.
Sit and think.
Think some more.
We have to check to make sure it is there, because...
sometimes it throws us off.
But I am pretty sure that we will just get up and dust ourselves off and try again later...

Yankee Doodle
This has nothing to do with the pictures...but they were funny.
Tonight while in the tub, Boog was humming the tune to Yankee Doodle. He could not think of the name of the song so he asked me what it was that he was humming. I told him it was Yankee Doodle, so he began singing.
Boog: "Yankee Doodle went to town, riding on a pony.
Stuck a feather in his pocket,
and called it Macaroni!"
Me: "Stuck a feather where?"
Boog: "In his pocket!"
Me: "(laugh) He stuck it in his hat and called it macaroni."
Boog: "Oh...(thought a second) No he didn't."
Me: "Yes he did."
Boog: "Sing it."
Me: "Yankee Doodle went to town, riding on a pony. Stuck a feather in his hat and called it Macaroni."
Boog: "Uh uh. It's Yankee Doodle went to town, riding on a pony. Stuck a feather in his pocket and called it Macaroni!"
Me: "Ok."
Silly boy.
