Seriously...In the DOOR?

Really...I'm not exactly sure what to say...I looked down and there it was...months and months, well, it's seemed like it any way....I've /we've looked high and low...no wallet. And there, sitting all alone like it's been waiting for me to find it all along...really, seriously, in the door? This whole time? I am at a total loss of words... I really am not sure what to say...(except now I have 2 wallets :D? )

There IS No Plan "B"

Mike and I went and saw this move on our date this weekend. Chees-E "YES", But is it good, "YES" I thought so. Could of used less profanity so that my boys could go see it but other than that it was a good movie.

I could not help but smile the entire time I watched it thinking back to my childhood, as IT was one of only a few shows that my dad would SIT and watch. WE (us kids) would crawl up in his bed or on the couch and snuggle with with him and watch the A-Team each week. My dad never missed a show and neither did we. Crazy as they were, we all watched. Guess that's like us watching Wipeout with our boys now. I loved those nights with my dad. Watching this move brought all those memories back. Guess now they just need to make a "Buck Rodgers" movie and well, they made a Star Trek movie but sorry, wont catch me at any of those.

I LOVE it when a plan comes together!

Word of the Day...

I have 3 of my nephews staying over for a few days while one of my FAVORITE sister-in-laws is at girls camp. (Let me say if I didn't LOVE her SOOOO much I could not handle 7 boys this long...4 is bad enough!! :S !! Now, HER on the other hand...patience of a SAINT!! an ELIASON trait I have yet to gain!)

SO...Word of the Day...

PATIENCE, let me give you an example...

Me:Have you loaded the dish washer?
Boys: YES!

Me: Did you put all the swim suits and towels outside so that there is not a HUGE puddle on the floor in the bathroom?
Boys: YES!

Me: Are all the beds made and toys put away?
Boys: YES!

Me: Have you put away all the Wii stuff, and all your food wrappers?
Boys: YES!

Me: Are the blankest put away?
Boys: YES!

Me: Are they having fun? YES...so, Guess I should chill out and let BOYS be BOYS right?!?! Got another 14 or so years of this...

Now FOOD that's a whole other ball game that I don't even want to talk about....

Who Said 3's a Crowd?

I have TWO best friends...some may say TWO, that's it...I, on the other hand, count each and every blessing that I even have that many!! Now, first off, this is NOT us. We don't dress this well, we have too many children. But if I got to pick, I would go with the chic in the middle, I'm diggin' the white and red.

Any way...about my TWO friends...this week alone each of them have managed to SAVE MY LIFE. Yep, SAVE MY LIFE and they didn't even charge my insurance. (sweet!) Talk about being blessed.

It is extremely hard for me to ask for help and they were both VERY in tune and knew that not only did I need it but that I needed it fast. What a blessing it has been to me to have such wonderful women placed in my life. Women who are aware of the needs of others, women who listen to the prompting of the Spirit, women who are not fearful to hush me up knowing that that is what is needed to keep me from going the loony bin. My friends, they are one in a million and that they have chosen to stick around and be by MY side all these years, well, that there says mounds about them.

I hope YOU ladies know how very much I LOVE and adore you. How much you mean in my life. I hope you know that you are the ones that keep me going many a days. You are my inspiration and my role models. You are fabulous mothers and wives. You are my dearest friends and I offend think of you like sisters. Our relationship is a treasure I hold near and dear to my heart and value like I do my chocolate cup cake and diet coke!! :D Only YOU can make me laugh when the tears wont stop (well besides Mike of course) and give me the honest feed back that I desire so much. It's you that listens to my non-stop venting...that I AM working so hard to stop!! (NO, I am!!...I am, stop laughing!!) It's you that puts up with my black and with viewing of the world and still offers me the colored version in case I change my mind. It's you that LOVES my boys like they are your own when I am not around.

I can not tell you enough how much you mean to me...but please try and know...you are my sanity and I love you!!!! Thank you for always being there!!! Especially this past week, I really would have never made it without you.

Love you!!

me

You MUST be joking...

I want to be one of THESE...

So, I've been needing LOT's of these...

Because, you have to have to one of THESE...

Which means I need a BUNCH of these...
And now I just have a heck of a lot of THESE!!!

4 Down---2 Two Go

Mike & I have been BLESSED with many a "GOOD" things..TEETH for example. We both have great teeth. Now, on the other hand, SIGHT, was not one of those blessings. After an eye appointment on Tuesday, we found out that Crate was in need of glasses too...

SO, off we went to get him his first pair. Quite good lookin' if you ask me, but I'm a bit partial.

24

THIS...is how the last 24 hours have been @ my house...I went from 5 "boys" to 12 in a matter of seconds! It all began at 9am yesterday morning and it continues on until this very second...I must say...It has been must more pleasant than I expected. As many of you know "Summer MOM" is not my given talent so I am working on that...maybe starting of with 12 was a jump and doing it with Baker away for a week was the wrong timing but so far we have made it and there have been no tears, fights or injury's...we'll...I think I may have scared my nephew with my burst of sarcasm but I'm hoping the chocolate chip cookies made up for that one :S.
