POOP.

The fear of a young mother! 

Yesterday Chloe came running downstairs yelling "Conny is pooping on a towel in the laundry room!!!!!". Of course being the BAD mom that I am I casually took my time (seeing as how I'm SURE she was already finished with this LOVELY task of hers, and I was kinda excited she wasn't pooping in her pants!) up the stairs. When I got there Melanie, Chloe, Emily, and Conny were all giving eachother weird looks. 

Conny proceeded to inform me that she had poop on her bottom..."get it off mommy". 

I didn't see a pile of brown on the floor so the questions started rolling......."where is the poop, who would let you just poop on the floor, OHHHH you pooped in the potty but there was some still on your bottom so you just used the towel to get the rest off?" 

Hurray for mom lingo, she DID remember how to use the potty and sometimes you just can't get that nasty stuff off of you fast enough so you opt for a dirty towel. Of course the GOOD mom came out and praised the wonderful POTTY time!!!!!!!!!!

Why'd ya do that Aunt Rach?!?

When you give Parker a mohawk, Hanna will need to know why. When you tell her it's to make Uncle Brandon laugh she will inform you that..."Uncle Brandon doesn't laugh, I haven't ever heard him, I don't think he even knows how. I HAVEN'T ever even seen him SMILE!"  

Uncle Brandon chuckled a little under his breath when I informed him of his unhappy-ness! And Hanna still hasn't ever seen him smile!!!

YUMMY!!!

WOW! Who knew eating mashed potatoes could be so GOOD (okay I TOTALLY did, but I won't post THOSE pictures of me! *giggles*)

It's been a while...

It's a SISTER sort of night! The boy is sick...won't sleep unless he's sitting up. HURRAY for SNOT BUBBLES! *giggles* I rented some girlie movies...Mel's makin' popcorn. OH YEAH!! It's a late night sissy party. Too bad our Sea-star isn't here. *tears* We'll have as much fun as we can without her! Brang on the silliness!!!!!!

Late night PARTY!

I'm the fill in the for the Sunbeams and OF COURSE I wait until the last possible minute to do my lesson. Conny snuck downstairs tonight so I let her help me...Well I ran off to do something and she continued to help me! She's such a stinkin' cutie I couldn't get upset with her, I'm just thankful she's so HELPFUL!!!! 

A day with DADDY!!!

Brandon is AMAZING!!! He's such a good dad and a WONDERFUL, TERRIFIC, PERFECT (and YES I can say that...I've tested the waters), LOVING, SILLY husband!!! We had such fun checking out Kodiak today. We didn't go from one end to the other but there were LOTS of adventures!!!

I'm the luckiest girl in the world....I'm the LUCKIEST girl in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what to do...

I think it's an outdoorsy day....fishin' anyone? I REALLY hope we don't catch any thing! YUCKY!!!!! I just want the sunshine!!!!

Pie anyone!?

After the parade was MORE Fourth of July FUN!!!! There was a BBQ put on my the American Legion and THEN a pie eating contest. OF COURSE... Our girls WON!!!

water balloons...

While Matilda and Chloe were having a bath I took Hanna, Emily, and Conny outside on a HOT HOT HOT Alaskan day to toss water balloons... It was a good time UNTIL...

Emily's popped on the way outside, Hanna's wouldn't pop, and Conny just wanted to LOVE on hers! *smiles* 

Ton of FUN!!!

We were in the FOURTH OF JULY parade!!!!! It was soooo much fun! Mel's girls helped pass out candy and trinkets, my kids sat in the stroller while Uncle Marky pushed! Brandon passed up on the fun, ya know...he's WAY too cool for that sort of thing! *giggles* (or maybe he just wanted a few hours piece at home!). 

Mel wants to start a party store, she's even got a business license!!! Be ready for months and months of CRAZINESS!! Ton of Fun will be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun in the GARDEN...
