Mother's Day

Bree insisted I take a picture of this. Easter morning for Daddy.... Easter morning for kids. Bree was so excited to get her webkinz. This is a picture tahen while I was laying on the floor. coloring eggs Oh, my life is so hard. Mallory loves bathtime now.

Mallory was blessed on March 21st. Here are pics from that day.

Let me start by saying, this all happened in one afternoon in a two hour period of time. Not quite the glamourous life I pictured when I was sixteen, but when you get everything you asked for out of life, you have to laugh at the small disasters. Wednesday, March10th was no exception. Bree came down the stairs so I could drive to her friend, Austin's house for a playdate. She told me David had painted on her (freshly finished painted walls that morning). When I went upstairs, this is what I discovered. I cannot even find the temples to tape them back on. I had to order new glasses. Yes, as a matter of fact that is black paint on white walls. A picture I had framed that morning. No, David! Where does such naughtyness come from? No, David! Will I make it to his 5th birthday? No, David! I love my little troublemaker. No, David!

This morning I woke up and said to Ed, "What is that smell?". He said he didn't smell it. I was terrified it was my breath, but even more terrified when I realized what it was.....POOP! David had pooped in his pull-up, came in my room and took it off, then went downstairs to get another one. My morning prayer went as follows; Dear Lord, thank you for choosing me to clean up all this poop. I am not sure where I would be without feces to clean up everyday. I remember people from lifestyles of the rich and famous and wonder why they think they have it made. Why, oh why didn't I discover this lifestyle earlier in my youth so the joys of wiping poop up from around the house could have been mine? Thank you for helping someone to discover clorox wipes so I don't have to wash the rags when the dirty deed is over. And thank yoou especially that that smell wasn't my breath. Amen Here are a few pictures for your viewing enjoyment. Mallory is growing is fast! D...

Donny LOVES to play Bionicles online. Mallory We start our kids reading the "paper" early in this house. Bree's new Cinderella nightgown during "vent time". My friend Lisa gave me this cute outfit for Mallory. Bree made this model of me out of bendaroos. Notice my mouth, I am eating a pretzel. Should I diet? When your kids start making pics of you eating, perhaps it time to find a new hobby. David, during naptime, decided to get dressed. Even the socks match! They are navy blue.

All of my preciousnesses. Mallory does not appreciate bathtime yet. Proud daddy. Donny getting ready to blow out candles. David calls Mallory princess. It is the name he came up with for her.
