Sunday, Day 27 of 365

Today was a pouting day. He was mad because we wouldn't let him destroy the blinds at Chili's. He badly needed a nap!

Saturday, Day 26 of 365

Mischief tried to walk past Lucas on the couch, and he reached out and grabbed her. He's starting to grab every thing that gets with in his reach. She seemed really suprised that he grabbed her, and she actually just settled down and was letting him hold her. That is until he decided that she might make a good chew toy....LOL

Friday, Day 25 of 365

So, usually my kids, or my new kitty are the subject of my 365 pics, but today...I saw this and this will have to sum up the highlight of my day. Sad as that is, the most excitement I had was walking up to the neighbor's yard sale. They had some little hand golf carts that Chuck wanted to check out...we didn't get those, but he did get 21 golf clubs for $2. They aren't the greatest, but most are in decent condition. He's going to be able to get a whole set for Logan out of them though! So worth the walk up there. However this $10 table was the most..interesting...thing that they had for sale. We could only think of it as a crotch table! LOL

Thursday, day 24 of 365


Today's photo of the day...our new kitty, Mischief. Chuck found her at work. Someone dumped a whole litter of them out at the dumpster outside his store! Being the big softy that he is, you know he couldn't leave her there. So he brought her home, and his coworkers took the rest of them. She is so fun to watch. When I first saw her, I thought she was such a pitiful looking little thing. She looks much better now that she has had a bath! Smells alot better too!! We've decided to call her Mischief, because every time we turn our backs she's getting into mischief!

Wednesday, Day 23 of 365

My boys left today to go visit their dad for the summer. I'm so depressed. Lucas has been freaking evil today too...*sigh*

Tuesday, day 22 of 365

Ethan and Lucas were snuggling with me before we got up for the day. They were so cute. E would tell Lucas something and Lucas would just coo back at him. Ethan told him, this is a quarter. You can't have it because you might eat it. Then you would choke and die, and then I'd be sad. And Mama would whoop my big fat bahookey.

Aren't kids funny?

Monday, day 21 of 365

You just never know what to expect with little boys! Monday was Memorial Day, and we managed to catch a Star Wars marathon on TV. Being little boys, you know how much they loved that! So we spent the day sitting on the couch (not always on bottoms as you can see), eating popcorn, and getting our Jedi fix!

sick baby...enough said

Saturday, Day 19 of 365


We took a trip up to visit my mom, just for the day. She wanted to see Logan and Ethan before they left for the summer. She hadn't seen them since October! She doesn't make the trip here, I have to go see her. And with the fire and new baby, we just hadn't had the money...

Friday, Day 18 of 365

Glen graduated today! Preschool graduation, that is! But they had the caps and gowns...even got little diplomas. Each of the 19 kids in his class had 2 poems/songs to perform, plus several group songs. They were SOOOO cute! Here's Glen and his proud Daddy :D

Thursday, Day 17 of 365

Goofing around at the doctor's office before their physicals. They totally freaked when they were told they had to pee in a cup!

Wednesday, Day 16 of 365

So, the big event of today is that it was the last day of school. Not only the last day of the year, but their last day EVER at Clyde Riggs! Next year they will be at another school, we are in a different zone at the new house, so goodbye Clyde Riggs!

Logan is looking more and more like Chris every day....

Tuesday, Day 15 of 365

Lucas and Chuck sitting out in the picnic area of Jetter's during dinner. I love the pooh shirt...we actually have 2 of the exact same one. I'm going to be so sad when he outgrows it.

Monday, Day 14 of 365

Logan, watching something on the computer and looking so serious. He is growing up entirely too fast. He's already picking out what kind of car he is going to get when he starts driving. And worries about money, and what is going to happen because of this or that. I wish he didn't worry, but he gets that from me...

Sunday, Day 13 of 365

More thumbsucking.....*sigh* He's SO attached to it now.

Saturday, day 12 of 365

Saturday we went to the Strawberry Festival here in Portland. I took over 100 pictures of the kids playing. They did Laser Tag with Chuck. Logan and Ethan vs. Glen and Chuck. The boys were so busy watching Chuck that they would forget Glen, and he could walk right up to them and shoot them.....

Friday, Day 11 of 365

So, it's official..my baby is a thumbsucker :( Neither of my big boys were...they barely took a pacifier. My stepson is almost 5 and still sucks his thumb. I'm really, really, really hoping that we can get Lucas to stop well before then. *sigh* If not, it will drive me crazy!!!

Wednesday and Thursday, Days 9 and 10 of 365

Glen was inspecting the house with a magnifying glass on Thursday...he was so cute!

Lucas is quite the outdoorsy baby. He loves to be outside, or looking out. We spend quite a bit of time standing at the door looking out so that he is happy!


Monday and Tuesday, Days 7 and 8 of 365

Lucas looking cute as always on Tuesday :)

Playing with Daddy on Monday....

365, Days 3 through 6

Me and my boys on Mother's Day. Ok...I obviously didn't take this pic myself, but it was the best representation of that day....

Saturday, Chuck reading Sports Illustrated to Lucas...trying to make him a sports addict early on
Friday, Ethan's recycle project...we made a lion out of a pop box, oatmeal canister, 4 toilet paper rolls and a kroger bag....Not too bad huh?

Logan on Thursday afternoon....in his John Deere shirt. We got it on clearance for like $3.50! We bought a different John Deere shirt for each of the 3 big boys and didn't pay over $4 for any of them. I love clearance racks :)

Wednesday, Day 2 of 365

My photo for Wednesday....is my Mother's Day present from my boys. I know, I know, Mother's Day isnt until Sunday. But I have little boys, they can't wait. So this has got to be the most...interesting...present I have ever got for Mother's Day. I got a pearl necklace. And had to get the pearl out of the oyster myself. It came from Bass Pro Shop, LOL! Not somewhere that you expect a Mother's Day present to come from, huh? It was cute though, and I do love it. I let the boys get the pearl out, mainly because I didn't want to touch the oyster!

365 Days, 365 Photos

They say a picture is worth 1000 words. At times, I think that is true. It can remind you of days long past, things you hadn't remembered until you looked at it. I found this challenge on a friend's page on facebook.

http://photojojo.com/content/tutorials/project-365-take-a-photo-a-day/

So, I'm going to take the challenge. And do a photo a day. I may not be able to upload them all every single day. I have a life with 4 kids! Some times I don't have time to upload daily! Having 4 kids, I usually take more than one photo a day anyways! lol

I took this picture of me and Lucas sitting on our porch on Tuesday.

Tennessee's Monsoon Season

When I moved here, no one told me there was a monsoon season! It has rained for 2 weeks pretty much non stop...My kids can't play outside. We cant mow the grass. Our yard looks like a swamp. I can't plant any flowers....I hate rain.

On another note...I finally saw "Twilight". And, I have to admit, I really dont see what all the hype is about. Decent movie, but I have seen way better! Why is everyone so excited about it? I just don't get it. Maybe I am just too old to appreciate it.
