Parker’s Room, Hot Chocolate, Folded Laundry

I haven’t given any Three Beautiful Things lately, and I need a little pick-me-up, so I thought I’d share some with you all right now.
1.  Parker is in his own bedroom!!  He slept in his crib all the way until 2 am last night.  Then he spent the rest of the night with Ches and [...]

Catching Up

How was your Thanksgiving weekend, everyone? Our was good.  Uneventful (which is a good thing in this household of active monsters, I mean boys).  We were invited to Thanksgiving dinner at some friends’ house.  We went there last year, too.  It was really fun to hang out with their big family.  Their kids all played [...]

Back In the Kitchen…

Thanks, Alyson, for telling us about this.  Apron A Day is having a giveaway (ends today!!) of a really, really cute apron.  Click here for that link.  These aprons make me wish I lived in the 50’s and my name was June Cleaver or something.   And I always need to wear an apron [...]

Parker Walking

Okay, so it’s a little long, but Parker is just so dang cute!! Oh, and it’s really dark.  My hallway is, apparantly, too dark for shooting videos.  So I will get another one put up tomorrow and replace it.  You can still see and hear the important parts for now.  He says “Aiden” and “bye [...]

Dearest Offspring,

I know that you love me.  I know that you love to play with me.  I know that you love to hang around my legs as I try to cook our meals.  I know that you love to jump on my stomach as I lay on the couch or lay down on the floor for [...]

The Phone Call

Last Sunday, I was sitting here on the computer when I heard Aiden’s voice in my bedroom.
“Hi.  It’s Aiden.  I just wanted to talk to Grandpa.” 
My ears perked up a bit.  Grandpa??  Who is Aiden talking to?  So I went into my room and saw Aiden standing there, talking into the phone.  “Aiden!!  Who are [...]

Trading Spaces

Remember when everyone who was anyone who knew anything watched “Trading Spaces”?  It was such a great show.  Cute host Paige Davis introduced us to the neighbors who were going to take over each others’ homes for a few days, fun, innovative, and sometime psychotic designers (*cough*Hildi*cough*) were in charge, they had the help of [...]

Aiden in Bed

Look what Ches and I found last night once Aiden had finally gone to sleep:

Aiden told me this morning that he was being a Rebel Trooper. And his pillow was his blanket and Dallin’s elephant was his pillow.
What a wierd, funny kid I have.

Down Came The Rain

I think I am losing my freakin’ mind.  Seriously.  Stupid, lazy person that I am, I forgot to call my doctor’s office yesterday to have a new prescription written for my anti-depressants.  So now it’s the weekend and I don’t know that the office will be open on Monday because of Veteran’s Day (although I [...]

Our Own Linus

I’m pretty sure I’ve told all of you this, but humor me anyway. Dallin is our own little Linus. If I wasn’t so against having my children’s first names end in an “s” sound (it blends in too well with our last name), I think we would have legally changed his name [...]
