Oh Happy Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!

And . . . . Happy Birthday to my brother Shawn! P.S. Shawn, you have no normal pictures of yourself on Facebook. So, this is as good as it gets. I guess it's a pretty fair representation though. You really are SUPERMAN!

A Smelly Subject

This is not an innocent little boy. This is THE gas expellingest, wind breakingest, cheese cuttingest, little baby you will ever meet. Usually when a baby gives a sweet little toot, people just look over and laugh and say "Uh oh , somebody has a gassy tummy. Yes you do. Goo goo goo." Not this kid. Oh no! He lets one go that is loud, long, and smelly and people look at me and wonder what I ate for dinner. So, the next time you hear or smell something coming from the general direction of a mom and a baby . . . . don't judge too quickly.

Please

This is kind of late notice and I don't usually like to publish these sort of things on my blog, but I feel this one is going too far. An ex-mormon has given details about the LDS temple ceremonies to the show Big Love on HBO. They will be airing this episode, which will show some of the ceremonies, on Sunday to make a mockery of the LDS faith. Anyone who shares my beliefs will know that these ceremonies are SACRED and not SECRET, so to show these beautiful things on such a misleading show upsets me greatly. Even if you don't share my beliefs but believe that I, as your friend, deserve a fair portrayal of my religion please write to http://www.hbo.com/apps/submitinfo/contactus/submit.do?title=GeneralInformation&questiontype=generalInformation&questiontype=general

Me, lazy??

There are some days (okay, most days lately) when I am so delirious with lack of sleep that I am a lazy parent. Kids like wearing their pajamas all day, right? You have these dreams before you become a parent that you will spend all day doing EVERYTHING right. Your laundry will be done, your kitchen free of dishes, and every toy in its' place. Your children will spend their time doing art projects, reading books, and, of course, being perfect little angels. Reality can be harsh. It's just good to know that there are some more of you out there like me who are probably TRYING, but trying on 4 hours of sleep :)

P.S. Just to clarify, that first picture is NOT my child :) And, I do not have one of those futuristic scooter thingys.

The Bros

    Mushing the baby

I am almost a dognapper

Awwwww. Fresh air. We were finally able to step outside for a walk yesterday and it felt great. The baby slept and Christopher was able to run around and play with some of the neighbor kids. On our way to the playground we spotted a girl walking her dog. It was the funniest sight in the world. She had a miniature pinscher puppy and it was THE tiniest thing I have ever seen on a leash. I tried to pet this puppy, but even the gentlest touch sent the dog tumbling over. Adorable. I almost grabbed the puppy, put it in with the baby, and ran. Almost.

Torture

And we wonder why we fight with our siblings??

Pure torture and humiliation . . .
