No More Mullet

My baby looks like a little boy! But last night his hair looked like a mullet, and it was getting out of control so I chopped off like 2 inches from the back.

$5 Dinners!

Saw this lady on the Rachael Ray Show today that started making dinners for her family of four for $5 or less! So I'm adding the link here for anyone interested. Sounds like she has some great ideas to incorporate into meal planning.

Easter Slideshow

Easter

The day before Easter we went to the Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Wall's. The weather was bad so we ended up doing it indoors.

For Easter dinner we went to Chris and Crystal's. Mom brought the ham, asparagus and chocolate eclair cake. I brought 2 potato casseroles. It was so good!

Teenagers

I have to vent to the world. I do not like teenagers, nor being the parent of a teenager. There I said it! I am a horrible, awful, sucky mom apparently.
I want to move far far away.

Table Dance

As I was trying to get Wyatt's p.j.'s on he decided to climb on the table and do a fabulous dance. It was so cute and by the time I got my camera he wouldn't cooperate but here are a couple pics from tonight. He is such a character. He loves when we read together. He is only saying a few words at this point but he is definitely trying to communicate (loudly). He especially loves pictures of balloons and dogs. He adores balls and has six different kinds he plays with constantly. We are having so much fun watching him grow.

Check out this blog

This blog is too funny. I read about it in the local paper and had to check it out- I think we have all come across (or even been guilty of being? lol) this type of blogger!

Briana's Birthday

Happy Birthday!

Briana's birthday was yesterday. We took her to Cheesecake Factory for dinner and I couldn't find my camera. It was in the diaper bag the whole time.

RV show last weekend

Going to this makes me feel like a redneck, but we got a lot of walking in!

Cat in the tub

Sushi decided to jump in the tub to sniff around.

Wyatt and Gus checking out the flag in our front yard on President's Day.

Playland

Gotta love the playland. You keep your fingers crossed they don't catch germs and douse them with germ-x. You watch crack mom and her 5 kids throw balls all over and bounce them off kids heads. You watch crack kids run up to your table and drink your child's drink while you are away monitoring your child. Yeah, why did I come here again? Oh that's right, after a few months of winter you'll do anything to keep your kids entertained and distracted for a while!

Our little Bubba

Oh My Gosh he is growing up too fast! These are his 15 month old shots which are supposed to be 12 month shots but I'm a slacker. The background was supposedly brown, but I think it looks a bit rosy. This is what happens when Crystal doesn't take the photos for me!

Cool Boots & Cuddling

In Jason's cool boots

Showing all his teeth

Cuddling with Briana (cute smile under that binky)

Cuddling with Grandpa Wall at Family Home Evening

First Ice Cream Cone and 2nd New Car (traded the first one!)

Wyatt has had ice cream before of course, but I think this is the first time we've given him a cone on his own. Thought Bri looked cute too.

If you noticed the picture of the car changed that is because I switched it for a different Camry. They were really nice to work with the crazy indecisive lady!

Lil' Maestro

Future American Idol

Wyatt's gloves

This is kind of crooked because Jason took it with his phone from the front seat. I guess Wyatt put these on while they were driving and thought he was pretty cool.

Embrace It

I hope that wherever I am in life, whatever the circumstances, that I will be in that moment and embrace it. Things will change soon enough. For better or worse, this moment will never come again.

Here's to 2009

A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
-Edgar A. Guest

For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning. - T.S. Eliot

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown. And he replied: Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way. -Minnie L. Haskins

Christmas Day

I enjoyed a pear and an apple at Grandma Wall's. A lot.

Me & Bri

Jason, cousin Jessica and Wyatt

Christmas Morning

Kicked back watching Mom and Sis play Wii.

I love my new car!

Opening my presents...

Gus REALLY loves his yearly Christmas Stocking!

Waiting patiently for the opening to begin... Briana would not allow me to take any photos of her in the morning so that's why she is missing in these...
