10,6,3 part 1 :)

THE pictures are in my possession! I can't for the life of me decide which picture(s) I like best, don't you love when that happens...
It's crazy to me how RED Norah's hair is getting, in the pictures anyway(or should I say auburn)...
It's also crazy that I am soon to have a 10 YEAR OLD child..... how did that happen people, I still feel 24!

10,6,3 part 2 :)

14 year olds

Last week I invited a teenager into my home for a few days.

Picked her up on Wednesday morning and brought her home Saturday afternoon.(some of you know how awesome a lone teenager is when you have many little people:))


Would you believe I forgot to take pictures THE entire time! I KNOW!! The last day we did what all family's that have a fish geek in them do, we went to the fish geek family summer picnic:)
Chrs remembered the camera thankfully and this is the one and only picture I have of the lovely Kelly!
My kids love her, I love her and Chrs calls her "feisty"
She reminds me a little of me when I was 14 :-) Now to figure out when I can get her back.........
I didn't want to see her go.........sniffle sniffle sniffle..........

I have within my sight the picture's of my amazing kiddo's! Problem is that I can't see them all!!! Waiting for the photographer to wake up and see my email.... Then I'll post a few here...... THEY ARE AMAZING!! If you have facebook you can see a few there in the mean time...............................

OOOHHHHH and we wont be seeing Cars2 people(At least not Ari), not after the reviews I read thanks to my friend Carey and this terrific website that reviews movies....

The basement, it's almost finished

This is my nasty, dirty, gross basement before(well almost before) and then after :) All I have left is to paint the wall above the HUGE aquarium and then finish the steps....

ding ding ding

******* SPECIAL ALERT, SPECIAL ALERT******* That which I thought would never happen and quite frankly stopped even hoping for, did indeed happen today, 2 times and THE child was not prompted!!
My 3yr old who turned 3 the end of March, used the potty today, 2 times!!! First time he actually ran to me, mom I have to poop and did so on the potty and then he peed. Second time said child ran into the potty and walked up to the toilet at peed!! WHO HOOOOO he may be "house trained" ;) before winter after all!!!!!!!!

a Tad bit behind these days..................................

Last weekend we went to the Big Ticket Festival and I'm posting pictures of what my kiddo's would say was the best part of the entire day :)
You know I haven't had an elephant ear in I don't even know how long so when I heard that Chrs and Isaac were going to get one I said "hey get 2"... Well they have ruined them folks, RUINED! You can now get toppings! TOPPINGS?! that should be cinnamon and sugar greasy awesomeness with the possibility of powered sugar (which I never got) but NOOOOOOOOOOO they came back with this thing that had "Bavarian creme" on it! I couldn't even eat it.....
