Brett and I have been noticing that our three year old seems to kind of get on her siblings nerves. Well, not "kind of"…she totally drives them up the wall most of the time. She is fun and bubbly and energetic and a tease and they can’t stand that she is so happy all the [...]

My mom tagged me and since I was starting to feel bad that I have been blogging for over a year and have never been tagged I decided I better do what she asked! It is a tricky one since it is to “blog about five things in my life that I never dreamed, when [...]

I am sorry that last night while you were holding Kai for me I finished the puzzle you started. I thought you knew that you couldn’t start a puzzle and leave it out where I will find it and expect me to not be drawn in. I tried to resist, but the draw of Ariel’s [...]

Anna, as she points at my Diet Dr. Pepper: "Mom. That says Dr. Pepper. So can I play The Sims since I know that says Dr. Pepper. I can read now." She is three. And no, I don’t let her play The Sims. And I still can’t figure out what Dr. Pepper has to do [...]

Okay, so I got all excited when I looked at my blog stats after posting my last post and saw that four people were viewing my blog at the same time…and only minutes after posting! Then I realized I had my blog open in four different windows and realized that no, my popularity online isn’t [...]

I had forgotten how much I can get done with a baby in one arm. Not only can I load and unload the dishwasher with a baby in tow…I can do it with a SLEEPING baby curled up in one arm and keep him asleep. When Lincoln was a baby I made Luca lunch, got [...]
