Happy Birthday to ME!!!


Look what Matt got me for my birthday! Yes I am excited and no he didn't think of it on his own. I coached him on what to get me and I am glad that he listened. This will come in very handy when I am doing haircuts!! Thanks Matt!

Pink Eye

We had our first experience with Pink Eye last week. Parker started showing signs of this yucky infection on the 10th and I just thought maybe it was allergies or an eye cold. It progressively got worse and then started oozing. I took him to the doctor and she did confirm that it was Pink Eye. Parker stayed home from school on Thursday and was very bummed that he would be missing class. I was bummed that I wouldn't get time to myself while he was at school. We kept the hand sanitizer wherever we went and tried really hard to not spread it to others. But on Friday I noticed Paxten's eyes were getting a little red and starting to have green eye boogers, so I called the Dr. back and got a prescription for him as well. (why don't they just send home a family prescription for those types of things, do they really want us bringing in all our sick kids one at a time to get others sick!) So after 7 days on antibiotics we are Pink Eye Free....now I just need to get rid of this nasty cold I got in the meantime. URGH!!!

The Writing on The Walls...Literally

I came home one night last week after being at my mom's for a few minutes and this is what I found all over the house. Someone had used a black crayon and put "t's" all over the house. There wasn't one wall untouched! As I looked around the house I just kept seeing more and more crayon on the walls and I found myself getting madder and madder. Who did this? and did it while Matt was supervising??? There is only one guess....Miss Paige! She has been a little naughty lately and I knew this was something she would do. She has been writing on all sorts of stuff lately, except paper. So she did get in trouble and the next day she spent about 30 minutes cleaning my walls, chairs, and tables...I hope she learned her lesson!

Pax's Pictures






After my not so good experience at JCPenney last time I took the kids to get pictures I was in no way wanting to back there so I asked my friend Valeigha to take some pictures of Paxten for his 6 month mark. Well by the tine I got around to it he was 7 months old, but it still works! They turned out so great, I love them. I think she did better than the so-called professional at JCPenney's! Thanks so much Valeigha, I owe you one!!

8 Months


Paxten turned 8 months old yesterday! He is now rolling all over the place and just in the last few days has learned to do sort of an army crawl on the floor to get something he wants. Before I know it he will be running all over the place and won't be my little baby anymore. He also love to stand next to furniture and can stand in one place for about 5 minutes before falling over. He is still super attached to me, but has been better about not having to be held 24 hours a day. Matt said he would watch all the kids when I go scrapbooking in a few weeks if I could get him weaned, I don't know if that is wishful thinking, it sure would be nice, but I don't think it is very realistic. We shall see!

Just for Fun




This is what we do around here for fun and entertainement.

Paige Says....

Paige is quite the silly little girl. She is pretty darn smart for her age and sometimes she randomly says stuff that just makes me laugh. Lately whenever she likes something she says... I do like______ (whatever she happens to like right then) for instance these are a few of the things she is liking right now and tells me all the time.

When Parker leaves for school Paige has to go outside too to wait for the school bus, and after the bus leaves she walks into the house and says, "I do like school buses!" She does this every day, I can almost count on her saying it. It is so funny!

She also says, "I do like pop", "I do like makeup", " I do like Cheetos" you get the point. It is pretty funny. Last night we were talking about the kids growing up and that Parker would be the first to leave the house if he went on a mission and that maybe Paige would be the first to get married if she didn't go on a mission and then she proclaimed, "I do like missions". It was hilarious!

Yesterday she came to me and said for Christmas she wanted new shoes, an IPAD, and new makeup. What?? She's 3 years old and she thinks she needs and IPAD! It was funny because she said it so quickly like I wouldn't catch it. I guess she is going to be disappointed, because she is NOT getting and IPAD for Christmas!
