Lazy Friday

Today was DH's and mine 6th wedding anniversary.

It's also a Friday

and

we went to a party and stayed way too late.

I'm tired.

Pictures to happen tomorrow.

Thursday....

Ok...Blogger is NOT cooperating with me...
so, once again I cannot load pictures...

We went to a Kindergarten play date tonight at a local play place.
The kids had a lot of fun.

The teachers and the principles were there...
So the kids and the adults all got to meet each other.
The whole family was able to get in for free also!
Best part of the night!!

Weird Earthly Happenings...

We had an earthquake today!
It wasn't centered here...but we sure felt it! Happens about once every 10 years or so... I'm gonna mark the calendar now....

We are under a tornado warning for the 3rd time in 2 weeks...
We are havin a really bad storm right now... Computers are shut down...thank goodness for my BlackBerry...

Enough geological excitement for me today... I'm gonna sleep through the rest of this storm... We lost tv bout an hour ago anyways...

Sleeping problems...

Summer time has brought around sleeping problems...

I get that it is so not cool to have to go to bed when it is still light outside...but really...

my kids cant stay up till 11pm either... or can they????

We have had quite a problem getting the kids to sleep... more than usual...

it seems to rotate between kids right now too....

Tonight I had the Little Lady and F in bed with me... dh came home and then they went to bed...

Apparantly I dont have what it takes to put kids to bed...unless it is my own!

We have also had a problem with the kids waking up early...

I remember being a kid and just wanting to sleep... nothing has changed as an adult...but still... why dont they want to sleep in the morning????

so... we have kids late up at night... up early in the morning... all equals cranky kids.

They are getting a lot of exercise and such in the pool and at school and such... I mean it is tiring me out! *laughs*

Oh well... we need to find the magic bedtime again... gotta begin getting our boys in a routine for school this fall... they wont get naps or anything in K5... so they need to be able to wake up early, stay up all day, do homework at night, and then go to bed at a reasonable hour.

Hoping after our two summer birthdays, things will begin to get better and the kids will begin to sleep again...

Monday Mommy Fail

There should be pictures of my boys' tee-ball games here.

Instead, I had to be in class...

So, I missed both of their games.

They were disappointed when they finally came and got me...

They wanted to tell me about their games...but they were too tired...

So, I'm gonna hear about it tomorrow.

Not a huge deal maybe...but guess to me it is...

I just feel like I am failing at this mom job...while succeeding at others...

Yes... I want my cake and I want to eat it also.

Happy Father's Day!!!!

Today we celebrated Father's Day!

Kids went into the pool at 8am...

Got out briefly to take dad to brunch...

Then right back into the pool!

They did take another break for dinner...

little F fell asleep...

and then N and I took the two boys and the Little Lady back into the pool till bed time!

Daddy had fun today with his kids and grandkids...and with his new game!

We bought him Cabela's huntin for the wii...

of course even the kids like playing it!

Hope all the Daddy's out there had a great day!

Just a swimming...

Blogger is Buggin me!!!!

Anyways...

Saturday was an awesome day!!!!

Beautiful weather to spend the day in the pool!!!

K all suited up and ready to go!

The Little Lady wants in also!

E in mid-flight on his way to the water!

After all this swimming... momma was NOT gonna cook... so we ordered pizza...

The kids' favorite delivery guy showed up.

E ran up, gave him a hug, and told him that he loved him...

Guess I need to cook more often!

*laughs*

Fav Foto Friday (6.18.10)

Happy Friday!!!!

With Sunday being Father's Day...

I thought I would post one of my favorite pics of my dh.

This was 4 years ago...

In Guatemala...

On our last visit with K who was 10 months old...

It was our first time having all three boys together...

This was the beginning few days of the world cup...

Big K and little K both got the flag of Argentina painted on their faces.

Little things that matter...

Wore a new suit to work today.

I liked it... dh didnt.

I got three compliments on it.

I'm glad about that....

See, all this office stuff is completely new to me...

Before the injury, I'd roll out of bed... throw something on... get to work,

put coveralls on, work and get nasty as all heck...and then throw "acceptable" clothes back on.

Acceptable was/is usually a tee-shirt and a pair of jeans...

shoes/socks are always optional.

Nowadays though... getting dressed means... well being dressed up.

I work in an office that requires suits.

Suits that one can wear to court if need be.

Complete with shoes and socks.

It has and will take some time to get used to.

It will also take some time to get used to being treated differently....

I'm no longer accepted by "blue collar folks" and I'm not accepted by "white collar folks"

Guess I need to join the "Grey Collar Folks"

and...

In other news today...

We finally have a NEW radio in our van!!!!!

I have spent a week driving around with kids and husband with. no. radio.

uggggg.

Seriously.

It was not fun.

now... I H.A.T.E. the radio station that my husband listens to...

but, bring it on over having to hear all 4 kids whine on my way to work and on the way home from work and on the way here and there and everywhere!

Now... ahhhh..... I can turn up the radio again...

We have also moved up in the world since we can plug my ipod into it!

Now I can listen to Conway Twitty whenever the mood hits!!!!!

Of course.... it will now be a battle between Conway and Spongebob....

I'm betting on the hair!

Wordless Wednesday

Taking a breather...

So... I am halfway on vacation....

Two oldest boys went to their grandparent's house today!!!

They are up north having fun...

And the younger kids are home having fun...

It sure makes a difference only having two kids as opposed to four!

It is almost a vacation!

Also hugely excited!!!

First Tee-Ball Practice!

Today began our journey into the sporting world.

I'm not sure if any of us enjoyed it...

I know when I was younger I LOVED sports!!!!

I began baseball and soccer when I was 4... I played through high school...

If my back wasnt ruined I would still be playing...

I was playing until I got hurt...

My kids...

Well...

Uh...

I'm not sure they want to play baseball...

They didnt want to keep their mits on...

They didnt want to have to run bases...

They didnt want to have to swing the bat...

Kinda all the requirements of playing baseball...

But...Monday is their first game...

We will see if day 2 brings us happier kids!

Of course, I did take pics...

E and K didnt want to have to move for the ball...

K kinda trapped the ball...

then throwing to first...

E waiting for the ball...

and throwing to first...

K at bat... and yes.. it was coach pitch...and he hit!

E at bat!

Look at that form...

The swing after this, E also hit!

He hit his dad right in the head!!!

E running...

and this is why he runs into things...

He is running to third while watching something else...

The Little Lady making dirt angels on the field...

She was more interested in playing than the boys were!

Sorry no pics of F today...

It was NOT a good picture day for him...

He is upset he doesnt get to play...

Our church league requires Kindergarten and up...

Maybe he will have a fire in him for next year though!

Monday has to be bettter!!!
