Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

I hope they’re always like this:

We’re having a music party in my living room, with the Zune Marketplace playing through the XBox 360. We’ve heard MC Hammer “2 Legit,” “U Can’t Touch This,” and “Have you Seen Her?” (which Caleb told us sounded “girlie”); various versions of “Somebody Farted” (yes, you read that right – you’d be surprised how many […]

Well, it’s been nearly a week since Sam’s first birthday party, and I truly think the only reason I haven’t been flogged for not having a post up about the party is that I have at least posted some pictures on Facebook, and I’ve shared some more through Picasaweb. In short, Sam had a FABULOUS […]

One of Sam’s latest tricks is to walk over to a toy, squat down, and pick it up. We say he’s doing his “baby squats.” The other day, Caleb witnessed this and asked Sam if he was doing his “baby squashes.” We have now renamed these “exercises”  as baby squashes. 🙂  And yes, Lynne, I […]

Just because it’s Friday and you need something to make you smile. Enjoy – 🙂 Wednesday night was burger night at our house. Bryan was prepping the burgers and fixin’s, I was feeding Sam dinner, Caleb was working on his homework at the kitchen table and Jacob was reveling in his no-homework freedom by playing […]

I don’t think this post needs too many words. Life with boys is rough-and-tumble at any age. Enjoy the pictures. 🙂

My boys play baseball (well, not Sam. . . yet). One of the first things you’re taught in baseball – and this is VERY important – is that if you get hit with a ball, you don’t rub it until you get to the dugout. It’s part of the whole tough-guy, never-let-em-see-you-sweat, sports thinking. Today […]

February is apparently North Texas’s time for snow and ice. Last year, we got over a foot of snow just before Valentine’s Day. This year, we had 4 days off work and school because of snow and ice, February 1 through February 4. We had a fun time in it, but after 4 days being […]

Sam was making the rounds last night, telling everyone good night. Bubba gave him a big hug and said, “night-night, Sam. Sleep good.” Daddy gave him hugs and kisses and said he loved him and to sleep well. Caleb, who was still finishing off his very icing-y cookie sandwich dessert, gave him hugs and said […]

Well, y’all, thanks so much for the support from last night’s post. Really and truly, it helped more than you know.  And, since the last two posts have been rather downers (okay, truly downers), to prove I’m not always a negative Nellie, this post will be more fun.
