Rock Star/ Parents

How being a parent is like being a rock star!
(my cousin posted this on instagram and I think it's HILARIOUS!

1. Endless hours on the road with too many people in the vehicle.

2.Your job is to entertain a room full of LOUD, writhing MANIACS.

3. If you do your job well, people will ask when you'll produce more.

4. You ask yourself daily; "Am I tripping? Or did I really just see that?"

5. Your name is always shouted, never spoken,

6. Someone is always pulling at your clothes

7. Grouples follow you to the bathroom. 

Marry me....

The day before Connor told me he was gonna marry me logan made his move. So I sent him to his room...I think for hitting. Then when I can to chat with him about his behavior he melted my heart. "Mom, I like you. I really like you. When I get bigger, Im gonna marry you." explained that I would LOVE to marry him, but I was already married. Then went on to talk about him looking for a girl that was someone he would want to marry. Someone nice, happy.....etc. So he then as good with finding the girl of his dreams. It did not stop there. He wandered where Dad and I would live so he could have this girl meet me. "I'm gonna have her meet you so you 2 can be REALLY GOOD FRIENDS!Then we can come and visit you ALL the time." Then he tucked me in and let me have a little power nap!

Oh my sweet Logan. I will remind you of this one day, and hope that this girl and I will become the best of friends. Because I want to you visit ALL the time! Because I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

call me DOCTOR MOM.

My life as a mom consists of the following....this is what happened in 2 eveings. Needlss to day, My house has not had the attention it needs, and I have been rather tired but STILL stay up late so I can have some ME TIME.

Connor has some infection on his back side cheeks and whatever they are burst and fill hin underwear with....sorry.....blood. I have to put meds on them a couple times a day.

Connor is potty training on top of that.

Logan stepped on glass and his foot bled.

Brayden was climbing over the fence and slipped and his palm got all scraped up.

Connor got hit in the head with a shovel.......and a couple other things.

Dylan threw up 2 times, and had 2 explosive, leaking diarrhea diapers.

Dylan also burned 2 fingers from touching the inside metal part of the tire of one of our vans:(!  Burned and blistered! Poor little man!

STILL...I LOVE EM! They are so STINKIN SWEET TO ME!! 

LOVE

The day he told me he was gonna marry me:)

holding hands

Connor loves holding hands. I have noticed he has pasted this love onto his little brother Dylan. SO SWEET! I catch them holding hands quite often in the car.

Ice Skating on Christmas Eve

Took our kids (ages 1-7) Ice Skating. Nuff said. It was a fun, Funny experience. Kids FLIPPIN and FLOPPIN and directions. Logan never got the glide down, as much as I tried to teach him. He insisted on just running. Connor loved going "super fast".

Logan did not feel safe on the ice with all those maniacs. He took it upon himself to get a helmet. He's lookin good. Tough right? Then he puts on the PINK mittens. He's confident in his masculinity.

our "TEAM PLAYER"

Brayden is a team player 24 hours a day around hear. He will take 5 times longer just to do it with somebody...ANYBODY!! I am amazed at the great lengths he goes to to be WITH PEOPLE at EVERY MOMENT. When cleaning his room or unloading the dishwasher he will patiently teach his younger brothers how to also to these chores so they are involved and won't lose interest and ultimately LEAVE him ALONE.

Today THIS is what I walk out side to.

That's right folks. (take a close look) In an effort to finish his homework, Brayden is running after Connor,
 who is on his scooter, reading aloud a book TO Connor. (I guess he couldn't convince him to come sit on the couch, so he ran with it...literally) Here are a few more shots....
