A spring break bust!!

First, my apologies go out to Samantha who spent her very first spring break hanging out with her mom and the babes for the entire week and we've got nothing to show for it... well, maybe not 'nothing'.

The upside is that this was her very first spring break so I haven't set the bar too high as far as her expectations go - so I've got some time to make it up to her.

The downside is that her only real memory of spring break will be our daily, and I do mean daily, trips to Sonic for half price drinks & slushies!


This is exactly how I survived the week... knowing there was a large Coke for .75 just waiting for me at 2pm!



And this is how the kids survived... Every time we pulled into the drive through Brody would say 'mama, I want my own'... I kinda sometimes have been known to make them all 3 share one... but never during 1/2 price drink happy hour!



And what spring break would be complete without one - yes ONE - trip to the park that lasted 25 minutes! I know, I know, I'm not the best mom, but it was hot outside and there were some weird kids at the park.

Here are some videos of the  Tough Mudder challenge that Scott took part in (January 2012). So incredibly proud of these guys... I present to you... the Dirty Dads! And here is a FUNNY video I took of the final obstacle...not of the boys, but still so hilarious to watch!

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Brody stories...

Here’s another Brody story for ya... A few weeks ago the kids put in a Wii game to play. Shortly after the game began Samantha calmly walked over to me at my desk and in a super low voice said, ‘umm Mom, Brody just said a bad word’. Mind you we have taught our kids that words like stupid, jerk and shut up are all bad words so I wasn’t sure what to believe or expect. I then said ‘are you sure it was a REAL bad word’...to which she enthusiastically said, ‘oh, I’m definitely SURE this is a bad word’. Well, not wanting to spoil the plot I told her not to tell me and that I will just have him tell me. I called Brody over and with an oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone I just asked Brody what he said while playing the Wii game? In his equally oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone he said [referring to the Wii game] ‘oh, I just told Sam let’s get in there and kick their ass’! I know the boy should have had a bar of soap shoved in his mouth, but really??!! How can you not chuckle...or in my ca...
