Monumental occasion!

For anyone who has kids in diapers knows that the day your house becomes 100% diaper free is a day like no other... it truly deserves it's own national holiday. However, in my family's case I'll settle for a little underwear dance party. Oh yeah, that's how we roll. Only it's not so pretty with the big guy and me so we'll just leave that to the cute buns trio.

Seriously though, when we threw away the last and final wadded up diaper that happen to have found itself a nice quiet home behind the twiners bedroom door - don't worry, the diaper was bone dry just like all the other ones for about the last month - I decided (in my head) it would be an awesome thing to light a match and watch it burn, baby burn! But, thankfully that convo only happened in my head and so our neighbors were spared of any trash can fire that might have erupted in front of our house.

So, there you have it folks... my so called "babies" are turning 4 in just a couple of months and I'm diaper free... WOW! Next thing you know these kiddos are gonna want to go to something called a 'preschool'... ummmm, yeah, I don't think so... when you are the last baby/kid in this house I refuse to let you grow up. Sorry B+B, but even when you turn 14 I will most likely still be referring to you as "the babies"... sad, but true!

And just for the record, the answer to your internal question/comment is that we have been blessed with 3 lovely, beautiful little stinkers that nearly ripped my heart out trying to get here and we are not in a place now (or in the near future) to "pay" to get more here again... if you know what I mean. So, at this point I'm banking on a miracle if we were to be blessed with any more. There you have... your personal access to my world of TMI! Enjoy your stay!

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

A fish called Sam!!

It's sort of a given when you live in this desert land that your kids have to go through this right of passage called city league swim team. And I gotta say... BRING IT ON! Growing up I always wanted to be on a swim team, nevermind that my strokes often look like someone is having a seizure in the water, but none the less I wished I had tried. Well, you better believe that this mama is living vicariously through her kids when it comes to swim. Sweating palms. Nervous stomach. Pacing back and forth... this is usually how you can find me and Scott on the sidelines. I LOVE IT!! She was pretty good last year for her first year, and this year she really did even BETTER...bringing home 3 first place ribbons. I actually only ended up bring my camera to one of her meets, shameful, I know. But in my quest to be ever more present in my kids' lives I didn't want to be all camera-crazed, jockeying for the BEST position with all the mom-tographers videoing their super-star athletes. R...

Someone had a birthday...

Albeit almost 6 months ago, but better late than never. Samantha turned 9 years old in January and I cannot believe how big she is. Every once in a while I will catch a glimpse of her and just think to myself...WOW, you are all mine...I get to keep you forever!! I love that she is in our family and it would not be the same without her.
