My life...


I could go on and on... but I think you get the point... :-)

Life has been a bit slow around here, and I'm not complaining.

Samantha literally tells me everyday how many days she's been in school now... which makes me wonder... does her teacher have some sort of countdown in the classroom (like she is already eagerly awaiting summer) or is Sam really that smart and good with numbers.  I'm going to venture a guess and say it's the former and not the latter, however at this point I wouldn't put anything past Samantha.

Brody's eyes are doing so great.  At the follow up appointment the doctor was VERY pleased with the results and actually shared with me that very rarely do they do this much surgery on one little patient... meaning that Brody had both eyes operated on, both inside and outside muscles of both eyes were cut/repaired and that is not very common.  Sure, now you tell me this doc!!!  But, it was well worth it and he seems to be able to focus on things right in front of him rather than having to look at everything with his head turned to the side.

Brookie, Brookie, Brookie... holy spit-fire.  There is so much crazy, feistiness balled up into that teeny little girl than I have ever seen.  She will fight back with her older sister, no problem, but Brody knows just how to push her buttons and she won't dare try to fight back... he is way too rough with her... it's so sad but I can only imagine this is what my brother and I were like when we were this age.

Scott will be taking his all important nursing test tomorrow... wish him lots of luck!  Unfortunately the one night he needs to get a good nights rest to be at his best, I'm sure he'll be up most the night pacing back and forth with his nose in his medical encyclopedia.  

As for me, well... if I can survive another day I'll consider myself lucky... or at the very least, CRAZY!!

What we've been doing on our Friday nights...

We somehow got roped into a softball team over the summer with almost Scott's entire family as our team (minus a few who were smart to steer clear of the sign up sheet). We actually had a great time playing together and it was fun to do something different; boy were we a bunch of mis-fit toys in wonderland. We had one injury after the other which only reminds us all that we should leave the organized team sports to the next generation - we don't heal as quickly as we used to. Never the less, we did pretty good and were able to stick it out and make it through to the 2nd round of tournament games but then lost miserably and went down in a ball of flames to the tune of 24-4... YIKES! Unfortunately Scott had to work the night we took this photo at our last game... he was there in spirit! Our team captain - or the guy who *made* us do this - is Steve and he is the one kneeling with the goofy "thumbs-up smile" (and yeah, that's me next to the goof ball!) and he is ou...

Tough Mudder

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]
