Flying the Kite

For family night we decided to go to wal mart and get a kite. So we spent a whole dollar on this Buzz kite...and how about 10 min of fun till it got stuck. But the kids (and curtis) loved it while it lasted.

Chase and Daddy getting it ready.


Chase trying to throw it in the air to get it started.

and the kite stuck....and it is still up there. a week and a half later.
Also...I finally cleaned my house! Just turned up some music and got to work. Chase helped clean all the toys and Ethan helped clean the Legos...next thing I know we had everything cleaned. And a clean house makes for a happy mommy.


Thanks everyone for your ideas. I thought about having a party but that made me even be more lazy...just thinking about throwing a little get together seemed to make me even more lazy. Thank you!

dirty dirty...just pure lazyness

Man I have been so lazy lately. I tend to try really hard to keep my house picked up...maybe not always vacuumed of moped but picked up. But as you can tell I have failed. Now this lazy spell has just not been going on for a day or a week...try 3 weeks. I feel so gross. I have no desire to do anything!! Curtis had to go out of town last week for work so I thought I would surprise him and have the house all cleaned and perfect when he got home...I got about half way done and just stopped. Instead I painted my bedroom...and again got about half way done and stopped. I am just so lazy lately. I just do not feel like exercising or even feeding my own kids...I do but I just don't feel like it so settle down. So does anyone have any way to help me out of this little phase and get me going again?! Because as much as I hate it I still don't feel like doing anything...


TOYS EVERYWHERE!!! and laundry on the couch that needs to be put away...


Oh the play room. you would think that all the toys would stay in here but as you can tell from all the other pics I have just as many toys out of this room than in it.


more laundry...toys everywhere and that other couch still not put in my bedroom...

I need someone to just come over and kick my bum. Curtis says I will not be able to handle the house looking like this for much longer and I will get out of this little thing I am in and clean again...but I do not know when that will happen....This is kind of an embarrassing post because I hate when people see my house a mess but here I am showing it to everyone...huh...

Friends, Ethan turns ONE!!!, and the ZOO

This first picture is from when Jessica was in town and we all went to Chino Bandito's. It was a crazy time with all of our kids but it was a lot of fun. Then we went back to my house and hung out...but I do not have any pics of that. But it was so great to see Jessica and her beautiful girls. It is so fun to hang out with high school friends again and look at pictures and remember how much fun we had!! oh the days...


Ethan turned ONE!!! He is getting so big and I love it! sad...but I love it. Lets see he weighs 20 pounds (so 20th percentile) and has a big head (80th percentile) and is average in his height. Lets see...he still is not walking (he will around furniture and stand up on his own but still is not walking on his own), and he loves Chase. They are best buddies and it is a lot of fun. Just like Chase besides"dada" his first word was "ball". He loves balls. Well here are some pics from dinner at granny and pops house.

The "Dirtday" Cake that pops made


Looking at his candle...Curtis helped blow it out.
Me and my Two boys!


Ethan's favorite gift...his ball. He held on to it on the way home.

Now here we are at the zoo. It was a great day outside and was nice to spend time as a family. Chase looooved it especially the lions. Thanks to Josh and Poiette for the invite!!

Chase watching the elephants.

Chase "milking" the cow. Water really comes out of those.


Our little family


The boys looking at the turkeys. I was so scared it was going to eat Ethan's fingers...I worry about the stupidest stuff.


And Curtis acting like he was going to throw Chase in the Otter cage. He flipped out..."Mean daddy"
