I took these pictures of my sister, brother-in-law, and baby back in January and these I think are the best ones.

Engagement pics

This is one of the pictures that I took of Wade and his fiancee Breanna.

The Deals

Ok, is there anyone out there who thinks that spending $55 on 7 shorts, 10 shirts, and 3 sunglasses is NOT a good deal?

What the....!

Ok, so today I decided to take Logan with me while I took Meghann to work. Wouldn't ya know....he threw a hissy! He told me, I mean, he screamed at me...."I DON'T WANT TO GO WITH YOU!" And he continued screaming this out the driveway, down our street, and all the way to the freeway. With me saying in between breaths..."we'll go to lunch, we'll go to Target, we'll have lots of fun!" Then him screaming ...."I DON'T WANT TO GO WITH YOU!!!!!" I'm telling you, I'm starting to get hurt feelings! However, it turns out that he wanted to go to the park with Lexi, Hannah and the other boys to "play with the wheel". I said, "the wheel?", and he said, "yes, the wheel" all sad and dejected with his chin down against his chest. Turns out there's a really fun wheel at the park that he wanted to get his hands on. After we went through the whole "I'm sorry that you don't get to play on the wheel" thing, he was fine! He was the life of the party! At least, he was after he talked me into going to the place I hate most! That's right, MICKEY D's! McDonalds for those that don't know or care for that word. He wanted to go in and play. So, we did! I guess I'm a sucker for those sad eyes and pathetic looks. He played for over an hour and I sat there watching him. At times he would call..."Mom! Mom!" I would look up and wave. But heaven forbid I didn't hear him in that madhouse.....He would scream..."MOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!! MMMMMMMMMOOOOOMMMMM!!!" Then tell me that I need to listen for when he says "Mom!" So that I know he wants me to look! It's only logical, right? Anyway, we enjoyed our day out. We ate, we shopped with AMAZING DEALS, and then came home. Can't get better than that, right? Well, maybe if there wasn't any screaming in the whole scenario....

I guess I'm lucky

So, this week I took my youngest son Parker with me while I drove Meghann to work. We had so much fun! He talked and talked and talked and TALKED! It's funny because not too long ago we were telling him that he was going to be able to stay home with mommy and have me all to himself while the rest of his siblings were going to go to school. Well, he threw the biggest hissy fit ever! I said, "Don't you want to stay home with me and go places with just you and me?" He crossed his little arms and shook his head and said the words that pierced me right to the core....."NO!" . Well, how do you have a comeback for that? LOL Anyway, while we were out on our "date", I talked about how we were going to be able to do this all the time while the kids were in school. Amazingly, he now thinks that it is a GOOD thing that he gets to stay home. I think that I'm going to miss that when all of them are attending school in a year. Its crazy how time flies and all of a sudden your kids are grown. My daughter turned 18 this past week and all I can think is "how did this happen?" I remember her as a baby, a toddler, a kindergartner, an eighth grader, a teenager (boy, do I remember her as a teenager!), and now a graduating senior who is already 18! How CRAZY is that?
