SUPER baby!

Yesterday Damen was "helping" me fold laundry when he decided it was time for some much needed dress up. This was his superhero disguise; my flesh colored slip, and an eye patch. He thought it was great!


Then he wanted to go for a ride so he climbed into the empty laundry hamper and rocked around in it until he fell out, then did it again.




Kids are such great entertainment!

I'm totally addicted!

Ok, so I went to a party for these vinyl letters that you put up in the house and got totally addicted! I had a party for myself so I could earn free stuff, and to introduce it to my friends too. These two pictures are just the beginning! I love it!!

Happy Birhdays!

So, May is a freakishly busy birthday month for us and we've been absolutely horrible about getting a HAPPY BIRTHDAY out to everyone so here goes:



Happy 35th Birthday Bret!











Happy 25th Birthday to Josh Huff AND to Blake Nelson!











Happy 60th Birthday to my Mommy tomorrow!!

SO much to Celebrate!

Happy Mothers Day to everyone! Being a Mother, Aunt, Grandmother, babysitter, every woman has the opportunity to touch the life of a child for good. So thank you! I wish I could list everyone, other than my dear old mom, who has been an influence for good in my life.
To name a few; Tammy, the best babysitter ever! She taught me how to have fun when caring for children, and how to enjoy them. Sharon Lees, my second in command mommy, she is always a great example of love and compassion. Shellee Lewis, she continues to teach me about the tender joys of being a mother. My grandmothers, they were both so good at spoiling us and loving us, and reminding me where I came from. Tiffany Cheeseman, how much I have learned from her loving example of what a caring mother is. Kelly Lewis, for showing me the importance of patience with children.
Now that I've reached an age in my life where most of my friends and family have children, I have realized how important a good example is to a child. Again, thank you to my friends, sisters( all 11 of them!), grandmothers, mother in law, and of course to my mother for being wonderful examples for me.

Lose WHAT?

So I had a doctors appt the other day and he said that my Triglycerides are sort of high. Ok, whatever that means, I don't really know. He said I should try to lose some weight and to stay away from Carbs, like pasta, rice, potatoes, that sort of thing. Really, I say, does that include cookies, brownies, and cakes? Because that's really where my weakness lies. Of course those things are included. Hmmmm, I thought about it and decided that I could do this, but that Saturday would be my eat what you want day. And I did. Then on Sunday we went to a party, wouldn't it be rude to pass up dessert? Which was great, just an assortment of cookies and brownies, not kidding. I was doing really good today when Dustin got sick, sad I know. He needed orange juice, so I ran to the store at 10pm to get him some and wouldn't you know it, the store also carried Turtle Chex Mix (BTW thanks Lori:) I don't know what it looks like to pass up a good thing so I bought a bag. I actually poured myself a "small" bowl of it and as I walked over to the computer to do this, I licked up a piece out of the bowl, really I couldn't contain myself a second longer!
The doctor asked me before I left if I needed to see a nutritionist, I told him, no, I think I can handle it:)
