Should I be nervous about this?

Both Noah and Adam have a box in their room where they keep trinkets and other special things. They call them their "special boxes". Honestly I am such an anti-clutter freak that I started these boxes because I had thrown away a lot of things that they really wanted to keep. So, I tell them that I can't tell if it means anything to you unless it is in your special box. So, the other day Adam with digging through his box and playing with things and reminiscing about his special things. He found a self portrait that he had done when he was 3. He pulled it out, examined it carefully, made a disgusted face, and brought it over to me. He says,"Mom, can you throw this picture of me away. I don't want it any more. It makes me look fat."
He hands me this picture and walks back over to his box. Should I be worried??

FINALLY!! Jazz season is upon us

We are sharing season tickets with my parents and 2 sisters this season. It has been fun so far to go to the pre-season games, but last night was truly disheartening. The Jazz played their first home game of the season and got spanked. Hopefully they will do well this year and play Haywood a lot because he is my new BTW and I'm his biggest fan!

GO JAZZ!!!!

C'est La vie

I don't mean to complain....but I absolutely hate when my kids pour an entire bottle of kid shampoo into the bath water. Then it takes 2 days to rinse them off, and 3 more days to rinse out the tub! Am I the only mom that this happens to? Am I the only mom who it bothers? Well, c'est la vie, off the to store to buy some more kid shampoo.

"B" is for bubble bath

I know that he wont appreciate this in 5 years, but these pictures of Seth are so adorable that I had to post them. He absolutely loves the bath and has discovered that he can lay down in the water and it makes everything sound funny. I just can't get enough of this kid...he's so cute!

I think he is part fish

Cheese!

I love the sound of buzzing bees

As a lot of other people did I'm sure we fit in a Bees Game this year! Noah loves the game and the popcorn, Adam loves the popcorn, and Seth is just happy playing with an empty water bottle and sitting on moms lap! Ben likes to tease Steph and the rest of us just had a "swinging" good time! It was the best ending I have ever seen at a baseball game. We were down by 2 at the bottom of the 9th and we get runners on 1st and third. 2 outs, full count, and they hit a homerun! Talk about exciting. You can't write a better ending for baseball!

Out of the blue...Seth turned 2!

I cannot believe it! Seth is 2. There are so many things that we love about Seth. He is really good at never talking back. He is always smiling and laughing. He thinks everything is funny. He has an amazing talent of calming down and melting everyone in the room. He is such an angel. He loves to color, play with trains, watch Thomas cartoons, and he LOVES animals. So, we decided to take him to the zoo for his birthday. We had a lot of family come with us and it turned out to be a great day. Thanks everyone!

Adam looking at the monkeys. They were so vocal singing songs for us all morning. They had every range represented from Soprano to Bass.

Noah chillin' with the penguins. I don't think I have ever seen the penguins at the zoo do anything. But today they were all over the place. Noah thought it was really cool.

The giraffe was licking the tree. I don't know why, but his tongue was about 2 feet long. Adam and Ben were doing their best to impersonate the giraffe.

Baby Suri gave us a show. She is so cute!

We only needed Adam to almost measure up perfectly to the Apes.

Adam picked out a pillow pet for Seth for his birthday. He loves it and I can't get it away from his for even one second. Good idea Adam!
