Too funny

I just had to make a note of this small moment in our everyday life:

I came into bedroom from doing ...something...I can't remember, and told Randy I was going to get in the shower. (He was laying on the bed with Cortland.)

C: So, you've got everything under control?
R: Yeah I am good, go ahead.
C: Are you sure because Jensen is running wild through the house and your falling asleep and you won't hear Cortland if you fall asleep.
R: "I got it don't worry."

(I look over at Cortland and see him sucking on Jensen's pacifier. It is so big that he is practical gagging on it.)

C: You're unfit.

Followed by extreme laughter by both of us....

Random Thoughts Lately

It has been a while since I have had the chance to actually sit down and write. I get sick of typing with one hand when I am holding Cortland. I have had so many mixed emotions lately. I think my hormones are on spaz mode. Every day seems different. I think it also depends on how much sleep I get. If I can sleep for 4 hours in a row it feels like I can conquer the world. It has only happened twice in the last 2 months. Lacey and I have a few theme songs for our life. When we talk on the phone and we are having one of those moments we just start singing it to one another. Hers is "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi and mine is "Living on the Edge" by Aerosmith. It's the moments when are kids are screaming and the world is melting down  around us. Literally my lyrics say it all: 


"Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion
Complication - aggravation
Is getting to you"

Gotta Love it. I have had too many living on the edge moments. Probably because my life has no structure right now. I think when school starts it will be much easier. I won't have to break up fights all day and I may actually get a moment to myself. Hopefully Cort will be on some sort of schedule by then too. My goal is to start exercising also. It is impossible to even go on walks at this point because some one is always screaming or complaining or hungry.Ugh. I think getting some exercise will really help me feel better in mind body and spirit. I have got to figure out something.


Here are some other random thoughts/Questions I have had:
-Why is it when you try on your clothes before you get in the shower they feel OK then when you get out of the shower and put them back on they feel tight?
-How come my legs look skinnier when I haven't shaved them?
-Why do my kids hunt me down, even if I am in the bathroom, to tell me they want a snack when Randy is standing in the kitchen?
-Why is it when you have a little extra money, disaster strikes?
-I am slowly coming to the reality that I don't have it all together like I thought I did.
-I HATE laundry.
-I can't stop being thirsty.
-Although it is so hard, I LOVE being home with my 3 kids and I feel so blessed to not have to work.

Tiger Jay

We had a block party a while back and Jay got his face painted. They had food, games a dunk tank and a home made slip and slide down a big hill! This the only photo I got from Rans' phone.

Sister Shots

Because we never get to see each other, we tried to get a lot of sister pics in. Here are a few of us gals...I don't have any singles of just me or just Lace prob cause we always have a kid attached to our hip!

Hanging Out...

Pool

We took the kids to the Scera pool. It was the perfect day. The kids loved the water but asked for a snack every 2 min. Mom and Gram came along and helped watched the baby. We ate snow cones. Afterwards we picked up some Cafe Rio and lathered each other in aloe.

 *This is a daring photo of us the night after the pool day. A pic you will never see again. All three of us have NO make up on. Yeah, we're hot.

Kiddos

Jay, Abby, Aiken, Ronin, Jents, Eva and Briggs

My friend Megan came to visit from Hawaii and brought her little ones along. It was a house full, but the kids LOVED playing with each other and it was just like old times +kids. :)

Family Fun

We had LOTS of family get togethers while Cass and Lace were in town. Here are some hanging out pictures:

More 4th

The 4th of July

The fourth was a ton of fun. We went over to my cousin Tiffany's house and had a blast. We had a BBQ and the we jumped on the tramp, did the slip and slide, played at the park, went for a bike ride, let off fireworks, rode in cars and had a family water balloon toss. Cass and Lace and the kids flew in that day so we had a rather large group. It was so fun to be with my sisters again. it was a super long day and we crashed and burned at the end of it!
