Old but still Fiesty!!!

So when Josh got home we pulled out the clippers and decided it was time to trim betty's beak and nails. When we were done she figured it was time to go on the attack and Josh played along. The kids thought it was the funniest thing and Betty loved it. It was fun to see Betty somewhat back to her old self.

Fun at the Fair.

So on Wednesday I decided to take the kids to the fair. It was a nice sunny day. Perfect. When we first got there we walked around the booths and then got some lunch. After we decided to go ride some rides. Braxton got his pick first and then it was Kennas. I didn;t think they were to harmless until on the hearts swing and watching poor Braxton...my thoughts were wow this is a long ride when is he going to stop. When I started to get a little more nervous I walked towards the guy and the ride I swear went for 2 more minutes of pure nervousness. Finally when it stopped and the kids came walking out Kenna with a big grin and poor Brax with a sad frown all he could say was my tummy hurts and then I saw the throw-up on his shirt. Luckily we were able to clean it up. They then went down the big slide and it was off to the next and last ride. This was a lot shorter in that on this Braxton's stomach wasn't so easy and there was a lot more throw-up. So much I had to take off his shirt and go home for the day. Did I mention Kenna was very proud the rides she chose made braxton sick. Poor guy who had to clean it up. lol

Bug Bites and Big Messes.

So I had to show you all the lovely effects of a but bite on Braxton. If you can't tell he has a nice one on his lip. He also has one on his eye, a cluster of 4 on his rib cage, and one on each arm. We don't know if it's a mosquito bite or if one of the spiders from willard stowed-away in his towel and got a little hungry. Poor guy.

So at work in order to make special order cakes you have to cut down tubs of ice cream and in order to do that we have this thing we call a tub cutter. It's a metal half circle with a razor blade and a thin metal wire. Well, sometimes this wire (or should I say a lot) will break. For some reason it never breaks when I'm able to brace myself, but whenever I'm struggling to pull it through a very frozen tub the darn thing snaps sending me backwards into the cupboard. Before the remodel we would fall on the dipping cabinets. Now we have a nice space for the decorating stuff. Nice for organizing,sucks for cushioning the blow. At first it was only a one shelfer(traci was the first to knock it down though, and boy did I laugh at her not knowing the pain). I have have now upped her and took down two shelves. Kind-a embarrasing-yet funny when people asked how I got the bruise on my arm. They haven't seen the one on my bum and nor will they!

What to do with little boys???

So I know I haven't blogged about easter yet, but I will I promise. So, anyways yesterday Braxton, Kenna, and I were just relaxing and watching a show on TV when Braxton started to choke. That has probably got to be one of the worst feelings. I leaned him forward and he started to throw-up. For anyone who knows me knows that I can handle the blood but throw-up...OH NO!!! I remembering parking my car until Josh got home to clean up the throw-up. Well brax threw up all over my blanket. When I asked what he swallowed he said money. In the little spooge of vomit was a shiny vomit covered nickle. Memories of hearing about Hunter, Amanda's little boy, and his primary childrens visit came rushing back. Totally scary. After cleaning up the mess I put him in the shower. Oh my gosh I swear the night was never going to end. He tried to shave is lip. What a lovely straight line he did get though. Later that night while in the kitchen I told him he couldn't have something and he started jumping up and down throwing a nice temper tantrum and smacked his eye on the corner of the counter top. He now has a small mouse on the side of his eye. Needless to say I think that may have helped in how well he slept last night.LOL! I guess a lot of the comments I get is...He's definitly Josh's. Need I say more.PS. Speaking of which Josh comes home this weekend! Very excited to see him.

Time-Out...but for mommy!

This picture totally fits!
I was just sitting here at the computer looking at everyone's fun blogs enjoying the pictures and stories trying to block out the tattling, screaming, phone ringing, dogs barking, oh did I mention betty yelling, and just wishing I could be in my own little time out sound proof container. I think of that Ikea commercial about the mom who asks who needs time-out and she goes to her room and puts herself in time out. Ya, wish I could do that. This is truly when I wish I was scuba diving. Just being in the bottom of the ocean where really no one can talk or scream-lol. It truly is so peaceful! The scenery is gorgeous. So many wonderous things below. It makes me just think of how truly blessed I am for being able to have the ability to do that and enjoy the creations below. Don't get me wrong I truly am blessed for both of my kids. They definetly keep me hoppin--Easter bunny-easter comming up get it...lol. It also makes me so grateful for Josh who tries to give me that time out time on Sunday(even though it only lasts a few minutes)it's the thought that counts.
