Mean Mommy

Let me set the scene for you. It's around 10pm and the boys have been asleep for about 45 mins. I hear the fireworks from the church down the street's celebration. I think Corban would love to watch this.

I (thinking I am an awesome Mom) go wake up Corban and take him downstairs.
We go outside and I tell him there is something awesome I want to show him.
He looks at the sky and says (with FAKED emotion)" Wow mom, that's great. Can I back to bed now?"
I tried.

Quinn and Corban just getting some snuggles.

We went swimming one day last week and I tried this on Porter to make sure it fit at 10:00 am. When we left at 1:00 it was still on.

Poor Emmett fell asleep playing and his brothers "gave" him some more toys to play with.

Someone loves his new Bumbo seat.

My baby graduated his first year of pre-school. He can count to 100, write his name and all the letters/numbers and is starting to sound out words. I am beyond proud of that boy!

You never know. . .

I have been blessed in my life to be surrounded by amazing people. I am amazed by some of the women in my ward. Here is one of them Carland Starla. They are currently trying to add to their adorable family and are trying to get the word out. If you know of anyone looking or thinking of placing a child for adoption, feel free to pass the word on. This family is awesome. The love that they have for each other is amazing. I wish they could adopt me! Good luck guys!

Pat on the back

So I am SUPER stoked at my shopping today. I followed the advice found on this web site here. This lady is here in Memphis and is AMAZING. She checks the sales here in town and posts links to coupons. Basically she does the hard work and I reap the benefits. So see the all of this???? FOUR packs of diapers, SIX wipe boxes and TWO refill wipes. ( the super cute boy was free) Guess how much I paid. Just guess.

All of this for $36.00 Go ahead, be amazed. I am.

My little buggers

Conservation with Corban :

Me: You guys (Corban, Porter, Emmett) were supposed to be sleeping. Why did ya'll wake up after only 30 mins?

Corban: I don't know. I don't want my nap anymore.

Me: Where is MY nap?

Corban: You can rest right here on the couch

Me: I have a filling that you (tickling Corban) and you (tickling Porter) and you (tickling Emmett) will all start bugging me as soon as I lay down.

Corban: But Mommy that's not true.

Me: Why not? Are you gonna not bug me on the couch?

Corban: Well, Emmett can't bug you cause he's short and has little arms that can't reach the couch.

Makes sense to me.

It's the Birthday Boy!!

Porter and I had a date for his birthday. One of his favorite things to do is jump on these things at the mall. So here is a recap of our date!

He really gets some air. All the way back to the car be kept saying WEEE and bouncing his hands. I loves this.

Eating some yummy chicken nuggets.

And what birthday isn't complete with out Star Wars? Build-A-Bear has these super cute costumes that he kept screaming "Skywalker!!" at.

Two years already???

Happy Birthday Porter!!

Oh my how the past two years have flown by. I guess that's because Porter keeps me on my toes. So I would like to slow down of a second and tell my sweet boy how much I love him. Porter, here are some reasons why I love you:

you give the best snuggles
you look so darn cute when you do the Funky Monkey
when you try to be "super sneaky"
you growl
you want to be just like you big brother
you have to kiss Emmett good night everynight
when you "squeeze me tight"
whenever I ask you what you want for dinner you yell "TACO!!"
you answer to the name Skywalker
your big blue eyes
your contagious giggle
because God knew I needed you so I could just stop and laugh sometimes
