This is what I just heard from the other room

The scene: Ty jumping around, hollering, and being generally obnoxious as little boys are.

Justin: "OWE DUDE! Ty knock it off, that's my balls! Dude, STOP. Owe, oh, owe."

Ty: In his sweet little 3 year old voice, 'What's a ball?'

Me: Hysterical laughing.

So, I think the cat has a UTI.

Bummer.

You know what sucks?

When your husband weighs only 4 or 5 pounds more than you. That sucks. After we move I have really got to start working out and watching what I eat again. I know I'll feel a lot better too.

On a good note - we have awesome family dinners every night. I love it. Justin cooks while I take a break from the kids. The kids get some quality Daddy time. Then we all eat together. Justin usually has music on while he's cooking and sometimes we leave it on while we eat. Aubree likes dancing and bouncing to the music. Ty was never into it much, we really had to work to get him to dance. He liked it when he did it, but it was usually just a little arm swing. LOL! That's another thing I love - the differences. They are so awesomely individual. Anyway.... Led Zeppelin was on the other night and we were all rocking out during dinner. These are the moments that I want to remember forever.

I guess my feeling sorry for myself, sucky post ended up pretty awesome.

These are the moments that make it all worth it

Yesterday, my cuties were head banging to Bad Religion. I can't put into words how much fun these little monkeys can be. I love them so much I want to squeeze them till they pop!

Pet tags

Our pets all have their new Minnesota ID tags! It's very exciting. We are meeting with a moving company later today to get an estimate. We may still do the move ourselves, but after paying for the rental truck and gas and hotel, it may not be much more to pay someone to do it. Justin had another job interview this morning. Things are looking good.

Puddles & Slugs

Is there anything more fun than a little girl and a great puddle?

Is there anything more lovable than a boy and a couple of slugs?


Ew, maybe they're not so good for kissing!

Dirty diaper

Aubree is only 15 months old and she is already coming to tell me when she has a poopy diaper! I love it! She is so cute when she walks up to me and has these big serious eyes. She babbles her own little language quietly and pulls at the top of her diaper. Or if she's got overalls on she pats her tummy. She looks so intensely that you just *know* what she's telling you. It's pretty cool. A few times she even brought me a diaper. This is my favorite age.
