Side by side

So I am looking for more pictures of Jocelyn when she was a baby to post side by side with Lorilei but Sharon said that she thought Lorilei looked like Jaxon so I was curious and decided to find some of the three of them around the same age. (Run no sentence if I have even seen one) Here they are. I should find some of all of the kids but all of the pictures are on my computer so that will take a lot of time. Mostly because I am too lazy to pull out all of my pictures and scan them.

Let me know what you think and we will take a poll....

whose who

Lorilei started sucking her thumb this week. It cracks me up when she is mad and just kind of dives for it. She looks A LOT like Jocelyn. Her hair is even growing out blond. Everyone thinks that Jax and Joc are twins. Well I think Joc and Lorilei might LOOK like twins that are 2 years apart. You be the judge.

I am going to find more pictures and put them on here. It is weird.

little artists

Skyler got me a chair (that I have wanted for a while) for mothers day and then had the kids paint it. I thought it was the best idea. I am always making things from the kids for my mom and Skyler's mom for mothers day and I do it because I love it. So having him come up with the idea for the kids to do it for me was great. We decided to get another one so we have more than one seat outside so they painted two. I realize that they aren't want most people would like but my kids did it so it means a lot to me. They were excited about it so I felt loved. There were a few paint casualties on the way (like all of their clothes). When they were done painting I put their hand prints on them so I could see how they grow as the years go. I love my chairs but I am sure the neighbors think they are hideous.

chicken anyone?

This bird is.........a pest.


She decided to make a nest...........

In the grill............

One day I looked out side and noticed and bunch of weeds on the deck. I thought it was weird because the kids hadn't been back there all day. I went out to investigate. That is when I noticed all the bird poop. So I looked around some more. Then I noticed the weeds coming out of the grill. So I opened the grill up. Yeah. It made me laugh. So I started going back and forth as to what to do about it. I felt bad ruining her home for her babies so I thought I would leave it, then I realized I wouldn't be able to use the grill for a couple of months. And it was difficult for her to build the nest because everything was falling down in it. So I took some of the weeds off and started the grill up. I then put the bird house right next to the grill hoping she would build it there instead.
No such luck. She just built it in the grill again. Then I thought she was determined and just to leave it. Then I had a craving for teriyaki beef, which must be cooked on the grill. So the startings of her nest got burned again. She then tried again and I burned it again. Every time I would go out there I would wash away the poop and try to make it smell as "human" as possible. She didnt' care. She has finally gotten the hint and as moved on. So I guess I won't be making "chicken" for dinner.

The part that made me mad is that she pulled the plants out of my pot to make her nest.

High Class

I am becoming better about not worrying so much about my kids looking "perfect" all the time. This means that I let them pick out their own clothes. (as long as we aren't going anywhere) So most of the time they look like homeless children. Ironically Ryker tends to be the worst. Weird. Jax does pretty well, he does match brown with brown and orange with orange but at least he is thinking about it. Sometimes they end up like this...........

I was embarassed when cars would drive by but come on...it is funny.
side note: I don't always let her run around with out short/pants this day had to do with potty training and running out of underwear......
Notice Jax....he is wearing boots with his shorts. Pretty sure Reagan was too.....we are high class.
