Oh the things they've said lately.....

Overheard Daniel explaining the process of aging to Jackson:
"You are a man when you have experiences.  I have a few more and then I'll be one." 

Jackson when he heard the garbage truck outside:
"IT'S THE BLUE TRASH CAN BUS!!!!!"  and yes, he shouted this:) 

Until next time:)

Summer break....Day 1

We had family in town so we were excited to spend the day with them galavanting around Hollywood Studios.  We truly did have a great time.   However the weather wasn't completely in our favor, but we made do:) 

 Fun start!  Can't wait to see what's next:) 

Until next time:)

Summer Break!!!!

It is here and I am very excited about this summer!!!!  I will BE with my boys this summer:)  

Besides some time we have planned for vacation I truly don't have a plan for summer.  So here's to a summer full of lots of fun, time together as a family, along with some productivity as we go (after the last few weeks our home needs a bit of TLC).

 I think most of all I want to remember this:

Let the Summer time roll!!


Until next time:)

With Daniel at his Blue and Gold Banquet

I probably have forgotten some things, but all in all a fun spring.  I am ready for that last school bell to ring so I can have my first full summer with my boys!!!

Until next time:)

Oh, the things they say

As we all know children don't always or just flat out don't have a filter for what they say.  My boys are no exception.  Although five years separate them, they can certainly come up with some interesting topics, statements, or just plain matter of fact points.  I'm going to try to log a few in from time to time.  Who knows maybe this will also help me stay a bit more consistent with the blog.  And like always this is truly more of a way for me to "jot down"  the wonderful crazy that each of my boys are:)  If you read it I hope you enjoy and hopefully have a giggle along with me.

Here is the most recent banter from the boys:

Jackson (3) "Wook Cows!!  I don't want to eat dem."  This was on our way to Soccer practice.  Random!

Daniel (8) This is addressed to me at the table during breakfast this week.
D ~"Mom, when you were born did you have slaves?" 
Me ~ "No baby.  Slavery did not exist any more by the time I was born."
D ~ "Oh.  When did it end."
Me ~ "After the Civil War."  (I know I may not be historically accurate, but for my purposes it worked)
D ~ "Oh.  "So you didn't have any slaves?"
Me ~ "No, baby."
D ~ "That's good."
I think he assumes that I was a part of that era.  Oh the perception of age.

Until next time:)

Smiple Joys

The sound of my boys Laughing with each other while they play.  Amazing!!! 

Just thought I'd share. 

Until next time:)

Even though....

I have to say over the past week my boys have been on what one might call a rollercoaster of emotions (particularly the 2 almost 3 year old, go figure).  I took ALOT of deep breaths this past week:)

Through all the crazy, I was reminded how much I really do love those kooky boys.

Be it watching Daniel work on his kite at Cub scouts, Jackson painting on the back porch, the excitement in Daniel's eyes when he completes a new level on a game,  or Jackson with his head tilted just so asking "Wanna pray kendy waand?" translation "Want to play Candy land?".  Of course I love to see them sleep.  I just look at them and they are so beautiful and I think "Wow!"  "I am so blessed."

I love my boys.  I don't always like the crazies, especially the ones from the past week, but it is what it is:)

Until next time
