June Backblog #3

This may not stay up for long. I was a bit hesitant to post this but it turned out so cute, er, cool. I made this and framed it for our Stars fanatic Dad. Adam really liked it and it was fun to get to do this sort of thing again. I haven't really gotten to since I 've had the kids. You'd think now is perfect timing. Maybe when Cam starts school.

So we drug out all of our Stars stuff- which isn't a lot so we did the best we could- to make the player pictures for Adam's spread.














Out of order but for the sake of the post, moving on. I was playing with my camera and I had fun with this feature. Need a faster camera so bad.














Kei was less than cooperative for the shoot. He DID NOT want to hold the stuff or for sure wear that stupid hat.














He's pouting because I wouldn't let him have another chocolate cupcake.














This is the picture I used in the project. I at least got one shot of him smiling and I'm pretty sure it's because I'm jumping around like an ape.


















Isabelle-a.k.a Izzy or IzzyBell, got to come and play with us some this summer too! It was fun and I think she liked it too? Whatcha think Mrs. Laura? lol














Kei loved having his friend come and play. He was a bit rough- we're used to the man hugs around here.














Oh, this. I could not decide if I wanted this pic or the one I used. Cam's explanation of his expression, "This is my hockey player face" made it hard to choose. Hey, I think he's got a bit of a Zuby face goin on myself.




































Yeah, see? Not HAPPY. At ALL.














And because I loved my Mother's Day questionnaire I did it for Adam too.

1. What's your dad's name? Adam
2. What does he do? He goes to work and helps his friends.
3. How old is he? I don't know...15?
4. What does mommy call him? Adam
5. What is his favorite color? He likes blue and yellow at work, but he really likes black like me. He really likes rainbow.
6. What is his favorite food? He likes apples and peas and carrots too.
7. What is his favorite movie? He likes Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Up and he likes
daddy's show. (Mythbusters)
8. How many brothers and sisters does he have? Um...He has a lot!
9. Where does he like to take you for fun? The park and fishing.
10. What would you like to tell your daddy for Father's day? I love you and I like your hugs!

It is just amazing to me the things they notice. Like the fact that he wears blue and yellow to best buy or that he helps people there. I can't wait to do this with Kei! Well, yes I can.

I'm so behind, but at least still working on it. Hugs to you all!!!

May (Backblog #2)

This was, as some of you know, Kay's senior year! She's actually headed off to UNT (University of North Texas) in just a couple of weeks. So I decided to post a couple of Pictures of her senior prom. I thought she looked absolutely gorgeous. I even got to do her makeup!



























We have a friend that Cam just adores and he has quite a few tattoos. So instead of going bonkers every time Cam sharpied himself to blackness I decided to let him use his WASHABLE paints...hmmmm...he hasn't tattooed himself since. Must not be as much fun when you are allowed to do it.







Yes, that is Kei playing World of Warcraft. He logged in all by himself. His daddy was so proud.

Mother's Day

Okay for backblog #1 I'm telling you about the most wonderful Mother's Day I've had yet!
It's full of action, adventure, romance and food. Haha. Seriously, it was a crazy day. I was woken up by Cam with some orange juice and Adam followed with an omelet I doubt I could forget! Forget any kind of presents because breakfast in bed is the absolute best! Adam took care of the daily chores while I enjoyed the kids and I made me and Aunt Vikki shrimp and asparagus risotto for dinner. I also decided to make a Sopapilla cheesecake for desert to share with my mom for her mother's day gift. I decided to go outside and play with the boys while it baked and the most random thing happened. A squirrel fell out of the tree and landed on ME!!! It scratched down my chest and that kind of hurt but more than anything it scared the life out of me! Of course the kids are laughing hysterically and what could I do but laugh? What are the odds of that happening?! So we come in and Adam had bought me the most amazing chocolate cupcake EVER! Seriously, EVER! I'm still trying to crack that recipe and when I do I'll let you know.
I of course recieved all the cute school crafts that I'll miss this year since we aren't putting the boys in school and I really couldn't handle working there either. One of the things I got was a Mother's Day Questionaire. It was so cute!!

1. What is your Mom's name? Effie
2. What does she do? pushes me on the swingset
3. How old is she? 5
4. What does daddy call her? Effie
5. What is her favorite color? Grey
6. What is her favorite food? Carrots and pickles
7. What is her favorite movie? Little Bear
8. How many brothers and sisters does she have? 3
9. Where does she like to take you for fun? Kid's Station
10. What message do you want to send her for Mother's Day? I love you!

Okay, I have to give it to him he did pretty good on a bit of it, but grey? Really? I could even see where he'd think Little Bear was my favorite given it was all we used to watch. The only reason I can think of the carrots and pickles answer coming from anywhere is possibly I over act eating my veggies to entice the wee monsters to eat theirs. Who knows? I love that I'm only 5 too. Hey, 5 is older than 3. I did the same thing for Adam on Father's day.
