Mowing the Snow

This is what happens when your kid gets tired of being cooped up all day and dreams of spring. He goes outside of mows the snow.

Caught me taking pics

His poor lawnmower

Messy Messy RooRoo

Get the camera out of my face

Starting to warm up to the mess

And he is super funny and loves my mess!!!

6 month pics

Our baby girl is growing up very very fast! We took these last month for her 6 month pictures. As you can tell, she is not a ham at all! :)

Silly Rooroo

Mmmm. . .toes

Looking just like daddy

Daddy's favorite

She hates getting dressed up. She is taking after mommy there!

Give me that furry thing that is making me smile

So beautiful when she is happy

Holding herself up

My favorite with her Juicy Couture bloomers

So sweet!

Little Bits

Ahhhh. . .yet again life has gotten very busy for our family, so the blog has gone by the wayside. We are very excited about the orders and have been house hunting in the area we are going to be in. We are taking the big step of buying a house. Scary. Very scary. We feel like now is the time to do it though. Prices are so cheap right now in the area we are going, we would be stupid not too. We found the neighborhood we are most likely going to be in and naturally there is a lake in it. Wonder who was all excited the minute he saw the lake? Our house actually would be on the lake if we do what we want too do. So big daddy could get home from work, grab his pole, and go out the back of our fence to the lake. That is his heaven. Mom was nice enough to go and check out the houses and the neighborhood today and loved it. So that made us feel good. We (myself and the kids) are going to try to be there before Aug so bumps can start school on time. My baby is starting kindergarten!

Bumps is doing good. He has been offically approved to go to kindy next year. Makes me very very sad. They said he was academically ready, but moreso socially ready. I think the latter is the more important of the two when it comes to kindy. He has had croup this week, something we haven't had in a long time around here. It was the 2nd time in his life he ran a fever. He has been having alot of fun going to our neighbors basketball games, which we have been doing alot. And he ever told me how hot the cheerleaders are. . .thank you bumps, I needed to know that. It is amazing how going to a high school basketball game makes you realize how old you really are. But I digress. . .

Rooroo is growing so fast! She is on solids now and loves daddy's creations. She loves her squash and plows through it fairly quickly. She can move alot faster now. She rolls all over the room and takes off after Bumps the minute she sees him. And now she is getting up on all 4's. Scares the poo out of me. I am very anxious to get a picture of her at Disneyworld being so little, in a princess dress, walking towards the castle holding daddys hand. That was a mouthful. And then another one holding brothers hand doing the same thing. It is going to be so much fun!

I will post some new pics this weekend. I am planning on sitting down and making myself do it!!! Bye bye for now!

Momma (and Daddy) we're coming home!

So if the rumor is true, and we have been told it is 99% for sure, we will be ending our days in the great NW at the end of this summer and heading to some place we didn't think was possible. We will now be based 2o min from my mom, 2 hours from my dad, and 4 hours from all of big daddy's extended family. Big daddy has gotten word he will be helping to establish a new flying unit at our new base. This could all change tomorrow knowing our luck, but I would like to think that we are being told the truth since it came from the commander. We have talked about this base, but as a future possibility, not one that we thought could be our next one. Deployments are a possibility, but it is a risk we have to take. And, besides, I don't know if I could go a year without one. It has kind of become a part of life around here. I am so excited to be going to a base that, like the one we are at right now, is right outside of a big city. I had finally become resigned to the fact we were going to be stuck in bfe again when God came through with this blessing. I was even looking for houses at the base we thought we were going too. Now the fun part of going through things and preparing for a new city begins!!! And it is a journey we are more than ready to take!

Best Friends

Why are bumps and R best friends? Could it be that distance does nothing to seperate them? That they beg for webcam time together? And then this is what they do for hours at a time on the webcam? This pic was taken from K's view of the battle. They did this for almost 2 hours the other day. Of course, K had to get her rooroo time also, especially now that she has been tasked with the very trying job of being her Godmother. But as R likes to tell people "his mommy won't let him have a sister like baby rooroo," so they just have to get their fix on the webcam till we get closer again. Vegas won't even provide K with her much needed rooroo time. But it will provide K and I with some much needed drinking and partying time. But back to the boys. There is a good reason both of our houses are going to have 4 bedrooms. The guest bedrooms have already been claimed by the other couple and the boys will be sharing a room. Not that they will ever sleep, but at least they will be together, fighting with lightsabers, at 3am.

Weekend O' Fun

We had the best weekend with W and L at Silver Mt. The rooms are incredible there and the waterpark is always so much fun. We love the fact you can get a drink and float on the lazy river. Friday we spent some family time at the waterpark and then chilled at the hotel that night. Sat we all went down to the waterpark for the day. The boys started drinking as soon as we got there. Naturally, they can't resist PBR in a bucket 5 for 10 dollars. I got rooroo down for her nap at the waterpark and she slept for a couple of hours. After she woke up, I started to drink. I remembered my giant goblet from the last trip and had them fill it up for L and I. That lead to a slight buzz and more drinking when I got back to the room at around 6ish. Big daddy and W were already feeling really good by then. Good enough that big daddy passed out while reading to bumps, just a short nap, but he still passed out.

Sometime around 10 or so I decide that L and I needed to go to the bar. So we walked over to the bar (adequatly named Noahs) and I decided to start doing shots. For those who know me, I don't do shots. I haven't done shots since college. The 2nd shot put both L and I under. I swear it was all vodka, a teeny tiny bit lemon. Then M showed up while W stayed with the sleeping kids (they were supposed to tag team, but I think M had sobered up enough he knew I needed to be watched.) We got home after having a blast singing and dancing and drinking and I attempted to sleep only to realize it wasn't going to happen. Thus hitting the trashcan later on. 1st time in 10 years, so I can't complain. I am allowed 1 drunken night in 10 years. We spent Sunday relaxing needless to say. Big daddy and bumps went tubing and had a great time spending time together and going down the hill. All in all it was a fabulous weekend and we can't wait to go back soon. Maybe eventually even buy a condo there in the future. We will see!

Too much waterpark fun for rooroo

So sweet when she is sleeping

Her hiney made a good holder for my ranch :P

Waterpark pics

And this is where my drinking started and continued until I ended up over a trashcan at 3am

The giant Mai Tai of death (the same goblet that screwed me up with K back in Sept)

Noah and his fiance L, just don't tell W

Mmm, giant green scarf

Oh God, it has started, she is in love with W. Same look she gives Rob Pattison in Twilight and Harry Potter

Pics Cont. . .

Getting ready to hit the Mt in his new bibs

Of course he tells me he wanted to ski, not tube when it is too late, but he looks cute in his goggles

Mommy and rooroo and it was ridiculus cold up there!!!

How cute is bumps???

I think big daddy was trying to warm his lips

Sweet Potatoes

Daddy made it home safely and got to feed rooroo sweet potatoes for the first time when he got home. As you can tell, she wasn't thrilled. It has been almost 2 weeks and she is finally eating them now. I think the spoon is her favorite part of the meal!

Oh.hell.no

Shoving the spoon in on her own

Figuring out it isn't cereal on the other end

Waiting for daddy to feed her

Not to thrilled about the taste

My kids and the Jumparoo

I have pictures of both my kids doing this. I don't know what it is about the seat of the jumparoo, but they go nuts over it. Must be teething, that is what I am going to blame it on, and not that they are still hungry after all the food they eat in a day.

Rock Chalk Baby!

Here are a few pics of Rooroo sporting her favorite teams colors and gear! Bumps used to wear the same outfit when he was a baby, minus the bow. :P And her team won that day too. They must have known Rooroo was wearing her gear!!!

Strike a pose

Realizing I caught her posing

Cute feet

The "I am not amused look"
