scooter rides, computer wiz, & stealing the camera

Here are a few cute pictures I've taken of the kids this week. They never cease to come up with something new or do something to put a smile on my face!

Austin came in to me whining because he couldn't get his shirt off his head. I started laughing and took a picture. He stopped whining.....

At first I thought the boys got into my Camera but now I see Kent's glasses. I think he's the culprit!

Benjamin getting in a little computer time before church. Austin and Cameron are usually on it. He has started copying everything they do. Isn't his church outfit cute!!

"Yes, mom?"

Benjamin has seen his brothers riding the scooter. He is learning how at the young age of 18 months. He does pretty good. Slow but good!

Kent's new job!!

So I don't have any new pictures but I thought I would update on a couple of things, first of all, Kent got a new job!! Yeah!! He got a job with Country Classic. He will be home nightly most of the time. He will be driving up to Twin Falls, ID to meet a driver from Montana to pick up milk and bring it back to Costco. The best part about it...... after 90 days....FREE INSURANCE. I don't know details but I know we don't have to pay premiums. Awesome!!! He also gets paid more then he did with Knight. Awesome!! And, he'll be home more. Awesome!! I'm way excited about this job and hope he enjoys it. He will be driving at night but he'll be able to sleep in the mornings while I'm at work and the kids are at daycare and school. I really think this is a blessing and an answer to prayers.

For the last few weeks I've been putting in a lot of hours at work. It's been extremely frustrating since I haven't had time to do what I was hired to do. I have been bringing work home for at least a month and it's really hard. I was hired for part time hours for a reason. That's all I could work. I also haven't been compensated other than my hourly pay which is VERY frustrating. I'm trying to be patient and hopefully I can have a talk with my boss soon (If I gather enough guts....confrontation frightens me to death!).

Austin and Cameron had their last soccer game this last Wednesday. It was sad but also a relief. Life gets so busy sometimes. Both boys enjoyed their game and Austin got to be goalie for the first time all season. Austin just got registered for basketball which will start in October. He's pretty excited about that!

That's about all that is going on in our lives right now! Signing out until next time!

A tag about ME!

So this may not be very creative on my part but it's a cute tag....


I am: sometimes TOO nice.

I think: about ways to help people all the time!

I know: that my family is the most important thing to me.

I want: my house to be cute and be able to have the money to make it cute.

I have: the most adorable boys!

I dislike: self absorbed people.

I miss: my old body even though it wasn't too great to begin with. Having three kids kind of made it a lot worse. Also, I really miss being able to see and talk to my little brother whenever I want to.

I fear: conflict and confrontation. Losing the people I love.

I feel: like I'm lucky to be able to be the mother of 3 wonderful boys.

I hear: the computer running and my boys snoring in the other room.

I smell: my Scentsy candle....Home Sweet Home.

I crave: spending time with my whole family....mom, dad, sis, and bro. And of course the hubby and kids.

I cry: at least every other day.

I usually: text people I know a lot. I probably text my hubby at LEAST 15 times a day.

I search: for my kids when they are out playing with their friends. Drives me nuts sometimes.

I wonder: about A LOT of things...

I regret: not keeping a better journal and keeping up with family history.

I love: being a wife and a mother

I care: a lot about my relationships with people and what people really think of me. ( I know I shouldn't care what people think of me, but I do)

I always: make sure I tuck my kids in bed even after they have been in bed for hours.

I worry: that I'll miss something important in my children's lives.

I am not: good at remembering other peoples names.

I remember: that I'm not good at remembering peoples names.

I believe: that anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it.

I dance: not very good. I used to love country dancing though.

I sing: a lot. I love to sing.

I don't always: do my dishes every day.

I argue: only when I absolutely have to. I'm good at just letting it go, keeping quiet and letting it build up.

I write: whenever I get the chance. I love making lists and writing what's on my mind. It's a good stress reliever.

I win: most of the time. :) j/k.

I lose: when playing games with my husband. I think he cheats.

I wish: I was more financially secure and could be in a house.

I listen: very well. I think that's one of my best qualities.

I don't understand: huh? I don't understand. :)

I can usually be found:........with my nose in a book, working on a project, working, or spending time with my kids.

I am scared: that I'll fail.

I need: a haircut and new clothes. Maybe just a makeover would do.

I forget: to return phone calls. A LOT

I am happy: when I'm surrounded by my family and friends.


I TAG: Stacie, Pam, Robyn, Amy, Teri, Julie, Sherry

Ben doing laundry

I was folding some laundry out in my living room today. Ben walks out of the room down the hall and into my room. The next thing I know, he's dragging our dirty laundry over to the washer and trying to throw it in. If only he was a little taller. He did a great job for not being quite 18 months old! Wow, I guess that's good that he's starting early!

Here's video I took as well. I had to capture the moment. Isn't it precious?

Boys having fun

So all my boys (that includes Kent too) were wrestling yesterday. I'm glad I wasn't a part of it. It sometimes gets a little carried away. Anyway, I took this pic of them all climbing on top of Kent. I had to lift Ben up there but he was enjoying every minute of the boys wrestling match! It was nice to see them all having a good time and having good quality time with dad!

I feel pretty

Cameron has always been our little singer. Kent walked into the bathroom the other day while Cameron was taking a shower. He was singing, "I feel pretty". Silly boy. When Kent told me, I laughed histarically. Kent asked if he had been watching the movie, "Anger Management". I said, "no, that's not usually his first choice of movies to watch". Anyways, I thought it was pretty funny. I didn't get it on video. Hopefully next time. He gets a little shy in front of the camera. Here's a clip from Anger Management for your viewing pleasure.
