hells angel

I don't know where my daughter went.
She disapeared a few weeks ago and has yet to be found.


In place of my darling little girl there is a hellion. She screams and throws tantrums in public places, refuses to nap regularly, says NO all the time and has quite the attitude.
The threat of toys being taken away and time outs don't seem to faze the kid.

I miss my daughter dearly. If you find her please return her home safely.


I would love any suggestions that worked for your kids during this eventful phase. I can't be the only one with a lunatic for a child, right??!

Because I may be ready for a world where the streets run with blood, and zombies rule the night and feast on human flesh. But I refuse to live in a world where I can't garnish.

With the upcoming apocalypse I am going to order some so-called 'Survival Seeds' and plant them, right away. I suggest you all do the same.

Dirty mouth

I find that I cuss more then I really need to in front of my kids and I thought I was a horrible mom for doing so.
But a new finding says that cursing may trigger a fight-or-flight response in the body, leading to a natural increase in pain tolerance.
So when you stub your toe or slam your finger in the car door its ok to cuss!!
Too bad it wont make the annoying person in the car who is driving too slow any less annoying but hey, I will take what I can get.

curse away friends, curse away...

Getting to know YOU

Go visit Mann Land 5 to link up to Getting to know YOU this week!

1. What year did you graduate high school? 2001

2. What part of your body do you neglect the most? Oh jeez...I have a few parts. How about I start with the stomach. Can you say, sit up Lindsey? My legs...no time to shave! My toes are in much needed TLC as well.

3. Beach house or Lake house? I have to say a Lake house would be neat. I have been to the beach a lot and don't get me wrong, its gorgeous there but a lake house would be different. Now I keep going back and forth in my mind...that is my final answer!

4. Mac or PC? I love my PC but I am such a big fan of all things Apple. I do {heart} my iPhone!

5. Did you wear braces? No, I didn't get the opportunity when I was young. I still would benefit from them but I don't want them. Hey, its personality!

6. If you could be one person for a day..living or deceased..who would you be? Audrey Hepburn, while filming Breakfast at Tiffany's.

7. How many times have you moved in your life? 5 times total. 2 when I was a kid and 3 as an adult. But I have always stayed in Oregon.

8. Would you rather cook or clean? Clean! I am a much better cleaner then cook, that's for sure. I have admitted to this here.

I want to hear your answers too!!

7 Stages Of My New Butt

Stage 1 DENIAL

This isn't a new butt. It's the same awesome butt you had the day you got married.

Stage 2 SHOCK

Well, it's technically the same butt, but for some reason it doesn't fit into the pants you wore last year-before you got pregnant. But there's no way your butt could be so drastically altered by having a baby. Could it? OMG!

Stage 3 ANGER

Fine. It's not the same butt. It has curves and divots and new places that sweat. It follows you wherever you go. Stupid, annoying butt and its stupid, annoying cellulite! Is it possible to get a restraining order to prevent it from stalking you?

Stage 4 DEPRESSION

No dice. It turns out you can't get a restraining order against your own body. And if you inquire about it people laugh at you. And that makes you cry. As do the elastic-waist pants you just bought, even though you are nine months postpartum. Those lying liars who said "nine months on, nine months off" must have gotten to keep their original cute butt.

Stage 5 GUILT

You are a grown woman. You know that women should be-and are-more than just hot bodies. You know objectification is cruel. You've read the magazine articles that tell you how awesome you are. You created life. And yet...this butt. IT WON'T GO AWAY.

Stage 6 FEAR

You probably have Flesh Expanding Butt Disease. It's very rare, but if you get FEBD your butt will eventually consume your entire body, preventing you from leading a normal life. There is no cure for this horrible ailment. Best to just go buy a bunch of sweatpants.

Stage 7 ACCEPTANCE

Right. So it isn't that bad, really. Your new butt does come with some nice features. It's easier to close the car door now. Your kids have something to hang on when you're at the grocery store. And your husband likes it. A lot. In fact, your new butt is kind of growing on you...

Get 'em Lila!!

aaahhh ccchhOOO!

Here little brother...

Here is a cold from me to you.Lila came down with a little runny rose. She then wanted to share with her brother because well because that's what good big sisters do. They share. I sure have taught her well!

UGH!!!

moustache fun

tee hee hee

BIG thanks Uncle Micah and Aunt Amy for the moustache fun!

ONE MONTH

At 2:34am yesterday morning my little man turned a month old. As I was nursing him in the middle of the night I sat there looking at how big he has gotten. Starting out at 9lbs he was never really "small" and he sure wasn't going to be petite like Lila. I picture him out weighing her by a year and a half. Boys are supposed to do that, right?

Well anyways, I just sat there staring at him and thinking how much time really does fly by. I mean, a month old already! At a month old he is waking up only once during the night to eat, is really enjoying his baths and does tummy time for 3-4 minutes without getting cranky. He loves to listen to his sister read and sing and I swear he smiled at me the other night. Dare I say he is an incredibly easy baby. Much easier then Lila ever was.

But maybe I just know what I am doing this time around...

sparkly teeth

I have taken Lila to the dentist every 6 months since she was a year old. My thinking was that the earlier she gets introduced to good dental hygiene and the dentist the less likely she would hate going.
I was right! She loves to go to the dentist.
I am the same way {crazy, i know}.

She is such a rockstar.

I had to throw this picture in the mix because I think it's a freakishly scary looking monkey. I mean if you saw this monkey in real life wouldn't you pee your pants?

When life gives you lemons...

EAT THEM!

Wordless Wednesday ::squishy face::

gothic already??

Our drive to Olympia, WA on Sunday was a lot of fun. We celebrated Austin's 5th birthday with our best friends. It was pirated themed and Amy made the cute cupcakes.

She was mad that they looked purple and pink instead of black and red. Well, Amy...the cupcakes sure looked black to me.

What do you all think??

P.S. Lila even had black poop this morning...
