Suitcases and water

Apparantly to young boys - it is hillarious to fill a suitcase with water from the sink while mom is cooking dinner!!! I fail to see the humor in the midst of the wave!!! Ahhh the life of boys - what will they think of next - I am afraid to see!

Birthday Parties and lots of running around

Well, today was a day off for me. Noah had a mandatory day off due to his bronchitis, so we took Liam to a birthday party and Chuck E Cheeses and then to swim lessons. We got my glasses fixed at the mall for the 3rd time. Somehow I have short people that love to mess with them and bend them. I know the glasses people thing I am a total clutz!!! As a result of the time off, I will be working tonight on client information. No rest for those who did not file taxes on time!!!!! Oh by the way - Mike is still cutting trees. He is putting in 14 hour days on the tree cutting and should be done either tomorrow or thursday. The good news - he really likes physical labor - it makes him feel like he is truly working - a guy thing I think. Anyway - oh other news. Mike went to a bible study with his older brother Buster last Friday!!!!!!!! As most of you know - this has been 15 years in the making!!!!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!! Buster is very close to accepting the lord if he has not already. He even expressed the feeling that he feels like a stranger to the world!!!! Hello - scripture is everywhere. Mike and I are beside ourselves. It is a great day in the LORD!!!

Love to all!!

Swimming and coughing

Liam went swimming this afternoon. Noah did not go to lessons - brohchiel infection. Bummer - he was looking forward to it. Perhaps Wednesday!!! Girl's night out tonight!!! Woo hoo!!!! I am sad it is to say see ya later to a dear friend. Times fly when you are having fun. Mike is finishing his second day of cutting down trees. Last night he said - well, the day was good and only minimal property damage - are you kidding me!!!! Two shingles - not bad. The trees are off the house and structures, so today and tomorrow are all about getting them down and the stumps ground down. Real work for real men!!! Well, gotta run - I am sure the kids are being really creative while Mommy is busy!

Pictures I spoke of

The boys really do love eachother!

Even holding hands :)

I am trying - really

Ok - I am trying. I am working on consistenct. Mike is cutting down trees for the next few days for some friends he works with, so I am flying somewhat solo. Just trying to keep the small ones alive you know! I am looking forward to a girls night out tomorrow night with some friends! We are actually saying goodbye to a friend who is moving to kansas for a year with her husband, but we hope they get stationed back here when he is done. It has been a couple of months since I was able to do anything with friends, so this will be a wonderful treat. I am currently without a baby sitter due to Mike cutting trees until sun down, so we'll see. I perhaps might find someone at church tonight.

Swim lessons are this week again. The boys love the water, so that is wonderful. Noah has no fear of the water and will just walk in whenever, so we really are hoping he learns some steadfast water safety rules!!

Father's day we are going ot Rockwall, so that should be fun. I have been planning the family trip to San Diego in July! I am so persistant and it takes me forever, but I usually get good deals, it just takes time!! This week I fell into one with the hotel. Praise the Lord - I was getting discouraged when the 1 star hotels were 150 per night. OUCH!!!! Persistance and the Lord's guideance paid off!!!

Well, Liam and Noah just spilled bubbles on my kitchen floor, so I have to go clean up and discipline. At least I can mark cleaning hte floor off of my to do list. Guess who will be cleaning hte floor (Boys)!!!

Talk soon!!!
