Blog? I have a Blog?

Oh my...I seem to have forgotten that I had a blog. Life is a whirlwind and I'm just along for the ride these days. Kaylee has started 3rd grade, Jase is in pre-k and Greyson is 2 and growing like a cute little weed. I hope to write more soon! :)

How do people with 3 kids have sex exactly?

So I know this is a great subject here...lol. But I mean really how do people with 3 kids have sex? There are no worries about a 4th here! My husband and I have affectionately named them cock blockers #1,2 and 3 and hey we are throwing my mom in as #4. Because it never fails...when we do find 5 spare minutes somewhere in our days there is a CB lurking. And no mom if we don't answer the home phone or our cell phones we are probably just trying to get it on...we are not all dead. PROMISE.

Tattoo #2 dedicated to my kiddos.

I have been planning on getting a tattoo dedicated to my kids for quite awhile now. Since Josh and I decided that we are satisfied with our family of 5 I decided that now was the perfect time to take the plunge!


This is on my right inner wrist incase you couldn't tell. This picture was taken about an hour after getting the tattoo so it still has some healing to do. The aqua star is for my dear Kaylee Bug who was born in March. The orange star is for my happy boy Jase-a-roo who was born in November. The green star is for my bright eyed Greyson who was born in May. As I mentioned this is my second tattoo. The first was when I was freshly 18 and went to the tattoo parlor and pointed in the book to decide what I wanted. My star tattoo I planned and thought about for quite awhile before getting it done. I told the tattoo artist what I wanted and he sketched it up. One of a kind. So I am all for tattoos when they are meaningful. I think everyone should have at least one...even if it isn't in a visible place. I am the first and only of my brothers and sisters to get a tattoo. I figure if someone has to be the "black sheep" it may as well be me! :0)

It's been awhile...

So life seems to have consumed what little time I have to blog these days. Then I find myself thinking...what should I blog about? Do people really want to hear about my boring days? Well guess what you are gettin it anyway. So there.

I started a "diet" on August 25th and have been religiously using my exercise bike daily for 30-45 minutes usually cycling about 7-10 miles. I have been eating like a frigging bird. The wonderful world of healthy foods for a picky girl like me is no fun at all. I find myself eating the same things over and over and over again. I am so tired of food I wish I didn't need it. So anyway I have lost a total of 13 pounds. It was 14 but somehow I gained a pound last week. I didn't do anything differently which makes it worse. I feel like I should have gone and had a double cheeseburger. Damn you 1 pound. I mean how can you exercise everyday and eat like a bird and still gain a damn pound? I'm a little bitter if you couldn't tell. I am blaming it on Aunt Flo's soon to be visit and hoping like hell I lose this week.

Other than that...Greyson will be 4 months old in 2 days. He really is a good natured baby but sure does not like to sleep. Jase is growing and learning new things everyday. I am busy planning his upcoming 2nd B-day party. Kaylee Elaine is doing well in school. She comes home from school every night and we do her homework and then she is off to do her own thing.

Other than that I have just been busy doing normal Goddess things. Laundry, Poopy diapers, dishes, housework...ya know...the glamorous stuff. Until next time loyal reader(s)...

There's bears in them there woods!

Thought I would share a funny story about my daughter Kaylee and my dad. They were sitting on a neighbor's retaining wall eating peanuts and studying the woods. They even spotted a few deer. Now if you know Kaylee you understand the scope of a 20 minute conversation with her. The girl loves to talk and asks as many questions that she can to feed that growing brain of hers. Here is how the conversation between Grampy and Kaylee went that night...
Kaylee..."Grampy do bears live in these woods?"
Grampy..."Well I imagine that they do Kaylee" (Insert Grampy-like growl.)
Kaylee..."Grampy what do bears eat?"
Grampy..."Little girls." (Insert another Grampy-like growl.)
Kaylee..."Grampy...nu uh. What do they really eat?"
Grampy..."Honey."
Kaylee..."Uhhhh Grampy?"
Grampy..."Yes Kaylee?"
Kaylee..."These peanuts aren't honey roasted are they?"

:) :) :) :)

Been working on this one for awhile.

Well I have been thinking on this for a few days. How to put my sister Dana into words? Hmmmm. Easier said than done. Dana is my older sister. She is older by 8 years if I am doing the math correctly. (Sorry if I made you older than you are sis!) We shared a room and heck even bunk beds at one point. By the time I was a teenager she was away at school and then married and off in other states with her hubby CPV. But looking back at growing up I do have many fond memories and some pretty darn funny ones.



-One of my earliest memories is of lying in my crib and Dana talking to me. Don't ask me how I remember this but I can see it perfectly in my mind.

-Cabbage patch dolls, barbies and tea parties.

-Back yard circus Y'all!!!

-Dana's signature perm. (sorry!)

-I slightly recall a drunk on wine Dana climbing into my top bunk one night and dutch ovening me...HAHA! Yes I went there D.

-Visiting Dana and Chad's beach house in Florida while Chad was in pilot school and our little brother asking where Chad slept.

-How beautiful and happy she looked on her wedding day.

-Many visits home that never lasted long enough.

-Being the most scared to tell her I was pregnant with Kaylee at 18 because I didn't want her to be disappointed in me. Of course it wasn't that way at all!

-Seeing her hold my nephew Grant, then my daughter Kaylee and son Jase.

-Knowing she was pregnant when she came home over Christmas 06 before she could even tell me.

-Seeing the way she absolutely GLOWED during pregnancy.

-Conversations about her chottie being all yotti yotti after childbirth. I reassured her that this wasn't the case.

-Her asking me advice on pregnancy which really meant the world to me.

-Seeing her tiny belly grow and grow through pictures.

-Talking to her on the way to the hospital to have Natalie and wishing I could be there with her.

-Seeing the pictures of my beautiful one and only niece Natalie and my big sis just as proud as could be.

-Being so proud of my sister because childbirth and motherhood is no easy task.

-Watching a couple become a family. (Thanks to THOUSANDS of pictures of the most photographed baby in WA)

-Meeting Natalie for the first time...babies are so precious. Especially NHV and her beautiful blue eyes.

-Seeing Dana be a mother which I am convinced she was born to do.

-Seeing Natalie, Kaylee, Jase and Greyson all in my house together after Greyson was born.

I guess this brings us to present day. Natalie is growing and learning and is such a smart and beautiful little girl. She has personality out the wazoo which is no surprise to me being in this family. It makes me so sad that we can't take the kids to the park together on a nice day...but I know that she feels the same way and maybe someday we will live close enough to do that. Until then her through the year visits that can never last long enough will do. Maybe I will get brave and load my 3 kids on the plane and visit soon. But anyway I have gotten off track. This was a not so little blog about my sister Dana and my niece Natalie. I miss and love you both so much!

In response to my dear sister Dana's post about B's flattened...

On my sister Dana's blog http://mommybrainnw.blogspot.com/ she recently blogged about breast feeding robbing her of her C's. Well Dana, at least your bra isn't the size of your nearly 2 year old! HAHA!

Sorry the picture is of bad quality. I snapped it with my camera phone.

So please don't feel badly my dear sister Dana...at least your bra for your B's flattened could not be used as a parachute in case of an emergency. :)
