I Just Can't Stand the Cuteness!!!

By -

Last week the boys watched "Madagascar 3" about a zillion times.  This week they've moved on, but now they're reenacting all the circus tricks whenever they can.  My favorite (no picture, sorry) was when Aiden was pretending to be the tiger that jumps through the little hoop and said VERY dramatically, "Light.... ze hooop.... on FIRE!!!" and then ran across the living room and jumped on the couch.



Sam has been very excited to learn about dinosaurs at school.  Their homework was to find a river rock bigger than his fist but smaller than mine.  I thought they were going to paint them to look like dinosaur eggs, but when I saw the display table, I just had to laugh at what Sam came up with.  He told me over and over again how silly his dinosaur was with all his bumps.



And Cade has discovered his hands!  It's so cute watching him fling his arms around then suddenly stopping them to look at his fingers.
 
 






With Cade's discovery of his hands, he's also discovered that he can DO stuff with them now!  He's still a tad too small for the exersaucer, but he enjoys twirling the toys every now and then.  I can't believe how fast he's growing up!
 




With the "blizzard" that came this weekend we made some SNOW ICE CREAM!  (thank you Pinterest!) And it wasn't half bad!  All it took was 8 cups of snow, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.  The boys stirred it up and it turned into more of a firm milkshake, but a tasty one at that!




And goodness gracious, I just couldn't get enough of watching Rex dress Cade this morning.  It was the most adorable thing ever.
 
 
 
 
 

Sam showed me how he can get himself dressed, as a big boy should!  I think Sam is starting to feel like an older and bigger brother now that he's beginning to realize how helpless babies are.  He's no longer the runt!


All done!  What a handsome boy!
 

I sure love the men in my life!!



And what better way to spend a morning than to rough house with Daddy!  I loved hearing the giggles and karate kid noises.  SO CUTE!!

Some Time Away in Paradise

Rex and I went to Maui, Hawaii together, just the two of us!  It's times like this when we get to see the value of him traveling so much - the plane trip and hotel were completely paid for with points.  Cha-ching!  Rex totally spoiled me too.  The Mariott we stayed in was fit for a king and queen - a humongous tub, fully stocked kitchen, big comfy bed, an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, a tropical paradise of pools and hot tubs and beautiful flowers every where... a girl could get used to this.   We spent the first night and morning cramming in some homework for our scuba-diving certification class.  The next 2 days were spent at the scuba shop and in the ocean, passing off drills and skills needed to not-die.  And good news.  We did not die and completely lost ourselves underwater looking at the beautiful fish and eels and turtles around us.  Okay, just one turtle.  But it was pretty memorable!  I didn...

Mist of Darkness

So now that I have finally caught up with my blogging, I feel that I need to explain where I've been. This blog is mainly for journal purposes, so just ignore this post if it makes you uncomfortable. I've known that I've struggled with depression for five years now. I've been in some dark places in my life with horrible thoughts and temptations, but it's been under control for the most part. I've been "missing" for the past 2 months because I was slowly spiraling downwards without realizing it. True, I never had any suicidal thoughts this last time (maxing out your Zoloft should have SOME kind of effect) but I started losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. Blogging. Creativity. Photography. My family. Sunshine. With the winter, it seemed that everything had turned gray and dead, and not just the plants. My husband kept urging me to do something just for me, but I always felt that I didn't have time, and if I did, that i...

Surrounded by Handsomeness

      We christened the new van by going on TWO road trips this month. The first was to Oklahoma (and I guess, technically, Branson, MO as well) and the next weekend was to Utah to celebrate Rex's sister's wedding! So so so happy for her and her new hubby.  We got our first picture as a family with EVERYONE wearing a suit, well, except me of course. What handsome men surround me!
