My Crazy Family

What it's been how long since I've written on here?  Weeks?  How can that be.  Well to be truthful I've been busy.  I mean 4 kids, sickness throughout the land, a wedding to look forward to, a daughter that keeps very much on my toes...and lets not talk about the boys right now!  I mean how can anyone think with all this winter going on...the cabin fever setting in.....................................
                                                     I WANT SUMMER!!! 
The sun in my face...the wind in my hair...the bugs attacking my skin...so hott that you may melt and could probably cook an egg on the cement.   Ahhhhh Yes...Summer!

Well enough of that talk.  I must say that I think it's about time for you to meet my attackers.  My stinkers.  My kids who ruined my body with which I'm working very hard to get back (19 pounds y'all!!) (sorry my wanna be southern accent couldn't be contained)

 Now on with the show...

This wonderful creature is my first born.  This one stole my heart the moment I laid eye's on him. This is also the one who first gave me all my stretch marks!  But he is also the one who made me realize that laughter is everything.  He's a great kid.  Full of himself.  A know it all, if your following my drift.  He looks just like his Daddy.  Scary?!?!?!  YES.   I'm not kidding, I'll show you the pictures sometime...not the stretch marks, but of Mike and Mason.

This one....well she's the apple of my eye.  She's my soul.  Her very being is me over and over.  She's our

Tootie girl, our Anna Banana, our cutie pootie; the list could go on and on.    Look at her. Beautiful blue eyes, gorgeous hair, wonderful nails!  I mean seriously, she is a beautiful little girl.  She also has an amazing ability to make anyone smile.  On another note...her teacher says she appreciate her very much, but Anna has a mind of her own and she will do what she wants. (now if we can only get her to use it for the forces of good!) Yes I love my wild spirited Anna!

 Now this one, there are no words.  He reminded me to smile.  Seriously, this one has taken my life away and replaced it with more than I could even describe.  Look at that smile, and those eyes, and that bruise..  How could you not love him at first sight?  He is also the one Mike and I are betting on to go streaking down the middle of the football field showing his school spirit!  GO DUTCH! 
His first word was silly...can you believe that.  Silly!  That's exactly how he is!

And last but not least is this little wee man.  The moment he was born I knew he was special, just like all my kids.  As I type, he is making a cheerio camp under his butt.  He loves making a mess with Cheerios's.  He can't help it, it's what he does.  I can't believe he is almost a year old.

 no one will ever spell your whole  name right.  Get used to it! 


There you have it, my kids!  Yes that is a scary thought!  I hope you've fallen in love with them, almost as much as Mike and I have.  And if you see me walking around with a confused look on my face, it's because I'm wondering why in the world God let me have these kids.  Really what was He thinking?  Sorry world.

I think I have a problem..

I'm just saying this because I think I have a problem.  It's not a serious problem....well maybe it could be.  I am addicted to craft and food blogs.  I have them all over here in my little Crazy Life blog.  But oh the wonderful things I've found.  The sewing projects, the thought of being a knitter and crotchet, the food...the glorious food!  Could there not be anything better!  I have found some of my favorite things on here.  And it all started with The Pioneer Woman.  She started a bad thing in me.  Thanks a lot!  The Pies, the pizza, the thought that Mike would look down right wonderful in a pair of chaps, (sorry Mike!)  I did bring up the idea of packing up everything and become ranchers in Oklahoma.  He didn't think that would be a great idea.  He knows nothing of farming...give him a paint gun and he's the king.  Give him a cow and he'd run the other way.  Not a dis honey....just not a talent of yours...it's okay...I love you just the same!

Side note....we are having a snow day today.  No school=no peace for mommy=no peace for daddy, kind of day.  And my kids are "playing"  the three stooges. Someones going to get hurt.....fast!

Back to my love for blogging and all the blogger's out there!

My newest favorite little spot has just happened today...called:
