Funny boys...

My boys are so funny, they are always saying the funniest things!  Here are a few of the recent ones...

The other day they were wrestling and I heard Carson say "Tap out!" and then Adam responded back with "No, you tap out!"  I'm certain they learned this from Larry, but it was just so cute/funny hearing it!

Today the boys were fighting and Adam ended up hurt (what's new!).  I asked Carson if he liked getting hurt and if he liked hurting his brother and of course he answered no both times.   I then told them to give each other a hug.  They did and Adam says in the most pathetic voice "Love hurts!"  Ha ha ha!  It was so cute and funny. 

50 days...

I love my husband!

Last night I had a meeting in Salem and on my way home I stopped at TJ Maxx and bought a few t-shirts for my guys (Valentine's gifts and stuff to wear on vacation).  On my way out of the store, I saw this freaky guy trying to get my attention.  Of course, I hightailed it to my car, got in, and locked the door.  He came right up to my window, tapping on it, and trying to talk to me.  I shook my head no and started to back out when Larry called.  I answered the phone and started asking him a question about something else; he stopped me and said "What's wrong?" and I told him about the guy knocking on my window (I told a little lie that I was stopped at a stop light because I didn't want him to know I was shopping for him) and freaking me out.  He asked if I was okay (Honestly, what could he do over the phone?  Excuse me Mr. Freaky Guy, please talk to my husband and don't steal my Blackberry please?  I don't think so!) and I said I was. 

Anyway, now he thinks I need mace/mase (How do you spell that?).  I don't think I do.

BUT, I love him so much!  He could tell something was wrong by my voice!  Reason # 365746132468 why I love that man!

How do you know that you are ready for vacation?

Mobile Monday

So, I thought I would start sharing the photos I take with my cell phone during the week each Monday.  Sometimes I take a lot, sometimes not so much.  I always have my phone with me so this should be easy.  They aren't the greatest quality, but it shares a part of our everyday life.  What I like most about this is that I will be able to look back and see the random things we do.

So, without further adieu....it's all about Adam this past week!

Passports

How many nine and six year olds need passports?

My nine and six year old, that's who!!!

I don't know why, but I find that so odd!
I didn't have one until I was almost 30! 

These are good until January 2015 when

Carson will be 14 and Adam will be 11.

Silly String Spinning

What a weird picture; or what a weird thing my camera did!  The boys were playing outside this afternoon spinning and spraying silly string!

Had to capture one of the rare moments where they are getting along!

Update

This past week was nuts-o!  The boys went back to school and Larry & I both worked six days in a row!  Add in giving up pop, eating better, and Larry giving up chew which made it an even crazier week!  I am completely worn out! 

The only thing that helps me is that I generally spend my Sundays in my jammies relaxing, but also preparing for the upcoming week.  I finish all the laundry and I make all of Carson's lunches to help our morning routine run just a tad bit smoother.

I had a lot of early mornings this past week and during one of them where I was running around in my robe, I saw this out our back window:

It was the most beautiful sunrise and the picture doesn't do it justice.  I even stopped the morning routine to take a picture of it!  LOL!

It was such a crazy week, I'm so glad I have the next two days off to recover.  Oh and to also....do laundry, make lunches, etc. to start the next week off right!

Project

B is for Bahamas

C is for Creative Cruise Countdown

I made a countdown chain to help the boys with understanding how long it is until we leave on our vacation. We can't start using it until January 30th when there will be 50 days left until we set out for sunny Florida and the Bahamas. The chain is long...literally ceiling to floor. I'm trying to come up with a good place to put it.

Chase's 8th Birthday!

We went over to Brad and Ryan's on New Years Day to watch the Rose Bowl and celebrate Chase's 8th Birthday!  The Ducks lost, but we still had yummy food and the boys had ice cream cake!

Do you think we are too old for this?

Probably, but oh well!  LOL!

New Years Eve

What we watched:

Both movies were good, but I think I

enjoyed All About Steve a little more!

What we ate:

Doesn't look like a lot, but for two

people it was more than plenty!
