Pictures and rambling= 2 things I'm great at!

I apologize for all of the pictures. I find that, daily I am taking tons of pictures with my blackberry and can't help but share them with you. I can't believe how big the boys are getting. Tonight when Parker was stretched out in the bathtub, I couldn't believe he was able to reach both ends :( But, I have to admit..can I admit something? I love that my boys are growing up. I love that they are getting somewhat easier, that Parker understands me when I talk to him. Now, on the other hand, just because Parker understands me doesn't mean that he always does what I tell him to. And, sometimes he just throws himself down. Sometimes, I want to ..."jerk a knot in him" as I heard growing up. I've learned that Parker Jay is strong-willed. He is determined. In everything. I think that's why sometimes we butt heads and he stomps his foot at me, I stomp my foot back at him...and it goes on ...and on. But, when he's tired, sleepy, sick or just cuddly--he com...

Rainboots

Thursday was rainday in Raleigh. It was dark, gloomy, grey. For those of you who read Twilight, the day was like something out of Forks. My rainboots, they're not grey. They are bangin red. Red PAISLEY to be exact. My mom and stepdad George (love that name) got them for me on my birthday this year. They must have known that April showers were on the way. I hate to say this, because I LOVE the sunshine and feel well overdue for some...but....I kindof like the rainy days. And with rainboots on, I can splash in the puddles with Parker Jay and feel like a kid again too. And, sometimes I wear them when it isn't raining. Well, because they are so cute. Mom and George gave me about 10 packs of seeds for my birthday too. I planted them a few weeks ago..in the rain. :0) I'm hoping that the sunflowers and the wild flowers will start to peek out of the ground soon. Flowers, ugh I love 'em. We have this AMAZING back patio porch that is covered and has a ceiling fan and all. We have...

LavitaDulce

Jay and I, plus 2 went to Southpoint (mall) yesterday. It's quite an elaborate place--with places like NORDSTROM, MACY's, and a coffee shop named LavitaDulce. (THE SWEET LIFE)...oh, and let me tell you..their coffee is divine! What a name for a sweet little coffee shop! I loved the cup so much, that I couldn't help but snap a picture of it in the car on the way home. Throughout the mall, there are little bronze children. They are on landings, on bicycles, you name it. Parker saw one and started talking to the little boy. My heart warmed up inside me. He patted the little boy's head and bent down. I whipped out my camera and couldn't resist. His childish wonder, friendliness. So sweet. I wanted to share the picture with you. Also, I came home inspired. After the boys went to bed I tore out all of my fabric pieces, dishtowels from target, and ribbons. I setup my sewing machine on the kitchen table and went to town. I'm really proud of the dishtowels. They are very...

Wednesday Workday

So, my schedule was all bumped up this week, as it has been the last few. I am soOOOoo rotten and used to working the weekends and having a stretch of 4 off every week. This week, I am working Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. ECK> NOT okay!! This past week- on Tuesday, we had an awesome time. **Please see pics below. There's a picture of Jay and Parker Jay at the top of the slide. Jay's face is sooo funny! And, there's a picture of Parker Jay on the ground by a teeny weeny tiny tree. He loves to play hide and seek, you see. And, well...he said "Daddy, count 14" that means count to 14. He ran to hide behind that little tree. How darling is that?! We just laughed and laughed! Seth seemed to have fun too. He laughs a lot at Parker. Parker....he's a cuddler. He loves to try to sneak in our bedroom and sleep with us. And, usually around 8am he sneaks in and we let him stay. He puts his arms around our necks and ugh...so sweet! Seth....he's a cuddler to...

Time Out

So, I think today I took a time out. You know, where you think...this is really MY life. I mean...of course it's my life, it's going on all around me. I'm tired, I'm sleep-deprived, no vacation in I dunno how long. I'm raising 2 boys. Really raising them. I'm making them into people! (Okay, side note...they both have come pre-programmed with many things...things I KNOW I didn't teach them :) But, really...sometimes the severity of it all...whew. It's wild. I mean, it makes me look at my mom differently. I mean, she's still young. Heck, she probably feels the youngest she has in a long time after having no kids in the house. But, I just can't believe that these people..they're my FAMILY. There are so many people who don't really have family. They are my age, still partying it up on the weekends, still living under their parent's roof...still having their car insurance under their parents name. I mean. Who are they, really? I'm fina...
