"momsense"

I love Anita Renfroe and her sense of humor. Her video "momsense" totally sums up my day. I've always said that I should just record myself and push play when I get up in the morning.

Final day of soccer camp

Another soccer camp is over. The weather wasn't the greatest this week, but Joshua and Noah had a blast and learned some new skills.

The sound of silence

Did you figure out the sound in the video clip? It is the sound of silence in my house. It is a very rare thing to happen.

Strangest sound in the house

I am really freaked out right now. Just a few minutes ago I heard the strangest sound in my house and I just had to record it. Watch the video clip and see if you can figure out what it is. I don't think I have EVER heard it before.

Trip to the air museum

We took a trip to Grissom Air Museum the other day. We went with my friend Sally & 3 of her kids plus one extra, Sally's sister and her 2 kids, and my 4 boys. Did you add that up? Yep, 10 kids. 9 boys and 1 girl. 8 of the kids were 6 and under. As we were leaving, the people working in the museum made sure to tell us that we had to leave with as many kids as we brought!

I have never forgotten my kids. Ok, there was that one time when I thought Jon had Matthew after church and he thought I had him, but what better place to leave your child than at church?

Do you know how hard it is to get these boys to stand still for a picture??

Soccer Camp

This week is soccer camp for Joshua and Noah. 9 to 12. Yesterday they were put on teams for the World Cup tournament. Joshua plays for Scotland and Noah plays for China. Hopefully I will get some pictures of camp and put them on here. Joshua LIVES for soccer and can turn anything into a soccer ball. Wadded up socks, water bottle full of rocks. You name it, he will kick it!

Noah lost a tooth!!

Noah lost his first tooth the other day. Of course it was helped out by him falling and hitting it. He was very excited to see that the tooth fairy did come and couldn't wait to show off his dollar to his brothers.

Day At The Zoo

Last week we had to drive down to Lafayette to pick up Joshua's allergy shot serum. While there, we took a drive over to Columbia Park Zoo. It has been greatly improved since I went to college.

I've always told the boys that if they didn't stop acting like monkeys, they'd end up in the zoo
What boy can resist water?
See mom, the goat is getting mommy milk
Boys and their love of snakes!!!
Acting like prarie dogs

Will the real prarie dog please come forward?

With the way they reacted to this chicken, you'd never know we had 50 of them at home

They have two bald eagles at the zoo and a replica of an Eagle's nest. Of course, they had to get in it

The painted frogs were a hit as well

What Happens When Mom takes a nap

Sunday afternoon is my nap time. Yesterday when I awoke, this is what I found on my camera. It is no wonder that I spend a lot of my time saying "no" "stop it" and my all time favorite "I'm slowly going insane". Yes, that is a rope hung from the living room ceiling. The ONLY reason I'm remotely going along with it is that I want a new living room ceiling and I'm hoping that these force the situation.

Video of camping and soccer

Portion of Matthew's soccer game. Yes, you can hear me.

Soccer & Camping

Last weekend, Joshua and Matthew played in a soccer tournament. Their teams did not win the tourney, but they had a great time. We decided to camp instead of driving back and forth and some other families camped as well. We camped at Pla-Mor in Bremen and it is a great camp ground. The boys all enjoyed the miniature golf and the swimming pond. Enjoy the pictures of our trip.
