My Favorite Sister

Happy Birthday Sandi!

I wish I could have surprised you and flown to Texas, but, well, you know...

I'm sure you had a great time anyway.
I hope you said "Hi" to Buddy Holly for me.
I love you and miss you.
See you on June 24th!

Bubbles Bubbles Everywhere (but not a drop to drink)

He rolled over last night.

I know. He's not even 4 months old yet and already at the top of his class.

We tested to see that it wasn't a freak roll.

He did it three times in a row.

Randomness

OK, so this first thing isn't so random, but...

Happy Birthday Matt! I love you!

I'm trying to be positive about this, because he is in Boise attending a conference, and I am not. Not that I want to be at a boring conference, but I would rather be anywhere than at home with 4 kids who are yelling, fighting, whining, crying, complaining, making messes, etc. etc. etc. (I guess there are only 3 kids doing most of that, the fourth is just crying, pooping, and spiting up). I'm throwing myself a pity party tonight and will probably eat whatever chocolate I can find in the house (which unfortunately isn't enough) while watching Lost.

Back to the randomness:

~I made the call to get our garage door opener fixed. It took all of twenty minutes for the repair guy to replace the gear kit. Why did we wait so long to have this done?

~I had a whole list of random things to ramble about. Now I can't think of another one.

Edited later in the night: Lost was a total disappointment. Rerun. What happened to the entire season straight through with all new episodes? After waiting out the fall season I got a few new episodes I now have to wait until April 24th for a new one?

and

I have no chocolate in the house. How pathetic is that. I seriously had to settle for Betty Crocker frosting left from Archer's birthday cupcakes. Oooh, I just remembered I have some Quik. I could make chocolate milk and toast.

Rachelle was my roommate for two years while we were attending SUU. We had such fun times together. I just ran into her again through this wonderful world of blogging (maybe that should be a Disney special).






1- Favorite pair of shoes right now......My olive green Acorn slippers

2- New years resolution.....See this post

3- Are you listening to music right now? Nope, just my 3 year old daughter watching Dora.

4- If you had 200 dollars to spend on yourself.....I would buy a membership to somewhere with fun fitness classes and hope for immediate results.

5- Favorite place in the city that you live in.....In Pocatello? Ha ha ha ha. Seriously though, Ross Park is fun when it's warmer. But in a couple of weeks it will be the soccer fields watching two of my boys playing, then the baseball fields, then the soccer fields again, then the basketball court, well you get the picture.

6-I just finished reading...Sanditon by Jane Austen (ok, I didn't finish it) moving on to The Giver (again) by Lois Lowry (my turn for book club).

I tag Sandi and Jen (because they haven't updated for a while)
Edit to clarify which Jen. Jen Knee Fur. If you don't know what that means, then you're not the one I meant.

"It's Smiling At Me"

Blurry camera or not, I thought I'd better document the fact that I do indeed have a fourth child. And look at his cute dimple! Thanks for the reminder, Jeny.

Taking No Chances

Archer was a little worried about being pinched on St. Patrick's Night (as he called it). So he came up with this.

Red Headed Step Child

I know, I know, there haven't been any pictures of the baby since he was born. My reasoning is simple...I need a new camera. As soon as that tax return check is in my hand (and don't ask why we didn't do direct deposit, our tax guy didn't assume we had the same bank account and didn't ask), I'm off to buy this. (unless anyone can offer any other suggestions).

Now, which retail establishment will get my patronage?

Happy Birthday, Charlie, Happy Birthday!

I can't believe it's been 5 years. Happy Birthday, Archer Marcher! I love you!

Hap Hap Haparoo!!!

Snoddatoomah

But it was, essentially.

Matt went into the ISU Student Health Center on campus to have them look at a "growth" on his finger (thankfully, not the same finger he had surgery on after the tug-of-war fiasco) and was diagnosed with Pyogenic Granuloma. Basically, his finger suffered trauma of some kind and in the process of healing he kept regenerating cells and they were weaved in and around every which way.

Hmmm, could he have super powers? I wonder if he could grow a new pinkie toe.
