Random Pictures.....

I have not posted ANY pics of the kiddos in a long time, and I am not really good about keeping my camera with me at all time... there are other moms I know that have several cameras, a little one for their purse, a larger one for bigger events... me, I got a medium sized one... and I still forget it... I even forgot it on Miss. S's birthday excursion to dig for diamonds... bad mother award goes to.....JENERBUG!!!!! just kidding, I may forget somethings, but I am still pretty good, even if I have to pat my own back....and with 3 kiddos, you can NEVER get them to smile at the same time, or have their eyes open all at once, half the time one looks asleep, one looks drunk and one looks hopped up on caffeine.....

OK, so here are a few pics that I thought I would share with ya'll.....

Yes, that is Baby O climbing up a 6 foot ladder all by herself... Mr. D had to change out some bulbs in the can lights and he needed a ladder... he turned his back for like 2 1/2 seconds and up she went.... we did not scream, we did not want to scare her, so he just kept his hands right behind her in case she fell, but he never touched her... she made it all the way to the top.... "sigh"... she CLIMBS EVERYTHING... nothing is sacred, nothing is off limits to her... she is wearing me out... I love her to death, but she is wearing momma out...

Look at that stinky rottin' face ;)... this is her "1st" birthday shirt I made her... sitting pretty in her daddy's lap... what a hard life she has...

Here are Mr. J and Miss. S on the first day of school... they don't look excited in any of their pics... Miss. S looks like she is about to cry, but truthfully they were both really stoked to be going back to school.. Miss. S is in the 3rd grade and she is in the brand spankin' new elementary building .... Mr. J is in 5th grade and this is the 1st year he has to change classes, so it is exciting, at least for a while... Mr. J , thats my little man, looking so grown up... gonna cry a little now *sob* *sob**sob*

I still have a hard time grappling the fact that I have a 5th grader... I remember 5th grade... I was in LOVE with a boy named Timmy Rogers and we wrote notes back and forth but NEVER talked in person, we would not even look at each other in the class...tight rolling my jeans, wearing my pony tail to the side, not like they do now where it looks sophisticated, I am talking side pony tail above my ear sticking straight outta my head...listening to Tiffany and Debbie Gibson, and you can't forget the best THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!!!!.... good times, man, good times...

Here is the backpack that Miss. S just HAD to have... at first we found one on Pottery Barn Teen that was THE ONE, but they were back ordered... we looked online everywhere and then on EBAY we found this brand new with tags GAP lunch box / back pack combo... I paid too much for it and then when we got it she wanted to have her initials put on it, so she paid for it out of her own money... what I like about this one is the lunch box snaps on the front of the backpack, so you don't have to crush her lunch in the bag by trying to stuff it in with all her books and junk... on the front of her back pack is her initials, but bigger... it looks really cute... Mr. J got a back pack too but he is a boy and could care less about showing it off... boys, whatcha gonna do?.....
