wishing i had $300 to do this. looks fun eh? anyone want to do it with me... and pay for me too?

bored and not feeling good leads to this.... Be funky.com

i'm pretty sure i'll be wasting some more time here.

looky what i found! a whole blog dedicated to artwork based on where the wild things are called Terrible yellow eyes! These are a few of my favs. Check out more here. i love them all but this is perhaps my favorite.

oops forgot this one which i love...

My kids have been going bonkers the past few days. they are driving me nuts following me around the house and destroying things i have just cleaned. it is to hot to play outside for a long amount of time ( says them, not i )

My boys really get along well for the most part but they have been fighting non- stop. Ezra will say something and Eli will say " no" and then they will bicker back and forth until someone eventually gets punched or bitten. sooooooo we decided to take a "break" from every day life and just have fun. we met my mom and friend merilee and went to draper park for the day. Merilee brought her fancy camera and took some great pictures.

the boys admiring mr hippie rockstar up close and personal. Merilees boy Parker was so funny about the guitar. We watched him sneak closer and closer until he was right next to the guitar.



i love this picture of hayden and ez searching for snakes

handsome baby boy


parker and beebye

this picture makes me laugh so hard. abe is not so fond of cold water. every time we would try to put his feet in the stream he would lift them up. silly goose!

We had lots of fun. Thanks merilee for the awesomely amazing pictures!

what's a mom to do? this cute cute boy has been a stinker lately. we went to the children's museum the other day. eli threw at least three full fledged tantrums in the 3 hours we were there. one involved pulling my skirt down, and another involved hitting me in the head twice with a surprisingly hard plastic rhino and elephant. he is right in the midst of the " no i can do it" " no i won't" arms folded, scowling phase. it don't know if ezra was just alot easier or if i've already forgotten but man i'm worn down. good thing he's funny, charming, sweet and clever most the time.

things have been pretty crazy here. my sister was in town for 3 WEEKS and you had better believe that we were living it up...


this is how excited abe was to see jess and the girls

these crazy nuts sure are cute when they get along. funny story, for those who are weak at heart or don't like "potty talk" then look away now!

so lately eli has been into acting like a puppy named " diego" well yesterday ezra and "diego" were playing and wrestling. all of a sudden ezra started screaming and yelling that eli had bite him on the... you guessed it ( or maybe you didn't ) what the??? who bites people on the "you know what"? diego thats who. little stinker, it was even bleeding! james and i were trying not to laugh as we tried to discipline eli and sympathize with ezra. and the worst part was that i could not for the life of me try to talk ezra out of putting a band aid on the wound. is this a normal occurrence for those of you with boys?

we found these sillies reading a book together the other day and we thought it so cute we snapped up a photo. to bad the sweetness lasted all of 2 minutes. i sure do love these crazies!
