Family time

We got to babysit baby Carson this past weekend. Brian and Bobbie had a wedding out of town so we go the chance to "love" Carson up all weekend long!!! The girls had a great time with him and he put up with them as much as he could. I actually think my girls wore him out. He is 5 1/2 months old and he slept from 9:30 p.m to 8:15 a.m. What a good little boy. It was really nice to have him around.

Tonight we celebrated my mom's birthday. Rylie kept telling people Grandma was "42" . I think grandma has her brainwashed.........We all know that isn't true!!!! ha.......but maybe I should go along with that......then I would only be 21.........hmmmmmm.

Mom (Mary) had fun sharing her thoughts about each grandchild tonight. These are her thoughts so far:

Mason - Most Stubborn Grandchild

Rylie - Loudest Grandchild

Morgan - Best story teller (little fibber)

Addisyn - Most laugh-able - Something about her just makes you laugh.

Dawson - Most Precious in a Devil-ish kind of way.

Carson - Most adorable - he is just cute mom says.......even with his Lyle Lovett hair!

Miss Independent

Kids......Its funny how they can be so different. Rylie is four and would still let me dress her everyday if I would.....there are some days she begs ME to brush HER teeth......I try and remind her that she is four and can brush her own teeth.......sometimes I give in, cause afterall, she is only four and I want to try and keep her "little" as long as I can.............Then there is Addisyn.......she is two.....but do you think I can do ANYTHING for her????? No......."I do it, mom, I do it" Talk about independent..........She has to put her own coat on, her own shoes on, her own clothes on......and if I even thought about trying to help her brush her teeth.......well, I am certain I would get a stirn look from my Miss Independent. I love them both.....in their own unique way......

Life is to short

I received an e-mail the other day and thought it hit home. Just wanted to share the words, not sure who the author is:

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and its harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing by too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Fireball

Short Story: We enjoyed our labor weekend by going camping in Arco this year. (yes.........all the way to arco). We also got to celebrate Mason's 6th Birthday while we were there. The kids had a great time and got to hit the pinata and the whole nine yards........It was fun to watch........After Rylie got her candy picked up and put in her little baggie she came over to me and wanted to eat a "fireball". I said Rylie you won't like that, its really hot. She said "Ok mom, I'll just wait until later on when it cools down."

So simple. Thanks for the chuckle Ry Ry........
