freeze, mister

ok nobody freak out. these are staged pictures of kenny and one of the interpreters.

steve young

we had a guest at our house today, steve young, in the flesh!
he even brought his own sippy cup. how polite of him!
he looks ready to play some football, gettin' hyped for the game, hydrating, slammin some juice. thats the only jersey my kid owns and the only jersey he will own. unless when he is older, like in school, he wants to play sports than he can have his own. but kenny and i dont watch sports, arent into sports, dont care about sports. except my wrestling!! im still looking for wwe clothes for him. wont daddy just hate me for it? haha!
 

more chairs...

i don't have the words...

 

stuck again

first he gets stuck under the chair. then he cries b/c he can't get out. then he tries to chew himself out. i tried to help but he wanted to stand up and that wasn't possible. he got himself out! whatta big boy!
 

fell asleep

so he was watching cartoons, next thing i know, he's out! man this kid can snore, haha! fyi...he got in that glider all by himself.


 

chocoloate cake

give him a piece of chocolate cake and what happens? he shoves it in his mouth! he grabbed it with both hands and put as much in his mouth as possible. i think dana counted 4 crumbs on the floor. haha! neatest thing i ever saw him eat. 

feetie jammies

be jealous, be very jealous. i have feetie pajamas! of course they make me look like a moose but they are comfy and warm. and they also have a drop seat in the back. told ya you'd be jealous. hehe! 

little drummer boy

my son, the drummer. think he will make it big? i don't know how happy the rest of the band would be if he kept falling asleep on the job...notice how he never let go of the drum or the sticks? maybe that kind of dedication will count for something. he just tuckered out mid-session. one minute, the steady beating pulse of the drums, the next...silence. man, he's cute! 

my 4 boys...

my friend, dana, has been moving this past week and i took her boys friday night overnight so she could get some work done. we watched 'over the hedge.' it was so funny! i would recommend it to anyone with or without kids. on the way back to my house is lonely, in-the-sticks copenhagen, the 3 youngest kids fell asleep in the backseat. i had to take a pic b/c it was so darn cute! trevor is on the left, my little brat in the middle, and tucker is on the right. later on that night we got a surprise visit from 'the headless horseman.' but it think it was him as a kid. he was wearing a t-shirt that says 'i recycled my homework to save the environment.' haha! nice shirt, dana. that was her oldest, trent. lucky for us he was friendly as a child. very helpful too. trent washed their plates after dinner (good thing my water is free). trevor opened the door for me so i could take out the trash (took too long geting his shoes on to help carry it). tucker was just tucker. cute, willful and thinks he makes his own rules. that's the baby for you. although he is very proud of the fact that he is big brother to little kenny. he loves being a big brother. it's pretty cute. all in all it was a fun night. dana has done a great job raising these boys almost completely by herself. they are so good and beautiful and loving. and they adore baby kenny. i couldnt ask for more... 

halloween

for halloween this year i went as a dead punk rocker...or i could have been a female member of KISS. this first pic is of my friend, michelle, and some guy named jeffery that i had never met before.
as you can see by my costume i was trying to "camouflage" my fat...haha! no i was wearing camo to keep my husband close to me. i'm also wearing our dogtags. i have them on the same chain. our son will get them one day.
the party was at my friends, stacey and bobby's, house. a bunch of people showed up that i havent seen in YEARS! it was nice to see them and to be seen. its unfortunate that it has to be a party for me to spend time with these people, but i'm a happy and fulfilled mommy and wife. i dont have the time or the desire to be partying all the time like they do. i see this group maybe twice a year. thats enough for me!
take these pics of me with a grain of salt. they arent meant to be offensive, but to show a fun, childish adult side of me. dressing up is fun. i had a good time. and my friends still love me even thought we never see each other any more...lol.
oh and dont freak out, dani. the arm tatoos are fake!
love to my families

 

feeding himself

for all of you who say i dont let my kid feed himself b/c i dont want the mess...you're right! i hate the mess, but i found out today that if i let him feed himself and just clean afterwards i can actually sit down and relax for like an entire hour!! the first pics are of him in his spiderman jammies eating lunch. yes, he was in jammies all day, so was i. but he had a whole banana, some cottage cheese and crackers with his juice/water. i must say he did such a fabulous job feeding himself that i let him feed himself dinner too. boy did he make a mess! he was so dirty i had to throw him in the tub and change his clothes again. and clean the chair, the booster seat and everything else he touched or spilled on. but he was happy! and i got to watch an entire movie with very few interruptions from the little guy. i was so happy. he did so good. i'm so proud of him!


 

garbage truck

oops! forgot to post the cutest picture ever!!! didnt i?
baby loves his new garbage truck!! can you tell??
fyi. the garbage truck is in honor of his daddy!
 

second first birthday

we had a second first birthday party for the lil guy. my friend, dana, brought her boys and my friend, michelle, came with her mom. baby got a garbage truck from miss dana. how funny is that? is says things like 'woah. that stinks!' and '*burp* yummy.' it says some other things too. it's fabulous! the boys got him a firetruck. it's so cute. miss shelly and carol got him a toy organizer. its fabulous! it has 2 shelves of bins and a storage chest. and it matches his bedroom colors! i love it! we had a little cake, too. AND I MADE THE BEST DINNER EVER!!! ok i had a little help, thanks dana and carol. but it rocked totally. it was so great to have my favorite boys and my favorite friends all together with me. i'm not as lonely as i think. we love you, daddy! ps. a little sidenote on the hat. it says 'dont feed the monkeys' on it! thanks shelly.
