How Much Is That Luke in the Window. . . .

. . . the one with the big blue eyes? So the other day the boys were outside playing and Luke crawled over to the window and pressed his little face on it as it to say "Hey, can I come too?". I thought it was just so precious and so I had to do a photo op and these are what came out of it!!!! Now that is just ADORABLE!!!

I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home

So, Brian has been gone for a week and a half bow hunting elk. And let me tell you, I am sooooo glad he is coming home today. I am truly sick of being a single Mom. He has been gone this long before, but by adding another kid to the mix, it just makes it that much harder. And add to the fact that I'm ticked because I wanted to go hunting too (but Luke decided he didn't want to take bottles anymore), makes for one cranky Mommy! I know so many Moms have this same complaint--why does my husband get to go do what he wants for a week and I don't ever get to go anywhere for more than 4 hours? Well, as my sister-in-law Sondi would say--"You're the Mom." And most of the time I like being the Mom, but sometimes I wouldn't mind being the Dad either. I guess someday my time will come!!

Amazing Airshow!

On Saturday, we went to the Mountain Home Airshow. It was so fun to see all the military planes and helicopters. The only bad thing is that I forgot to sunscreen my family and so we got a little sunburned. Poor Luke had a beet red face and WHITE body. I am a horrible mother!!! And don't mind the California A's cap on Josh's head, he got it for free at the 4th of July parade. At least it is the right colors, now it just need to have a BIG B (ya know, the Red Sox) on it!!!!

It's SEW easy!!!

Well, today, I again channeled my inner Betty and made pajamas for Luke. I found this dinosaur material (not pictured because Luke had already, shall we say, soiled them, so they needed to be washed) for $5 a yard and thought this would make great PJ's. And so, with some help from Tina(okay A LOT of help and the use of some of her fabric from the infamous "fabric closet"), we made 4 pairs of pajamas. The blue striped ones on the right are my very favorite!!!
