REE-diculous
DT and Dad went fishing last week and while DT was cleaning the boat the boys were having a blast playing in it. In fact Little H fell down inside and busted his eye, but that didn’t stop him. It wasn’t until he fell in a mud puddle that he started to cry, I mean really. My little […]
A Little Horse Painting
My babies are growing up, yes they are 3, but they will be my babies forever. What I mean is just months ago I would have never had them paint inside, with clothes on, on my coffee table. The paint would have been everywhere. But now they painted and painted and painted. Sure a little […]
Cell phone free tractors
The boys will be happy for days, since we got to go ride on the tractors. Poppy and Pop-po were plowing up their rice fields to prepare for this year’s crop. And of course we took full advantage of the tractor rides. For some reason I find it funny when farmers (aka my dad and grandpa) always […]
Laundry Basket Lockdown
As a mother I will admit that sometimes I need a breather, a chance to take a long bath, or read a good book, or watch a movie of my choosing. Unfortunately for me and most moms, that just doesn’t often happen. So listen up ladies, I’ve invented the best method of child distraction ever. […]
A Tractor Birthday Party
We celebrated the boy’s 3rd birthday last weekend with a tractor themed party. We rented this “train” that you pull behind a lawnmower. Really that’s all they needed, they could have ridden this thing all day, it was a hit. We also had my niece’s bouncy house. and a tractor tire full of corn, and […]
Stuffed Corn Tortillas
In the ideal setting, I like to cook by myself, in the peace and quite of my home, where I can concentrate or even experiment with new recipes at my leisure. But in reality I live with two boys and a busy husband, this doesn’t happen very often. The boys are getting to the age […]
First Hair Cuts….. Finally
The boys finally had their first haircuts. At approximately 2 years and 8 months old, I wasn’t sure this day would ever come. But their hair has been growing and growing and growing, it just, had a slow start that’s all. Lalo (My Mom) manned the scissors and the boys were ready to go with […]
Reality Snaps
Just when I think the boys have out grown getting on top of the kitchen table and tearing everything up. And I might be able to leave the room to start a load of laundry. Reality snaps back to me very quickly. It’s not enough that they found the markers, but they also found my […]
The Chicken Wrangler
New skills are developing on “the farm”. The art of Chicken Wrangling has taken hold in Little H’s heart. His victim, Sally. While she doesn’t seem to mind being held for long periods of time I can’t help but laugh (and be proud) at his enthusiasm. My love of animals has passed down to my […]
The park a true learning experience
*Stop by and Enter to win my Book Giveaway One and the Same.* I took the boys to our local park playground on a beautiful cool sunny day last week, one of very few we’ve had lately. We all needed some sunshine. But as the boys were running and playing, sliding and swinging. A thought […]
