Eat it or plant it?

When mommies away . . .haha

yeah thats an onion. I bought a few onions the week before I went to Asheville...so around February 5th. I come home and say "EW the fridge stinks and whats in the pantry?" Clint said "I don't know, I didn't look." Ok CLINT WHAT DID YOU FEED THE BOY CHILD?

Well I did look and this is ONE of the things I found, along with a half cut onion in a Ziploc (BAD) and some slimy broccoli as well as some celery (double ew) Just wanna say that everything has been cleaned and all the funk is out of the kitchen. *Thanks Mason for all the help*

Circus Act 3- whatever (end of the show)

Okay so no more individual clips....I added the entire rest of the circus in this one montage. IT TOOK TILL 5 AM for it to upload on ONETRUEMEDIA!! lol. Well at least thats when I got up and cut the computer off. So after this there should be NO more Circus posts. (so quit complaining D!) I have to remind you all that even though I love my readers (esp the ones that email me and say glad your back posting agin) but to those who are like nuff with the circus...we DON'T get the priviledge of taking our kids to do stuff like this hardly EVER. (esp. in these seats) and this blog is meant for them to look back and US to say awwwww.....in a few years...so suck it mmmk? lol

Ok about 20 seconds into the video you hear Mason say "Is this really happening?" The first half of the circus he thought we were at the movies. He was like mommy "REALLY? IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?" So cute and I caught it on video. You can hear some of our conversations throughout the videos very sweet. EVEN while talking about those girls and their not so nice close. ew.... Terri was just sitting there with her jaw open. in shock not knowing what to do.....

**Our seats in the Time Warner Arena (check em out) were in section 105 row M seats-10, 11, 12, & 13.**

So yeah if I was a kid I would be overwhelmed too.

Here are a few snapshots of the rest of the trip....

Mason got a new clown Mason so of course we ALL had to have one!

Daddy deleted his picture. PUNK!

Mason and Daddy by the last act....

(Terri was in almost zzzz land on my lap)

Terri, Jaiden, and Mason waiting for the light rail to go by.
(we did NOT ride it today b/c it was SOOO packed.)
As soon as we got in the car Terri found her "bubbys" hat that paw-paw gave him. Since bubby rode with Jaiden its ALL HERS NOW!!



too cute!

The monster in our yard....

I woke up this morning and found THIS hanging in my front yard!!!!!!


CLINT!!!!!!!!!!!!

My little bucket baby!

Just visualize walking out of your house and seeing this...

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com

Where do these kids get these faces from?

OH THATS WHERE! (::snickering::)

I go through my picasa albums and have to LOOK to find pictures where our children aren't making ridiculous (but SO adorable) faces! BUT the other day Mason snapped this one of me. hmmm..guess I know where they got it from huh? OR maybe it was from...

My little Guitar Hero

Daddy and Terri snuck off this afternoon to his friends house...an hour later this is the picture I get sent to me. :o) Tee hEEE

Daddy Daycare volume 2

I ran out to the grocery store while the kids napped. I come home to find 3 kids awake and one daddy asleep. :-( poor sleepy (kidney stone having) daddy.

Terri Jade and Mason were both in TERRIS CRIB (daddys orders) and Kristopher was sitting down "reading". I'm just lucky our kids like to watch movies and don't play with matches. JOKING...BUT NOT REALLY! ;-)

No More Daddy Daycare Over Here!

I asked Clint if he could so kindly watch his daughter for a few minute so I could "work in the back yard".

In other much less glamorous words....pick up dog poop. :-)

After only two or three minutes I hear one of his mowers crank up. hmmm...."WHY would he be starting the mower if he's watching Terri?" . . .

I walk around the house to find ....this......

TALK ABOUT FREAKING OUT!!!!!!

Now Clint will occasionally ride Terri around the yard on the four wheeler...but the LAWN MOWER????? NOT HAPPENING! He only made one tiny little cut before I walked around the house and he said,"I don't think this is safe, do you?" UMMM NO!

Mason had the camera in his hand (b/c he was taking pictures of our dogs...)

I HAD to capture this weeks random bit of stupidity on film!

On a much lighter note, Mason took some great pictures of the dogs!

Louie Deuce

Vacation DONE!

I waited an extra day to post....a day to soak in the madness. Our kids went CRAZY when they woke up to find mommy and daddy home. I had two leeches stuck to me most of the day.

I'm so thankful for the (short) vacation that Clint and myself got to spend together. Even though we went to bed early each night and acted like 50 year olds instead of 25 year olds. Its amazing what waking up to the sunrise, walking on the beach, and going out to eat will do for a man and woman. Kinda like a marriage revival. Its so nice to have some alone time.

My husband WOKE ME UP on Friday morning at 6:30. YIKES!! This is the man that will sleep untill 1pm if he has the day off. SO do you want to laugh? Want to see me FIRST THING IN THE MORNING FRESHLY OPENING MY EYES? (*WARNING*) you might be terrified! lol

We went to Garden City, right below Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The weather was soooooo nice. HOT! Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Here are a few picture of me and the hubby. Nothing fancy. Enjoy.

Clint a.k.a. the Shark Whisperer




Tell me why this was so funny. We kept seeing it. (It took about the 3rd or 4th time seeing it to take the plunge and get Clint to "try it on.")

TIME FOR A VACATION!

The last time Clint and myself were ALONE on a vacation was on our honeymoon. THAT didn't even work b.c we (technically) HAD one of kids with us (without knowing). We made a honeymoon baby!! :o)

So we are going today till Sunday night to the beach! I'm so excited and NERVOUS!! We usually leave Mason with my father but due to his severe back pain the past few weeks we can't. SOO we are leaving the kids here at the house with Cari and Lydia (with neighbors watching!!) so that Mommy and Daddy can sneak off for a few days. The girls will take the kids to my inlaws on Saturday and they can stay there that night. Wish us all luck!

THIS IS WHERE WE'LL BE......
This is what we'll be doing.....ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!

Wordless Wednesday-Fake Smiles

My husband informed me today that we'd be...
going to the beach for the long weekend.
(WITHOUT OUR CHILDREN)

SO why can't he REALLLY
SMILE?

I think he does it on purpose!

*(WHEN he sees this he might be a tiny bit upset! SO HUNNNEY, NEXT TIME REALLY SMILE!)*

When no ones watching....

. . .their ALWAYS at their sweetest!!!

Subject One: Daddy and Terri
Subject Two: Mason
Subject Three: Kristopher
Subject Four: Terri Jade


Certainly I'm not the only mommy that crawls around on her floor sneaking up on her babies!?!
I can';t help it. When I see thm doing something cute and the camera is only a reach away!

DO IT! Throw your camera on the multiple pictures setting and go crawling around on the floor. By the time the flash goes off you'll have at least two or three good pictures. :-D

Wordless Wednesday-Daddy And Terri Jade Bonding?

Over video games?

I guess she'll know how to race cars or trucks.
OR WHATEVER he was racing at the time.

How Many Bathing Suits Does One Girl Need?

ALOT. tee hee!

Clint was waiting on a customer the other day and he thought he'd go shopping at a kids store. He said he knew how much I love strawberry shortcake so he had to get it when he saw it.
AWWW HE LOVES ME!!
Because we all know that he doesn't like the red THAT I GAVE OUR DAUGHTER (and son)
Terri Jade (SERIOUSLY) has 20 bathing suits. Time to weed through and start donating.
Just so you know. I HAVEN'T bought one of these suits, I go to a church that has A TON of little girls!!!!! A TON! Mason is in a major minority. There are 6 or 7 girls his age and only 2 boys. :-D rambling.....sorry

Wordless Wednesday (get one for Clint)

Can someone get me one of these stickers to slap on Clints truck ?

I took this picture on the way to Jacksonville. Nanna and myself thought it was HILARIOUS!
[I blanked out the tag.]

Oh me oh my what shall I do?

I like that title! I think its cute! But seriously, my face still hurts! I don't want to take those giant horse pills the doctor prescribed and Ibuprofen just isn't cutting it.

It doesn't help that my boys beat me up last night. While wrestling Clint and Mason drug me onto our bed and right as I was getting up Masons foot landed on my left jaw, then Clint (gigantic) hand followed. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They felt so bad, I didn't tell them that I started to taste blood. eww. I think Clint and Mason both were about to cry with me. :'-(

***********************************

Dear Body of mine,
I was just wondering WHEN you were gonna heal? If there is ANYTHING that I can do to speed up that process feel free to let me know. Oh and by the way, can you tell me why its so hard to open my mouth? ::snickering:: Did the dentist secretly put a screw in there to keep my mouth closed? (probably Clints suggestion.) Oh well. I guess its better than the abscess. Well I'm off to go get the hot water bottle. Hope it helps!

P.S. why is the empty spot in my mouth so tempting for my tongue to drag across it? AND WHY does it feel like raw hamburger meat? Just wondering!

TRUELY yours,
Elizabeth!

WaterHorse-Shopping Saturday!

We all went with my in laws to the Mexican restaurant, shopping, and then me and Mason went to the movies. :-D Mommy and Mason date night.

Today after shopping I got a quick picture or two of Terri in her new blue outfit. ($1.00 and its Talbots!! whoo hoooo)

So tonight we went to see The Water Horse. [We really do loooove the self timer on my camera. We can get all our poses in!]

Here is a flipshow before the movie . . .

**Click picture to view flipshow!!!**

The first picture was my favorite, then THIS ONE (LOL)...a huge gust of wind almost blew me over. I like this one alot too. Well I guess they all are pretty cute huh? Gotta love that self timer.

As far as the movies goes. I'm not telling. I will say that if you have a 5year old little boy, take him. I felt bad that so many people were going into the Golden Compass, b/c Mason really wanted to see that. I just pulled him aside and told him that the man that wrote it is an athesist and in the last movie he kills God. Mason was so against that. He said "mommy tell them people not to wet their kids see it b/c its baaaaadd" awe!

Me and My Mason give WaterHorse FOUR THUMBS UP!

THIS IS WHAT WE THINK OF GOLDEN COMPASS...
