Spring has (almost) sprung!

This week we took a little trip to our local duck pond, One of my favorite places to take pictures.

We stayed outside for quite a while.

And it felt Great!!

Spring is on it's way...



Are you ready?



Cause we can't wait!!

Superspiderbatbubba

This is Superspiderbatbubba.



He's strong, handsome, and, at times, faster than a speeding bullet. Almost literally



Last week, he had tubes put in, his adenoids removed, and surgery on his toes



He really is our little superhero

Bubba B-Ball

Bubba recently started playing basketball.



For this reason, I've been looking forward to age 4 for a LONG time.



Watching my kiddos play sports has always made me giddy just thinking about it



I may be slightly prejudice...But I'm SURE he's one of the best players on his team



This fills my "mommy glass" to the brim

Children

“Whatever they grow up to be,

they are still our children,

and the one most important

of all the things we can give to them

is unconditional love.

Not a love that depends on anything at all

except that they are our children.”

Sandy Toes in Winter

It has been FREEZING here lately.
We haven't seen the sun for days.
The furnace barely has time to click off before it's warming up to turn back on.
It's about 20 degrees right now, and that's "warm" compared to the 9 we had yesterday.
Ice on roads and driveways and sidewalks is still inches thick in places from a storm we had over a week ago.
Ahhh warmth...*sigh*
This November, we took a trip to the ocean...played in the water...squished our toes in the sand...


All this cold makes me wish I were back at the beach.

Bubba got an ear infection.
A pretty good one.
And since it had only been a few weeks since the last bad one had ruptured his eardrum, the doc immediately put him on antibiotics.
Penicillin this time.
About a week later, we got him ready for bed and noticed THESE!

Ummm....that can't be good.

Silly mom didn't think to stop the antibiotics

the next morning they were even worse, so we took him to the doc.

Who said he was having a severe reaction to the penacillin.

Yay...

Something else to add to Bubba's list of "things I'm allergic to"

It's been a while...

The hard drive to my computer crashed.

And there went all the recently-added-not-yet-saved-to-an-external-drive photos.

Good thing I'd had the impression just the week before to print off about 200 of those pictures.

Needless to say, my camera finger has been extra busy trying to make up for those lost, irreplaceable pictures.

Oh well.

These kids will just have to be satisfied with their 1800 pictures from the past year,

instead of all 1847.

Da Sween

"Mommy, will you push me on da sween?"
My motivation for going to the park is so he can get some exercise.

So HE can get some exercise.

Oh well, I guess I could use a little myself

Kudos Kiddos

"I Love my children."
I find myself saying this to myself several times a day, especially about a certain tantrum-throwing, mule-stubborn, born-to-be-wild 3 year old.

No really, I DO love them, some days I just need to remind myself a little more why I do what I do.

Yesterday was one of those days...

On these days, I go to sleep thinking "tomorrow is another day..."

And I try not to cry :D

In the Genes

It's in the genes. I've always loved to take pictures. My mom was especially fond of my obsession to photograph EVERY moment of my life when all we had were 35mm cameras. Now, the 3-year old shares this passion. Call me crazy, but I actually let him use MY camera.




Thank goodness for digital...
