I just needed a little space to brag about 3 guys!
First JT is done with his series of shots and everything looks great, so alas no surgery! Yippee! He was such a trooper going to the Dr. twice a week. I think he developed a crush on his nurse Ruth and loved getting stickers! I think we might miss visiting them one a weekly basis.
Second Superman is Dave he weeded the front flower bed yesterday while I was waiting for the effects of a sleeping pill to wear off. (I don't think I will try that again! I was groggy the entire day!) He also made sure that all of the dishes were washed! What an amazing Hubby!
Lastly is my Dad! He came over a couple of weeks ago and I didn't get a chance to brag about it! My bathtub now drains completely! YIPPEE!!! It no longer fills up when the washing machine drains, someone takes a shower, or the children play in the bath! It is such a great reassurance to know that should they fill the tub high it will not over flow again!
Needless to say I am one lucky girl to be surrounded by this many supermen in my life!
Small glimpses into the lives of a energetic family of five. One that never stops learning, loving, and laughing together.

Mothers Day
Today was Addison's Mothers Day Program at school! Needless to say the video is a little wiggly to which I apologize, I was sitting on the table and every time someone moved or bumped into it it wiggled. Addison for her part was so excited to have me there. If you notice there is a part where she totally gets distracted but that is because someone walked in the door. It's never ceases to amaze me how one day your ready to throw in the towel and the next you have fallen in love all over again!
Tom Sawyer....
I thought that my children were over at the neighbors house playing, boy was I wrong!
As I walked outside to call my children to come home to take naps I found the neighbor walking over holding JT's hand with Addison following behind. Honestly my first thought was, "Oh NO, what have they done now!" 
I guess I was right in my thinking because my sweet neighbor asked if I knew that they had been in the paint. Sadly, I had no idea! I quickly found myself apologizing for my children's decisions. To which she assured me not to worry and that her kids were just as much a part of it as mine were. So, needless to say the kids were scrubbed down, lectured, and put into time out.
They were instructed to stay there until I had completely cleaned the fence off. Now, here is where the fun part comes in.... JT decided to run himself a bath and flooded the bathroom, hallway, and into the bedrooms upstairs. Addison came out to tattle about JT hoping in the bath to which I told her to make sure that the water was shut off and to tell him to get out. Less then 5 minutes later she is outside again with her hands on her hips stating, "Mom there is water everywhere in the house! You need to come now!" Yep, there was water everywhere! The damage downstairs was as follows: Water pouring from the jams above the doors, a soaked hallway, filled light , and a flooded bathroom. Needless to say all of the towels were used in the house as well as some cotton sheets to help soak up the water! Thank goodness my Dad brought a shop vac over to the house because after all the towels were used I still managed to soak up around 4" of water! The carpet is still drying out! I am looking at the positive side of it which is my floor got a really good mopping and I knew that my children were Picasso's in the making! Gotta love the ingenuity of kids! Yes there is no pictures of my children covered in paint or the flooding mess! Just use your imagination!
