Ikey Bikey Boo is a walking 27 pound ball of attitude these days.  Throwing things, hitting, biting his brother’s arm so hard that he still has teeth marks days later, throwing more things, smiling when I tell him no.  So I guess that means he’s two right? He’s the most curious boy in the world… Continue reading Stinker

I got this in my in box a while ago: I’m so sorry about missing my last post. I wrote half of in and then I was sure I finished it, but for some reason I guess I didn’t. So here’s what I wrote if you still want it. Still sorry! Love you!! “Wow. My… Continue reading Driving Miss Daisy

Nothing like your child starting preschool to make you feel kinda old…and stressed.  I’m pretty sure that I’m the youngest mom.  The rest of them seem like women in their 30’s.  I still feel old.  Especially when they handed me a scholastic book club thingy.  So cute. Silas’ aid is great.  They made up these… Continue reading Preschool

Before I begin, I must be cliche and say what I’m sure more bloggers are saying.  Kanye West, that was a total jerky move dude….not cool. Moving on. Brent and I celebrated 5 years together this Saturday!!  Where has all the time gone?  Children are little black holes that suck time right out of it’s… Continue reading Wine Tour Anniversary

Silas loves holding his cousin Owen, his whole body gets relaxed, face and all.  He rubs and smells and kisses Owens head.  It’s just like holding a baby does to any of us.  It’s almost like therapy for him. This photo just shows you exactly that.  Plus, the resemblance to his father in this photo… Continue reading What a HUNK!

Well, I’m not going to say much…but lets just say I did something REALLY cool today. There’s this reality show I really like that’s filmed around here.  A week or so ago I sent them an email telling them i was interested in the show.  The next day I got an email back with a… Continue reading Good Things a-comin

How could two people say “lets dress up like cougars for Terry’s old fogy party” and then come in almost the exact same outfit?  Perhaps we were born for this.  Perhaps being a cougar, or at least looking like one is our calling.  I mean…who else does bangs like mine?  I especially like how we… Continue reading Cougarriffic

So I’m sitting here, on a kids chair in the bathroom watching Silas float about in the bathtub.  I’m trying to get everything ready for the new blog.  Informal Matriarchs.  I want to have everything ready for next week!!  Big challenge seeing that I have no clue what type of script I’m even working with… Continue reading Stuff Stuff Stuff

This is Isaac rocking out, playing air guitar and generally being rock star-ish.  It’s his favorite thing to do and I do believe these photos mark took show off his personality beautifully.

That is what Silas said today to get his Grandpa to wake up.  My parents always ask to sleep on Silas’ floor for the pure pleasure of waking up to his cheery face and wonderful snuggles every morning. My parents spent the weekend with us, it was a lovely time.  It wasn’t rushed at all,… Continue reading Grandpa, Stop Sleeping!

My girlfriend had this photo up on her facebook today so I had to steal it.  It reminded me of me.  The Artist is Scott Brunage.  I love his stuff!! Lately I’ve been going to Silas’ room in while Ikey is sleeping.  I let Silas play for a bit by himself but then spend the… Continue reading TGIF!!!
