Words that our kids say

Last night, as I lay awake, I was thinking of how the kids say words that are wrong and for some reason it cracked me up. Here are a few: Although I didn't know Bailey at the time, Erik says that she called applesause da-do-da. Yogurt was googun. I don't get those two at all! And, up until a year or two ago, she used to call Skittles-taste the rainbow. Cracked us up! Nate and Lex both call bananas-beyanas and M&Ms-nemee ems. I'm sure I'll think of some more later, but I wanted to get this down before my memory fails me.

Getting ready for some birthdays

April is birthday month in our house. Well, it's actually only a two week span starting with Erik on the 17th of April, then Nate and my grandmother share the 25th, I am on the 28th, Lex is May 1st and my step-dad is May 2nd. Yep, that's a lot of birthdays! So, as much as each of the boys have their "own" birthday, we have always had combined parties for them. So far, so good with that. I just booked the skating rink for their party this year. I AM GOING TO HAVE A FOUR YEAR OLD AND A SIX YEAR OLD!! Where have these years gone?? I mean, everyone told me how fast these years will fly by, but I didn't really believe them! I mean, when I'm in the middle of diapers, sippy cups, tantrums, wrestling fights, preschools, playing and just plain living life...who has time to stop and think how fast it's going by? Geesh, somebody shoulda warned me! :) But, I can honestly say that I"ve truly enjoyed my boys. Have their been times where I've lost my ever-loving mind? Um, yea, without a doubt. But, there have also been tons of times where I have laughed so hard it hurt to breath and I had tears streaming down my fast. I think I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. I feel good about it. No, I feel great about it. And, I pray, that my kids feel the same way too.
