Clarification. Discovery !

I want to clarify a little something. I in NO WAY wanted my last post to sound as if I was unhappy having guests and so I get angry and want to yell at my family.
Oh no. I yell at my family with or without guests. (EXTREMELY LARGE CHEESY GRIN)

Here is a little glimpse of what we did yesterday.
The Discovery Museum. Balls. Water. Robots. oh and that little incident where I took my self training to side saddle ride a horse. I taught myself how to do ALL of the rodeo riding tricks...there is video to prove it....however I have threatened Toni's LIFE if she releases it. so you just get a picture.

























and of course the picture of what the adults do to entertain themselves.

The Hear and Now !!

OH how I wish that I could switch ears with Toni some times.
How wonderful when all three of my kids are screaming to have SILENCE.

My house is full of noise and LOVE !!!

Typical Conversation when you have a hearing guest staying at your house :
J : "HONEY ! did you want to pick the baby up...he's been crying at your feet for 10 minutes ?" (smiling behind clenched teeth)
K : "YES DEEEEAAAR, and I WILLLLLL, but I'm BUSY cooking YOUR dinner." (ALSO smiling behind clenched teeth and EVIL eyes)
J : "FINE DEAR, but I already have TWO OTHER KIDS HANGING ON me !"
(did you feel the sarcasm?)

Conversation with a deaf guest.
(turn so deaf guest can't see clenched teeth and evil eyes)
J : "PICK HIM UP ALREADY....GOD, does he have to cry for 25 YEARS before you acknowledge him ?!"
K : "WHAT..and I'm NOT doing ANYTHING right now?"
J : "WHATEVER..."
K : "WHATEVER..."
(turn...roll eyes at deaf guest with award winning smile)

scene two...kinda nice right ? I thought so. The problem is...J and I are so comfortable around Toni..we have no problem doing the latter in front of her face :)
**update to explain**
Maybe nobody else feels like this when they have house guests. I personally get exhausted trying to be nice to my kids and wife ALL OF THE TIME. controlling my angry side :) I like to be able to yell and say it how it is to my wife. BUUUUUT maybe that's just me !

Something I learned. Yes Toni you do this. When talking to herself she talks in sign sitting at the table staring off in to space.
OH HELL...she's probably talking to me. ha ha

(Toni, now reading over my shoulder...rolls eyes with award winning smile)

Here are some pictures from our day so far because I KNOW that's all any one needs at this point any ways.

Arts and crafts time.















We went to Utah's greatest park today.
Mikaela CLEARLY kickin it.

Kyron in the kiddie area of the park !

aaaaaaaaaaaaand....they're here !!!!!

ALMOST HERE !

San "DIEGO"

"Mommy J flew on a plane today to San Diego."

"WHAT !" as thrilled as could be.

"YA, she got to fly on a plane !" assuming the plane part got the reaction.

"Mommy J went where ? to DIEGO ?"

"yes honey" now realizing where the excitement was coming from, "SAN diego"

Now smiling and giggling slightly, "diego"

Kids will be Kids !

As a mother when you sit there and say..."It's quiet!"....or..."They seem to be getting along well!" These are times in your life when the words. OH SHIT, and GRAB YOUR CAMERA will come to you mind.
I had a moment like that today.
Oh the giggling, the laughing, the playing so well together......aaaaah

wha....? water and tea sets not to be used in the house.

Sister wife !!!!

One of our sister wives came out this weekend. :)
She's left me and I'm having withdrawals. I LOVED having her here.
She just jumped in, with her cloths on of course.
My kids took to her and loved all over her.
You must understand that my boys don't take to very many people. I'm pretty sure when I tell Grandma this she's gonna be pissed. She's been sucking up to Cam for a couple of months now. He BARELY gives her the time of day.
The whole family will be here in just over a week and I can't wait.

and of course. my little pumpkins

Can't Touch This

I know you wanna but ya can't !
CLEARLY this is because I am feeling all OLD and shit lately. Or maybe, it's JUST possibly that I'm a Super Star.....maybe a super freak.
Syd has my old dance costumes from High School and some dresses that I had when I was in Jr. High in a dress up chest. They are too big for her to play in just yet so she's not interested...but I just couldn't resist.
Britt, this is for you ! YA baby !! YA !
MUST be viewed while playing song ! It's a must !:) update...I took the music of MC HAMMER off because it kept playing when I didn't want it to for other posts...just imagine it and enjoy :)
I am TOTALLY pulling this face to make me look skinny !!! ha ha ha ha

Look at those moves !!!! STILL GOT IT !! YIP, still got it !


















And here I am in my 9th grade promotion dress. OH YES IT IS !!! This was for my mom who came over and who made me this dress.
Can you believe it STILL FITS !!! HOLY SHIT !!
























Don't look behind the curtain Dorothy, DON'T LOOK !
Obviously it doesn't fit PERFECTLY.
I would like to say that having children and a wonderful wife has made my heart grow 8x's it's size....thus my present condition. :)


I will be posting next about I AM butch, and how you can't pull my lesbian card....yes I danced in High School, and yes I dated a senior basketball player.
FROM THE GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM !!! YAA BABY !! YAAAA !!

PINK...pills, paper and yes even zits !!!

Sydney was doing her art project for the day. She was using an exorbitant amount of Elmer's glue (washable). I said, "honey, lets go a little easy on the glue." moments later, her page now looking 3-D "honey seriously, no more glue...you have PLENTY!" yet but a SHORT time later, the 3-D is now 4-D, 5-D in the parts with noodles and almost looked alive.
I took the glue away from her and set it on the counter behind her. Announced that there would be "no more glue."
Took a final look at what her project was becoming and went to check my email.
4 minutes had passed.
Sydney standing next to me, "mommy, it was just an accident. I didn't meant to"
O gody...I stood from my seat and went in to see the WHOLE bottle of glue empty and laying on the table next to the white puddle spreading like paint across my table.
Now, this is where the premenstrual, if I've told you once I've told you a THOUSAND times, you are 3...you TOTALLY understand me, WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN part boils up inside of me and unleashes it's UGLY breath.
"Syd, go to time out for not listening" it's a safety measure really. Hands gripping the side of my face and not the front of hers.
(pop 1/2 of a little pink pill, because this wasn't the first incident nor will it be the last today)
Clean up the glue and start lunch.
Syd now trying to get on my good graces, says "MOMMY I saved this pink paper for you. I saved it for you because it matches you. (I am wearing blue sweats and a gray t-shirt?). It matches your chin mommy. It matches the pink dot on your chin. I saved this pink paper to match that little dot on your chin"
I laughed but deep down I wanted to cry. The little pink dot on my chin...or the one on my cheek or the cold sore on my nose. PICK A COLOR any color.
Now I just want to go lay down....little pink pill doing it's job.

The next Generation !

I was driving down the street yesterday and I pulled up behind and along side of a car full of girls. The pride stickers were surrounded by nine inch nails, Korn and some skull stickers.
As I pulled up a little closer I saw the cute 20 something lesbians laughing, listening to the latest tunes, talking all at the same time.
My heart raced as the memories of being young and gay flooded my body. The light in front of us turned red and as we stopped, me next to them now in some nostalgic daze, I looked over, smiled my smile of "hey guys, it's me, I'm gay too, power to my peeps"
The driver (cute little sporty baby dyke) glanced my way and SUDDENLY, the look in her face said it all. In the .10 of a second that she gave me...my world surrounded me and slapped me so hard in the face, I blinked and there I was.
In my MINIVAN, this OLD lady, the only thing about me resembling a lesbian at that moment was the fact that I didn't have any makeup on. :)
The light turned green and as we headed to the next light, her car now 2 cars behind me, I sheepishly put my chin on my hands that rested on my steering wheel and answered Syd when she asked....."The Yellow Sumbarine song again please?"
I complied and we listened to "We all live in a Yellow Submarine" for the UMPTEENTH time.
WOW ! I'm OLD ! I mean, I am really old ! :)



and this, because it's funny and because with age comes dieting.

From Baby talk to full sentences

My boys run around and scream "that and this, that and this !"
No literally, they are saying "that"...and "this"....(well to anyone NOT a part of our family it would sound more like da dis da dis)
Right now behind me Cameron is saying this this this....this this this....and sometimes he drags it out with a hissing sound....sthiiiiiisssssss.

We are also certain that when we ask a question, they both understand and answer....mostly in whole sentences.
example :
Cameron, where are you going ? responds with, "I'm downstairs" or..."aw dost zzz"
Spencer, what are you doing ? responds with, "I'm getting my bike" or "aye ga mmm bye"
Now one might say...that this is CRAZY and how could they be forming sentences already. One might also add that when they are running around the house babbling that anyone could form words out of the sounds that they make.
AH HA ! (pulling cape over mouth only exposing eyes)

WHATEVER ! Me and J both look at each other and laugh when we hear the same thing and will point out...did you hear what I heard :) ha ha...it sounded like he said he was going to get his bike.
(note to self, get a bike for the kid so that your story will hold a little more water)

I look back at Sydney's baby book and all of the words and sounds that she was saying at their age and it amazes me. BUT alas, I worked so hard with her...and these guys are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to patty cake.
oh well !

New words for the boys,
Cameron will now say all done, (he flips his hands palms face up) Even better...if I continue to push food at him...that's when things get messy, batted out of hands, tossed to the floor sometimes even thrown across the table. LISTEN TO ME ALREADY DAMN IT...I SAID I WAS ALL DONE LIKE 2 TIMES WITH MY HANDS ALL FLIPPED UP AND MY HEAD TILTED ALL CUTE, what part of AH DA don't you understand lady.

Spencer is going to be my sound guy, he says animal sounds and now likes to go in his room and pull the elephants trunk doing the lip together, raspberry, car sound 3 times while pulling the trunk up and down. Mommy J does the ULTIMATE elephant.

Boys, I apologize for not working with you more. I promise that when you are 15 you will talk just as good as your sister.
Speaking of sister. Sydney is my little signer. Since coming in contact with our 1/2 sibs Mommy Mama and Cubs. We are trying to pick up more signs. Now Syd will be in the middle of a sentence and say..."mama, what's the sign for brother?" "mama, what's the sign for day?" I show her and then 3 days later we will be at Grandma and Papa's house and she will announce, "hey papa, hey grandma, do you want to see the sign for brother?" showing them flawlessly. I smile as if I had worked hours on end with her...and OH MY GAW you should see the HUNDREDS of words she knows in sign language. THIS, is just the tip of the iceberg. :)

I know, WHATEVER !

FULL MOON BULLSHIT !!!

How many fucking full moons are there this month ?! I can't believe this shit !
Fuckity fuck fuck fuck !

oooh, sorry, did I just use my outside voice ?! (timid hee hee hee)

Eyes Wide Open

Last night both Jan's mom and sister and my mom came over. We had dinner and played cards.
At 8:30 the boys were DONE !
I had them in PJ's and in bed by 9 pm.

FAST FORWARD
11:30. from the baby's monitor.
gidy ga ba bota gasa gasa gasa...(giggles...kicking...bouncing) Cam WIDE AWAKE.
I had been listening to it for 2 1/2 hours. I finally went and picked him up. brought him to bed with me and turned on Family Feud.

midnight. heard from our bed. Janice sleeping. (well WAS asleep.trying to sleep.unable to sleep)
(LOUD, HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER)
Cam would try to climb to the edge of the bed so we would grab an extremity and pull him back towards the middle of the bed (MORE LAUGHTER would insue..both of us cracking up at him cracking up)

I put him back in bed and I think at about 12:30 am the movement and talking stopped. I fell asleep. Syd woke me up at 2:30 to go potty.
6:30 am my wife woke me up to say goodbye

7:00. from the baby's monitor
gidy ga ba bota gasa gasa gasa....(giggles....kicking...bouncing) Cam WIDE AWAKE

Are you KIDDING ME !

A little sugar !

I found this video of the girls (Mikeala and Syd) dancing and singing on our way through NYC.
Their voices are as sweet as sugar :) and as you can clearly see it looks as though they were ON a sugar high ! NOPE ! just like a little Mary Poppins !
