Kid Pictures

I am such a great mom.  Do you know how I know I am a great mom.  Because I love my kids enough to take their school pictures myself.  Yup, no more of those pictures that I have to buy the whole entire package just to get one picture of my kid making a face that makes me think they must taser the kids shortly before they snap their pictures. Nope, no more I put my foot down, I'm sticking it to the man.  Instead I dragged my kids out of bed this morning at 7 am made them shower and dress and hall their buts outside so I could take their pictures myself.  Of course I'm paying for it now because they are all grumpy and tired and disagree strongly that I am a great mom.  They like school pictures, they must like the taser.  So here is a sample of the kids school pictures.  

I think this one is my favorite. This picture not the kid because mom's don't have favorites. Right?

Of course this one is dang cute too and makes me think that someday soon girls will be knocking on our door. Then good mom will have to turn into evil mom. 
 
I do not have favorites, I do not have favorites, I do not have favorites.  But, hypothetically speaking, if you had to choose a favorite could you resist this face? As I said before I do not have favorites, I do not have fav........ Well not everyday
.
Tell me these two aren't dang cute and aren't going to break some hearts? They better marry girls who like me that is all I 'm going to say. 

Of course we can't forget the oldest who just keeps getting older on me.  She looks old enough to like boys.  But she isn't 19 more years before she is allowed to date.  Yup that's the rule 30 before you date and the first rule is your date has to like me.  See I'm a great mom!

You're so funny. I love reading your posts. You take dang good pictures. Who needs a professional when you are one yourself. I agree that taking kids to get their pictures done is torture for everyone involved. Your kids are very cute!!!

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
