Everyone loves BABY BOYS!

Boys are found everywhere -- on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket."

"Ten tiny little fingers that always want to play,

That never stop exploring the wonder of today.

Ten tiny little fingers that from the very start,

Will reach out for tomorrow yet always hold your heart."

One of the best things in the world to be is a boy. It requires no experience; But needs lots of practice to be a good one! 

Spaghetti can be eaten most successfully if you inhale it like a vacuum cleaner....

The other day I caught this little guy sitting on the coach with Mr. potato head...this is what he said,

"Take of your face...Its time for a nap...TAKE of your shoes...we aren`t going anywhere! K: go to sleep!" 

 

Everything you see I owe to spaghetti! 

 

Rykon is a character! I have never met a two year old with the ability to mimic someone with such preciseness as to literally not be able to own his own character...other then when eating spaghetti! ;0)  

Cheesers are good for more then eating Cheese!

 

The other day Jeremy`s mother was driving me home from work. The boys were in the back talking and talking as usual. Question after question about why their dad was in the newspaper for baseball, why he shaved his head in high school, why, why, why, why, why, why?! One of the they whys was, "Grandma, why do you laugh so much?"...Like all grandma`s, who whether or not they know everything-the older they get the more they seem to know, and to us who are younger, they always know the most...had this to reply, "because smiling and laughing will get you a lot farther in this world then frowning and crying ever will. Its best we look on the bright side. That`s the way life should be." I had a moment to reflect on that...only a moment however simply because in life with three boys...everything lasts but only a moment. I smiled. Grandma was right.... "In all of living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."....this week, despite all the changes and obstacles that I knew I would have to overcome...I decided to "Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight." Life changed dramatically for me after that day....Just wait and you will see! ;0) 

Certain Things....

Everybody has their own fantasy of how life would be if it was "perfect for them"...For me, it`s really pretty simple:

A world without fleece, sequin tops, box top hair-cuts, and really long fake fingernails...

A world where you can only become truly accomplished at what you love. Where money is never the goal. Instead, everyone pursues something they love doing and do it so well that no one can take their eyes off them.

Cats: would be out in the wild where they belong. We all know they are stuck up or as the cat-lovers argue independent anyway...

Dogs: would pee in the toilet...

Black and Brown clothing would be considered a mark of class...prestige...and fashion (considering the majority of my clothes are those colors)

The idea of socks and sandals would be unheard of....

Monkeys would be the new house pet...

Chubby would be the new skinny...but we would all still love exercise...it would just produce opposite results....(I just feel like this would be a fun way to see the world)

Leather pants would still be in style...along with leather jackets with big buttons and cool identification patches.

The new Generation would have brought the afro, headbands, bright colors, peace signs, and face paint (flowers on your eyes) from the 60s instead of bump it pump it hair dos, Really funky flower head bands, short skirts with tucked in shirts, and wonderful BOB cut!

Ice-cream, cheese cake, and diddy reise would equivalent to the health your everyday apple, celery stick, or whatever is on the top of the Nutrition pyramid!

Everybody would raise their family like the Cosby Family....and in fact-the only show on TV would be the Cosby show!

Tears would taste like sugar....

Bird poo would be whipped topping....

Every other day would be a holiday....

Naps would be required by law to take everyday....

LA would be clean....New York would be cheap....flights would be easy and affordable-just get up and go!

Men---would be women--but trapped in real hot Michael Buble or Denzel Washington bodies....

Women: drama-less!

Babies: FREE!

.....my mind is blocked....
