This is what happens when Mom gets an idea....

Growing Up

Okay so about Scott....

His feet are HUGE!!!

He's taller than me.

He thinks he's too cool to hug us.

He gets annoyed with us.

He can sleep for 12 hours straight, then go back for a little nap.

He is constantly hungry.

Yup, he's a teenager, but I am still wondering what happened to my little baby boy, I used to call my little "hunkie". ? I'm telling you everyone said it would go fast and they were right.

Something is Dying

So what do you guess it could be???

Washer
Dryer
Oven
Dishwasher
Hot Water Heater
Car
DVD player (although this is going out too)
Computer
??????
No it's my camera!!! I think it quite possibly could be the most important thing when you have children. So when you see a little pink around the edges of my pictures you can tell it's dying. It's all so DEVASTATING!!!!!
Here's a funny thing though. I tried to take capture a most precious moment that happened the other day and when I turned it on the screen went black and fuzzy, so I couldn't get a picture of that moment. Such a bummer, but the picture will last in my memory forever. So I have been crying and moaning all weekend. Then when we were flipping through pictures from the summer I found that my teenager doesn't even look the same as he did in August!!! GASP, I am now whining a little more seeing as if he is changing so quickly how can I not just snap a few photos of him, it's all so frustrating!!!! So I grab my camera and turn it on and as it has been doing the screen is black and then all of a sudden.....It's clear as a bell. So I grab Scott and we run outside and I snapped some fab pictures. I hope you enjoy them, because with an unreliable camera this may be all you will get for awhile. Stay tuned for the next post!!!

Bye-Bye Baby Boy

I have had the tough job of saying goodbye to my little baby. He is quite a smart little tike. His vocabulary is quite large. He astonishes us everyday with what he picks up and says. He potty trained quite easily, much easier and earlier than my other 2 boys. And this just topped it, as any Mom knows that once you cut off the "baby" hair it is never as soft or ever the same again. And since this is my last baby it has been hard to let him grow up. I joke around that he is a 13 year old locked up in a 2 year old body and he is trying to get out. Anyone who has met him, knows this to be sooo true. He is a blast to be around. But it is so sad to say good-bye to his baby things. I'm glad he still likes his "taggy", but he won't snuggle with me at all. He has too many things to learn and do. So for all of those who have been patiently waiting here is the new and amazingly look alike to Scott, Shad Daniel-Jaxon Schmitt!

Softball

This is Hannah's first year playing softball. She is having fun but a little timid.

Football

Taggy

Shad bear with his "taggy" at nap time.

He rests his head on a cars pillowcase made by his Nana.

So Cozy!

Fred Goes to the Dentist

Okay, I admit it... I love to watch Fred. If you don't know who Fred is, well today is your lucky day my friend. This is my favorite Fred video. I hope you enjoy it too and it makes you laugh!

Caught!!!!

So some things have been going on around here as always. This is the just a few that I have been getting a snap of. Elijah apparently got a hold of my camera, he's been caught!

Yes, those are tiny little feet dangling out of the fridge

See that bowl of watermelon sitting above him? Well he wanted just a taste. Shad has been caught in the fridge getting his own snack.

This is what I found on Wednesday morning when I went to wake up Scott.

He is in bed wearing his hooded sweatshirt that is pulled as tight as it could be so as to not show his new haircut. He was fully zonked out, he has no idea I took this. He's been caught not liking his new haircut. I am assuming that he would have rather taken a detention over the long hair.

I am a Mom who is watching and laughing at every opportunity to catch these kids.
