Out Takes

I take so many pictures of Eli that when I pull the camera out he automatically says, "CHEESE." It's oh, so cute and just melts me heart! But there was a time in my short journey of motherhood when I would have to hit the snap button about 32 times just to be safe that I got ONE good picture.

Naturally I post the best of the best for you, my blogging buddies... BUT..today I was looking through some old pictures and I was in hysterics laughing at some of the out-takes.

Since it's Saturday and we all need a good laugh after the work week, I have posted them here for your viewing pleasure....you can thank me later!!

This is "The Chubby Boy Sneaking Easter Candy" face...

This is the "Drunk In Love" face...


This is the "Mommy Wanted To Know What a Baby Sister Would Look Like And Has Decided To Go With All Boys" face....
This is the "Say What?" face

This is the "Johnny Jumpers Are Over-Rated" face...


This is the "I Need To See The Dentist For My Snaggle Tooth" face...


This is the "I Didn't Get The Memo We Where Taking a Picture" Face


This is the " Too Much Cheesin" Picture face...

I'm hoping Eli doesn't get upset when he turns 16 and sees these, and hacks my account to show you the bad side of me...ha!

I'm also hoping you enjoy these family take-outs. They are sure precious to me!!

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

The Best Is Yet To Be

My two grandmothers are 87 and 97 years old this year, which is pretty amazing if you think about it.  They've lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, President Kennedy's assassination, the race to space, the rise and fall of communism, the advancement of the information era, the attacks of 9/11, Covid, and dozen other "once in a lifetime" events.  They remember when indoor plumbing was a luxury and yet know what social media is. They're amazing. I can't wrap my mind around the magnitude of what they have witnessed. They lived in real time what we can only read about in history books.  It's incredible if you let it sink in. Maybe that's why they're different...not just them, but their entire generation. They're not like us.   They don't give up when things are tough. They don't complain about hardships or the unfairness of life. They don't fold under pressure or cower when they face uncertainty.  They speak...
