Vacation Fun

Finally back into the swing of things from being on vacation.  I do have to say though that road trips are the best way to really have quality time with your family.  Family of 6 in a pickup truck was pretty scary at first but we all made it work.  We sang and told jokes and saw so many good sights.  We also got to see family on our trip which made everything that much better.  These are the times in our lives that will always be remembered.  I fondly remember the road trips that my grandmother took us on.  I hope that I can give my kids the same type of memories.

The Next Joe's

I am attempting to paint my two youngest boys room this week.  My goodness!  They are the BIGGEST slobs!  I counted 7 coke cans hidden in their room.  Those flavor ice popsicles?  Yep.... several of them all throughout the room.  Wrappers were hidden under blankets!  There was a dumpsite underneath their mattresses.  If you have seen the movie "Joe's Apartment" you understand.  I think they are the next Joe. Why do kids not realize that they are swimming in filth?  Ok.  After this week their room will be painted and redecorated.  I am thinking if they cherish their lives they won't eat or drink another thing in their rooms.  I sure feel sorry for their future wives!

Mommy Blues

I am really missing my oldest Mason.  I just can't believe he has moved out and started his life.  I am so utterly proud of him for the man that he has become.  He has accepted a job going to Syria and then Afghanistan.  Is it wrong to wish he would change his mind?  Ladies, grab onto those little ones because they leave before you know it.  I need to really start spending some quality time with my boys at home because they will be on their own before long too!
