Quote of the Day

Jackson was flipping thru a magazine and had the following conversation with Lincoln...

Jack: "Guess what Link, one of the Jonas Brothers is getting married."

Link: "Which one?"

Jack: "Kevin"

Link: "Mom!  There are only going to be 2 Jonas Brothers now!"

i think this is pretty

a conversation

Yesterday Link ran to the bathroom yelling that he was going to throw-up, well, he made it to the bathroom but that was all.  Nothing was spared.  I got Link in the tub and as I was cleaning throw-up off the floor, walls, cabinets, hamper, tub, anything in the 10 ft radius, Link and I had the following conversation.

Lincoln: "I'm just sorry I did that, Mom."

Me: "Don't be sorry, you couldn't help it, it will be alright I had to clean this bathroom anyway."

Lincoln: "What would happen if Dad had been walking by when I threw up?"

Me: "Well, I would probably be cleaning up two throw-ups, yours and Dad's."

Lincoln: "I know, sometimes it's hard being a mom, huh."

Me: (laughing) "Yes, yes it is.  But I love you so it's all good"

Here he is before his surgery, he really wanted a photo of the cool free socks that he got. :)

Introducing...

A while back we found this little guy at church and he has now become a permanent member of the family.  His name is Spike and he has kept me company this weekend so I thought it was time to take his portrait and formerly introduce him.

miss my boys

All the boys left me behind and went up to Salt Lake this weekend and I MISS THEM!!  In nearly 10 years of marriage Mike and I have only spent a handful of nights apart and this is the longest time I have been away from the boys, EVER!  The quiet is unnerving here.  At least we have ichat, it was great to see them last night and I can't wait for tonight!  Here is what our conversation looked like...


And I was happy to get a big lips kiss from Jack!  Link was too busy playing with cousins to miss me.
