Plastic Bubbles

Some toys never get old.  Plastic bubbles are one of them.  Because today, Navy and I both had a blast trying to make bigger and bigger bubbles.  I thought I had it in the bag.  But stinking Navy got me with a monster she blew up!  Pictured above, is just a baby bubble….I couldn’t hold my camera and compete at the same time!

Bald Spot

While I was in Utah, I got this picture from Micah.
When I talked to him, this is the rough version of the story I got.
Dash got some gum from Navy, but it ended up in his hair.  So when Dash and Navy were in the bath, in an attempt to not get herself into trouble, she “fixed” the problem by pulling out every hair the gum was attached to.  When Micah saw the huge bald spot left, he was in shock.  Then he asked Dash, “Buddy, didn’t that hurt?”  To which he replied, “Yeah.  Sometimes I was crying when she pulled the hairs out.”
Ummmm…that’s sickening to a far away mom.
Ummmm…there are a lot of questionable things going on for a far away mom.
Then when I got home, I took a picture that does the bald spot a bit more justice!

It is literally a spot with NO HAIR!
Poor little Dash.
And the clarified story I got was from Navy….
“Dad knew the gum was in his hair, but he told me to try to get it out in the bath.  Dash was really tough, and I felt really bad about pulling out all of his hair.”
Ummmm…there are even MORE questionable things going on with this story.
But I do applaud Navy for the thorough job.
Micah — have you heard of peanut butter?

Beautiful Sunset

The sunset pales in comparison to the handsome boy in this picture.
How stinking cute can a boy be?

Fancy Feast

While I was away in Utah — Navy helped her dad whip up some hard boiled eggs.
This fancy girl even adorned it with a blueberry, and some mint from outside.
Navy was so excited about them, that I had her send me a picture.
I loved the eggs, but wasn’t too keen on her crazy face in the picture.
Fancy food with an alien expression has such an unsatisfying juxtaposition.

She’s Here!

41 hours of labor later….
Baby Blush Valentine Hunt has arrived!

Dash immediately FaceTimed “Ducky”.

She is about as cute as a baby gets!
We know that Tristen is excited…but we are ALL soooooo excited that she has a baby!

But Nonnie may just be the most excited!
Tristen has a baby — CHECK!!!!!
Finally!

Plus Two

img_0900-2016-01-30-at-20-34-35.jpg
Many days end up with our kids playing upstairs in the Family Night Room.  And it isn’t unusual to have our four kids plus two, because of those Hansen boys from up the street.  I always welcome them in, because they are nice, helpful, discipline-able, and they play with Pippi and Dash as much as they play with Navy and Scout!
As far as neighbors go, my kids scored!

Tiny Girl Problems

You know you have it made in the shade when everything you put on is too big for you.  Pippi, at 2 1/2 years old is still wearing 18 months.  And that is only because we need the length of an 18 month old.  If we were going for width, she would be sporting a 6-12 month bathing suit!
(Not pictured: The back side of the suit where her full diaper and booty didn’t come close to filling her suit up!)

Mall With Kids

img_0865-2016-01-27-at-18-26-44.jpg
We went to the mall, because I had to buy a new bra.
Luckily Skylar met us, and went to the playground with the kids — minus Pippi who wanted to come with me.
I tried and tried to talk her into the playground, but she was not having it.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t having it…because she made bra shopping a JOKE!
Let’s just say that I rain checked it, and headed back to Skilly with Pippi in hand.

Lover Boy

img_0872-2016-01-28-at-11-18-55-1.jpg
Just 20 minutes after Pippi woke up Dash by hitting him, he held her hand the whole way to school drop off.  How can a boy be so forgiving and sweet.  I tell him all the time that he has lollipops inside him.  Then he tells me that he doesn’t.  So then I ask him, “Well then, how’d you get so sweet?”

A Million Selfies

img_0791-2016-01-26-at-15-02-14.jpg
These is nothing quite like uploading your pictures from your phone…only to realize that your darling boy took about a millions selfies.  It’d be one thing if they were cute pictures, or even where he is smiling.  But somehow, every time this happens, it is of one of my kids making crazy and unattractive faces.
