~Million Dollar Snapshots~

Well...it seems the kiddos have been snapping 

pictures with my camera again.

I really don't mind...It's fun to see what they think is

'foto worthy'. I never know who snaps the pictures...but

sometimes I can tell by their foto subjects ;o} exactly

who took the picture.

Here are a few of their million dollar snapshots!

Enjoy!

One of the new kittens~sooo cute!

(I was wondering what killed that plant!)

This is Kenjo~he's the 'Dennis the Mennace' of cats ;o} no joke!

If you know me very well at all...

you know I didn't get close enough to snap this beauty!

Is this your card?

Molly curled up with a stuffed frog...

Kenjo again~he's always getting into something!

That's why he is suppose to stay outside!

This one had to be Ethan's idea...

This is the deer in Dalton's room...he's wearing the latest shades! ;o}

Just thought I'd share a glimpse of what I see when I upload

my pictures...too funny!

~Just for laughs~

My aunt sent these to me today and I

thought they were too cute not to share.

(I may try this next one~lol...but instead of Lasagna I think

I would want them to accidentally bring me some honey 

barbeque ribs and a twice baked potato with extra

bacon~YUMMY)

(I could soooo see my hubby doing this next one!) ;o}

I hope they made you smile!

Have a great night!

Are you easy to make queasy?

I have always had a strong stomach...I suppose my 2

brothers deserve most of the credit for that ;o}

...and then having small children around has always helped...

Especially when you have babies...you have to be able

to handle the unexpected...

You know~((stuff)) being spewed at you at a moments

notice...from either end ;o}

...but since my kiddos are getting older...and the messes

they make aren't quite as disgusting...I have noticed my

stomach isn't quite as strong as it used to be ;o{

Just today...I decided I would save a few $$ by taking

Suzy's staples out myself...it was nasteeee!

I hope I never have to do that again~EVER~YUCK~

They made a little popping sound when I popped them

out~Gross!! ((insert vomit sound))

lol~I don't know how you would spell that ;o}

I didn't really get sick, but I realized that my stomach's

not as strong as it once was.

Once upon a time...when one of the kids would throw-up it
wouldn't make me sick....but now just the thought of

cleaning it up does...

But that's not all...

Being in a dirty public restroom~

Seeing clipped toenail pieces~

Hearing someone snort & cough up stuff~

Seeing chewed up food~

Just to name a few~I could go on~

...but if I do, I will have to take a short break ;o{

So, tell me!

What makes you sick?

I can't be the only mother that gets grossed out!

Can I?

I hate mean dogs!

Our Suzy Q is such a sweet girl...she is the best dog ever.

She is very gentle with kids, other animals....everybody.

She even lets other dogs come into the garage and eat her food

without tearing into them like most dogs would.

A neighborhood dog came up to the house Tuesday night and

attacked her. She had her by the neck and Ethan was able to

get her loose by kicking that big mean German Shepherd in the ribs....

I hope he broke a few ;o}...(I know that's inhumane...just don't

mess with my dog and I won't mess with yours) ;o}

I took Suzy to the vet and she had to be stapled up. ;o{

She seems to feel better and has gotten use to the staples...

at first she was trying to shake them out.

I just hate mean dogs...when I was in fourth grade I was bit in the

face by a dog...he had never bitten anyone before...just me!

But luckily I walked away only needing a few stitches...

the scars are barely noticeable today.

I hope that dog stays away from here...and away from Suzy!

We do have alot of firearms in the house ;o}

...AND...although I couldn't shoot it, I can't say the same
for hubby or the boys if it were to attack her again....

Happy 16th Birthday Dalton!

I know I've said it a million times...but I'm gonna say

it again...'I can't believe how fast they are growing up!'

Dalton was such a happy baby! His nickname was

(and still is) Pie...He was born 7 1/2 weeks early but still

weighed 5 lbs 13 oz. I remember during the night I would check to

make sure he was still breathing....he seemed so fragile...it became

such a habit that I would catch myself putting my hand on

Jeremy's chest to feel it rise.

When he learned to crawl, he would crawl on his fists...he
never opened his hands to put his palms on the floor. I am not
sure why...maybe he didn't like the way the carpet felt on
his hands.

He always wanted to be just like daddy. When we would

go to singings he would sing in to the microphones just like

his dad....

He loves sports...he's always been a little on the

aggressive side when it comes to competition :o}

(Not really sure who he gets that from~'his dad')

He absolutely hates his picture being taken!

(Now that one he gets from me!) When he sees me

pull my camera out he usually runs the other direction...

There are so many things I can say to describe Dalton...he

has a big heart, a good sense of humor (although I admit it is

slightly warped~that he gets from his dad ;o}) He can be very

emotional (that's another one of mine)...but tries not to let

it show.  He is the most serious one of the kids and he has a very,
very stubborn side...he hates being told what to do.  He's a natural 
leader... He can't stand bullies! He likes ties, but hates wearing
them and if he could...he would wear camo every day!

I still can't believe he's 16!

Happy Birthday Dalt! We love you!
