Happy/Serious

I'm not sure when it happened, but somewhere along the line, Shaylyn taught Jace about expressions. And he was a superb student and has learned how to make a happy face and to make a serious face, and his serious face is HILARIOUS! 

So one day I had my phone with me and Jace was making his faces and since all little babies love seeing themselves on camera, we sorta got it to show the rest of the world. Enjoy!

...That's his happy face, if you couldn't tell...

This kid knows how to keep us laughing!

Oh So Kissable

Shaylyn's been going CRAZY making tons of bracelets since she got her looms for her birthday. It's all she's been doing lately. She's been searching YouTube for videos of how to make different designs. She came across a lip design and made a 'charm' for her bracelet using that tutorial.

Jace was then at his big sister's mercy...

A Bed Fit For A Queen

Awhile ago we bought this container to put away Shaylyn's clothes that no longer fit. It's been sitting in the girls room waiting for me to get to it. Well, one night Ailey decided it made the perfect bed...

DAY 8: A PICTURE THAT MAKES YOU LAUGH

Alright so these are the 3 pictures that came to mind right away....We'll start with the oldest picture first...

--- So Eric likes to be funny when his mom tries to take pictures. He likes to make her crazy. So for this picture he decided he'd stick his tongue out for this kiss. I was going to crop Tanis out of the picture, but then I noticed his face and it totally adds to the laughs! ---

--- We all waited wondering how Ailey would react to getting herself soaking wet. We all braced ourselves for massive tears....we were instead greeted by laughs and a wonderful show of Ailey continuing to drench herself. ---

--- So this isn't so funny by itself, but look what happened first: ---

--- Nate & Ailey were playing Dr. and Mommy was the patient. Nate literally tried to grab my tongue out of my mouth - and I let him....and it hurt (shown above)!!! ---

Truths For MATURE Humans...

I found this on likepics.us (WARNING: there are a few risque pics there) and found it pretty funny, so I thought I'd be so kind and share it...

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever!
- In my world it actually means, I will machine wash this - I won't put it in the dryer and we'll hope for the best...

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Oh crap!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste!

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
- I actually just have a different ringtone set for 'those' numbers...Mwahahaha!

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

32. Even under ideal conditions, people have trouble finding their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone and Pinning The Tail On The Donkey - but I'd bet my last dollar everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, EVERY TIME!

- Hahahahaha!!!! This would be me! I'm one of those people that when I use an alarm, I actually have to put it far enough away so I actually get out of bed to turn it off - otherwise it's just an annoyance and I slap it off and go right back to bed.

Medicine, Man

A couple Sunday's ago I noticed that Tanis' finger looked a little sore and red. I told him we should have grandma (Eric's mom is a nurse) look at it before we left her house. Well, once again I forgot. So it went untreated.

Throughout the week it started to look worse and worse. Eric had decided that if it didn't look better in the next day or two (with Neosporin being put on it regularly) then we would take him in to get it looked at.

Well, we were having dinner at Eric's parents house again, and I actually remembered to have Eric's mom take a look at the finger. She immediately says that it is incredibly infected and we should take him that night.

So after dinner and after visiting for awhile we took a trip to Instacare. Ailey was running a high fever as well, so we figured kill two birds with one stone.

When they got us back and while the nurse was doing all the vitals, she then asked Tanis, "So what are we seeing you for today?"

Lex replies: "He's INFECTED!"

That was hilarious and we all started laughing. We explained to her that Tanis' finger was infected, she took one look at it and said, "Ouch."

The doctor sees us almost immediately and gives Tanis an rx for an antibiotic and tells us that Ailey probably just has a virus. UGH - we spent $90 for 2 minutes of his time. Ay yi yi.

As of today, Ailey feels more like herself and Tanis has to take 15 ml (3 teaspoons) of his antibiotic 3 times daily. Thankfully, he understands what it is doing so he takes it willingly even though he hates the taste.

This is Tanis' finger today:


I feel bad we put it off so long. And to think it all started from a hangnail. Poor kid!
