THINGS COULD GET WORSE

If after looking in the mirror and get disappointed about how much weight you have gained after having a baby, or sympathizing so much with having a baby. Or just realizing that after three years of marriage you look nothing like you did in your wedding pictures, just look at these pictures and know that things could get worse.




P.S. To get a better look at these beauties, click on the pictures. Thanks Corey for the hotties.

R&B King

Where in the world does he learn how to dance like this. Codi and I do not dance around the house much, but somehow he picked it up.

A dedication to all the other mothers out there....

Recently I have noticed a trend on the blogs of some of my friends. It's a trend that seems to be catching on quickly with all the little ones. What's this hot new trend, you may ask......

TANTRUMS.

Yep, the little ones are not only raising up, but raising their voices as well. My friend Sara is dealing with fits, my friend Bekah is trying to "find a happy place" while her little one perfects the art of the tantrum, and our little Xander is leaving me quite dumbfounded. Now,  he isn't participating in the usual arch the back, throw the head, and flail the arms while screaming technique.... instead he has decided that biting his own hands in anger is his preferred method. 

Yep, I have become the mother of the dreaded biting child. Now, I must say on his behalf that he hasn't bitten anyone besides himself, and me(only once or twice). Yet. I've checked many sites that say this is a normal stage that children go through, and it will eventually fade away on it's own. Until that time however... I promise to not be offended when I see many of you turning to run the other direction when we come your way.

In conclusion, I just want to say to all of you mothers out there... HANG IN THERE!! We'll make it through together. And if not.... I'm sure Bekah will save us all a seat on her flight to some remote tropical island. Coconut oil here we come!!! 

I Hate Being an Adult!!!

So I finally got a job.  I gave myself an ulcer while looking, but the end result is all that matters.  I am currently working for Dillard's.  It is a great start.  I am managing the cosmetics department.  I help manage over 75 employees and the second largest department in all of their stores.  Codi loves the perks.  So instead of moving into a house we decided to buy two new cars.  We went in for one Saturn Vue and came out with two, because Codi loved my car so much she wanted one for herself.  But the whole car lot experience was the worst thing we have ever done.

Xander got his first haircut at this really cute place and he loved getting his haircut.  Codi got a new due also, but at a different place.  He still loves dancing and is getting taller and taller.  He can now get on the couch by himself, which scares us.

So for now Oklahoma City is our home, but who knows what the future will hold for us.  Thank you for all of your prayers.

He loves Kanye West, and if you watch close enough you can see him smack his head, which cuts his dancing short.
