Life's a Potty...

Today, I was in the kitchen cooking dinner and Mack was crawling around under the table playing with a tennis ball. I saw him start heading for the guest bathroom and didn't think much of it because he likes to pull up on the bathtub and knock the shampoo bottles off, etc. So, I'm cooking and he's playing. The next thing I know I look over and see Mack standing at the potty on his tippy toes and reaching in for this...



And yes, there is pee pee in there too. "Someone" forgot to flush.

Pain Relief...

I have a fear of going to the dentist. I have had so much work done in my mouth since I was a young child (palatal separator, braces, retainers, cavities) that I hate for people to mess with anything remotely connected to my teeth. This fear has led to lots of PAIN. This week, I had such an excruciatingly painful toothache that I broke down and used ALL of the pain medication that I had left over from delivering Mack. I had never taken one of the pills until this week, so I guess I could say that my tooth caused more pain than bearing a child! If I spoke to any of you this week and said something goofy...I was extremely medicated and I don't remember it. Well,I finally sucked it up and called the dentist....Dr. Greg. Dr. Greg said "Root Canal" and though I didn't let it show, panic quickly flooded every fiber of my being. I was terrified. The last root canal I had done left me in tears. Not to mention, "doctor greg" is just barely out of dental school! I hid my fear behind a mask of laughing gas and let him do his work. And, after all was said and done, I have to say that Dr. Melton is the BEST dentist I have ever been too. He did a great job and I would recommend him to anyone. Greg, you are going to have an amazing career and I am so proud of you. Its hard to believe that the little pimple faced kid I met so long ago is a doctor. Thanks brother. Now if you could just get rid of this pain in my rear. Oh wait, that's your brother....I think I'll keep that pain around for awhile. : ) One more thing...I still smell bleach.

"Little Black Sambo"

I found a bunch of old CD's with family photos on them today and took a trip down memory lane. This home video of Maddie was on there and it made me laugh so hard!
I can't believe how much she has changed! She's definitely not a little girl anymore. She's 5 going on 15 and growing up way too fast! I had such a good time reminiscing that I wanted to let you in on the fun. This was a reminder to me of how fast time goes by and how I need to treasure every minute of it. Have fun....

Cheesecake....

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I am addicted to sweets. Yes, I know all you who thought I was perfect...I do have flaws. : ) I love almost anything sweet. Saturday, Michael's parents took us to Shreveport to the Cheesecake Bistro. This was my one request for my birthday. I have to say, it was SO worth it! OK...maybe my jeans are fitting a little tighter this week, but I really don't care. Every bite I took of my creamy, rich, coconutty (is that a word), Hawaiian cheesecake was worth every bloated, tight jeaned day I have had since then. It was so good I could not stop eating it, even though my head was telling me to QUIT! So, Momo and Papa...Thank you for my day of self indulgent pigging out! It was great!

So funny!

I haven't posted in a while. Life has been crazy this week. Seems we're always on the go. So, here is a hilarious video of Maddie making Mack laugh for you to enjoy. We were going to make a video for Luke and Dylan's birthdays, but never got around to it after Mack started laughing so funny. This is the best thing in the world. Hearing those two laugh together is heaven. We are so blessed that God has given us the privilege of raising these two beautiful kids! Hope this starts your week off with a smile!
