Trouble in Poo Town

(Might be TMI for some of your sensitive ears but I know you moms will get it) So my poor little Wy-man doesnt have an easy time going #2, as opposed to his poo machine of a brother who craps like his dad. Wyatt will go like twice a week. And you can bet when he does they are MASSIVE!!! Lindsay was over the other day and we were in the family room talking and all the sudden you hear this voice from the bathroom, "MOM, come here quick!" "What Wy?" "Look at this hugest log i just took!!" Yes thats my boy... obsessed with his own feces and mighty proud might I add. I humored my young lad and much to my surprise, he had every reason to be proud! I wont go into detail i swear. Anyways, the next day, which was wednesday, I was editing pictures in the am, poor little Wy was stuck in front of the tv playing his computer thing and watching Super Why. And eating. Wyatts favorite past time. This is what the kid ate all day (on top of his 2 fiber gummies i give him everyday).....

A bowl of cereal
A banana and a bunch of strawberries
2 cups of green goodness juice
3 hard boiled eggs
a turkey sandwich
a box of raisins
half a carton of blueberries
AND ALL BEFORE 1PM!!!!!! Hi can we say there is some diahrrea waiting to happen! I was seriously tempted to make him wear a diaper. But today is friday, has the kid crapped??? NO!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE?!?! I swear Im gonna make the doc give him an enema and figure out what toy he stuck up there to block his back door. Its insane. Oh and PS he had 3 hardboiled eggs again yesterday on top of the daily 5 lbs of fruit he eats. Still NO POO! I do not envy him.

ok.....

So I think I have done a pretty good job of catching up on the last few months, in a nutshell. Sure we had lots more going on but cmon, you will be bored outta your mind. So here is my new goal. I have tons of friends on here that not only keep up on their blogs but entertain me with other stuff too. Certain days are certain themes, and giveaways and stuff like that. Valerie and her must have mondays, Cal and her flashback fridays, ash and all her cute crafty stuff. Well for one, lets be real, I dont have much that you people will want, Im super lazy when it comes to scanning pics and such, and me and crafts-yaaa not so much! But here is the deal. I am going to get back on track and keep up and there are certain things I have planned for certain days and what not. So stay tuned... they are coming... but dammit people, LEAVE ME SOME COMMENTS!!! Its my motivation to keep blogging so help me out here!! :) Today my friends i am going to leave you with a few recent lines from my troublesome duo. Then i will be back, for good, for real this time. And hopefully entertaining to read. ENJOY!

In the car, my fave song of the month comes on, Weezer's "I want You to". I turn it up!
ME: "i love this song!"
JACK:" Me too, its wicked!"
ME: hmmm, ok, and WICKED?!?! huh? As i turn around to see Jackson playing the air guitar as he sings EVERY line!!

On the couch relaxing with my 3 yr old...
WYATT:"Mom, gimme a massage!"
Very rudely might I add.

Boys are sitting at the table finsihing up dinner. Lukes on the couch watching tv...
JACK:" Dad I have a hypothesis!" Goes on to explain his hypothesis... "dad thats an idea you can test!"
So wish you coulda seen the look on Lukes face... priceless! Who knew?!

Watching TV, all four of us, on one of those random funky foods from different countrys kinda show... they are eating kangaroo tongue or something...
JACK:" Oh my gosh I HAVE to go to that city!!"
ME:"WHY?!?!"
JACK: "I have got to try that food!"

Five minutes later, a tourist channel on surfing in Australia...
JACK:" Mom Ive gotta learn how to surf!!"
ME:"Ok, but howcome?"
JACK:" Cuz I so wanna go there and surf those waves!"

Wyatt and i are watching SuperWhy...
WYATT:"Mom you know why I like watching super why so much?"
ME:" No, why?!"
WYATT:" Cuz that wyatts awesome like me, but he can fly!"

Trying to explain to Jackson how you make hard boiled eggs, hes getting incredibly frustrated cuz he thinks you buy them like that....
JACK:"Mom, you just dont get it!!!"
Wow, have the teenage years begun already?!

Todo?!? Dorothy?!

Um hi dont we live in Southern California?!?! Our problems are widfires and mudslides not winter flooding and tornadoes. Talk about a weird week. Tuesday we were hit with TORNADOES!!! Yes the kind that flood parks, pick up cars and BBQs, rip off roofs and send boats floating through the harbor with no drivers. And yes this all happened here in sunny So Cal. I was talking to my sister on the phone while i was in line to get Jack when her bf called to say there was a tornado warning, She clicked back over and we cracked up about it. Then a minute later my mom calls and is screaming at me to get out of my car and get inside a building!! Sure buddy, let me pull out my 3 kids who have no shoes on and leave my 5 year old outside with his teacher and class. Hello?!? This is orange county, not Kansas. By the time I got home I turned the news on and couldnt believe what was on. Breaking news on every channel, emergency alerts interrupting the news saying exactly what time the tornado would hit which area. ok weird. I had all the kids playing in the hallway so they were away from doors and windows. It was so weird. Tuesday was the only tornado day but we had some sweet storms the rest of the week. Friday I went to pick up Jack, no rain at the time but the teachers were shoving them in cars before it started. Well as I pull out it starts to drizzle. I drop off Cole, its sprinkling a bit harder. I pull up to the house and Im thinking "I can park out front rather than unloading them into the garage like I had been all week so they wouldnt get soaked". I take a uturn, park and it rains a tad harder. I tell the boys to run to the front porch and stand outta the rain. I crawl in the back seat to get the girls out and all the sudden it starts pouring!!! NOT just pouring but HAILING HARD!!!!! (yes thats a piece of hail on my front doormat in that picture haha) So for the next five minutes Im stuck in the backseat of my car with the two girls while my poor boys stand on the front porch. HAHA i open my door just long enough to yell "BOYS LOOK ITS SNOWING!!!" and I am getting pelted by hail!! I closed the door really fast. LOL Holy crap it was a sight. I got outta my car when the hail stopped and just made a mad dash. Ya i was soaked. Cant really tell by my pictures but for southern california, it was CRAZY!!!! I just took these standing at my front door. LOL Im sure all you people back east are cracking up laughing at us right now hahahah

AGAIN... REALLY?!?!?

Luke lef thursday to go to Tahoe for Bmoes bday. I stayed back to hang with the kids, and had a really fun weekend planned for us! Friday night we were picking up Hunter and heading to Disneyland. Saturday morning we had a football thing, then we were heading to Chuck e Cheese for a bday party. Saturday night we were off to Monster Jam with all their buddies. We had a full agenda for the next few days. HOWEVER, that damn germ fairy strikes again! Screw her and the stupid cloud she flew in on! Im so sick of people being sick, especailly barf, i HATE barf, i would rather have snotty noses, nasty coughs and fevers for two weeks then one night of barf, and when Lukes gone??!!! CMON!!!! Lindsay and Maddie came over wednesday and two days earlier maddie had a stomach bug. Well after 48 hours of being fine you dont think much of it. However 48 hours after that, and after we got to Disneyland and hadnt even gone on a ride yet mind you, Jackson barfs. AHHHHHHH! I take Hunter home, get Jack home and showered and a bed made up in the family room. I put Wyatt right to sleep to keep him as far away as possible. I was up most the night, paranoid. Finally around 230am he wakes up. Not to barf, to pee. But then is wide awake and wants to watch cartoons and eat!!! Finally at 5 or so he let me turn the tv off and go to sleep. Well at 7am I hear Wy screaming in his room, I go in and he barfs in my hands. I almost died. Then all over the bathroom floor before he finally got to the toilet. So threw him in the shower then made him a bed next to his brother with the barf bowl in between. Gross. About twenty minutes later as I am dozing on the couch after only getting about 3 hours of sleep all night, they start wrestling!!! UMMM NO i dont think so. I spent the next two hours yelling at them to lay down and quit touching each other, for gods sake YOU ARE SICK, ACT LIKE IT!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRR! I finally gave up and let them reak havoc on each other while my fat butt layed on the couch all day. So much for our fun weekend. Sunday was spent, cleaning, sanitizing, washing every piece of bed, towel, clothing and floor mats in our house, and trying to get life back in order after the stupid germ fairy spread her magic evil dust all over the freakin place (Think im bitter at all?!?!) PS It rained all week after that so my weekend stuck inside with my kids turned into a full week stuck inside with my kids. Can we say "VACATION?????"

Chasey Pup

Yes call me crazy, call me insane, borderline mental, whatever.... but I got the boys a puppy. (Please excuse the low quality iphone pics lol)When we moved a year ago we had to get rid of Gary dog, our tiny 3 bedroom with no yard was just not fair to our 100lb ball of love. The boys have been heartbroken about it since (mostly Jackson, Wy doesnt have a much of a clue but follows Jacks lead). Lately Jack had been the most upset by it... serious meltdowns, crying about how bad he wanted his dog back, how he just wanted to play with him, etc, etc.... well I had dogs my whole life, this broke my heart. I started looking online at Puggles. I think they are freakin adorable, and they are small enough that not only could we take them wherever we move, but the boys can really take care of it and walk him and take him in the car and all that little stuff boys and puppies do. I found a litter at a shelter in Yucaipa, and the one single puppy they had left was this little cute boy, who actually looked more like a beagle than anything, and not only did Wyatt immediately fall in love but that little boy won me over. We watched him play with Wy and chase his tail and wrestle with the bottoms of Wyatts pants. And I was sold. We took him home that monday, surprised Jackson who was instantly the happiest little boy on earth. And they named him Chase... because he would chase his tail and chase them wherever they would go. Sweetest little pup, and so good, slept through the night in his crate the very first night and every night after that, only had 2 or 3 accidents in the house (all of which happened when Luke was watching him lol), he wouldnt walk on a leash he just would follow us, he chased Wyatt the whole way to school to get Jack everyday, sooo cute... loved him. Oddly enough I think Luke even fell in love just a bit, yes Luke I saw you rock him like a baby and sing the "BABY" song to him :) Well Sunday morning I got up and Chase was not himself, he barely moved, he wouldnt eat, and was making this strange breathing motion. I took him down to the animal er. They immediately put him on oxygen and did xrays and told me he had pneumonia. Then told me not only what it was going to cost to keep this poor pup alive but they weren't even sure if he would make it. I spent 3 hours sobbing in that vet, having no idea what the heck to do, and my mind kept going back to the kids and how they would feel. Ughhh it was awful. Finally I knew that the best decision was to let him go, that poor ten week old puppy couldnt keep going though that. I went home to get the boys, I wasnt going to make the mistake of not letting them say goodbye again. We got there and i hadnt told the boys yet, I wanted them to wait til they saw him then id explain. So the nurse put us in a room and brought Chase in and sat him on the floor on a towel, he immediately got up and walked over to us. The boys pet him and talked to him and finally asked if we could take him home. The second I said we couldnt and explained how sick he was and that Chase wasnt going to make it, Jackson broke down which in turn had me crying. He wouldnt stop sobbing. He crawled into my lap on the floor and just bawled his eyes out. Wyatt didnt really get it, the kid asked if he could get a cat. Which brought a little light into the terrible situation. After about fifteen minutes, they said their final goodbyes and we went home, poor Jack cried the entire way. He wouldnt even walk out of the hospital, he was frozen crying, I had to pick him up and carry him. I was sorta at a numb point by then but I think it was one of the hardest things I have ever went through. As strange as it sounds. I became ridiculously attached but seeing jackson have to go through that after finally being so happy with his new dog was the worst. Its crazy to me how much we loved that little pup after just five days with him. Its been two and a half weeks now and the kids dont talk about it or cry quite as much but we still have good conversations about him. Jack always dreams about him he says, he will wake up and tell me about it or when I tuck him in he will say hes gonna dream about Chase. He has also said if he cant fall asleep at night he sings songs about Chasey pup. And if he gets sad he thinks about when he would chase him home from school. :( I miss him, it still makes me sad, especially when you see his empty crate and toys or his tags we had made him the day before he died. For now they are sitting in the boys room on their shelf. So they can always look at them and remember their cute Chasey pup :)

Do The Fish!

So we were over at the Ritters house a few weeks ago and the boys were having a dance party in the kitchen. Everyones standing around cracking up watching j and Luke dance with the kids. Well i peer in and realize my smallest child is on the floor doing "the fish". It was freakin hilarious. He lays on his belly, puts his hands on his sides and moves them in and out like gills. HAHA Its now the greatest thing ever and anytime he is dancing we tell him to do the fish and he immediately is on his belly sending people into hysterics. Ahhh best kid. LOL

I cannot believe we are in 2010! So crazy!!! You know what that means?!? MY TEN YEAR HS REUNION IS THIS YEAR!!! HOLY CRAP! I FEEL OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy. We had a fun new years. Jake and Kristyn just moved down the street from us and we all went there to celebrate 2010. All 19 kids and 14 adults, 2 dogs, lots of pots and pans and the Malibu flowin.... yes we had a good time! ANDDDDD Jackson had his first new years kiss!! LOL He is gonna kill me for this one day! At one point during the night he went to go give Taylor (who is 3 months younger than Jack and has told her parents she is gonna marry him) a kiss outta nowhere and she kinda backed up like "dude kid get outta my face". Obviously having no idea why Jack was so close to her. Well about 15 minutes later they are sitting on the couch and Taylor just leans in and lays one on him!!! And we all saw!!!!!!! OMG Jack was so embarrassed, and to make it worst Taylor did it again! I almost died. Cutest thing ever. All us parents decided we are in big trouble, BIG BIG TROUBLE soon. Anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! MAY 2010 BRING YOU MORE HEALTH LOVE AND HAPPINESS THAN EVER!
