My Peeps

So I've decided that I like my family. So much in fact that I think I just might keep them for all eternity.

First you have my wife. My dear sweet Elise who I somehow tricked into marrying me and now she's mine forever. She makes me laugh like no else ever could and has more insight into life then even I realize. Plus she's flippin' hot!

Then you have our smarter than average, potty mouthed, absolutely perfect the way they are, children. I don't know why they always end up drinking right out of bottles, but they do. Quite possible it's because they see me doing it, but as my old political science professor used to say, "Correlation does mean causation." Seery can be a handful. Either very stubborn or angelic. She's downstairs right now talking to her dolls. I like it when she tells them that their Dad is going to spank them for being bad as it makes me laugh.

Now to my boys. Aidan is strong of mind and of body and loves the snow. In fact, he's outside more during winter time than in the summer. He'll lay there for 30 minutes and eat more snow than he does fruit and veggies. Liam loves him and Seery more everyday and always wants to do what they're doing. It's scary how much Liam loves cell phones and computers.

So you'll have to forgive my rambling, but I took a vacation day today and Liam's napping and the others are watching Beauty and the Beast and I felt like it.

And don't forget to click on the ads so I can eventually hit the $100 threshhold and make some bank. Peace out yo.

My Wife The Best Chef!

I am not losing anymore weight. Elise's ankle is better enough that she's been cooking again. Ok, maybe her ankle isn't totally healed, but I know for sure that she's tired of me making breakfast for dinner! She made tangy bbq beef sandwiches last night and I ate too much so I am now back over 200 lbs. I love her cooking! She is definately my lovizzle.

Liam's Scared of the Big Bad Wolf!

Ha! Ha! Why is it funny to see your kids cry sometimes and then not so funny when say they're sick or hurt? My newest in-law Justin was the Big Bad Wolf and Kristin was Little Red Riding Hood and their costumes rocked and were very believable.

Wheeler Farm

I wished we lived closer to the farm. Wheeler Historic Farm is always so much fun for the kids and this time the workers let Aidan and Seery pet the piglet (only 3 weeks old). After some shyness they actually did pet the future bacon of McDonald's. The funny part was when they ran away scared because the other Mama Pig got a little ticked and started charging the fence grunting because the workers made her piglets squeal.

We brought hot dog buns to feed the ducks and geese and they flipped out and were attacking our stroller, which of course made Seery freak out and start squealing herself. Quite funny if I do say so myself. It's hard to type with Liam pushing my hand away and trying to get the mouse. What's the point in buying toys if he just stands by the computer and grunts at the mouse.

The Boys.

I do love my boys. And I believe that they usually love me too. Although it is hard to fathom when Aidan is telling me that I am the worst Dad in the world and that he "hates me." Then 5 minutes later he'll be hugging me and begging me to play with him. I appreciate his mood swings. They keep me on my toes. Liam also started having mini-temper tantrums. He'll go to hit whatever with the open palm of his hand and try to bite with his lovely six teeth. He'll also be cuddling with you 5 minutes later so I'm not too worried about either of them. I'm amazed that I have sons to raise and hope and pray that I'll do alright at it. I'm pretty lucky though in that I have a guiding voice (my wife) who hesitates not to point out what I can do better. Thanks Hun!

Our Family at Kristin's Wedding.

Wow! What an amazing wedding the my sister in law Kristin and Mr. Justin Pribble had! It was a blast to be with friends and family. Everything and everyone was so beautifully decked out in thier best that it defies description. I'm typing right now with a very sick Aidan standing next to me growling about how he is "so bored." He has strep throat and a pretty bad cold.

Anywho, it was a perfect day for a wedding and both the bride and groom looked amazing and truly in love, which is all that matters at the end of the day. I thought I'd post some pictures of us all standing as Elise has been in bed for 4 weeks after having ankle surgery (she also was diagnosed with strep throat and a sinus infection). How lucky am I to have such a beautifully sexy wife who somehow has decided to stay with me through all of my painfully incompetance.

I love it when it gets real quiet in the house and then I hear Seery yell "Woohoo" and then she jumps from 5 steps up all the while talking to herself or her "imaginary friends." Their names are "I'm not telling you."

I'm a little scared at how cute Seery is when I think about her being older and a teenager. Those boys had better watch it because I will follow them and if they dare park their car to watch the "submarine races" as my parents called it then out will come the paintball gun I'll someday buy for that very purpose.

Liam is Mobile!

Liam finally crawled for the first time on September 28th. He's been sitting on his bum for about a month now getting up on his haunches, but has just been too scared to go anywhere. Maybe it has something to do with him faceplanting a few time right on his little button of a nose. It's fun to walk into his room in the morning and to see him sitting up in bed jabbering away.

Now we just have to babyproof everything and teach Aidan and Seery some more patience so they don't kill the poor child when he crawls over and starts eating their toys.

Of course Elise is bummed out because she's in bed for 3 weeks after having ankle surgery to repair her ligament and a torn tendon. We did get Liam to crawl in her room with her Blackberry Curve as bait. For everyone wondering - Elise's surgery went perfect, but she's in a ton of pain.
