A bunch of stuff that is funny to me WARNING may contain nudity

Did you know that President Obama is Addie's uncle? I didn't know that either. But Addie insists that he is for sure her uncle. After a few days of trying to convince that she is not the niece of the president of the United States, we have just decided to play along. We now lovingly call him Uncle Obama.
It is so funny to me to see how obsessed she is with him. Pictured above is Addie looking at photos of Obama on the computer.
My dad is in Washington DC right now and Addie told her kindergarten teacher that her grandpa was staying in that big white house with her Uncle Obama.

This picture is proof that once in a great while Peyton and Trey enjoy each other.

I just couldn't resist snapping a picture. Sorry about the nudity, especially since I am a repeat offender.



Trey is obsessed with Legos. He carries at least one around the house at all times.
Trey was eating a piece of bread and spit it out on the floor. I got all upset and was lecturing him. He looked at me and said " Mom, does that make you gross?"

perhaps the strangest post yet

Life is interesting with a sister(Kristine) with special needs. Sometimes we do things way out of the ordinary to make her happy. For example: Today, two of Kristine's dolls got married. We had a big dinner and ceremony followed by a dance. Maybe the oddest part was that my mom appeared to enjoy this even more than Kristine. The lovely groom and bride, Jake and Emily
The tables

The flower girls

Mayor DeGraffenried performing the ceremony, with Phil and Kristine assisting the bride and groom. Jake and Emily also exchanged wedding vows

This event was definitely odd. However, the most fun and memorable parts of life are doing things out of the ordinary and what a bonus if it makes someone else happy.

We tried a different kind of extensions. The curl is really bouncy. Addie loves it.

word of the day

Trey the little sneaky sneakster procured my diet coke. When I caught him and asked him what he had to say for himself he said "mmmmm Goodlicious!" I think this word is a keeper.

tub disaster!

Landan loves to take baths, especially in our jetted tub. Every Sunday morning I always know he will be spending a good amount of time in the tub. Last Sunday, I went in the bedroom after he had bathed and my feet sloshed in the carpet. I wondered how on earth the carpet in our bedroom got so wet. I started grabbing towels and soaking it up. The water just kept coming.
To make a long story short, the plumber came and diagnosed the problem. The motor had a crack in it which caused the water to leak through the walls and into our bedroom. It will hopefully be fixed by this afternoon. But what a mess!!
We had to cut a hole in our wall so the plumber can fix the tub and we very possible need to replace the carpet. This really STINKS!!
