Wait a minute.....
I'm pretty sure blogging has made me a worse mom.
The other day I took Jane grocery shopping. She threw a GIANT fit and I could not get her into her car seat. The tantrum was over cheetos by the way, I wouldn't let her have any because she started crying and running away from me in the store. I spent several minutes trying to get her into her car seat and Heath was still in his car seat in the grocery cart by the car. I couldn't put him in the car yet for fear Jane would run out in the parking lot. Finally, I put her in the car and shut the door, ran over to the other side and buckled him into his side, jumped into the driver seat so she couldn't drive away and let her wild rumpus end. I just sat there and let her wind down which took a few more minutes and then she was FINE, just like someone had flipped the tantrum switch on and then off 15 minutes later. SO the reason blogging has made me a worse mom, is that I noticed that I had my camera in my car during this drama and I thought, hey, I'll take a picture and put it on my blog.
Is that bad? Although Marci (Wes' mom) made Wes wait until she got a good shot of him after he pulled the Christmas tree on top of himself and that was way before blogs. And Marci is a wonderful mother!
These Aggie pics are of their last home game, it was a great game and Carroll's last home game, after three minutes Jane turned to me and said, "I'm tired of clapping." I should also let you know that she claps with her thumb in her mouth, I should have gotten a good picture of that.
With Carl and Fisher, Dave and Marci at the Aggie game
Dad and Jane. Dad's a true Aggie!
More Aggie Fans, Ian and Oliver, Jane's cousins.
Snowmobiling Trip in Logan last weekend.
Playing 'Apple' while everyone else was snowmobiling.
The pool was outta commision.
Jane even gets her cousins into playing pricesses and tea party.
Jocelyn knows how to wear a crown!
Oliver or "Prince"
I overheard Jane say, "Prince I love you" and Oliver obligingly replied under his breath, "I love you too, Miss."
What a good sport!
The Crew
Kaden and Jane, they are good buddies!
Russell and Jane playing Polly pockets, Russell is a sport: ) he takes such good care of Jane. He loves to pick out her clothes and do her hair, she is his life-sized dolly. 
After I got home and went to post this, I realized I had no pictures of Kara's kids! How the...? Amy, Ryli and Kaden belong to my sister Kay, they came and helped me out this week. I will fix this post, but for now take it as is.
I label this photo as "Jowls". Do I have the market cornered on cheeks or what?
I can't help but notice that many of my blogging friends are in the throes of potty-training and as a veteran, ok as someone whose two-year-old finally decided to go in the potty, I feel compelled to tell you the two main secrets to perfecting your potty-training.
Next, clap your hands two times
Finally raise your hands high in the air and wiggle your fingers. Close your eyes, stick out your tongue and waggle it side to side. It should look roughly like this:
Yeah you just did the pee dance!
The Poop Dance
First, clasp your hands together
Then bend over and wiggle your behind ...
from side to side
That's the poop dance!
Good Luck!
and a super-fun summer, he has folded laundry and watched Cactus Jack so I can escape for a couple hours. And he did NOT do it in the name of Valentine's Day, that's the best part! He does however refer to housework as "choreplay"
This is across the street, they had to bring in a backhoe to clean up our cul-de-sac, it just kept shrinking.
I know, Jane's birthday was like three weeks ago, but I hadn't gotten to make her cake yet, so it was a fun project for us the other day. And she has been getting dressed herself this week, she loves this shirt.
Making the Bed always seems a little harder and a little lumpier lately.
Did I mention my little boy is adorable? Well, judge for yourself. And the faces babies pull are so great : )
