We got together and celebrated Lindsey and Jenasie's birthdays the day before Mother's Day at my Dad's house. It was lots of fun and good to see everyone and let the kiddo's play. Good food, great company and we played PlayDoh Pictionary. It's always a good time when everyone is together!

And by the way, we have one obvious prego (Lindsey) and YAY, Jenasie is expecting too! Lots of little people coming to the family! Congrats girls!

Earl Update

Well it has been several months since we posted about our little friend Earl the Squirrel. Since that last post, we have managed to make great friends with Earl. He now comes up to our back door and stands on his hind legs and hands up like he is begging like a dog. He actually is begging. He comes because we feed the little dude. But he will see us in the kitchen and come up to our door and look in until we come with the handful of nuts. He has gotten so comfortable with us that he will now eat right out of our hands like a pet. He isn't as nervous as he was when we first met and doesn't run away at the slightest movement anymore either. We can call him to let him know it's safe to come get the food. He is quite the little friend! He also doesn't run away with the nuts to eat them anymore either. He will grab them from us and sit right in front of us to eat (he used to grab and run). So here are some good pics of our buddy.

Rocker Man

I just thought I'd share these pictures. Drew has been quite the rocker lately. He loves listening to Dallin's i-pod and rockin' on his "Guitar Hero" as he calls it. His face in these pictures lets you know how serious he is when he is rockin' out. Serious business around here.....

WHY??

So I had Drew potty trained a LONG time ago. Now for the past 2 months or so he has decided it is too much for him to get up in the night and go so we have had lots of wet beds and started putting him back in diapers at night.

UGH!

I am so frustrated! Why has he gone back? Not only did he start the nighttime problem a while back, but then he started randomly having "accidents" in his undies during the day. "It was just a little bit" , he says.......

DOUBLE UGH!

Then he starts getting to the toilet more, but waits until it is an EMERGENCY and is peeing as he is pulling his pants down in the bathroom leaving me with pee all over the toilet and floor and wherever it happens to land.

Want to CUSS now!

Now here is the kicker: This little turd has started running outside during the day. I think he is going out to ride his bike or play. Yes, he does do those things, but he ALSO runs outside, pulls down his pants and PEES OFF OUR FRONT PORCH! This little habit started last week at some point and he won't stop. If he can run to the front porch, why can't he run to the bathroom? Why is my child all of a sudden having this peeing issue??? Is he emotionally disturbed? WHAT'S WRONG HERE??? Any input would be great.
