Roan's shiner
He came out of my bedroom with this nice looking shiner. I was a little distressed until I wiped it and it came off. Make-up goes above the eye - Roan.

Can anyone relate???
Things I never imagined I would find myself saying as a mother of a 1, 4, & almost 6 yr old...
- both of you stop licking each other. One of you is going to have to stop.
- please take my underwear off of your head.
- DO NOT jump/stand on the baby.
- Hunny that is called a turning lane and you can't drive in it
- please let mommy drive and stop telling me how to.
- I promise I'm going the right way
- No I will not get you your own (insert color here) t.v./ computer.
- Get off the table and put your pants back on

Okay, so I'm not what you would call technologically inclined. but I do have better reasons for my serious lack in blogging. My computer has been out of commission for a few months and well, I have discovered what a life I can have when I'm not on it every break I get. So, I haven't been in too much of a hurry to reinstall the software and get it up and running. I will, however, soon be doing a recap on all of the exciting events of the summer for our family. Which basically amounts to either vacations, or keeping indoors to avoid heat exhaustion. Okay and some swimming and water parks as well.
Until then, here's a cute story about my so sweet little Aston. I was making dinner one night and, as happens on rare occasions, he was sent to his room for a time out. When I went in there to let him know he could come out, low and behold, he wasn't there. I found him playing happily as ever in the toy room. I explained to him that he was supposed to be in a time out, to which he kindly explained to me that I was supposed to be in the kitchen. . . . The funny part is, he really meant it. He wasn't trying to be sassy, it was just very matter of fact. I tried my hardest not to laugh, but I don't do so well at that.

mowing the lawn
I started this one, so I guess I'll finish it and soyou can see what in the world "mowing the lawn" is all about. Here's Roan and his cute little lawn mower and he absolutely loves walking around with it. And if he sees anyone touch it, he is races after it as fast as his stubby little legs can carry him. It's so funny. He's so stinkin' cute.

Christmas
Ryan carries on the traditions he had from when he was a kid - on Christmas morning he makes the kids wait in the hallway for a picture before they are allowed to look at their presents. 
Roan got a few little things and Ryan enjoyed unwrapping them just as much as Roan did.
Jaidyn, of course, is enthusiastic about just about everything she got. She is such a positive little girl. She makes gift giving so exciting.
And then there's poor Aston. He was such a sport. See, his nana and papa have this guitar that he picks up and plays rockstar all the time. He carries around and asks to bring it home. So, I took him to Toys R Us to check out the toy guitars to "see" if that was what he wanted from Santa. From that time on, he want the "fire guitar"(he named because of the blue and black flames). Santa had already picked another guitar for him and when he got it, he started to get excited and then stopped and said "Oh, I wanted the fire guitar"- Strike 1. Then, Santa got him a toy bow and arrows and mommy stepped on them and they broke in half - Strike 2. Last, Ryan and I got him a T-ball set and after a couple of hits with the bat, one of the legs broke on the base - Strike 3! Poor kid. But, he's such an easy going kid, he just moved on to the next thing every time. After the T-ball stand broke, he did say "Oh maaaan". That's about it. It was so sweet. And with transformers, and knights armor, and balls and all of the other fun things, all he really wanted to play with was the little 25 piece puzzle (one of his favorite past-times) and he was totally content for an hour. But, after the whole day was over, when we were coming home, he said so sincerely "I loved all of my presents". It was so sweet. Fortunately, Santa took back his guitar when we mailed it with a pleading letter and he sent back the 'fire guitar'. I don't think he normally does that, but in some rare situations, you might catch him and get him to understand.

Christmas Eve
We open up Ornaments and pajamas on Christmas Eve. Here's everyone accept Ryan in their P.J.'s. Yes, I even bought P.J's for Ryan and I, only because I found the cutest matching pajamas for Jaidyn and I, so I couldn't leave Ryan out. Nerdy, I know, but that's okay - I'm okay with nerdy.

Christmas in February
I'm getting really bad about this updating the blog thing. I know. Here is my lame, but true explanation for it. It's really due to 3 things:
1- Ryan has been studying for and taking the AZ CPA exams, which is great, but puts quite a damper on my life for the time being...all for a good cause though. And he just finished his 4th and final one. Woo hoo. He's passed the first 3, we'll just be waiting for the results on number 4 in March sometime.
2- I've been getting together everything I need to get my application into dental hygiene school, which I did a little over a week ago...YAY! I find out in a month or two.
3- Some of you know I'm technologically challenged, so it's a miracle I even have a blog. (Huh Lydia :)
I little side not to point #3, seriously, I have the attention span of like 30 seconds for the computer and if it doesn't work, I quit or I beg someone to help me. Ryan can attest to this.
Oh, and you're probably wondering why I labeled this like I did. Well, not like it matters to anyone but me, but I still don't have Christmas pictures up and so, needless to say, when I do, it will be in February. Oh well. Christmas in February would be awesome! Two in two months. Okay, well, reliving it in February is great too.
