Going Private

I really didn't want to do this, but have to for my kids sake and for mine. There are way too many freaks in this world. So if you would still like to read my blog, please email your email address to me at sclemme@gmail.com. Thanks!

Blankets, Candy Corn and BeInG sIlLy

We haven't had a whole lot going on, so I am sorry if I bore you with this one...

Every kid has something that they love...RIGHT? Well most kids anyway, maybe a favorite blanket or a favorite stuff animal or a favorite toy. Well Ash has both a favorite Blanket and a favorite stuff animal (MO). The blanket part is not very bad, he doesn't carry it everywhere we go or have to bring it to stores like Elmo has to be. But I have a hard time getting Ash to sleep without his blanket, I can't wash the thing without Ashton taking it out of the laundry room fourty times, I have to take the blanket straight from his room without him seeing and stick it in the washer. Its hilarious! Last night I got Ashton's blanket out of the dryer and this is him...

I bought a thing of candy corn the other day to put in my dish, but somehow it kept dissapearing everytime I wanted to put it in the dish....well I found the thief.

His name is Ashton and he is the cutest baby and I couldn't get mad at him because of his cute little smile, here he is after I said, "Ashton, where is the candy Mommy bought". Ash is talking really good now so he said, "didn't do it, Mama!"

And after everything this weekend, I definately needed a good laugh, well Bob always likes to be silly when we take pictures and so do the boys...

1. I hate my kids being dirty, I probably go through a thing of wipes a day, it drives me crazy and I can't figure out why.

2. I have the weakest stomach, if I see something on TV that is disgusting I will throw up.

3. I can't watch scary movies, because I always nightmares about them and my family ends up in it, its really weird and I just prefer not to have to worry about it.

4. I have a major obsession with pens, I am always buying new pens and it drives Bob crazy.

5. I can't go out without having my hair done and make up on, thats just me!

6. And last, but certainly not least....I have to be home and in bed by 10pm or I am feeling a little weird, normally on a work night I am in bed no later then 9pm, thats what happens when you have kids and you have to get up at 4am.

More Prayers needed

My really good friend Misty and family are needing a lot of prayers right now. Misty's brother Lance is fighting for his life down at the U of U hospital. He has two adorable little girls that need their Daddy. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers and hope for a miracle to happen. Thanks!

It is Misty Merrill (Stratford) and yes unfortunately its Lance. He is really sick, he has had osteomyelitis since he was born and it has gotten pretty bad, its a bone infection, basically its shutting down everything in his body right now. He really needs many prayers, he is in the middle of a divorce and his parents are raising his kids, its sucks! I seriously am hoping for a miracle.

Snakes

So this morning I took the boys back to Syracuse pond to feed the ducks and go for a much needed walk and just enjoy the nice morning and we came across THIS (see below). I hate snakes, I am scared to death of them. But I conquered my fear and I picked the thing up before it got ran over and we carried it to a safe spot.




As you can see, the kids got a kick out of this little creature. We let him go in a field where he is safe from being ran over and my step daughter was upset, she wanted to take the thing home. I told that it was the last thing I wanted her mother calling me or Bob about and told her he was safe.

Pond, Ashton's Hair and "MO" (Elmo)

Today I took the boys to the pond out in Syracuse to feed the ducks. I loved it until Jaxon fell in the water, it was great, but I thought I was going to have to go in after him. We had fun still and I got some cute pics of the boys. I love my boys so much, I am sure I say this often, but they mean the absolute world to me and I love taking pics of them.

Bob has been telling me for about 2 months now that Ashton needs his hair cut...his exact words were "If I can't have my hair long, then he can't either". Whatever! I am having the hardest time with this, because Ash has the cutest curls and blonde hair, he is a toe head and so cute! I just remember cutting Jaxon's hair and its never been the same. So I am doing a vote (on the side) or you can tell me what you think.

Ashton is obsessed with this little red creature, don't get me wrong, I think "Mo" as Ashton calls him is the most adorable thing ever. But he has to go everywhere with us, we go to Grandma's and Mo has to come, we go to the store and Mo has to come, Ashton goes to bed and you better hope that Mo didn't get left anywhere, because Ash will let you know. Its so cute! But I can't believe how attached he has got. Poor Mo had to go shopping with us today, it was hilarious, Ashton would tell everyone is the store. Then yesterday Mo fell out of my Grandma's car and Ash walked around for an hour saying that Mo got hurt. HILARIOUS!!!!

The worst thing about being a parent...

My good friend from work called me this morning to tell me that her son's Best Friend passed away last night. He has been fighting an auto immune disease called vasculitis and took a turn for the worst on Tuesday. She said "Sierra, how do I tell my son?" I don't know, this is the most horrible thing and crappy and worst thing about being a parent is having to tell your kids something like this or be in that kids parents situation of losing their son. I don't know how people handle it but they do, it happens everyday and it just plain sucks. I hope I NEVER experience this, because I don't know what I would do or say. Please say an extra prayer for Cameron's family and my friend Cara and her family, this is so hard. Life is so short, please hug your loved ones and don't go to bed mad at each other or upset, its not worth it.
