I'm All Made of Hinges Cuz Everything Bends...

I've got a few more Anaxtix pictures for you... The set up of the building doesn't allow for great picture taking... It's really a bummer, but here they are anyways...
Take a peak on the left-hand side of the picture, next to the stairs, little pink girl half on her head half on her feet... There's Kyndi Noodle!

She's the little pink blur on the right side ready to do a cartwheel
Here she is the pink blur that us doing the actual cartwheel
See the little girl crawling like a bear across the ladder? That's Oaklee!!

Man of Many Words

Brutus' two new phrases of the week:



"Oh Muh Wurr" (Oh my word - Tyson says this far too often)

"Utt Duh Heck?!" (This is accompanied by the funniest facial expression, ever)

(Apparently I say "What the heck" far too often)

How Much is That Doggy in the Window?

Kyndi is right now at this very moment outside having a sale, of lady bugs and plums from our tree...

B-B-B Bugs Bugs Bugs B-B-B Bugs

A few days ago we were all sitting around and suddenly Oaklee let out an ear-splitting scream followed by a bunch of panicky noises.. I rushed over to find she had an "ear-wax bug" on her shirt. Wow - it was completely traumatic! I took the bug off her and tossed it outside...end of problem.

Oaklee must get her fear of ear-wax bugs from her grandma Jonan - except that I've recently learned Oaks is also afraid of every other type bug that happens to be in the house --> If it's outside it doesn't seem to be an issue at all, in fact, she'll even capture them with her bare hands outside - but bring the bugs inside and no way! She's terrified! So crazy!!

I do not have a picture of Oaks' freak out session, but here is a picture of Kyndi holding an ear-wax bug for the camera (so we could send the picture to grandma and freak her out of course)

Big Eyed Fish

Look what Dayton caught!!!
Okay so daddy did the casting and majority of the reeling, but Dayton reeled it to shore and was so proud!!

Oaklee had one on the end of mom's pole and enjoyed reeling it in until the fish got far too close to her and she panicked and had a total freak out session. (So of course being the loving, thoughtful mother that I am, I took the fish off the line and held it even closer to her) Hilarious!

The Winner Takes It All

I think I have now voted this picture my favorite of the century, or perhaps decade or year... or moment at the very least. Okay seriously, how does a mom ever decide her most favorite picture... but I really like this one, ALOT
She's wearing Kyndi's swimsuit, and a fancy glittery belt-sashy thingy on her head... she's delightful. Gotta love that hair!

Picture Yourself On a Boat On a River (or perhaps in a garage)

More pictures for my enjoyment... (and possibly yours)

Couple of cuties hanging out on the porch ...Oaklee once again making her hideous face...(and Dayton will be quick to point out that Tate's bum is also pictured...)
The girls hanging out in the fishing boat inside the garage (Kyndi with some delightful look)
Oaks sporting her daddy's swimsuit...
apparently it fits better if you remove your shirt and use the leg holes as sleeves...
This giant body pillow would be Kyndi. She climbed inside and we zipped her in - apparently it was incredibly fun for her as she stayed inside for quite a while..
Dayton gets overly exhausted these days... apparently on this particular day he felt that making the mess on his tray was far too exhausting...

You gotta love watching the early stages of falling asleep though.. you know what I'm talking about... when their head keeps bobbing and they think they are awake enough to get the food to their mouth but continuously miss and hit their eye or nose everytime...

This is how much fun we have in the car going to yard sales everywee in the heat with no AC. Awesome.
Dayton's new request for us randomly throughout the day "potty" which sounds more like paw-yee.. he pretty much sits there for decoration and then he's done.

And this cute thing is what I found at the bottom of my stairs a few days ago...

They Say It's Your Birthday...

Dayton turned 2 on the 10th. Oh so cute!

At our house he is commonly referred to as Brutus, and the name completely fits. He is like a freakin line backer and will pommel anyone who stands in his way without so much as a second thought about it. He quite oftenly knocks both Kyndi and Oaklee on their bottoms. He is a ball of energy, he only has one gear --> and slow it not it. He tumbles from porches to the sidewalk below and it barely phases him.

Brutus is such an entertainer and he knows it... he'll do anything and everything that he thinks is funny and then proceeds to laugh at himself. So freakin hilarious. I could watch this kid all day.

His facial expressions are to die for.

He weighs the same as Oaklee now (despite the 14 month age difference)

He can hear a candy wrapper open from a mile away

He can throw a ball with the best of them - just be sure you are at least 20 feet away as this kid has an arm and many times will pelt you right in the face

He distinguishes his wording between a bay-ball (baseball) and a Baa-ball (basketball) He is Obsessed with all things balls - and that is the understatement of the century!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything is a ball to him. Nilla Wafers=balls. Polka dots=balls. Everything round in the world=balls. It's an obsession.

He also has some bizarre obsession with Kyndi. A very common phrase out of his mouth is "where dee-dee?" He always has to know where she is at all times. When he finds her it becomes "dare dee-dee!"

Favorite food is all things bread.

He is a Mimic - major. He loves to copy everything everyone else does. whether dancing, sitting a certain way, eating habits (dipping, etc...) he's hilarious. Pretty sure I could watch him for hours and never get bored. Seriously.

We love this little dude!!!

Do You Want To Know A Secret

So a few weeks ago marked one year since I celebrated my 29th birthday - happy anniversary to me!!

The kids had all made me cards - so cute. And all day long they'd randomly sing happy birthday to me. (even Dayton) ...And they found numerous opportunities to point out that I was now 30 (not true, I will never be that old) The three littles even made me mudpies outside.
I talked to Kamron a few times that day and there was no mention from him of my birthday... I figured he was just busy. As the day wore on and he got hoe from work - he still never mentioned it. At this point I figured he's so busy all the time he probably doesn't keep track of what day it is real well... no biggy. But then after all the kids were to bed I started kinda wondering what could possibly be the deal - and at that moment he said something to me about one of our shows that we watch was on earlier that night. I said "It was?" His reply "It shows the 24th and that's today so it must have been on" Interesting, he did know what day it was, so what the heck?! Finally I just simplly asked "Kam, do you know what day my birthday is?" His response, "well if today's the 24th, then it's in 2 days!" Awesome. My response "Actually it was today" The look on his face was priceless. What a hilarious day!! We ended up celebrating on the 26th anyways just just so he felt better. Too funny.
