I like the UMPQUA river, the only one that if a shark was to come and get me, I would be able to see it first, so clean and clear, ohhhh it is beautiful! You guys buy UMPQUA icecream right? Mmmmmmmm

I have never heard of it. Im on the Ohio. We don't swim there...

Come and visit me when we are more settled and up the river more. We actually live on the McKinzie River but I like to go camping on the UMPQUA!! Dustin has a boat but I don't dare leave the land!

EDIT:::::::: what does he think I am, a fish??

EDIT:::::::::OH I could have triple posted but didn't! It is beautiful here and I think I need to eat so soon or later you will have to see me again! Hugs to you all.

I love being on he boat... we go to Nolin for the summer. Its warm and peaceful.

6 more greenies and I get a little box!! Yay!!

Morning People hope you all have lovely weekends xxxxxxxxxx

Woo hoo I'm babysitting at 70o in the morning... lol... had to be here at 630, my little one was like.. what the heck, mom's up before 9?

Hello everybody,

Hope you all have good weekends too.

Oh, Laura. It is too too early in the morning but we are making a drive to visit the in - laws. For breakfast. Guess what, hour and a half drive. Somebody said to me that I should get them to come up here more often. I said no way, if I do that they will want to move up here and we would never have any peace. Lol

Anyway, Guess I will tough it out and put some good music on and hope Joshua does not get too cranky because of the change in routine.

I can see his gums bubbling up. All the gums on the top are all bubbling up and swollen. I swear to you it looks like all his teeth are going to pop out all at once.

Guess I should get the whiskey out, Just kidding.

Love you all.

Joe and Superbaby family.

P.S. At 8 months everybody is telling us he looks like he is a year old. When he sleeps now, he sleeps on his side and has he's legs and arms spread out like he wants to fly. Soon I tell my superbaby, soon.

Joe

AWWWW, Joe, music always helps me on drives. Little Joshua could use a little pain reliever. We never gave it to our kids unless they had a fever or we knew the pain was more than a baby pain. I like the whiskey thought for the gums that is! My grandma did it for all of us and all 6 of her kids. I never tried it but I did try the homeopathic teething tablets, they didn't work for my son but they work for other kids. Grady was our first, 12 years ago, he will be 13 in July, I cannot believe he is an old kid now. I miss him. Oh well they are all precious and I can't just squish them down to make them stay small, right?

For the drive, have you ever just brought a roll od tape and given him a long piece and see what he would do with it? I used to make tape balls and the kids loved it. I forgot about that, I should start doing that again, four kids bickering is very annoying.
I am up 2 hours early and I don't know what to do with myself!

Hehehehehe I'm half asleep I've been a lazy bum today :D and I've loved it hope your all well.

Joe enjoy the attention you get when you reach the in laws I'm sure breakfast will be worth it.
Al what in heavens name are you babysitting that early for??
Start mmmmm I like the ball idea but I think she will just get cross because it won't come off be amusing to us though lol

Well my pea finally got her Thing 2 out of bed, LOL, isn't it almost time to get back into bed?

Her father had an estate sale today.

Im pooped I could sleep forever lol

Me too... 3 kids is far different from one... lol. esp. before 10 o clock..

Yes, you guys take a good rest. Hugs and sweet dreams!

I don't understand? It could be the sleep deprevation...

Well Laura, you were not kidding about all the attention. They would not let us leave. We got there at 10 : 30 am, and we just got back at 11 : 00 pm.

Everybody, it was unbelievable even with the break in routine he was very excited and happy and loved the attention from everybody. There were six of us all together giving Joshua all the attention. The one cousin was encouraging Joshua to walk. Stood him up and leaned him forward while hold his arms a bit and kept telling him to step. He eventually did walk towards him.

He loves the dancing and spanish music. Spanish loves the dancing and loves the music so we listened to lots of spanish music and Joshua was bouncing up and down and moving his hips and kicking his feet. They think he is going to be a dancer. Lol

Yes, it was a very good visit but very tiring too, especially after driving. Kept the air cool in my face and music on and had coffee before I left.

Hope you all are having a great weekend.

Start - Excellent idea for playing.

J9 - like your titties, well not yours, but the cows. Lol

Al- how did the baby sitting go?


Well I am going to be an idiot and stay up and watch a movie before going to sleep. Sleep deprived, being my own fault. Oh, well.

If I slept and slept how could I have time to plan to take over the world. Hee Hee.

Joe

Hahahahahaha all grandparents are the same Joe ;) you get absolutely floaded with attention and its lovely but its great to get away too lol

Laura, we were actually at my wife's Aunts place. So it was the aunt and three cousins lol. They are all spanish and they just go all crazy over the baby lol.

The grandparents unfortunately not so much in the picture, on both sides of the family.

We have plenty of other family members to make up for it. I was going to mention why, but I guess all that matters is the people that are in his life are full of love.

(;

Joe

It doesn't matter who they are your quite right :)

Been busy I'm emptying the kitchen hehehehehe what a nightmare I had no idea I had so much stuff

Yeah thankfully we didn't have it done last month as the landlord had to remove half the ceiling to find a leek in the bathroom lol so he is hoping to do the new ceiling in the next two weeks then its time to sort a date for the kitchen witch to be honest I just want it dne and out the way.

Good Morning Ladys and Joe,

Ive woken up with a raging headache oh the joys of the secret ;)

Hope your all well and had lovely weekends xxxxxxxxxx

It was a really good weekend. Except for last night. Joshua screamed like bloody murder in his sleep. Scared the ---- out of us both. It was louder and high pitched never heard it before. OMG. I guess, it could have been gas pain, or teeth or both but it was so scary.

Other then that,

Good morning everybody.

Laura if your starting to get headaches from keeping that secret you know what to do. Lol

Well I hope that Ty, figures out that you stole his credit card to get yourself a new kitchen and that being on television is not going to be that much of a secret now, is it. Lol

P.S. Yesterday I discovered the art of making homemade pie, and it actually came out pretty good. Yummy yummy.

How was everybody else's weekend??

Oh my word Joe if ty was here to sort my kitchen I would have a fit with my legs in the air lol

I hope your kitchen comes out very nice. I love the kitchen, it is where we all gather and no matter how many comfy chairs are in the family room, we are always sitting on the hard kitchen chairs or standing up talking... Maybe I should put the living room furniture in there?? Naw, I wouldn't dare. Good morning everyone! What a nice long weekend in the sun and water. Have a wonderful day!

The kitchen will be lovely its just the mess I'm not looking forward too but it won't take that long as there isn't that much of it.

Hope your das are going OK lots of hugsxxxx

I can't make a pie crust that works to save my life. I never quite get the right consistancy.

I'm so tired of being insanely busy. I don't mind keeping busy, but this is just nuts.

I need a 210 day weekend.

What is making you so crazy, Synnen? What would you do for 210 days, you would get bored and run out of money. You got to work it is IN YOU!! Hee hee

I'd probably catch up on sleep for about 30 of them, do some baking and cooking and playing in the kitchen some, have a clean house every day, maybe learn how to make a pie crust, get my pictures catalogued, my doll house painted, my plants transplanted, my house dusted... stuff like that.

I'd also get back to doing volunteer work, which lately I'm just too exhausted to do.

It's just work that has me stressed... how sad is that?

Very sad. I didn't know you are working on a doll house, how sweet is that? All of this stuff you say you would do, well I have to agree I would too. Volunteering is something I need to make time for. Darn I wish this was your job!

Hehehehehehe syn have you built the dolls house from scratch?

I got the dollhouse from Mr. Synn our first Christmas together. It's been in storage many years, as we've moved around so much. I don't even have the outside painted completely yet! (painting trim is HARD when it's tiny). I have a few pieces of furniture that I've picked up over the years, and I have the floors for 2 rooms, and I have the shingles, but still need to stain them and put them on. I figure it will take the rest of my life to actually FINISH this dollhouse, but it's a labor of love, too.

Very, very cool... I think it is a wonderful labor! Try and have a wonderful day today, when someone pisses you off just smile and say thank you. If that doesn't work, do you remembemr where you put the margarita mix in the break room?

Someone stole the tequila, so the margarita mix ain't even going to help. Plus, I had too many southern comfort old fashioneds this weekend.

I'm crazy, and y, and insane... but I'm not smoking!

Hehehehehe my mum built a lovely dolls house we bought it for a her 50th 9 years ago the roof is what got her all those little wooden shingles hehehehehe

Yeah... I'm not looking forward to that (the shingles).

The big thing for me right now is that it's already assembled. Painting the trim when it's already attached has been HORRIBLE.

I went to a dollhouse exhibition once, and you wouldn't believe the things people do with them. Running water and fountains and electricity with little bitty switches and outlets... just amazing
