some of you may know my obsession with multiples and this just put me over the top!! I am waiting for one of the blogs that I stalk to mention this bc I know they know who she is and I can't wait to stalk her blog!!!

On a side note, I have no idea why I find multiples so amazing. I think it is because I can't even wrap my head around it. Jon and Kate plus 8 has doomed me! My sister, Meg, just pointed out that the mom of 8 just delivered almost an entire pre-school class. CRAZY!

Anyway, just had to write about it bc what in the world is crazier than having 8 babies in 5 minutes.

Seriously?!?!

SIDE NOTE:
I am totally coping this post from my friend Rhonda because I couldn't have said it better myself. Please lift Geoff and Erin up in your prayers tonight and for however long it takes to be praying for a speedy recovery once he gets his liver.

Anyway, here it is.....(thanks Rhonda)

Holy Hell
I know I have many friends who believe in the power of prayer.Please take just a second to read my friend's blog - she (and her hubby, Geoff) could certainly use some lifting up and prayers...

And for the love of God, let your family know that you want your organs donated. And you do want them donated, don't you? Unless it's a religious beliefs thing, freakin' donate them. You don't need 'em when you, umm, you know. Die.

Ok, so now back to me......this is my blog afterall :)
Here are my thoughts on it: HE WILL GET A LIVER. I have no doubt about that. This has to be a bump in the road, one that none of us wanted but nonetheless a bump in the road. I just want it to happen soon so my prayers will be the same as they have been for a long time.....for God to send him his miracle and for them to have peace and comfort until he does so. I mean, he has been on the list for 9 months now....if he was pregnant he would have been induced by now so can't we just get the guy a liver??

Being in the backseat for this whole situation has really brought to my attention the importance of organ donation. I can't tell you how many conversations I have had with Dustin about this. We are on the same page about it but I am making it known to the 2 of you that read this......make sure they take my organs and give them to someone that could use them. God will make me whole again....heck, I am not going to take them with me so use them, share them, spread the love! What greater gift is there than the gift of life?

Pray, hard, now.

The boy loves his bath time.......WARNING: there is a full moon out tonight!

Every night at bath time I turn the water on and then strip down the kids while the tub is filling up. I noticed the other night as soon as the water turned on Bryson made a B-line for the bathroom and then freaked out when I took him out of there to take his clothes off. Hence the pictures.......this is on his journey back. He is pulling up on anything and everything.

Believe it or not, we have had multiple people tell us this week that he looks like he has thinned out some. It must be from all the crawling and pulling up bc the kid eats everything!!!

Inauguration Day

Well hello there Mr. President!

You might be big and importnant but this toy drawer is much more important to me!


Bryson and I enjoyed a nice quiet morning at home watching the inauguration of Pres. Obama. I must admit that I was laughing when he was waving at the TV like he knew them. Maybe he has a career in politics....oh wait, do they look into your parents background too???

(I just noticed that once again he doesn't have clothes on, I swear I dress my kid we just hadn't decided on what to wear yet!)

Hives......

I am covered in them this morning. I swear I look like a mutant. So, I am super itchy and now extremely tired because I took a Benedryl. I swear I feel like I didn't sleep at all now that the medicine has kicked in.

Awesome start to the day......it could be much worse and I know that, however, I still feel the need to gripe about it.

Splish, splash

This photo is rated PG.

This one, not so much!
When I saw this on my camera screen I just had to laugh. There is no denying that this girl loves her brother!! Purely innocent sisterly love!


Raise your hand if you don't want to kiss those happy cheeks......that's what I thought!

You think maybe she should wait for the water to warm up before she dumps it?

I am in love........

Dustin's company gave him some extra reward points for doing such a kick-a** job at work so he ordered the family this new camera! I can honestly say that I have always loved photography and have been jealous of my friends that have the eye for it! This camera rocks and I can't wait to take a class (or at least have someone show me how to use it properly) so that I can use it to its full potential! We have already taken some cute shots of the kids with it. It is my new obsession.

Watch out, I just might snap some shots of you!!!!
