The Joys of Boys

Ok, all of you realize that I'm surrounded by boys all the time, right? 3 little boys, 1 big boy, 2 boy kitties......and me the lone girl. Sometimes this is good. Lately, I've been not so sure. I am getting more and more grossed out as these boys get older. Now the older ones like to teach the youngest all they know too. I'm constantly bombarded with passing gas and burping. Then there are all the many names for private parts that keep popping up (tenders, junk, nuts....you get the idea). Maybe it is because I grew up with a sister and no brothers?? Maybe I don't have that great of a sense of humor?? I don't know. Some days it is just too much and I want to run away!

But then look at how cute they can be (see above photo)!! Is this the blessing and curse of boys??

"Above All"

Last week we had the great opportunity to join my Brother in Law on the flight line at Nellis AFB. He is here visiting from Seymour Johnson AFB in North Carolina (where he is stationed now). We got to get up close to the F-15 jets and watch them take off. Fun times! I think Ryan had the most fun of all of us. Thanks Sgt. Brown & thanks to Meredith too!

Tax Talk

Ok, so I haven't posted lately. I have a really good reason.....taxes. In case you don't know, it is tax time again (I know, already!) and I am working part time for Intuit in the Turbo Tax Live Community. Anyway, that cuts down on my "free time"....wait, did I really have free time before? The cool thing is that I get to work from home (sometimes in my pjs!) so I can do it around the kids' schedules.

So, I will try to post as much as I can, but don't be too sad if you don't see many new things. April 15th....here I come!!

P.S. The previous was not an ad for TurboTax. :-)

The New Toy

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Here are a few snapshots to recap our Chaotic Christmas. Sorry I haven't posted more lately. It is crazy here with the kids and new toys everywhere. Of course add in me working part time and it adds up to insanity!!
