Not Me Monday

i have been following a fantastic blog here and we are starting a new tradition called "not me monday" i am hopping on this bandwagon and hope to see you joining me soon.



i did not have 3 pieces of french toast this morning (after shad went to work and KJ was in school)covered in homemade raspberry jam AND syrup. that is nasty and would be way too much sugar at one sitting.

i so didn't go to walmart after shad got home and walk around aimlessly just to get out of the house.

i didn't buy 2 hideous light up t-shirts for sam just because they were on clearance for 5 bucks.

i didn't try to listen in on a phone conversation that was accidentally being picked up on my cell. how rude!

i totally didn't drop off KJ at school bra less on friday. i am way too well endowed to do that! what if i got in an accident or something? i guess i would have some good airbags then.

i didn't give sam a piece of pepperoni and sausage pizza for lunch instead of his nasty green beans. how unhealthy could i get?

i didn't take a nap for an hour and a half today instead of calling insurance companies for work. how irresponsible! i also didn't tape family feud while not taking said nap.

Happy Birthday Addie and Welcome Home Gavin

Happy 1st Birthday(on the 17th)Addie!!!



it was so much fun celebrating Addie's first birthday at gr. and gr. wall's. How fast did this last year go? Wow! She is so darn cute, and we love her a ton!

..and welcome to the family Gavin! Gavin David was able to come home from the hospital and is doing well. He looks so much like dad (grandpa Wall) it's scary. I keep thinking of uncle Dean, cause dad looks so much like him. I had a great time holding him, made me want another right now. I know, I know, but seriously. I would love for Shad to give me the ok, and I would be there.




KJ started flag football this week. he and i were pretty nervous cause we really haven't practiced much; just some catch and some plays with Grandpa Wall. i was completely stunned at how great he is. it was like he was a natural. he had 2 interceptions, and pulled the flag twice. it must be the Wall genes. lol





oh, and Sam. i can't kiss him enough. he is getting so silly. i swear his little personality is so funny. he is now trying to climb into his walker, then once i put him in, he tries to climb out. he is such a great eater. i swear anything you give him he will shovel it in. i love it!except he LOVES beans, which totally kills me. i hate them, not just a little, but a lot. opening a can of those nasty beans and draining them and cutting them in half leaves me heaving and wanting to head for the bathroom to vomit. i am not even going to let him try tomatoes. i really think i would hurl if i had to cut one of those up to give to him.

Sam

Friday while I was hard at work, Sam was being exceptionally quiet... and yes, I have moved the dish soap into the laudry room.



he has been trying with no luck to open this for a couple weeks now, but couldn't quite figure out he had to move over a little bit to actually keep it open.

This is his new "relaxing" pose.

KJ


K-mom, next year when i start 4th grade, can you ask the teacher to call me KJ?
me-yes, do you want me to write a note to miss threet and ask her the same?
K-yeah
me-do you want us to call you that?
K-yeah
me-ok, i will start calling you KJ
K-if you don't feel comfortable doing that, it's ok mom, you can still call me kelton, i still like my name, but i think KJ sounds cool and i feel more comfortable when people call me that.
me-ok. do lots of people call you that?
k-a lot of my friends do. i didn't tell them to, they just do
me-ok, i will start calling you kj, kj
k-k, thanks mom

on a side note, shad picked out his name, and i think he is a bit bummed, so i don't know what he will do, but if those of you that read this, will start calling kelton kj he would like it. he has talked about it for a while, and now i guess he wants to go by that.:)
