It's great to be Eight!

Yes, that's right my little handsome man is #8 on his baseball team. He looks so dang cute and official in his uniform. He really loves this sport. I had been very hesitant to put him in baseball but he really loves it. So what do I know???? If you want to come to one of his games shoot me a line and let me know. Also for anyone that was confused about my April fools joke, it was soap in the shape of a piece of cake. but it was all 100% soap. :)

Whore!

You just gotta love my little Brooklyn. She is the sweetest, cutest, biggest little silly girl you will ever meet. Who I love dearly! Here are just a couple of stories that have made us giggle quite a bit, so I thought I would share them. So we have a pen that is in the shape of a golf club, it is a very fun little pen, and last Sunday I was doing the dishes and Brooke was just in the kitchen chatting to me. She picked up the pen and yells "Whore"....I looked up and see her swinging the pen like she is golfing so I think well she might have mis-spoke or maybe I heard wrong. Then she does it again and yells "Whore" well this time I look at her and say "No the word is FORE not Whore" she says "oh I know I just like the word Whore"....this time I tell her "NO that is actually an offensive word and we shouldn't say that" to which she replied "Oh" she honestly had no idea what she was saying. Ok, so now story #2. At the Schaugaard Easter Party Uncle Jake told Brooke that on a scale of 1 to 10 she was an eleven. She was very offended and huffed off. We thought that was funny all by itself, because anyone who knows Jake knows what a kidder he is, so you are actually wiser to not trust him. But Trav thought he would help explain that this wasn't a put down. He told her "you know when you take a spelling test if you could get 10 points or 1 point what would you rather get?" she says "10" so Trav thinks she is understanding where he is going with this, he says "well if 10 is the most and you are 11, Uncle Jake must think you are really pretty dontcha think?" and she says " So if Uncle Jake was my teacher he would give me 100% on all my spelling tests" I don't think she was following him quite as much as he thought she was. She is the most innocent little girl and I am very happy about that. I hope you enjoyed getting a little glimpse of our special girl!!!! Check back I will be doing quite a lot of blogging this week to catch everyone up on our Spring Break!!!

ApRiL FoOlisHneSS!

Well, another April Fools day has come and gone. Thank goodness! Even with a warning from T-Rav to be careful, I got punKeD twice...not once but TWICE! And YeS once was by my adoring hubby. Ok, here is the run down. T-rav had his boss and a few of his co-workers go out of town on a business conference to Colorado, the lady who was driving got on FaceBook and said that her car had broken down, no joke this really happened, so t-Rav texted me bad news. I immediately called him where he told me that he had to drive to Colorado to pick them up. This seemed completely plausible and so I thought nothing of it....until I was waiting for my kids at the school, when it dawned on me that there are lot's of people who could go pick them up, and they wouldn't need Trav to do this errand. Sure enough they were all giggling like little girls over my falling for their little rouse. So that one was wasn't so bad. Then also at the school waiting for my kiddies, my friend Elisabeth takes out this beautifully wrapped strange looking piece of pink cake. I am not the type to eat new foods easily, but I trust Elisabeth she makes the most wonderful things, that are a little exotic. She next takes out a piece on a toothpick, while asking what kind of cake it was, I pop it right it my mouth. It smelled delicious, well it was soap. I spit it out quickly. Only me and some man fell for it. It took awhile to get the nasty taste out of my mouth. She laughed and laughed. I deserved it, but none-the-less I have had my fill of April Fools day!! Thank goodness I have a whole year to recover!!!
