I have a normal 2-yr-old!
We've been very blessed with our four children. The older 3 are very well behaved and I'd like to say most of the time they do what they are told the first time. As for the last one.... well I think I got a normal one. This is last week alone:
Monday: He colored on the tan wall with red crayon.
Tuesday: I found about 15 gum wrappers in the garbage and woke up to Brad scrubbing the head board right above my head at 7a.m. so I wouldn't get gum in my hair.
Wednesday: The minivan day! (Read previous post)
Thursday: Blew out a candle then spread the black wick all over the counter. (I need a new Mr.Clean Magic Eraser)
Friday: Spilled the popcorn then preceded to run over it with his rocking horse. Later ran away from the other kids with the toothpaste which ended up on the carpet.
Saturday: Found candy wrappers stuffed in the rubbermaid containers. (little monkey climbs the counter when no one is looking)
This one is definately Brad's child and he knows it. He gets to come home and laugh, but after all day with this preschooler I'm exhausted. I know it could be a lot worse, but he's lucky he's so cute and funny!

Holy Hannah-Montana!!
So, we have a Pontiac Montana minivan. (I know, not on your dream car list, but what do you do when you have four growing kids. And they're all too practical, you know. The van is.) Anyway, Wednesday morning we wake up to a flat tire. Luckily Brad noticed it at 7a.m. when he was about to leave for work and put the spare on for me. But the spare was quite low also. So he says go straight to Big-O this morning before you go anywhere. But of course I had to drive the kids to school on the way, then Drexton and I spent the next 2 hours entertaining one another in their all-but-clean waiting area. (I needed an oil change too, so as long as we were there, right?) We did meet a very sociable 4-year-old named Kaitlynn. Yes, sorry to Andy and Drexton, we would have rather been at preschool.
Later that day.... Me and the two little boys go to Marshall & Brittany's to help out with the new baby and change sheets, laundry, etc. (She just had her pacemaker replaced.) We go to leave and the boys beat me to the van. You can picture the seen with your little monkeys pretending to drive and lock mom out. Tell me you've all been there right?
Little did I know Drexton the 2-yr-old had stuck the house keys in the ignition. Now, supposedly this is a security device so when I stuck the real van key in it would not turn the motor over. Thank goodness for wonderful family, who works at Brent Brown, they towed the van off at 5p.m. last night to tear into the steering column and reset the key slot.(There is a fancy word, I just forgot.) It is still under warranty, yeah! And I'm driving Brittany's Hyundai Sonata, quite nice actually, but won't fit us all.
But wait, Brad drives a Buick LeSabre! That does fit all 6 comfortably.

Happy Birthday Taggert!!
Taggert turned 6 on Nov. 1! I can't believe it. My third child is in Kindergarten. I tell Brad all the time, I wish I could freeze the kids right now. They are all so cute and I'm loving the stages they are all in.
Taggert gets to share his birthday with his cousin Aubrie. On Sunday, (Nov.2) we had all the Brower's over for dinner and cake and ice cream. Jen made this cute Hannah Montana guitar cake. Tag was okay with that, he does know all the songs and doesn't mind watching the show with Addie.
All Taggert wanted to do for his birthday was go riding 4-wheelers. It was the day after Halloween, if you remember the weather was perfect. We rode just west of the Payson dump for about 2 hours, went home to clean up, dinner at McDonald's, off to Kmart for Tag to pick his present, then to Blockbuster so he could pick a movie. We all thought it was a perfect day!

Are you on the right blog?
Are you confused? So was I! Apparently I left my camera at Brooke & Brad's two weeks ago. When I picked it up and downloaded my pictures I came across this first one and said "What the..?" Then I kept scrolling through and it made sense. These little decorations were on top of Brooke's T.V. stand. I knew I had seen them somewhere but couldn't remember where, or why I would take a picture of them for that fact. Thanks Brooke, love you guys!!
