Life with boys!

I am not sure if this is everyone's life with boys or just mine. This is what I discovered today...

Luke stripped(his clothes were inside in the bathroom) and then decided he wanted to jump on the trampoline. Jake thought nothing of this and didn't think he should let me know. Then after I found him I decided I needed blackmail pictures and so I got the camera and started taking pictures. After a few pictures Luke saw me and said "Mom I naked" gave me two thumbs up and went right on jumping! I grabbed his clothes cause I didn't want anyone calling CPS on me. Some days I don't know if I will survive that youngest one!

Jake is student of the month!

Luke and I got to go see Jake get the student of the month award for determination. He is a good student and his teacher raves about him!

I am seeing stars!

I have been seeing a lot of stars lately (and no its not because of my black eye, that already went away). I am getting ready for the Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet and we wanted stars for decorations. So we got a little paper and I put my cricut and CM star punches to good use. I have cut out 1574 stars so far! The stars range in size from 1" to 5 1/2". Hopefully I won't have to do too many more.

Truth is SOOO much funnier than fiction

OK I could make up a story that Luke threw a toy at me, I fell down or Rob hit me but none of those would be as funny as the truth. My Dad decided I should learn to shoot. We started with the BB gun and Pellet gun. Short of "your gonna shoot your eye out" What could go wrong???
I am generally not a klutz, but we all have our moments. Well I am right handed, but left eye dominant. So shooting the Pellet gun(with a scope) was hard to do. To be able to see through the scope I was in a weird position. Anyways one time I shot and my eye was to close to the scope and I actually gave myself a black eye. It's ok you can laugh it is pretty funny!

My dad didn't want me going home with a bad experience so he took me to the shooting range. I shot a lot of different guns and did good. My dad was smart though, he left all the scopes at home!

Merry Christmas!

The blog is unfortunately as close as the Edwards Family got to Christmas cards this year so we hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. We had fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The boys were excited to see their cousins and teach Grandpa how to play the Wii he got for Christmas.

I can't believe it is December already!

Snowman Trevor, Snowman Luke and Snowman Jake!



Well, we are in the crazy retail schedule once again. As you can tell from the picture above we did get out Christmas tree up (thanks to Rob and the boys while I was at Super Saturday!) except for a box of candy canes we haven't got any other decorations on it. Tonight the cub scouts made snowmen and I brought stuff home for Trevor and Luke to make one also (anyone who knows me knows that I am a sucker for snowmen). The boys had lots of fun and loved their creations. Jake even wanted to sleep with his. Happy December!!!

Today I was on the computer and realized I hadn't heard from Luke in a while. (Usually a bad sign). I started looking for him and found him on the couch buried under all the pillows asleep with only his fingers sticking out. By the time I grabbed the camera he had moved and this was the picture I got.


It reminded me of a traumatic day when we lived in Bakersfield. We couldn't find Luke anywhere. Luke was 2 and by far the worst 2 year old I have ever had. There wasn't a childproof device that he couldn't get out of. Trevor, Jake and I searched the house. We looked in closets and under beds, anywhere we thought he might hide. I wandered the neighborhood calling for him and still couldn't find him. I decided he had been missing long enough that it was time to call the police. Luckily I decided to search the house one more time. I was looking in my room and saw a chip sticking out underneath the drapes. I pulled back the drapes and this is what I found.

I guess our house is so chaotic the only way to get a nap in is to hide!
