McKenzie will wear her underpants for short moments now. This video was just so cute cause she was dancing with joy for the princess undies. lol

McKenzie's Death Wish

So last night I almost killed one of my kids. My 2 yr old has decided she doesn't want to wear diapers anymore. I know what you're thinking...potty train. No, you see she doesn't want to wear clothes either. She enjoys the natural look if you know what I mean. Last night she took off THREE POOPY diapers. I cleaned the kitchen, hall way and bathroom floor. Not to mention the 3 baths I have to give her because of the poop smeared all over her naked body. Lovely. Well at bedtime she did it again and Mommy snapped. I yelled, screamed, and spanked. I looked her in her adorable little face and said "do not take off you diaper again...do you understand." She looked at me with her big brown eyes and said "note" which is Kenzie for nope. I had to take a deep breath and then walk her to the poop on the new carpet, pointed at it and said "yucky" she agreed. Then made her clean up the mess. In my own head I was sure this wouldn't happen again.
This morning I walk into her room and found a naked baby. I could smell the poop, but she had covered it up so well with the books she pulled from the bookshelf, the clothes she pulled from the drawer and the barbies, which she was now distracted with and enjoying. Needless to say I just cried...then laughed...then took another deep breath and began the clean up. One day I will be able to tell her this story when her kids are doing it. That will be sweet.

Ski trip with Daddy

Bryan took the kids skiing for the first time. This is Katie.

Here is Isaac.


And here are my kids playing buy a dumpster. Nice Daddy!

ARE YOU TALKIN' TO ME?

You really don't know who you're messing with.

Bryan's Scout Camp

Bryan took the scouts on an overnighter to build snow caves. I thought some of these pics were cool so here you go. I'm not sure who this is but it is a really cool picture.


Here are those who went. They got to go snowmobiling.

Ok...so this is how you get into the snow cave. I am a mom of two boys and this just made me so nervous.

Until I saw what they actually slept in. This is why it is better we Mom's just don't know what happens at scout camp. So what happens at Scout camp...stays at scout camp.


Hey Kristen, this pic is so funny. When I saw these of the boys jumping this creek I asked "none of them fell in right?" Bryan shook his head and said "your such a Mom."

What will he say next?

Isaac is taking a sports class at the YMCA, which is a Christen organization. At the end of class the coaches asked the kids to share something that they cared about. Well, my kids said "I care about Jesus..." I was so proud of him until he quickly followed with ..."cause if you don't care about Jesus you go to Hell." Maybe it's a good thing he thinks that. ha ha ha

Do you still love them?

How do I even start with my emotions today? Due to respect for a loved one I can't go into detail with my thoughts, so good luck with this post. I have such a hard time with the anger and bitterness in the world today. Why do we try to hurt those who hurt us? I have to watch someone I love dearly be treated like a horrible person. Her name is being drug through the mud and because she is such an amazing person she is just letting it happen, for the greater good. It is so hard to understand why there is so much hate and meanness. I know people get sick of us religious freaks, but wouldn't it be so nice if people actually did act like Jesus? I am starting to really look forward to the day that Jesus is in charge again and we can just be happy. I know, I know I sound like a Miss America candidate with the whole world peace issue. ha ha ha Seriously though wouldn't it be nice to be able to allow your kids to play outside without worrying some creep with take them. Or to be able to go for a jog all by myself along a beach and know that I won't get attacked. People today seem to be fighting a war within themselves. What's worse is that they don't even see it happening until everyone around them gets so sick of the bitterness and negativity that they all leave. Then what is left? Some day he'll see what he has caused, and it will be to late. I must sound crazy but now it's out there so what ever.
