Butt Drugs anyone?

Nat: “Look Mom! I have a horse. His name is Slaquaater.” (swear that’s what it was.)

Mady: “Look at my horse Mom, her name is girl.”

Regan: “No! I want to be Princess! Oh, I have to pee now.”

When we go to Indiana we always laugh at this. Honestly, if I had been born to this name I would probably have murdered my parents for reproducing at all. I mean, who wants to grow up being called Ms. Butt, or Betty Butt, or Harry Butt(LOL).

I love Indiana!

Some of the fun we had.

Dana and Linn.

Madyson and Dana's son, who I am having the hardest time remembering his name. I told Mady that I liked her boobies and she laughed then said she did too. The Boy leaned his head out to look at them. WHAT IS HIS NAME!!! Corbin? Levi? Noah? It is driving me crazy now. Dalton! That is what it is. Thanks Linn's blog.

My Twins.

Day 3

We went to Huber’s Orchard yesterday. There were games for the kids and animals for them to pet. Goats, Llamas, ducks, geese, deer, rabbit’s, peacocks, turkeys, you name it and they pretty much had it. They jumped on this huge bouncy thing and slid on a slide that was HUGE!!! Fought over who’s turn it was to drive the tractors. I think Conner rode the most. He would just hop on with one of the other kids. Of course Madyson got hurt in the first 20 minutes. It was my fault though. I told her to hold the corn in her hand and the swan would eat it out of her hand. Well, she listened, and a swan did come get the corn, he also just tried to take her whole hand too. Here is the culprit. After that the kids pretty much kicked at them to get them to stay away. Thank God for Linn and her mean voice or they would have just kept coming back for more.

After that she just threw it at them.



We loved the horses.




We can’t forget the goat’s. And the baby twin goats. We should have stuck all the twins next to the little twin goats. Linn, if you go back you should do that. They kept hiding from me so all I could get was their butts








I was feeding the goats and looked up and saw this guy above my head. I moved real quick. Dana had to warn Michael to move so he didn’t get pooped on.




And we got to pet and feed Deer.


Linn was the only adult to jump. The rest of us didn’t want to take our shoes off.

There is definitely more to come but since I leave tomorrow I want to spend some time with my Grandma so I’ll just write more later. Not to mention Tim hasn't had enough sleep so I have to keep an eye on him so he doesn't sneak away to a bed somewhere.



Todays favorite picture. Madyson the goat, Eden the sheep, Regan the horse, Natalie the cow, and Conner the pig.

Day 2

We went to the zoo yesterday and had so much fun. The day started cloudy but at 4, when it was supposed to start raining, the sun came out and it was a beautiful day. The kids had so much fun. They chased geese, rode a train, and freaked out over the possibility of getting locked in the zoo. We went with my cousin Amber and her 2 girls, Kristen and Ciarrah.
I asked the kids what their favorite parts where but they didn’t get enough sleep so every time I look in their general direction they get mad and start yelling and crying, so I’m going to tell you My favorite parts.


1st.
The geese that walked all over the place. They were EVERYWHERE! And they had babies, so anytime my kids got to close they would start hissing and the girls thought that was so awesome. I had to explain, hissing comes right before biting. Here are the geese.

We walked into a territory war at one point and had to hurry the kids past. I’m not sure who won but my vote is for the one on the right.


2nd.
The Peacock! OMG! The males were all about showing off. They were colorful and loud and Tim kept trying to get me too pull out one of their feathers. I ignored him till he ask a kid, then I gave him the stink-eye.




Aren’t they just gorgeous! He stayed fanned out like this for about 15 minutes. Tim had to drag me away so we could eat.


3rd.
The parakeet’s, I think that is what they were. (My FAVORITE part.)

They give you a little cup of nectar, for 1.50 a piece, and you hold it while the birds drink it. They warn you ahead of time not to scream(HA!), or slap at them, or step on them. We were in there 30 seconds before I got attacked. SO AWESOME!!!! You’ll notice Amber cowering behind the net at first, though she finally grows a pair and steps into the enclosure.


I have to say, Non of the kids screamed, even though Kristen wanted to so bad. Madyson handled the invasion of her space very well. And even though he tried many times, Conner never was able to step on one of the birds. The twins just kind of walked around looking at the birds, not really wanting them on themselves overly much. Regan didn't cry and try to get us all away from them either. Big surprise.

Tim was so happy they liked him too. I tried explaining it was only because of the nectar.


Here I am asking the kids if there is something on my head because I feel like something is moving up there. (No, Amy smart butt, it wasn't lice or bugs.)

I love this shot!!!!

The good thing is we all left poop free. The guy that worked in there sounded pretty shocked at that fact.

Now I have to go because I am supposed to meet Linn at 10 and the clock in chiming. I do plan on adding more zoo shots later on but there were just too many to pic from. I ended up with 688 shots on my memory card before it kept telling me "memory card full." I take my pictures on the highest resolution I can because I like to print them off, that is why not very many fit on the card.

My favorite shot of the day! (for today)

Is it vacation yet?

Why do they have to make it so hard? So they get some kind of perverse pleasure out of it? Or are they all just a bunch of jerks?

I have been trying to get my kids in to see a Dr. since 7:30am. Madyson has had some kind of allergic reaction that has caused her face to swell and get red splotches on it. Conner has a snotty nose that is allergies, but I am afraid it is going to cause an ear ache. Regan has poison ivy on her neck and Natalie has ear ache. We got on Tenn Care but no one wants to see us because they don’t accept new patients who are sick. On top of all this I still have to pack for all 6 of us, clean the van, and REGISTER THE GIRLS FOR KINDERGARTEN. Which means going to the Health Dept. to get their shot records on a special piece of paper, go to the school with the 2 that are not in school yet and fill out who knows how much paper work while trying to keep my sanity. Did I mention that Tim has in-service today till about 4pm? Yup, no Tim. I had wanted to clean before I left also, because it’s so nice to come home to a clean house, but now I don’t know if I’ll have the time. OH THE JOYS OF MOTHER HOOD!!! I honestly think I would trade it all right now for an Awesome Mango Margarita. I really didn’t want to risk taking anything really contagious to Indiana around my G-ma or my cousins kids. SEE THIS AMBER AND LINN! I am trying to be considerate. I know it was stupid of me to wait but I honestly didn’t/don’t think they were/are sick. Thought it was just poison ivy and allergies but I just wanted to make sure. I like having all my bases covered and that is hard to do with kids.
Ok, enough of this downer crap.

Madyson loves getting covered in the calamine lotion. Regan too. Conner and Natalie are totally jealous. Conner will squeeze between me and whoever I am applying it to at the moment and stick his little chest out and say, “Mu urn!” (my turn.) Here is Madyson and her lotion face.

Natalie fell last night and hit her throat somehow and for some reason it made her throw up. Weird. Well, Conner thought that was the coolest thing since cheese and decided to give it a try. He leaned over the trash can (like Natalie)and coughed and spit. They took turns. Back and forth. Puke. Cough, spit. Spew. Cough, spit. Oh, fun times. Seriously, Margarita. Any takers? With the Twins I’ll give you 2 for the price of one.

I’d give him to ya but I think his father has fishing plans with him later.


See, they look exactly the same so you would only need one to pretend you have twins.

No takers? Well, I guess I’m stuck with them….. For now. Oh, wait! I just got a call! Goodbye, kid.

P.S. No kids were really sold due to this blog.

Babies/boobies

Amy has asked me if I ever worry that maybe I switched the twins by accident when they were babies and have been calling them by the wrong name ever since. YES AMY!!! All the time. What if Regan is really Natalie and Natalie is really Regan. I don’t remember a lot that first year so it is totally possible. Not to mention when they were in diapers only, or naked straight from the bath, they were SOOOO hard to tell apart. How much would that suck! The first months were hell on Earth so there’s no telling what happened back then. Have I mentioned how much it sucked right after they were born. They were so adorable though. Let me tell ya. Even when they were throwing up on us, and leaking poop all over us, and crying non stop. They were just the cutest little things. I figured since it’s been 5 ½ years(OMG I’m going to cry) then we could just take a walk down memory lane together.

Natalie-right, Regan-left. And the only reason I know this is because of the Bows. God Bless the women in the nursery. This is how Natalie got stuck with pink and Regan with every other color.

See how tiny they were! Linn, I would like to see pics of your boys at this age too. And my cute Timmy Poo is sooooo young here. 22 I think. No 21, almost 22. I’m assuming this is Natalie because I would strategically place their “colors” in the picture so I would know which one I was looking at years later. And Look, I think it worked.

I love this pic. Madyson, Natalie and Regan. They had just gotten done swimming and Regan crashed right after this picture. These pictures were scanned onto the computer so that’s why they look weird.

Fat little Regan. And I only know this because my computer says so.


Here they are at like 3, maybe 4 months old. All you have to do is find the one with the fatter face and rounder head and that is Regan. Guess which one it is? Lol.
I'm sitting here remembering how hard it was and watching “Jon and Kate plus 8” thanking God I don’t have that many.

Here I am at somewhere between 4 to 6 months pregnant. See how happy I look. 20 and the size of a cow. That belly is so pretty though. Now it’s covered in nothing but stretch marks. Yes, I blame the twins for my gross body now. And Tim. He started it all.

I figure Beth and Linn will like this post best cause Beth is obsessed with the twins and Linn has twins. I really just couldn’t come up with anything funny today so I just whipped out the old pics. Here’s something funny. What kind of bees make milk? …………….. Boo-Bees. (boobies)

My Favorite shots

My cousin, Linn, just posted some beautiful pictures on her blog and it made me want to post some of my favs too. So here they are!
