Head Full of Fluff

Today Jack, Lodon, Dane and myself went to Discovery Gateway. We met up with MaRea, Avery and Kaden. It was so cute because Kaden came running in saying "Wheres Jack, where's Jack!!" Jack came calling with his arms wide open, "I'm right here Kaden!!!" Then he hugged Kaden until Kade said, "Ok, Ok Jack!" he was done with the hug;) Jack and Kade had such a good time running around together and I had a WONDERFUL time chatting with MaRea and feeling like an adult again.

Well once we were finished we walked back out to the van and loaded everyone back into the car. It was SO COLD at this point so I was trying to move thing along as fast as I could. I finely get everyone in the van and we were off and onto the highway. I was chewing on some ice when I see a bouncing little head move in my direction. I was so confused!!! What the tar was going on? Next thing I know Jack is right next to me saying, "Mom, can I have some of your ice?" I was going about 75 now and I totally freaked out. I'm thinking, "Why is he out of his seat, who did this awful thing?" Then it dawned on me that it was I, my head was full of fluff and no brains AT ALL!!!! I quickly sent him back to his seat,(without the ice) and told him to not move a muscle. I was scared spit-less! Needless to say we pulled of the highway, ( the twins had finely fallen asleep, that was about to end) and got him back into his car seat.

There are times when my head DOES NOT WORK!!! Today was one of those times:) People always say that when your pregnant your brain fails you and it's VERY true. But I must say that my brain now in contrast to my 1st pregnancy brain losses by MILES!!! I would take 1st pregnant brain over this old thing any day of the week! I am hoping that one day it will work again to it's full capacity and I am aware that this hope is quite delusional but I will always continue to hope for a better tomorrow:)

A few pics from our trip:)

Mothers

"Managing a home and family is no less demanding or time consuming than running a large corporation or pursing any other career. The most successful homes are run by mothers who take their careers as seriously as any top executive. However, instead of dealing with making a product profitable, we deal with making profit of human lives." Linda J. Eyre

I am reading this book called "A Joyful Mother of Children." I am loving it and I highly recommend it, thanks Hannah:)

I think that being a mother is the hardest job I have ever had and it is more important than anything that I have ever done in my life. Yes there are those moments when I think, "What was I thinking?" Then my little boy comes up to me and says, "Mom your a good mom" and I realize that what I am doing is more than just being a mom it's raising a generation of individuals that are our future and that will shape society and that is more important than anything that one could EVER do.

So here are to all you mothers out there that second guess yourselves. You are doing a more important job than any top executive of any prestigious corporation. Your doing the Lords work, a work that nobody but MOTHERS can do.

YUMMY!!!

So I have this amazing friend that took some more pics of my kiddos. Thanks Hanna!! I mean really, could they be any cutter? The bruise on Danes head looks significantly better, poor little mutt. The final pics that I actual print the evidence of the fall will be GONE;)

Going Private

So I think we are going private in the next week or so. I really am not that worried about it but it's probably a smart thing to do. We would love for all of you to keep following along on our little adventure so leave me your email address and I'll send you an invite. Thanks, happy bloggin:)

The WORST Mother In The WORLD Award Goes to....................ME!!!!

About a month ago we were at grandmas house and my sweet little Dane rolled off the couch. It was a short fall and he landed on carpet so he was mostly scared and not hurt. About 3 weeks later while Riley and the kids were playing in the loft Dane decided to continue rolling and he rolled down the stair. This was VERY tragic and very sad but once again there were no bumps or bruises, I guess all that extra fluff comes in handy once in a while. Do ya think that I should be learning something along the way? I am REALLY SLOW!!! Well Dane rolled off the bed last night and it was REALLY, REALLY, REALLY sad. But once again there were no bumps, bruises or ouchies. We just loved him up till he stopped crying, (which by the way wasn't very long at all, this little mutt is a tank.)

Well this morning I was dressing both London and Dane on my bed again, you would think that I would learn!!! But I did take extra precautions, I promises!!!! I had a Bumbo on the bed and while I was dressing the one I would have the other in the Bumbo. I thought I was brilliant....... not so much. I had finished dressing Dane and was talking to him when I realized I hadn't seen Jack for a few minutes which in itself could be devastating so I turned around for 2 SECONDS to call for him when I heard THUMP. I bet you can guess what happened. Little, OK not little but big Dane rolled off my bed. In most homes this wouldn't be as tragic but my bed is pretty high up and we have hard wood floors in our room so it is quite tragic. This time around Danes fluff didn't do him any good. Instantly his forehead had a HUGE black and blue bump on it. I was hysterical and so was Dane. I have never felt that much remorse, sadness and FEAR all at one time. He was crying and he was acting really weird so I freaked out. I called 911 and told them my story. The guy on the other line I'm sure was thinking I was mentally retarded. He was asking me all these questions and I was little to no help at all. He asked me, "Is he breathing, Is he conscious, Is he throwing up? " Then he asked me how far he fell and I said, "Oh about 5 feet." Then I thought, "Lindsey your such a dip shit. 5 feet, that's about as tall as Lindy. Your bed is NOT 5 feet up!" I'm sure he was thinking, "Yep she's retarded, if this kid ends up normal after this experience he still has no chance."

Well the ambulance came and all 5 guys come running into my house, Eagle Mt must be a really boring place to be a Fire Fighter Paramedic. They said Dane was fine and that I should take him to his Dr just to be sure and have him checked out. At this point I was just a little hysterical. So we did and Dane is fine. This little boy will survive this mom of his if it's the last thing he does. I really should be walking around with a CAUTION sign on my forehead. Poor little guy:(

After the whole experience Riley said "OK Lin Dane is grounded from the bed. No matter how hard he begs he can't get up there." This was Riley's SWEET way of saying, "Lindsey stop being a dip shit and putting our kids on the bed." Bless his sweet heart. Well I have leaned my lesson, NO KIDS ON ANYTHING THEY COULD FALL OFF OF, OR ELSE!!!!
