Potato bug aka Jerusalem cricket!

Family celebrations! And invasion of the big ugly bug!

Never have I seen anything like this bug...well except in my nightmares...

offending beast!

before the creepy crawling beast..

****My sweet mom & I and mr. king con****

Two of my fav niece's!!!

Twin-tastic!!! Playing and pulling each other...awhhhh

Grandma Dee ...trying not to look at the crazy kids on the trampoline ((worrying her to death))

I just have to share it!! Major trauma event yesterday.....Here is a copy of my frantic email to my niece who kept sending creepy pic's of bugs, trying to figure out what exactly we witnessed at our family party the night before! She is equally as disturbed by such offensive creepy crawling thangs, that she just had to find out if our lives were threatened the night before!!

Star,

Ok I am SOOOOOOOOO still trying to recover!! I cANNOT tell you how freaked out I am right now!! Not only do I have the MAJOR ebbie-jeebies from last night, then you send all these other bugs (via email),,..THEN THE LAST TWO HOURS I HAVE HAD A DRAGON FLY IN MY HOUSE!!! THEY ARE BIG AS BIRDS...i am UN UN UN UN REAL freaked out! I am seriously ready to call my dad, bishop, someone...hee...S.O.S...faaaareaking out so that i dont have to actually read on this bug...can they hurt us? ((The Jerusalem cricket?)) between the blinds is the dragon fly!!...i can see the skinny legs and the pulsating bum...AND IT FLEW OUT FROM UNDERNEATH MY FREAKING DESK......yes it was down by me without me knowing..this alone has got me so itchy...and my bum is tingling with fear. 911 !!@@##$$%%^^&&**(That bug is WAYYYY more big and scary in person.((potato bug)) Just sayin' holy moly!! Oh and then this dragon fly will try and excape from the blinds...waaaaaaaaa huge huge rustling and noise...i am PARALYZED....I am so not by it anymore....i am down stairs freaking out...i even locked the door....YIKES ...

Ok ...now that I have calmed down...I realize the dragon fly in fact do not hurt us. But I was equally as spooked when I had a bird in my house once. I just, well...get the creeps. I am sure I am not alone in the world with this fear/phobic-ness. But just an update on the invasion of the dragon fly ...he passed on, he done wore him self right out trying to escape the window blinds...then my brave hubs took care of the rest. Bless his heart.... hee.

So what are you afraid of?

5 Little Pumpkin Poem
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate; The first one said, "Oh my it's getting late."The second one said, "There are witches in the air."The third one said, "But I don't care."The fourth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"The fifth one said, "Let's run and run and run.""Wooooooo" went the wind,And out went the lights.
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

We love you Uncle Airy....

So here is a little snippet of us waiting for the bus. Luckily you don't see me in my smashing Jammie's out scaring the neighborhood. But the boys were so cute in this clip I wanted to share it!

***IT'S TOO JUICY!!!*** LOVE!

Funny things they say...

O.K. so the other day I was getting frustrated with Hunter as I had asked him to climb up to his seat a bunch of times after about 20 times I said: "ok you are so getting on my nerves...Paaa-lease jump in your seat"

He replies: "mommy, peeeeeaz take me off your nerves?" Then of course I am laughing so naturally obliged and took him "off" He was giggling too!!

Then as I was watching the scary CNN on the economy, I was barking at the TV. I said: "oh ya that will help MR. just put your head in the sand..."

Hunter says: "mommy? We put our head in the Sand we can't see?!!!"

hee

Out of the mouth of my babes...:) LOVE!

Orange Day

So the pre-school teacher sends us a schedule to follow. Each day this month they are asked to wear a specific color. And well, orange just happens to be one of my fav's. Bridger always looks forward to the bus. Hunter has been a titch nervous, but on his 4Th day riding it he was very proud to say: "mommy, I not scared anymore". "He also let me know that his heart is happy to come home, because he misses his mama." Now, this recent development in 3 year olds life of actually being able to hold a conversation. I must admit is very welcomed and fun!! My boys can actually be pretty great company for me! Ahem...when they aren't working on the turn taking, and dumping out the honey. Oh don't want to forget the brushing the carpet with tooth paste. But to keep this positive and fun! Like I promised myself. hee They are honestly growing up too fast!!! Where did my babies go!!??

this pic taken right after a tune of DORA's famous

"BACK PACK BACK PACK song.."

And if you don't know about Dora the explorer, well then you just aren't LIVIN'

Little King Con seeing the boys off....he waves BYE' then its time for just the two of us.

some pic's while the boys are gone....

z con has major door and drawer love. He was hangin' out in the drawer below the oven. silly bubbie

Then here in the playroom (A MESS! big fat deal "i know!? shesh.")

ANYWAY...so he is so stinkin cute how he rides the teeter-totter like a HORSE...gidde up..

Conner's latest trick is tickling your toes...he will even say "tickle tickle" sounds more like diddy diddiy....really really stinkin cute! (pardon the pun..hee)

Another funny thing he is doing is....putting his head down and looking up at you all flirty...He soooo knows what he is doing and ((LOVE it!!))...I mac on his cheeks hourly..yummy bub.

All my boys are big FAT blessings in our life...but one on one time is seriously rockin' I truely treasure it.

My hub's and I try to have one on one time with each of the boys. Its a tough juggle!! But well worth it. And I think it is so important for them! Even at this young young age. Its amazing the things you learn about them.

Anyway...TGIF!!! WOOT WOOT

First Day of Pre-School

Bridger has been in the Early Intervention Speech therapy classes since he was 19months old or so. Riding the bus is old hat for him, all though he loves it!! Today was Hunters long awaited day to ride the bus to preschool with Bridger! The EI class has several peer model students and Hunter gets to model is great speech LOL... It was an emotional morning for the mama...but joyful all the same to see how exciting it is to wait for the big yellow bus. I also get two whole hours with my Mr. King Con for some one on one time....(he's eating a banana at the moment) hee.

So the bus was several minutes late and my shameless video camera ' get up' worked great as we sat in the drive way while waiting singing 'The wheels on the bus' THEN!! Right when the bus pulls up and they start running to get on the juice on the cam ran out! :( Beyond bummed..we need a new battery that holds a charge longer. Anyway. Its charging for there return.

I asked the boys to say "Hi" to daddy in the camera and Grunter went over and really looked it over trying his hardest to see daddy in it! Funny kids...

My big boys...sigh...Its amazing how fast this time is going...just like everyone warns me to enjoy it because its gone before you know it. And lue of that I take tons of pic's and video. In case you have not noticed!! :)

Have a splendid day!
