I almost never get to see TV in the mornings. One morning last week I was able to see the first few minutes of Live with Kelly. Alec Baldwin was her guest host. They were doing the normal morning chatter. He says something along the lines of his theory about birth order. His thoughts are when you have multiple kids of the same sex it goes... Senator then Bank Robber. He explained him and his brothers are just like that. Senator - Bank Robber, Senator - Bank Robber. At first I started to laugh. Then I got to thinking about my boy's birth order... hmmmm There is some truth to it! Except for the last 2, they might be Bank Robber then Senator BUT it might be because Bugs is 13 and on my very last nerve. I might not be objective.
Heir Apparent has always been a good natured guy and easy to please, BUT he LOVES to debate. EVEN when you didn't want to debate it, just do it son! Total politician.
Drummer has always chosen the more difficult way of doing something. If a spanking was all that was going to happen, whatever "it" was - totally worth it! But separate him from everyone else and he was at deaths door! When he and Heir were about 3 and 5 their daddy bought them Red Rider Pop guns for Christmas. Heir totally used it as it was intended. Drummer put the cocker thingy (my dad says the lever) down and slammed the gun into his hip and made the machine gun sound. We didn't have TV! How on earth did he know about a machine gun? Total Bank Robber!
T2 was probably the laziest baby on the planet. His great Auntie called him Floppy. He didn't walk until he was almost 17 months old. I finally got nervous and took him to our Doctor and said "he appears to be broken, fix him"! That man looked me in the eye and said "Stop carrying him". I gasped! THE NERVE! Well low and behold it worked! Who knew! He was terribly shy for a long time. Now he has an opinion about EVERYTHING! He's a very kind 23 year old son with a very tender heart. Senator.
Skater was the baby for a very long time. He is spoiled rotten! He thought (thinks?) we were all put here to serve him. He is a very kind kid and loves his family. BUT.... he is not overly motivated to move along very fast. He has his own time table and own methods for getting there. And trust me it's not on yours, at all! Bank Robber
Now here is where things muddle up....
Bugs and Monkey are switched I think. But I honestly think it could be the 13 thing and the Baby thing. Some day Monkey will be 13 and be on my nerves too I guess.
What are your thoughts? Whats your birth order? Does the Senator/Bank Robber thing work for your family?
Last night my friend called me to go walking. I said sure. I wore a pullover sweatshirt. It was cold but as we got walking it was fine. Brisk but fine. About 10 minutes after I walked in the house I got a text from her asking if I had looked outside. It was snowing like crazy! It had been clear not a drop of rain NOTHING. We woke up to 2 inches of snow today. I know it's still Winter but I have flowers blooming! The weatherman said we should be in the 60's by the weekend. NICE!
Have a good week!

Epic Blogger Fail
It is such a good thing that I don't get paid to Blog eh?
A couple reason's (excuses?) ...
Life just isn't very fun or nice right now. I know I don't HAVE to be all rainbows and unicorn poop but it really isn't as much fun to yammer on about how bad life is for me. I know I have my little own black cloud floating above my head right now and I probably shouldn't share that anymore then I have to. HA! I'm pretty pathetic I know. So..... with that said, on with an update.
This was my 3rd year do The Best Picture Showcase. It is where you see all the movies up for Best Picture in the Oscars. Since they have gone to up to 10 movies it is over 2 Saturdays. The first day we saw 4 and the next 5. I did have a whole rant composed in my head about how The Help and George Clooney were robbed but I guess I will just have to let that all go. They didn't ask me.
Friends and Friends of Friends and Son's at the movies! So much fun! I totally recommend going if you love movies! The only down side to the whole thing is when there is a movie you TOTALLY HATE, IE... The Tree of Life. DO NOT SPEND YOUR TIME OR MONEY! I know movies are totally subjective to each person but boy howdy that is a bad movie and I have no idea how it ended up with a best picture nomination.
Sunday's dinner was uneventful and very good to have everyone together. No one was missing which does my heart so good! Buster didn't feel very good so he was a bit off but everyone else seemed to have a good time. We weren't sure if he was getting molars or a cold. Poor baby Buster.
Bella LOVES to sing with her daddy. It is very funny. I got a video of it but it wouldn't upload. I might try later.
Bella and daddy singing! Bella giving it all she's got! Go big or go home!
Bella, Bolt and Scout. Bella has had her "time" so she hasn't been able to come for a few weeks. It was good to have all the dogs together again too!
Princess and Uncle T2 sharing a laugh. T2 went through old movies and was going to have a little walk down memory lane. His roommate had never seen Benny and Joon. SHOCKING I know or Flight of the Navigator. So they were in for a movie night. DIL took home a stack of her own too.
Trying to get a good picture of a princess is like trying to wrangle worms. Just doesn't work well. I love this silly girl. Her mama was fussing about her (WHICH I might add she probably deserves!) and I had to tell her wait wait wait, THAT girl is an answer to my prayers! LOL
We have had some very beautiful days. I have several different flowers coming up in my yard.
I love crocus's. Such a little promise to me. Spring will come!
Primroses. I should probably clean the leaves out of the flower beds eh?
WELL! Just when it had been nice enough to work outside in the flowers. We got SNOW! Nothing much but SNOW nonetheless! 2 days worth! It has been really cold too. I think the flowers still want the leaves covering their itty bitty cold roots.
This isn't a great picture of the snow but it was really really snowing. Ish!
Yesterday was a good Hummer day. Isn't she a sweetheart! I love them.
I always try to get as close as I can. I decide to try it a bit different. I thought is was cute.

I would appreciate your prayers for my family near and far. We need it. Thanks.
Have a great weekend where ever you are!

Randomness
Not a lot of interesting things are going on right now so I just thought I would throw out some pictures from the last week.
Me and my Valentine.
Our little sidekick.
On Sunday at dinner Princess was very quiet all of a sudden. Her mama found her in the bathroom with Buster watching as she was using a snarkle (yes I know) to "swim" in the bathroom sink. It was so funny! She was wet clear to her underwear from her hair dripping.
I think her hair was the only thing in the water.
This is my daughter in law in her usual position after dinner. LOL She also normally works Sunday mornings so she is tired by the end of the day.
Our Granddog Bolt came with his Dad to dinner. I snuck him some porkchop without his dad knowing.

An update and picture post.
This past weekend I decided to take The Littles out of school on Friday (hey the teachers do it ALL the time) and head to my parents. The pass was suppose to be dry and clear and I was out of here. We left after work on Thursday. It was a long uneventful drive. We got there just fine and dandy. I got up Friday morning and went for a walk. It was so peaceful. Later that day Mom's new neighbor came over with her to Golden puppies. They are so cute! I loved on them and said OHHHHH for about 30 seconds. Then remembered why I don't want puppies. LOL
She is a few months old and huge. So very cute. I can't remember her name though. There was also a younger boy. He was a LOVE! He had the softest ears. AND he had puppy breath!
On Saturday morning my parents Vet had an open house thingy they wanted to go to. We were going to make several stops on the way home so The Littles had to go with us. They were VERY good sports. I took the movie player and Monkey had his DS. Bugs finished his movie so he just laid down and went to sleep.
He was sound asleep.
Then we stopped and saw my sister in law. She had surgery a few weeks ago and it was really good to see her. They have 4 little poodles that entertained the boys while we were there. They are funny funny dogs. My brother has started a new hobby, making cedar chests. I told my sister in law I LOVED Hers. I want one for my scrap books. She asked me the size! I hope I get one. She hasn't put anything in hers yet because she just likes opening the lid and smelling in there. HA!
Then we went to see my nephew and his family. He has the cutest little girls! One looks just like him and one looks just like his girlfriend. They were so sweet! They let me snuggle and kiss on them. My nephew has grown up so much. He looks so much like his daddy and I was a bit taken back by that. It has been awhile since I had seen him. He is such a sweet young man. His daddy would be very proud of him.
Great nieces. almost 3 and 18 months.
trying to ham it up!
Daddy with his girls, who had had it with posing for me.
What do you think?
At the top of the pass the boys got out to climb the snow drifts. It is dark so they are crappy pictures.
Monkey. Bugs is above him. It was a HUGE pile of snow.
Monkey tried to give me a sweet tart. I don't really like them so I said thank you and then said he could eat the candy. He LOVED that idea.
It's a promise Spring is coming! I'm sure of it.

On the way home we saw this from the highway. I thought maybe it was a tornado. Bugs took several pictures of it and when I zoomed it in I think it's just a smoke stack. It was sort of eerie though.
What do you think?

Yesterday was Valentines day. Sometimes we do something sometimes not. This year Dh took me out to Chinese food. He really doesn't like Chinese so it was a huge gift for me. I love that man.
Monkey tried to give me a sweet tart. I don't really like them so I said thank you and then said he could eat the candy. He LOVED that idea.
Spring really is coming! I have crocus's blooming in my yard. I have some in the flower beds and a few in the grass. I love the look of them all through the grass. By the time you have to mow they are long done. Bugs thought it was a mistake so he dug this one up and put it in a cup in his room. I told him it was a bulb and when it was done it was done for the year. He was bummed. When it's done he can just shove the bulb back in the grass somewhere.
It's a promise Spring is coming! I'm sure of it.
I know it's midweek but I hope you have a blessed week.
Peace.

Life in the Fast Lane
It has been a quiet week on the home front. We didn't have dinner today as a family. Most of the kids had plans for the Super Bowl so I just bagged family dinner.
I am doing a photo challenge for February. My good camera is broken so I am using an old one and I hate it. It's just not the same at all.
Feb. 1 - Scrap. This picture has been deleted and re-loaded several times. It will not stay turned. It's ticking me off!

Tonight since it was just the 4 of us Dh took us out for dinner. We don't go out often and The Littles were so excited! They have been BEGGING to go to Golden Corral. They have a chocolate fountain! Dh likes it because he can have as much as he wants of what he wants. The food was ok and I didn't have to cook. Then it came time for dessert. The Littles both dipped cookies and a marshmallow in the fountain. Neither one liked it. It was dark chocolate and they didn't finish them. I laughed. So they had ice cream. When it came time to head out the guys all grabbed a cotton candy. Funny story. When Skater was a little boy we had been somewhere - I think the Fair and we got a cotton candy for them to share. Several weeks later we were somewhere else and Skater asked if he could have Pocket Fuzz again. It took us a while to think of what he was talking about. We still laugh over that and it's still Pocket Fuzz to us. So, Dh and The Littles on their way out all grabbed a cotton candy. Dh handed his to me and said This is for you. I just looked at him and said I don't like it. No thank you. I knew that Skater would LOVE it so I just held it and brought it home for him. He worked today and wasn't home when we got home so I put it in a glass on the table for him for later.
Here it is several hours later. Skater isn't home yet and his treat is pitiful! I'm leaving it for him.
Teach him to go play after work. :)
