Dun' Gone To Da Dawgs...

For anyone who didnt know already...we have a new addition! Nope not a baby yet, or at least not a sweet smellin' one. However, this big black bundle of fur is quite a lovely addition to the brew. Big Papa surprized the kids on New Years Eve with "Bear"! I wish I could have caugt their initial reactions but cameras are just not all that cooperative. Considering I am not an animal person...I actually like this pup. I guess I really like watching the kids with him. There is nothing like watching your childrens faces light up when they teach him a new trick or get him to follow instructions. All in all, he is a great dog and we are happy to have him as our newest family member.

A Little Sugar High...

My Super "O" was hyped up on sugar high one night after one of the many birthday celebrations this past year! Sometimes I forget these silly videos are stored away in my archive of pictures just screaming to be shared. This is the excitement that keeps me so in love with this little guy. Even without 500 lbs of sugar he goes at life with such a gusto...usually earning him the title of Mr. Drama!!! He just has that much vigor towards everyday life...we should all try to capture just a little of his enthusiasm!

Train A Child....

...in the way he should go, and when he grows he will not depart from it!!! I am praying that proverb is true...My Little "L" loves to vacuum. In fact, he literally cries if we dont let him. Am I afraid of making him a little soft? Heck no...I see him being the man of every womans dreams. A man that isnt afraid to run a vacuum here and there is a rare find...he will be an amazing husband!!!

Our Amazing Kids...

Arent they the cutest kids ever!?!? Everyday I look at each of them and wonder how did I become so blessed? My joy overwhelms me when I sit and think of all the wonderful things that God has given me. He gave me an awesome man to walk this path together, 7 almost 8 beautiful children to keep the path colorful and bright, family all around that is always there when we need them to surround us in love, and friends who know us yet love us anyway. We are truly blessed!!! Thank you to everyone for being a part of our lives!

How To Climb a Wall...

First, you need to take your feet and spread them as far apart as you can and try to be just like Spiderman...any other way would just be too easy. See like you are doing is too babyish...be Spiderman like me.

Ok, so you made it up here but can you walk on this tightrope like me. Be very careful, only big boys who are 3 can do this kinda thing. Dont worry...you'll be able to do it next year, cause you'll be 3 too!

Daddy's Tattoo Session...

Dont be freaked out by these images...we have not turned to the goth side, we have on the other hand realized that paper is a waste of money when you have a living walking canvas. Big Papa is a sucker when it comes to letting his kids draw all over him...he actually begs them to. On this particular night I think he must have actually dozed off during his tattoo session and woke up to an entire upper body art show. Scooter I figured while you are there in your quiet hotel room you would enjoy the reminder of what you are missing here at home. We miss you!

A Little Gliche....

Ok...I know that I left this blog in a very bad way, and I apologize to all 5 of you who follow us on here. After my last mean and self pitious entry my outlet to the world (aka my computer) went down and I was too lazy to try to figure out how to blog on Scooters Mac...I mean give me a break I have all one million pictures on this computer. Too time consuming!!! However, I am back and in a much better mood and I have a lot to catch you up on. We celebrated 6 birthdays complete with pictures and plenty of other photo ops that just need to be shared with the blog world. And for anyone who hasnt already heard, we have decided to increase our brood from 7 to 8...due to be delivered in April (hence the hormonal imbalance of the last blog). There are many other events that have happened or will be happening in the near future but for now I will leave with this blurp to let you know that the next 20 or so entries will be me playing catch up, so please bear with the fast fowarded past.

One of Those Days...

Have you ever just had one of those days where you just want to go back to bed the minute you wake up. Well, today is one of those days for me. I dont have really anywhere to turn to express myself except here, so here I am. I am feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders and I really dont know why. I have a wonderful life and I really cant complain much, but today I just want to sleep. Maybe it is the 4th week into homeschooling blues, maybe its Scooter being gone, maybe its hormones, or maybe its just me dealing with the devil trying to rise up in me and tell people off. Im leaning toward the latter. I dont usually cry but today I just want to call all the people who have made me mad enough to cry and tell them where to go. Maybe I dont like being told what to do by every freakin person in my life and wish that everyone would just see that Im not an idiot and that I usually am smiling to keep my mouth shut and spare them the wrath that is welling up inside. My last post was my husbands song about his "angel". If only he knew the devil that lives inside of me he may not see me in such a sweet light. What?!? I have anger issues?!? You bet your sweet butt I do!!! I just usually let people and their stupid comments roll off my back, but then there are those days that it really bites and I have to really fight my inner self to keep from hurting others the way they seem to like to hurt me. Some smart person said to me that "you train the people in your life how to treat you" and that must be true, and I must have trained most everyone I know to be jerks. At least that is how it feels today....tomorrow I will wake up and the world will feel a little more endurable and I will return to my usual doormat role and lay there and take it until I just need to express my inner devil yet again! Till then Im going to bed!!!

A song for my wife

To My Hunkin Hotty

14!!! You changed my life 14 years ago when you whisked me off to that distant island and gave me your last name. Things have never been the same since. I love our life together...I love that we started out with no one other than ourselves to turn to...I love that we love each other even when things seem bigger than us...I love that you laugh at things that arent funny...I love that you make me laugh at things that I should be crying over...I love the joy I feel when we get those rare moments of being alone...I love that you have given me 7 wonderful children who remind me of you all the time...I love that when you're gone it hurts...I love that you are compulsive (or is it ADD)...I love that you have weird quirks with noises...I love that I can drive you up the wall with simply humming...I love that you always find the one sticky spot on the floor to put your foot in and look surprised everytime...I love that you are a hunkin hotty...I love that you dont get mad when I expose you on my blog...I love that you dance ghetto...its sexy...I love that even though we have been together 14 years, it seems like just yesterday we were that silly acting newlywed couple that made people vomit...shoot it makes me vomit to watch us flirkin' on our old videos, but it was new then and you have a way of making us feel new today (without the vomit). You are an amazingly wonderful husband but most of all you are my friend. I know you will always be there to keep me smiling even in the most inappropriate times. I love you Scooter Boo!!!

Happy 14th

Because you know how much I love math...heres a little math equation for you...
14 years /7 children = 1 child every other year

Love
Your Jenni Leigh
