Stinky Sand

I think it is so cute when kids find something funny on their own. The other night during worship service we were singing the song My Faith is Built on Nothing Less. In the chorus of this song the words say "On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand." Well, our lil man thought that we were all singing "stinky sand" instead of sinking sand. He started laughing and saying "stinky sand". I know there have been lyrics before that sound like something they aren't and when you find out the lyrics you think, oh that's what they were singing. What songs have you found to have lyrics that sound like one thing but are really another?

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Music Lover

Our lil man is a music lover and his favorites have changed over the 2 yrs of his life. When he was a baby he used to love Zydeco music. It's Cajun music and he would lay on the bed and when he heard the music start moving his legs and arms just as fast as he could. Then he went through the stages of Veggie Tales sing alongs, church songs, and he still likes pretty much any music. He has though introduced me to someone I hadn't heard of ever..... Nathan Pacheco. If you click on the link you can see a You Tube video. He is a singer who sings Italian along with Yanni playing the piano.

He will seriously sit down and watch Nathan sing, and I mean intently watch it. As my hubby says thanks to my mom we have a Yanni cd w/Nathan on it in our truck. My mom had gone to the Yanni Voices concert and bought a cd that came with a dvd. One day while she was watching lil man she decided to put it in and see what it was about. Lil man was over playing with his toys not minding her so she thought he wouldn't care. As soon as Nathan began singing he stopped what he was doing and went over to watch the dvd. Since then he has been a huge Nathan fan. He likes the other singers on the cd but not as well as he likes "Nathan by his self".

It definitely isn't a taste of music I thought my 2 yr old would love but he does. If you haven't already check out Nathan you might surprise yourself and like it too :)

Why?.....Why?.....Why?

"Lil man, it's time to eat." "Why?" "Lil man it's time to change your diaper." "Why?" "Lil man come here." "Why?" As you can tell Lil man has learned the word why and uses it all the time! Every thing you say to him he comes back with "Why?" I know that most kids go through this stage but sometimes I don't know if I can make it another minute of "why?" I find myself using the famous words "because I said so" more and more.



Kids are definitely cute as they are learning to talk and communicate with everyone. He has really started putting words together and making sentences. In fact the other Sunday morning he looked at the clock, turned to his teachers and said "It's almost time for my Mommy to come pick me up." The teachers had a good laugh after that. I so enjoy watching him figure out things. It amazes me how much of a sponge lil kids are.



So, enjoy them while they are little because before you know it they will be in high school, trust me, it goes too fast.

28 wks a lil late

This post is about a week overdue but here is a pic of Baby Lo and I at 28 wks. Everything is going smoothly. I am on my every 2 wk appts now and go back on Monday. I did find out I needed to start taking an Iron Supplement but wasn't too surprised because I had to do that w/lil man as well. Baby Lo is very active especially at night when I am laying in bed. To me that is one of the best feelings is feeling your baby move inside of you. Of course there are times when Lo gives a good kick or punch that wakes me up, but I will take the good with the bad.

First Day of School

Well, it's that time of the year again. On Monday we sent our daughters off to school once again. Our youngest daughter is in the 6th grade and our oldest is a Junior. Where does the time go? Our girls were definitely ready to get back to school for the social aspect but I am not too sure about the actual school work. This fall is going to be busy w/Cheerleading for our youngest daughter and Tennis with our oldest. Unless Baby Lo makes an early appearance we should finish up the seasons before he/she gets here. Here are some pics from the 1st day.

Lil man was really excited waiting for the bus to come pick sis up.

For those of you with school aged children I hope you had or have a good start to your year.

Summer Block Party

Well I can't believe summer is winding down already. The kids will be back in school before we know it. Last night our block had a block party. I wasn't able to go because I had my Bible study but my hubby took our middle daughter and son down for some ice cream and fun. The kids had a lot of fun. Lil man met some new friends and even though our daughter wasn't thrilled about going she made the best of it. There was ice cream with M & M's and chocolate chips so she was happy. A fire truck and police car stopped by for the fun so lil man thought that was very neat. My hubby even did good and took some pics.

On the truck again.

I hope everyone enjoys their last bit of summer!
