Let me just get one thing clear....I HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!   I just don't get people sometimes, I really dont! 

"Uncle Paul" comes to visit and new embroidery projects

Last night, "Uncle Paul" came and stayed with us.  Will and him went to an engagement party for Daron and Sarah.  I stayed home with Parker and made him a new shirt.  I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with the entire embroidering thing.  It turns out that I was not stabalizing my projects correctly and this is why they never turned out very good.  I have that under control now and my projects are turning out great!  It has really become addicting.  It has also become very expensive to learn how to use this machine.  I have wasted so much money trying to figure it out and all it took was about 15 minutes in the fabric store, talking to a random person who embroiders, and now I know how to do it correctly. The manual that comes with the machine is not detailed at all and they just assume you already know how to use it.  There are so many little tricks to making a perfectly embroidered object.  Any how, here is a picture of the shirt I made for Parker and another one I made for a friend. 

We're off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz...

Because, because, because, because, because...Because of the wonderful things he does!!!!!  I used to love that movie.  Anyhow, I thought I would share our new family member, Dorothy, with ya'll =)

Tucker LOVES to dress up, if you haven't already noticed....this will be his Halloween Costume, if it still fits him by then.

Happy, Happy, Birthday it is your special day...

Tonight we went to Amanda and Wills family birthday party.  We combined the two because we have 4 birthdays in a row starting with mine on June 26, followed by Andrews July 1, then Amandas July 10, and finally Wills July 15.  It gets to be a little too much family time by the end of all the birthdays so this year we combined Amandas and Wills.  I think next year we should combine all four into one day.  Any how, Parker had a lot of fun with Alyssa.  He is starting to like playing with her more than Andrew which is a good thing because she is much closer in age to him and has better manners.  Here are some party pictures...

The one on the left was my sisters cake and the one on the right was Wills cake.  Wills cake had fish on it. These cakes were from Whole Foods and they are the best cakes you will ever eat. 

Here is the birthday boy...big 26!  Getting old!

My sister, Brandon, Carol(Brandons mom) and Alyssa.  Alyssa did all of the candle blowing.  Amanda turned 33, I think?

Our sweet boy who is not very photogenic.

And this one was not any better...

Wake up call

This morning at 7:30 AM, as I was sleeping peacefully, Parker came into my room like he ALWAYS does and was talking to me.  I thought it was going to be the same ole same ole, "Moggy wake up," type of thing.  This time was different though.  Parker said to me, "Moggy LOOK WHO IS HERE!!!"...so I rolled over and opened my eyes to see 3 little boys staring at me.  The first little boy said, "I sure like your room!!!"  The other one said , "Parker let us inside!!!!"  I could not believe my eyes.  Luckily their mother came and got them literally about 2 min later.  She said they had snuck out while she was getting ready.  I think we will be seeing a LOT of these little boys.  I am so glad Parker has made some new friends but I sure hope I do not get woken up to that every morning.

I am so tired of cleaning up after dogs and ...

I have had it with the dog!!!  He gets the toliet paper out of the bathrooms EVERYTIME I replace the bins with new toliet paper.  This is what I get to clean up after he sneaks around and shreds it to a million pieces.........................

Underwear bandit

I went down stairs this morning and found this in our living room.....

Tucker had taken about 4 pairs of my underwear and numerous bras downstairs with him.  I am not sure where he got them from?!?!  They were all clean and I believe he stole them from my clean laundry pile but I am not sure how he was able to get to them.  When I caught him, he ran under the couch and hid!  You can see a small glimpse of one pair that he had stashed under the couch.  He reminds me of the underwear bandit that robbed all the banks a while back with his head covered in womens underwear. 

Remember this guy.....

To top it all off, I found Parker and Tucker playing "frisbee" with all of the new dvd's that we had rented from the Library on Tuesday.  Boys will be boys.

Here is a picture of Parker after I caught them playing, with dvd's in hand....
