whats on jessica's phone?

'tis been awhile since i last saw you.

but alas, i am here.

ready to blog a little.

i hope you'll still have me.

here's a picture i took of michele,

getting super hot for her man to see her

for the first time in 7+ months.

what a NIGHT that was.

so exciting.

i was so grateful to be able to witness the reunion.

while in texas several months back,

i went to lunch with my cousin and my sister.

then i saw something

that blew my ghetto buns outta the water.

and i had to capture the moment.

in texas we visited the zoo.
and i don't know why or how
i've never noticed
the way giraffe's eat when the food is lower than them.
whats the point of knees if they don't work?


love this picture.
love everything about it.
i love that i have 4 boys.
i can't wait for the day they're all grown
and they'll be walking around my house,
messin' with each other,
and even though i worry sometimes
that i may not be able to teach them every thing
they need to know,
it's comforting to me
to know that what i may forget,
they can learn from each other.

when lover was gone for several weeks,

i tried to learn how to grill.

"tried" being the keyword here.

i swear i meant for them to be charbroiled.

this is for april.

found this on my way home from candace's house one day.

shhhh, it's sleeping.

with tire marks on it's back.

let's kick off roadkill 2011!

remember,

i accept entries alllll yeeeeaaar loooooong.

my three big kids all have dinner chores
after we eat.
miah = clean tables
kora = sweep
jake = dishwasher

this picture was taken AFTER dinner chores.
apparently "sweep" means,
hide it all under the cabinets near the baseboards.

on most days, gus is at izey's mercy.

today was one of those days.

if this ponyo guy isn't the cutest thing on the planet,

i don't know what is.

ponyo pilot.

wait what?

did someone say elton gussy?

don't' worry you freaks,

the car is in non-moving mode

but this one is not.

watch out.

sometimes when penny is bad,

and he steals the car for midnight runs to the c-store,

we have to punish him

by putting coins on his eyeballs.

we hear they're much worse than buttons.

and then after we do that,

he's back to his old happy self.

riding bouncy ducks.

have i talked about penny in the blog yet?

i think not.

oh well,

he's too busy shaving to notice.

one time i saw this mom go into hooters

with her FIVE kids,

who were of different ethnicities,

including two babies,

with no husband.

oh wait,

that was me.

penny loves to help me cook.

i love when he helps me.

i don't love when he helps himself

to my baby formula that isn't cheap.
gus?

do u like cheese bottles?

sometimes i feel

like i always talk about my babies,

and never my big kids.

probably because it's true.

so here's a tribute to the neglected "olders".

handsome miah.

gorgeous koko.

and chubby asian jake.

i couldn't help myself

when i saw this beauty staring out the window

all decked out in her patriotism.

flippers courtesy of her new pen pal,

lily northrop.

white trash mondays continue

at my house!

stop by if you're in the area!
ANYONE is welcome!!

i swear!!

facebook me for more details.

izey never,

ever,

eva eva eva eva,

falls asleep on the couch like this.

except this ONE day.

he was sick.

is it bad that i secretly kinda like when my babies are sick?

they become so cuddly and lovable!

how much you wanna bet

ghetto bootie girl from above

is driving this one?

so i had this master plan.

i was gonna have my sister ship me

some whataburger ketchup.

because my preggo friend on the west coast,

bonnie,

loves it. as do i.

i was going to share it with her.

unfortunately it didn't make it even half way.

i may or may not have licked that entire bag.

i'm just sayin.

found this beauty on my way home

from my friend adriane's house.

i don't think i even know HOW

to drive 2SEVEN mph.

i had a great day at church a few sundays back.

i really felt the spirit.

the kids were decent.

and when it was time to pray,

i was able to get a really good laugh.

even rebels go to church,

they're called marines.
and yes, i took a picture

in church

with my iphone

during the prayer.

thanks for being patient with my lame blogging

or lack thereof the past couple weeks.

goodnight folks.

more sugary goodness to come!
