This is especially for the girls at work. Most everyone has heard the story about the rooster jumping on my head. I was not at a farm I was in front of my house leaving for a date with my husband. The neighbor kid Brennen was walking his rooster and we stopped to talk to him. At the same time I was asking him if the rooster was nice and it kept getting closer and closer. I asked him a few more times and then It flew at me. It landed on my shoulder and neck and I just screamed! LOL!! My HEROIC husband could only stop laughing long enough to get out his camera and snapped this perfect shot! (and I am glad I did because we both bust up over this still) The only thing better would be my scream attached to it. I seriously thought for a minute I was going to get my eyes pecked out!!! They no longer have the rooster, he was too time consuming and maybe a little worry some attacking poor old ladies minding their own business. lol

I do not want to gross any one out. *********

So THIS IS YOUR WARNING **** If you have a weak stomach and do not like anything that is disgusting **do not scroll down after reading. This is the after math of one of Dylan and Cole infamous wrestling matches. And Dylan’s last words were, “well if you're going to wrestle me with the knife at east put the sheath on it, I don’t want to loose an eye.” LOL at least he was thinking of his safety right. HE is FINE by the WAY!! other than he has 21 stitches. I was getting ready up stairs for company coming for dinner(in less than an hour) and Jason was talking to me. Gabe came tearing up the stairs yelling for us in a panic that Dylan was bleeding. Yup the next few hours were in the ER. Imagine that!!! Lucky our friends were gracious enough that they just hung out with Cole and Gabe visiting and catching up and we ate about 10pm. What’s new around our crazy house. I LOVE my Crazy HOUSE, I LOVE my crazy kids even if they drive me crazy!! If you want to scroll down..

Keep Scrolling if you dare.......

This is just after seeing the first doctor

and we are discussing the possibilities of what bringing in a specialist means.......

This is after he is totally numb and he wants a picture for his friends and I am trying to stop the blood from getting in his mouth. It was pretty swollen.

Getting stitches, only Dylan's second set of stitches, 1st set was chasing Cole through our kitchen in Midvale slipped on a Lego and hit the Kitchen floor. I think, if I remember correctly that was 4 stitches and he was 4 or 5. Not to bad.

This is right after.

He thought it was way cooler than how he looks, I think at this point he was pretty beat, imaginable so.

Dylan I love this pic of him.

Picasso hiding under the pillow. He

actually pushed me off the bed to have

this spot. Crazy cat!

Dylan's room.

Had to incorporate the Army

theme in his "new" old room.

It took 3 coats of paint to finish his

room. Love it though. Its much darker

than the pictures show.

Our new spare room. I have some touch up
painting to do and I need to get the bed
frame up and paint the dresser but other than
that this room is done. I still LOVE the colors
in this room.



This is Cole and Gabe's new Room. Gabe
picked it out the color. I have to say I was
a little worried when he first picked it out.
But I love it more than I thought I would.



I love the size of this room. We have the
two dressers in one closet. The Bo-Flex,
Tread Climber, 2 beds and 2 shelves, and
a ton of room in the center for them to
Jam on their guitars or work out.

So we have been teaching the boys to cook. Every child should know before they get out on their own right. Well my kitchen usually looks like a hurricane hit it, I guess you could say the that's true X's 3. Hurricane Dylan, Hurricane Cole & Hurricane Gabe, in no particular order. LOL. So they have their favorite things to make, but last week Gabe decided he wanted to make Quesadilla's, while he was looking for the tortilla's he placed his pan on the stove and started to heat the pan. In the mean time he calls me because he can't find the tortilla's. Mind you I am on a call with a customer at work and can't get to the phone when he calls. I send him a text a little later and let him know if we have any where they will be. Turns out we didn't have any, man what a drag. So Gabriel goes and finds something else to do, I believe he went to watch TV. Now I know all you parents out there are thinking ok what about the pan on the stove. Yupp he COMPLETELY forgot about it. Now about an hour or so later the boys are all watching TV and they hear a big CRACK! Yupp our nice fairly new flat top stove shattered. I can imagine the tension in the air, poor kids. I am surprised he didn't have a heart attach. After discussing having to put $300 -$400 plus into replacing the flat top surface and the last thing we wanted is another glass top that will possibly break in a week or even another 4 years, we decided to buy a gas stove. I have to say I have a little apprehension about using gas, but I love the way it cooks so I am really excited as well! Well, Gabe will be able to tell his story forever he will always be able to say ya when I was 13 I cracked my parents stove and I survived. We did get a very nice set of Ginsu knives out of the deal so he is very excited about that! Crazy kids. Gotta love em, they keep you on your toes and keep life Very interesting! What we do with out them.






Jason had SO much fun putting this together!
