5 days since my last blog...no way!! What?!

Holy crap! Yeah I spaced. I completely thought..."Yeah I did a blog the other day, I'm golden"...*eeeerrrrgh* WRONG! :S Sorry my lovelies. So what's been going on with me? Battle of the birthdays, that's what! Laney's was on the 8th as most of you saw....well my sister-in-law's bday is tomorrow. Then my dad's, Kyle's, and my monster-in-law's birthday is all next week. Then I have my brother's bday, Brandon's bday, and both my nephew's bdays in March.

Someone please make the bdays STOP before my head explodes! Seriously. I think I might die from birthday overload! Ha, so anyways, I've been really busy with all this bday crap going on and oops...forgot about my blog. I sowwy!! :) Forgive me?

Love that family of mine.

I got a newsletter today. My family's newsletter. Yes, we are "that" kind of family. Always keeping up with each other. Our family reunion is every June. We always get a news letter in February or March highlighting all the things that have happened over the last year. New cousins born, deaths of loved ones, happy stories, fun moves, or hard times. It's always in there. Today I got in the mail our newsletter

written by my dear second cousin Tinker. She said something in this news letter that really touched me a lot. Something that I thought only I noticed, but it's pretty apparent to me now that I have an exceptional family indeed. I love them to pieces and feel so blessed to have them in my life. Tinker writes: "...I witness the abundance of love this family has always had for each other. This is proven every year, and I hope that you have witnessed this at the reunions. Every time you see one of our family members see another member, perhaps for the first time since the last reunion, you will see the same things happen. Always present in the eyes of each one, there is so much emotion of happiness and excitement. The smiles are spread all over their faces and it equals nothing short of pure joy." I fee so lucky that my children will grow up with such a close extended family. I look forward to the many reunions to come and the time I get to spend with my loved ones. This year there are only 3 remaining siblings of the original family of 13 children born to my Great-grandparents Pa Jack and Grandma Josephine). My Great Aunts Ann and Mary Alice, and my Pap Pa are all that are left. We might be Scottish, but we party and love like any huge Italian family! :D

I love goofy kids

I do...I really love goofy kids. Kids say and do some of the funniest crap. Mine are champs at being goofy. I do have some photographic proof of this. Oh yes, mama has blackmail photos ready and waiting to show off too! Evil huh? I think Hayden and Brandon are the goofiest of the

bunch. I have no idea where they get that silliness from...no really, NO idea at all [sarcasm]. I think goofy kids are the ones with the biggest imaginations. They are the ones that go on to create fantastic stuff. I mean...can you imagine how goofy and imaginative George Lucas was as a kid? Course they could think up other things than hugely famous iconic movies. There are lots of fun creative stuff out there that goofy people probably thought up: the slinky, silly putty, Nerf footballs, silly string....PEZ. Seriously. :)

At any rate, I think it will be pretty awesome to see what kind of things my goofy kids think up as they get older. I honestly can imagine quite a few things that Hayden and Brandon might grow up to be...yes all goofy things mind you. Hayden I can see being a stunt double or dare devil, a rodeo clown, a big wave surfer, a snake charmer, or perhaps a wrestler for the WWF. Brandon I can see being a mad scientist, an evil genius (or is that the same as the first?), an architect that builds things solely out of legos, an adventure novelist, and a space and/or time traveler. Course there is plenty of time for them to figure out the best career move...but ya know, a mom can dream right? Especially if that mom is just as goofy as her kiddos.
