Death to the Birthday Bear or just a message?

Ok so to tell this story correctly you have to know a few things. First, I (very rarely) spank my kids with a belt. No i do not beat my kids, or leave marks or make them run screaming in horror whenever i walk in to the room... but i do spank my children. Enough said. Second, Isabella got a build a bear for her birthday and it has a sound clip thing in it. It is the most annoying thing i have ever heard. With all that said, let me explain what Noah did while i was washing dishes.
    I had the music cranked up while i scrubbed (yes by hand, no dishwasher here). Noah was running around with the bear (i dont know why but he loves it) He was right next to me but i was still washing and didnt look down immediately... What i knew he was safe. I put my dish in the strainer and looked down. I expected to see Noah sitting on the floor playing nicely with the stuffed bear... Wow, now that i say that out loud, it sounds ridiculous. Anyways, thats what i was thinking.... NOT what i saw. Noah had the my belt wrapped around the bears neck and hanging from the kitchen drawer. He had brutally murdered the bear. At first i kinda giggled and thought that i would never have to hear that annoying song again, then i realized it was a stuffed animal not a real one and she will live to see another day :( Then i thought about it... was that a message to me about my belt and those were his pent up aggressions for the belt all being exposed the only way he knew how??? All i could hear in my head was Bill Engvall saying "Heres your sign!" I wish there was more but honestly i just cleaned it up and told Noah that it wasnt nice. Either way, it was kinda funny! Have a great day everyone.

Back Home!

Well I am sorry that it has been awhile since i last posted something but the family and I went to Texas. Yes, Texas! My husband is from Dallas so we travel there every year. We got to do so much this time with the kids being older and all. It was an amazing trip. This visit also happened to fall on Isabella's 7th birthday. We got to go to the Texas State Fair, and rode the ferris wheel. It was really amazing, even Noah got to ride some rides. He isnt really supposed to ride any rides cause they jostle the brain, but he is three and still likes the lil kiddie rides and they just kinda go round and round. I got hundreds of photos that i promise to post. Also, they got to see "Big Tex", a 52 ft (fake) man that watches over the whole fair. Aiden got to go fishing and caught his first fishie. He also got to shoot his BB gun for the first time and actually hit the target (not the middle, just the paper). Isabella got to go to Build A Bear, and make her pink birthday bear. Jeffrey let her put a sound bite thing in it and now i want to amputate the lil bears hand off (thats where the button is). She picked out the most annoying birthday song known to man and pushes the button CONSTANTLY! We ate at all out favorite places. My lil sister Dakota got to go with us. Grandpa Johnny gave her driving lessons and took her out to shoot the rifle. She is a natural bad-ass! She shout four times and hit the bullseye every time. Pretty freaking cool if ya ask me. We feed the Llamas at Grandpa Mikes farm, and they made me get IN the llamas fenced is part (i dont know what else to call it) to take some pictures of the kids feeding them from the llamas point of view. Damn that was scary and of course my Father In Law, David, was NOT HELPING! "Tiffany, they are coming to get you, they are vicious... Here they come..." But thats ok, cause i got a nice photo of him holding my purse :)
        OMG, i almost forgot! We got to go to Strokers, that bar in Dallas thats on the TV. Its from that show "Ma's Roadhouse" on TRU TV. Let me explain, I LOVE that lil ole' lady. She reminds me of my own dear Nana, and Aunt Cindy. I grew up in a biker family and my Nana, Aunt Cindy, and my Mother all ran a bar called "The Black Rose". The "Ma" from the TV is JUST LIKE THEM. So i instantly fell in love with her, and it was at a bar, so i HAD to go! ;) I got a patch for my vest, and a kick ass shot glass. Hell yea, it was awesome.
       The whole trip was just amazing really.  I had a freaking kick ass time with my family. I am proud that i get to take my kids all around and show them "the sights". We travel alot and i have "Road Kids" LOL thats what i call kids that are used to traveling in a vehicle for hours at a time. We have been driving all over the USA for years and when we had babies, we just brought them with us, no need to change plans. I love it. I am creating memories with them that not only I will have, but they will have and pass on to their kids. Well enough of me rambling on... I just wanted to tell yall that we had a blast in Texas and I will be posting some photos later. Ciao for now!
