I know i have alot of blogging to do, it always seems to get away from me during the summer months! they fly by! But I really wanted to write about this hillarious phase Wil is in right now. He is a riot, always so serious, i hope someday his sense of humor will come around. He loves to sing, loud, long and put on shows, of course I think its hillarious so i laugh, then Wil gets soooo mad. "stop laughing mom! its not funny!!" to which i reply "Im laughing because you make me so happy!" I posted a few of his songs on facebook, i will try to get them on here, but the blog is more for journaling for me. So then the next day he saw the movie "The Last Airbender" with nick, he loved it, every day since, for about 2 weeks or more now, he has been calling himself the last airbender and doinng some awesome spin kick flip moves and throwing magic missiles at everyone, he has been doing it so often now that little Coop is now throwin some magic missiles too. lol, to which of course i laugh, i can not help it lol, i laugh just thinking about it, then he tells me "Its not funny mom! im the last airbender! Im angry!"

I will say "hey wil, go pick up your toys"

he says "I'm not wil mom! im the last airbender"

"oh sorry, i forgot.... hey airbender, go pick up your toys!"

Just when i think that he has forgotten about it, i try to talk to him like a normal wil, and am quickly reminded that hes not wil lol, i just think its funny its lasted so long, usually he is on to the next thing alot quicker. So tuesday he got a package in the mail from my mom with a last airbender shirt in it!!! i have never seen him more excited lol. He wore it for the rest of the day, then to bed that night, then all day the next day, cuz he didnt want to change, i had to peel it off of him this morning to throw it in the wash cuz he was starting to smell.... lol, Last night he had me take pictures and video of his sweet airbender moves (he likes to trap me in ice blocks) Nick took the pictures and photoshopped the one above lol, nick spent all this time on it last night, we show it to him this morning, thinking he would be crazy excited about it and love it, but aparently it wasnt good enough, he was like ,yeah, i know, im the last airbender, then proceeds to tell nick that he needs a point (arrow) on his head like the airbender has, then walks away..... not quite enough dad lol, not quite enough

i wish i could keep him this age forever, and ever

Catch up

Last weekend we went to the Detroit Zoo with my friends Kelly and Gabby, and Gabby's 2 boys Isaak and Eli! It was a blast!! The boys loved it as much as I did. this pic is of the train ride right when we got there. We usually take the train to the back and work our way back to the front of the zoo to leave.

This is Wil, Isaak and Eli posin for a pic, it was impossible to get everyone smiling and looking at the same camera at the same time, there was always at least 2 if not 3 cameras pointing at em lol, but this is the best I got!

My boys lookin in at the Chimpanzees. They were kinda scary, they would haul up and bounce kick off the glass right in front of the kids. Freaked me out, Cooper wanted to see more!

A few days later the circus came to Howell! Grandma Annie, cousins Emma, Bella and Isaac all went with us! Its only in town for one day, and it was pretty small but we got front row seats, it was pretty cool for Wil. and for me. They had 2 elephants, 6 lions, big cool trained ones, camels, I have lots more pictures that are goin on facebook for now.

Wil enjoyed the treats more than the actual show tho, and the $10 lighting up gun he had to have..... i might be spoiling him.... alot, oh well.... Cooper might get a complex, he doesnt get near as many things.... Once Coop realizes that its not too fair the gravy train will stop for Wil too lol. one lighting up gun for $10 isnt as bad as 2... thats tooooo much

Cooper has officially started saying NO! and this is his NO face...
Its pretty serious

We were finger painting

My most favorite commercial

I cant help but crack the heck up every time i watch this, maybe its my inner 10 year old..... i dunno if i wanna hang out with them, or stick one in my pocket

Lara took some awesome pics of the kids yesterday!! she posted a few of the edited ones here www.laradouglasphotography.blogspot.com i cant wait to get some printed off!! shes got a few more on facebook too. she did such an awesome job!

Prom and crap!

So we were doing an art project the other day with the kids i do daycare for and when Wil was done he exclaimed "Now we need to go to the Art and Crap show!!"
me: "you mean the arts and crafts show?"
wil: "No the art and craP show mom!"
me: " Well that will fit in perfect with all the other art and crap.... lol"

Coop : "coopy eeeeaaaatt art and crap!"

and theeeen I went down to indiana a few weekends ago to do my little seester's hair for her prom! shes a junior, and its just a senior prom, but her date was a senior so she got to go! It was really fun to be down there with her for it! and her hair turned out amazing might i add!

Wil saw her and said *gasp* "Mom! rachel's a princess!!!"

Such a pretty dress and she wore her worn out converses with it..... sigh lol

hair from the front

Hair from the back! it looked really really cool in person, i think she had almost 100 bobby pins in there lol, well more like 80 somethin, but close twists on the sides that looked awesome. Sooo i can officially open up my hair biz lol. ima pro now!!

Sooo tired!

I totally feelfor working moms, even though I'm just getting a taste for it. I have been watching a couple extra kids during the days and it is just exhausting! They are little , 2 and 11 mo's, so there are 4 boys under 3 here all day long! I dont get any of my normal stuff done during the day and then have to do it all at night wen i would normally be sittin on my bumm! I went grocery shopping at like 9pm the other night! I fall into my bed at night absolutally exhausted, and fall asleep within minutes! Greatful that I dont have to leave my kids for a real job, so its worth it to me, and I've been going to the gym in the mornings, so i get to the gym at about 6am, come home and shower and am ready for the kids to get here by 730, my kids wake up around then too, and we are off!!
I only have the extra boys for 2 more weeks, and am desperatly trying to find more kids to watch! So if you know of anyone needing cheap childcare send em my way! (not thaaat cheap)
So i dont think this post is really for complaining, im not really, id rather be doing this than have a real job with a dumb boss! I guess i'm just taking note at how stinking exhausted I am, i could litterally put my head down on this laptop right now and fall asleep! lol
another excuse for lack of posting!
Wil's bday was super fun tho! He had a party on friday with his friend Camryn, who shares the same bday with him, played at the park, had cake and presents! Saturday we had a party with the fam, my parents came up and nicks parents came down! He had more presents and more cake, by monday he was a spoiled snot, we had to hit reality hard again lol
ill attach some pics later
I'm still pumped about the cute cupcake cakes i got at meijer for super cheap, and they tasted great, but they were stinkin cute! I migh ttry to pull the pics off of facebook.... ill get to that
Mother's day was a bummer! I got up to get ready for church before anyone was awake yet, stuck my roast in the crockpot, as im all dressed and peeling potatoes Wil comes walking in and scared the crap outta me with his bloodshot green gooey eyes "mom, my eyes stuck"
ugh, so no church for contagious us lol. but we had a yummy lunch still. I always like to go to church on mothers day, they give out a cute little gift and the little kids sing, i like it, and was bummed we missed it.
till next time!

Soo many things to blog about! Wil's bday was the 30th, our 5th anniversary was may 5th! I should be able to have some free time tomorrow on mother's day to put my feet up and catch up on my blogging whilst the hubs takes over motherly duties for the day :) soooo until tomorrow!
