Bad Rori!!


Rori is on one this week, this is the only picture I have of her being naughty but I plan to start documenting them all. I have decided that when the kids do something like this I need to take pictures for evidence! Just a note in advance since you will probably be seeing a lot of naughty pictures: I promise I watch them, all the time! But my eyes cant be everywhere and they seem to go out and look for trouble!! In this picture you cant tell but she also spilled the nesquick all over the floor (after she ate it). She broke a bowl and she ripped Jameson's homework! Later this day she dumped a bucket of popcorn and then poured water all over it. And she didn't stop there, the next day she woke up from her nap and I guess went poo. Well she decided it would be fun to take her dress off, then her pants then, you guessed it, her diaper!! All the meanwhile I was obviously completely clueless as to what was going on. I don't even know how long she was doing all this but when I heard her jumping around in her bed I went upstairs to get her. As I made my way down the hall to her room I could SMELL THIS TERRIBLE SMELL!! I walked in and my jaw hit the floor, quickly followed by me gagging! She had repainted her wall, her bed and herself all with her own POOP!!!! I didn't even know what to do?? The first thing I thought of was to go downstairs and grab a garbage bag, I almost put her in it but decided I would just put it over my hands and arms so I could walk her to the bath where I then proceeded to spray her off from a safe distance. After LOTS AND LOTS of bleach wipes, and disinfectants and a good scrub down I was done. (I decided not to document the poo incidents) None of my kids have ever done this before and so help me if Rori Ana ever does it again!! She is going through this stage right now where she brings me SO much joy but at the same time SO much grief!! She is too funny, she makes me laugh constantly because she is now communicating so well and the things she says or freaks out about or notices are so funny! She is so sweet and can pull the cutest little faces. Her personality is really showing now and she is one mean little bugger! She yells at just about everyone and she will be damned if someone tells her what to do or takes something away from her. She is one stubborn little monster! But still she is wonderful to be around, maybe not for everybody but her momma loves her to death!




*** While I was writing this short post Rori Ana, who I swear was right by me almost the whole time, snuck off and went upstairs where she undressed herself again and went poop. THIS TIME IN THE TOILET!! YAYYYYY !!!! She did this all by herself!! The crappy part is that she tried to wipe her own butt, so again we had to do another good scrub down but at least she made it in the toilet!!

These days...

Both of my babies took 1st place!!!!

These last couple of weeks I feel like I have been working double time?? It may have to do with the fact that 2 weeks ago Rory raced in his first BMX race and wrecked, he ended up tearing his rotator cuff! Poor guy, he is in quite a bit of pain these days and still has to work all day lifting things with one good arm. He is not allowed to lift or even take his arm out of the sling until this weekend and even then he is not supposed to lift anything for a while. Too bad he isn't taking doctors orders. He has been better than I thought he would be but still not 100%. So I have been the one taking care of the kids most of the time, I know he is usually in pain when he gets home from work and the last thing he wants is all the kiddos jumping all over him. Things seem so much more hectic lately too! Ava has suddenly decided she doesn't want to sleep at night?? She wakes up every couple of hours, she doesn't cry every time but she talks and jibber jabbers to herself which I usually think is pretty cute but not at 2 am. I would love nothing more than to take her out of our room and put her in her own... except that we don't have a room to put her in!? I do have a plan, I just don't know how well it is going to play out. Soon Rory will make the 2 older girls a VERY cute bunk bed I have drawn up, then they will share Chanel's room. Only thing is Rori Ana doesn't do very well in an open bed, she is in and out and wont take her naps. She screams the whole time and it takes so much and so long to get her to bed. I'm hoping things will change if Chanel is in the room with her but I'm doubting it. So, what do I do with Nelly? I cant have her being kept up all night? If I have to I will put her in bed with Jameson, but every time I let those 2 sleep together they wake up around 6?! Not to mention while all this is going on Ava will probably throw a total fit because she is in a new bed and out of my room. She will also be crying throughout the night because she needs to learn to sleep all night. I am just not sure about all this?!?! If I could I would just sell my house and buy one with enough bedrooms for everyone!! Unfortunately that is out of the question. SOOOOO I will just keep my eye on the prize, I will not be sleeping for a while but in the end it should all pay off. Right?? Other than this dilemma I have, nothing much has been happening. We have been enjoying what little sunshine we have been getting these past few days. Trying to keep ourselves busy with races, family and other things and looking forward to the warm weather to come. Here are some random pictures from the past few weeks...

Playing in the fog!!

For fun we decided to put bubbles in the hot tub!! It was hilarious!!

More Costa Rica....

I have been wanting to post more pictures of Costa Rica and just haven't had the time, here are a few more....
Rori sleep walking???


JR, Kristi, Emerson and Baby! You look AWESOME Kristi!!


They are in the middle of an argument here.


Daddy to the rescue!!! She got taken out by a wave.










Aunt Rachael with the girls...
For some weird reason it was odd to me to see a monkey playing in the sand?







Lounging by the pool again...


The view from our bed!! So wonderful to wake up to this!!
Every plant was beautiful, even the weeds were gorgeous!!



Daddy to the rescue AGAIN!!




"Look at the fish"

The morning fog...





She WOULD NOT sleep in this bed!!! She did this until about 2:30 am, finally I kicked Rory out of our bed and had to bring her to bed with me.
Little man did the whole zip line all by himself!! I was SO proud!!!

These last 2 he needed a guide because they were too long.


Terrifying!!!
