Mother's have to sacrafice???

So I've always heard about mother's making sacrafices for their kids and I always knew my mom did it for me. You know----the whole mom's wearing ugly mom jeans so their kids can have the "cool" jeans. Or mom's wearing the same dress to church for years so their kids can have cute clothes. Well, this new "unspoken law" hit me full force this week!!! Now I fully realize this will probably make me sound like a spoiled brat or maybe that I don't love Cash and all but oh well...not ture. I'm just keeping it real. So here's the situation.....I got a little bonus at work this week and instantly running through my head I was thinking "what kind of food storage could I buy with this???---YEAH RIGHT! I instantly thought of this purse I've been wanting forever!!!! (it's pictured below---isn't it soooooo cute!) I mean, it's not totally selfish---it's actually a diaper bag also so I was of course was thinking about my little guy too! Anyway, then the sick realization hit me that Cash needed a new car seat! So yip, that's right---Cash is the proud owner of a new car seat---which I'll be honest---it makes me happy to see that he's so excited to be a big boy and facing forward so he can see so much more. I guess my heart grew two sizes that day. I guess the cute purse can wait and I'll just have to keep using the one purse I already have---oh wait, I like to collect purses like shoes---I think I might have more than one in the closet to use!

Superbowl Sunday

It was that time of year again....time for a superbowl party which quite honestly is just an excuse to get together with friends, make some grubbin food and send the guys downstairs while the girls stay upstairs and gossip. This year we had quite a few more kids in the mix so we of course sent them down to play in the basement! The above picture is to prove to Andy that Luke really does have a wife! Below is a picture of Sam---Carrie ditched him this weekend so he showed up with his three hungry boys and left with three tired and full boys!


Cash of course loves the attention from the ladies and was in heaven just snuggling with Auntie Missy on the coach. I couldn't believe how long he sat with her because he's such a busy body these days----and according to Missy he's a bully to the other kids. Below is a nice shot of the kids playing ---I love having a basement that I can banish them too!

So below is a series of shots from Cash's latest trick---he's figured out how to open the glass doors in the hutch and loves to climb in and "hide" in there. I use the term "hide" loosely since they are glass doors and all. The poor kid is such a clutz/daredevil that he has at least 5 bruises on his head at all times. My grandpa calls him Tuff Tumbleweed. I personally call him Bruiser. Good thing he's cute!
