Friday Musings

-Why do they make car seat covers impossible to put back on. It's like a conspiracy to make us have to buy a new one simply because we cannot figure out how to put the cover back on. I washed our stroller cover when Lexi was a baby and it has never been the same since like does not sit up all the way just lays back never been the same.

-Next purchase: blackout shades. Really Diesel 6:00 all week is way too early for your poor mother who is now grumpy because of sleep deprivation. I guess I could go to bed earlier, but I don't too many good shows to watch (Parks and Rec was so funny last night).

-I am glad the "wedding" is finally over. I complained nonstop about how much everyone was talking about it I was so sick of it, but I might of set up the DVR to record it :)

-My name is Jayme and I am a candyaholic, but for some reason with the record amount of candy from Easter in my pantry I have not killed myself yet.

-Warning if you are thinking of coming to my house right now the chickens are still in the garage and they STINK! Is there a name for baby chicken meat like there is for other young animal meat :)

Have a Great Weekend!

The Big D turns 2

It is so hard to believe that it has been two years since I was pregnant last. Time goes by so fast. I remember his birth day like it was yesterday. I was so tired of being pregnant. I was ready to be done when I was only 20 weeks along. That's why I know if I were to get pregnant again I would want to be done even sooner. Diesel fits his name so well. He grunts to communicate, but he is getting better. He cuddles so good and is so funny. He can pull his sister's hair like no other and can throw a fit like any two year old can. I love him so much and am so grateful that he is part of our family. Happy Birthday Diesel!

Camping In April!?

So this last weekend we headed to Cascade Park in Arlington for an overnight camping trip. It was just going to be Wynden and the two older kids, but Hunter said he really wanted it to be a family trip (how can you say no to that). I am not big into camping. I hate bugs. I don't like to be cold. I have a bad back so sleeping on rock solid ground does not do me any good. With that being said I went with a good attitude knowing that would make it better for for everyone. When we go there the kids were so excited. It is by a river, so the kids were playing on the beach, building things with sticks, collecting ricks, and just exploring. Diesel loved it. We chose the most quiet and secluded spot we thought until about an hour and a half after we got there and then 15 young boys showed up and set up camp right next to us. Not so quiet any more. We had a really good time. I was a so warm during the night. I had Karlee on one side of me and Hallie on the other and both sides you could not have put a quarter between us, so they kept me nice and warm. Also Wynden had bought two air mattresses, so I was very comfortable. It actually was one of the better night sleeps I have gotten in quite a while.

The highlight of the trip for me was Hallie and Karlee got to experience an outhouse for the first time. You should have seen their faces when I explained how it worked. It was pretty funny. Karlee (sitting on the seat): "Mom, where's the flusher?" Hallie hated it and cried every time she had to use it. She said the seat hurt her.

I am not so hesitant about going camping now. I do hate the cleanup though so many things to wash for one night.

Braid Today, Dread Locks Tomorrow

Karlee has had this braid in since Tuesday. She has showered and tubbed all week and it has held up very well if I do say so myself.

Chicken, chicken that's the starting bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk

Well we are currently cowless (unless you count what's in our freezer), so Wynden decided we needed chickens. We bought 12 little baby chicks. What for you might ask...Well I'm really not sure why Wynden thought this would be a good idea. The eggs will be nice, but I don't see us eating the actual chicken - I mean I am not going to cut its head off and then pluck all the feathers not really my thing. I am not really all that excited about this new venture. The chicks home is right where you walk into my house in our garage, making that area even more congested with all the shoes the kids kick off and just leave there. They entertained the kids the first weekend when it was all so new, but now they are starting to get bigger and uglier (losing their fluff for feathers) and nobody cares about them anymore. Bad attitude I know, but I am the one who has been cleaning up the mess made from all the bedding that gets tracked into my kitchen from the garage. I guess give me some eggs and I will have an attitude adjustment.

The title of the blog comes from an old favorite song of my brother-in-laws Trevor. When he was younger he threw a fit when nobody would let him pick a song to sing for family night and when they finally did he forgot his song so he came up with those lyrics somehow. Nobody ever could figure out the song. We make fun of him every once in while about it.

All She Wants For Christmas...

Should be her dad's front teeth. Wynden has smaller teeth and well mine aren't so small. Wynden gives me a pretty hard time about my good ol' buckeroos. I just can't imagine Karlee being so petite with my huge front teeth the first thing you see when she smiles. Lexi and Hunter both have my teeth so it should be time for Wynden's small teeth genes to appear don't you think. I guess time will tell. Let's just hope for her sake that if they are my teeth they will take a long time to come in and she will be well into her teens, big enough to support the suckers.

The Great Toilet Paper Debate

Dallas, March 8, 2010 – After months of deliberation, the votes have been tallied and the results of Cottonelle brand’s Roll Poll are in. When asked how they prefer to roll their toilet paper – over or under – 72 percent of Americans said they roll over. Among these: Tori Spelling and Jayme Holman. According to Dr. Gilda, “People who roll over like taking charge, crave organization and are likely to overachieve. It seems to me that Americans are passionate about rolling over due to the sense of control that it gives them.” Sounds about right to me :)

The question is how obsessive compulsive am I?

How do you think I prefer my toilet paper: to come over the roll or under the roll. Do I switch it to the way I like it if Wynden or the kids put it in on wrong. You bet I do. I can't stand it. I don't like how it looks the wrong way. How do you hang your toilet paper?

Karlee Karlee

Who said we're not multicultural here. I'm not sure the look she was going for here. The only thing I can think of is we were just at a birthday party with my family and one of my nieces has piercings in those exact spots on her face...
