Superman, Batman and Tinkerbell


Halloween this year was busy x 3!!! With Superman, Batman and Tinkerbell here, all of them can FLY, I had to chase them around!! They had fun, and got WAY to much candy that I am going to have to sneak to the trash without them knowing.... do you think that will work?

Superman aka Sawyer "Lots of Questions" Lowe, had tons of questions about Superman tonight. IF he was not asking "Can I have another piece of Candy"he was asking:
How did Superman Save the Earth?....
Where is Earth?....
Who is Superman saving the Earth from?...
Can a gun kill Superman?...
Will you carry a gun to kill the bad people that are after me (aka Superman)?...
Did the bad people tie the Earth up to a Rocket Ship and try to take it away, and Superman cut the rope?....
Are the bad people coming here if we live on Earth?....
What is Kryptonite?
Where did Kryptonite come from?
How did it get on Earth?
Where is outer space?

He also HAD to have the Superman Curl. I didnt' even know he knew Superman had a curl in his hair.... but he did, and it made me do it over and over until I got it right! "NO MOMMY, it curls down and then up!"

Braxton was showing everyone his BIG muscles, and running after his big brother pretending to fly. He did NOT want to let go over his Candy Bag.... I couldn't even put his car seat belt on because he was grasping the bag so hard and wouldn't let go. I believe I have a little sweet tooth kid on my hands!

Maci took her magic wand and hit the boys a few times with it. (She can hold her own already). In the car it was like clockwork, the hair bow came flying out, the shoes were off and the smile was on because she loves her new frontwards car seat!

We went to see Granddaddy Joe and walked around the neighborhood to "TRICK or TREAT" a couple of people... and then back home for us! Nice and short!


Braxton's so sad it is over.... poor baby!

Shoes....

So now I have my little girl.... I have no doubts that she is going to BREAK me and Scott because her biggest passion is SHOES! The minute she gets up from sleeping she says "Shooos", goes to her closet and opens the door, picks some shoes out and she will wear her Shoes and Diaper around the house until I can chase her down and put some clothes on her. She will go in my closet and put on every shoe she possibly can and wear it around the house. She puts Sawyer and Braxton's shoes on, she will even wear daddy's flip flops... the girl is obsessed! I got her... I wanted her.... and I am going to go broke on HER! :-)

Need to read....

The best motivational speaker I have ever heard in my life... Keith Harrell... passed away Oct 24, 2010. Amazing man, Amazing speaker... sad loss. He spoke to us March 2010 and was diagnoised with spinal cancer May 2010. BUT I bet this man took this news with great stride and kept the right attitude to live life to it fullest right until Oct 24th.

Right now I am sitting here listening to the CD that was given to us from the company from where he spoke to us. AMAZING!

Attitude is everything....
You can never steal my joy....
70% of your attitude is non-verbal....
My attitude is everything....
I will dream big dreams...
My attitude is super fantastic....
I will overcome, overpower, and overturn all obstacles...
I will not let anyone or anything impact my postive attitude...

LIFE IS 10% OF WHAT HAPPENS TO ME AND 90% OF HOW I RESPOND.....

Rule #1 Don't sweat the small stuff, Rule #2 it is all small stuff....

40% worries have already happened, 30% will never occur, 12% are about unfound health conditions, 10% make up daily nothings, why spead 92% on your worries on daily nothings... 8% don't belong to you... Cash your favors and do what belongs to you... KEEP FOCUSED!

Are you responding to life or reacting?

I realize this day, this moment, I control my destiny....

I choose to have a postive attitude....

Enthusiasm- I will never let the kid in me die...

If I can look up, I can get up...

I will control my mouth gate and watch my words.
My tongue is the pen to my heart.
If I can't say anything good, I won't say anything....

Garbage in.... Garbage stays. i will watch out for negative inputs.... (Don't ever watch the news before bed, or at all... never read the front page of the newpaper)

How are you? BRAND NEW, "WHAT?" Everyday is Brand new, you are brand new, I am brand new, it is a good day!

I control my destiny with my attitude....

WHY BE POSTIVE? Because any day above the ground is a good day. I bet Keith took this to heart until the day his soul went to heaven.

Yes, it is sad that Keith passed away, but really it is really wonderful that he touched so many peoples life and CHANGED so many peoples life. I never heard one person say a negative thing about this man after he talked to us. I do hope that you will check his website out and if you can listen to him or read his books please do. He will make you have a better attitude overall!!!!

I keep his card in my car on my dashboard at all times because it helps me stay focused and keep a postive attitude!!!

My attitude.... is everything!!!

I need to look at his card more often and listen to him more often because we all get in this rut, from a family member loss, or possibly losing your job, or something bad happening to your family, or your kids trying your last nerve.... it all ties back into how YOU HANDLE IT, How you treat other people, How you keep you attitude SUPERFANTASTIC!!!

One last thing.... You form a habit in 21 days, so laugh every morning for 21 days, smile at everyone for 21 days, be happy for 21 days, don't watch the news (except for the weather) for 21 days, always keep a positive attitude for 21 days.... anything that will make you feel good, do it for 21 days!!! It WILL make you feel better!

My life



I think about blogging all the time... however by the time I sit down to do it, I think, what was I going to blog about???? You can call that forgetful or just to much chaos to think... either way, it is my LIFE!

My life is wonderful... and what do I mean by wonderful? The kitchen always has crumbs, paper that has been cut to pieces, or spilt milk all over the floor... and that is AFTER I sweep! The rug is full of sand and foot prints full of mud... and yes, that is my EXPENSIVE rug that I just had to have! There are toys everywhere, I step on cars, baby dolls, trip over MICKEY MOUSE, and fall over pillows that are suppose to be on the couch! While trying to cook dinner, Maci is screaming "EAT" while tugging at my leg OR pulling all the tuperware out of the drawers and scattering them all over the floor, and the boys are fighting over which crayon they are going to use and who hit who. The phone is ringing off the hook and I don't even try to get it because I wouldn't be able to hear whomever was calling me anyway because of the screaming. I have to admit, the anxiety level is REALLY high at this point, and you are probably wondering WHY in the world could I call this life wonderful???

Well, simple! Sawyer is my blessing, Braxon is my Hersery Kiss, Maci is my princess, and Scott is my savior! My whole life I have always said I wanted 3 kids, and a handsome husband that loves me for WHO I AM! And God answered my prayers with all that and MORE! All those years of going through heart breaks and just guys that help to take up time, lead me to what I wanted since I was a little girl.... this WONDERFUL CHAOTIC FAMILY! Yes, my life is wonderful and I would not want it any other way!
My extended, wonderful chaotic family above is one of the "MORE" that God has blessed me with. To have one wonderful family that I was born into, then to add all these amazing people into my life... Again, my life is WONDERFUL!
