Five a clock Monday morning

Woken up without a warning

#s1 and2 are vibrant full of glee

“Cereal, cereal” they demand of me

I pull myself out of bed

Down the stairs I slowly head

#2 is in my arms

#1 wants lucky charms

“Quiet, quiet” I softly plea

Do not wake #3

I drag my body back to bed

The babies call is what I dread

Awake to the cry of #3

A diaper change, she needs of me

As I quickly clean the poo

I hear the call of #2

It’s bath time now for the boys

Soapy tub full of toys

Water ends up everywhere

1 and 2 don’t even care

I shower now but not alone

#1 has an agitated tone

#2 has art to show

#3 soaking wet, head to tow

It’s off to school at 8:30

The baby is already dirty

First I drop of #2

Then #1, now I’m through

Naptime now for #3

Cleaning time for me you see

Wake up baby at 12:00

Pick up #2, we talk

Shopping now we go

With two kids we go slow

Now at home we have some fun

At 3:30 we pick up one

I make dinner, 3 kids at my feet

In walks dad, with smiles they greet

We sit down for our meal

But not without one big spill

Bath time now for the baby

She is so sweet our little lady

I lay her softly into bed

I slowly stroke her little head

Dad is gathering up the boys

#2 wants to sleep with toys

Cat Stevens dad will play

As the boys sweetly lay

The crazy day is now over

I spend some time with my lover

He is my husband smart and funny

He makes my life warm and sunny

Now as I lay in my bed

A crazy thought runs through my head

I dream of having#4

Yes I need at least one more.

The Photo above is of my children around the time I wrote this poem.....this is a photo of my children now!

So do any of you fellow bloggers see my problem..........Were the fetch is #4!!!!!!! I ask myself this Question constantly, I also ask my husband this question. We used to have mature conversations about it. I used to ask him questions like "So dearest, when do you think we could add another little angle to our heavenly home?" Now I just find myself screaming "WERE IS MY BABY!!!" Now I really don't want to be crass, but that is what I have become. The tic toc of my biological clock is slowlly driving me insane.
I will ask you....Is it sane to jump three rows in reliefsociety to grab another woman baby, and heaven forbid if that mother looks at her child...for if she does she will hear a shrill "TURN AROUND". I am not kidding, I really did this. I literally grab a baby from his frightened mothers arms and that yelled at her for looking at him..(I didn't want him to go back to her)
I really can't do anything about this situation....besides maybe drugging my man. I guess I just had to vent my frustrations. Thanks for reading Annie, Kristie,and Lori.

Hawaii

It has been too long since my last blog...and I can say I do not know how long it will be until my next, but I had such a great time with the Family in Hawaii that I had to write something and of coarse post some pics. The picture above is only my family but not all of them.....there were 30 of us on this trip, it was quite the crew. In 2007 we have added 2 new sister in laws and 1 new baby.


The trip had a bumpy start, first our original flight was canceled so we had to leave a day early and stay in Malibu for a night. Our flight from Utah to LA resulted in lost luggage and a search for an available rental car. The above shots show my children's delight in the situation.





But once we were there...their attitudes quickly changed. The boys had loads of fun on the water slides...and baby darlin' loved the sand pool.


We celebrated Christmas at the hotel. There were loads of questions about the logistics of Santa getting in without a chimney. Also "why were Santa's presents wrapped in the same paper as mom and dad presents"...."how did he get into mom and dads room without us noticing" ...it went on and on. But it wasn't to hard to explain, because Santa is magic!



One of our greatest adventures of the trip was going to all the waterfalls. The kids were great little hikers and the falls were all beautiful. Well...that was the trip...and this was the blog, I have to apologizes for the lack of amusing antidotes...but all my attention was focused on the technical aspects of blogging...and for anyone who know me, that can be very overwhelming.

Photo's of 2007

motherhood, cooking, photography blah, blah,blah

I am writing this blog for my bestest friend, Annie. I spent alot of time pondering what my first blog would be about, unfortunatly I am not to interesting. So I decided to write about that.
When ever anyone asked what my interests are three words come out of my mouth; motherhood, cooking, and photography. The problem with that is just as they come out of my mouth, the same three word are spewed simultaneously from millions of mothers all over the world. It not our faults...we are home with our children all day with nothing to do but cook, take pictures, OH and lets not forget placing said pictures into very crafty scrapbooks.
I know that I am simplifying what we do as mothers, our job is complex and most days very fulfilling. I just sometimes wish that I could be one of those mothers that say " oh I am a professor of micro biology at Yale". Actually I would hate being a micro biologist....I guess that is why I am a mother, because it's what I have always wanted to be. I just wish it wasn't so freaken' common.
