Nudist Rules


Rand’s new favorite thing is to scream and cry if I don’t let him in the bathroom with me. But then when he needs to go I have to pwomise not to look because he needs his pwivacy. He'll spend half the day running around the house nude, but when it's business time he's gotta have pwivacy, man. 

He wanted to take a bath with me the other night, so I put on my swimming suit. He said, “Why are you wearing your swimming costume?” I told him he was too old to see me naked, and he said, “Oh, so daddy is too old to see you naked, too.”

Sorry, Cole. I mean, how do you argue with logic like that?

Tukk Turns 11


-->


In honor of The Tukk’s birthday, here’s a breakdown of his life so far.

His first 4 months: 2 ½ eternities

His first 3 years: 1.75 lifetimes

Years 4-7: 182 billion laughs, 49 million adventures, 11 million epic car conversations, allllll the sugar and donuts, in just 3 blinks.


Even now, 11 years later, I still get a little weepy on his birthday. We have experienced more than a lifetime’s worth of heartache over this boy. But man, the magic this dude has brought into our lives outweighs the hard stuff by infinity. Times two.

Happy birthday Tukk – thanks for sticking around!





Cauldee to the Rescue




Rand: Mom, where did you get me from?
Me: From heaven!
Rand: But really, how did you get me?
Me: Ummmmmmm *begins fully panicking because I am NOT prepared to have this conversation with a 4 year old*
Caulder: We got you at Walmart, of course. You were on sale for $4.99 and mom was like, “Hey, that’s a great deal. We can’t pass that up. So we put you in our cart and brought you home!”
Rand: Oh, and then you just put batteries in me?
Caulder: Right!

St. Geezy Girls' Trip

We finally resurrected the St. George girls' trip! We used to go every summer, but it's been years since we've been down to see ...
