Koop trying to jump off of Case's bike as fast as he could before I took a picture of him riding it! He is way to COOL to have proof of that!
I told Kenna to go put on some play clothes before she went out and she came downstairs decked out in her "pincess" clothes. Lovely!
Me and my boys!
The gang
Little monkey!
Jason is a superstar Daddy! He surprised Kate last night(and me, being that I knew NOTHING about it)with 2 tickets to see High School Musical on Ice. It was her surprise for not missing a SINGLE question on the TAKS test! We go next Wednesday night. She is beside herself! As am I, of course!
29 days and counting! Jason and I are taking a little trip to Oklahoma City for him to run in the OKC Memorial Marathon. He is actually running the half. This will be the first trip ALONE for us in a couple of years!!! He has gotten us rooms in a beautiful hotel downtown. Just blocks away from the start/finish line. I feel a little stress relief just thinking about it!! I am SO excited. We are calling it our "Tax season sucks getaway"!! Praise the Lord...April 15th is just around the corner! Although that sends a little twitch through my husband because he has SOOOO much to get done before then.
My days of a "tax-widow" (as another CPA wife put it this year) are nearing an end for yet another few months!!
I often get emails from a website called Mommasource. As I was browsing the questions this morning, as I drank my first cup of coffee, I came across this email someone had copied onto the site!!! I THINK IT IS HILARIOUS!!
No offense to all my daddy readers out there...I think there may be a whole 2 of you...I think you guys are awesome too!!
Enjoy...
The next Survivor series will be a little different... Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks.
Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes.
There is no fast food.
Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, and complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.
In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.
Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out on time.
Each man must a also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment.
He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care.
He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function.
Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.
The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, adorn himself with jewelry, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep fingernails polished and eyebrows groomed.
During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.
They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.
They will need to read a book and then pray with the children each night and in the morning, feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7:00 am.
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctor's name. Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up.
The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.
If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years eventually earning the right To be called Mother!
HEHEHE!! Have a great day!!

That email is hillarious...but oh so true. We were discussing how many men pay bills the other night at a church gathering. Guess what? Zero..including mine! One even said that his wife was gone for an extended period of time one time and she had to call and walk him through "how to pay bills" and he still messed up!
I lvoe the pictures.........if there is anything better....than seeing the end....TAX Season is over for you....and school is almost out for me...and then pregnancy is almost over....Way to go Kate....she must get her smarts from Mommy....steph
Man Reader -------------->
Survivor made me laugh.
I have read that email before...it is so funny because it is so true. Tell Kate congrats...that is a huge accomplishment. The poor kids get so stressed over that silly test. I am glad she did so well. It was great seeing you guys last week. Thanks for putting up with us. I hope everything withstood Hurricane Denver. He's a wild man!!!
I love that email story every time I read it! However, my sweet husband pays the bills and can take care of the kids, too! I cannot complain a bit!
Jill got a 100 on the TAKS, too, and is going to HSM on Ice on April 6! How funny is that!!
Glad to see the pics of your group.
Hey... I love the picture of you and all the kids. Case's eyes just REALLY stand out!! I am ready for tax season to be over, too. It gets really old about this time every year! We will make it though. I know yall will have fun at HSM... What a fun date for you and Kate.
Yes, we got the dreaded TAKS scores back, too, and my Kate only missed one question. She was so happy, and truly relieved, which made me laugh. She kept saying, "I get to go to 4th grade!" I kept saying, "Did you really think you wouldn't pass?!?!?!?" And, she was really concerned. Amazing. Any-hoo, maybe it's good that we don't KNOW that we're really smart... at least we're not conceited! ha ha! Have fun at HSM! And tell Kate congrats from us!!
