"Rain Rain, Go Away...

....do not come again another day!"















When I was four, mom said she came into my room one morning and she said, "guess what it's doing outside" (in a kind of sad face voice).

She said I looked at her, whipped the covers off of me angrily, shuffled to the window, pulled back the curtains (angrily again) and said, "oh man!".....then shuffled back, got into bed and pulled the covers back over my head.

I have always disliked the rain (I would say hate, but I'm trying to be kind). I feel trapped, isolated, cornered, entangled, confined, suffocated, the perfect definition of H.E.double-hockey-sticks for me!!

When we had the drought a few years ago, I loved it! I know the farmers suffered, even my dearest friend had to sell their entire cattle due to the drought, but I absolutely did not miss it one tiny bit.

So, I feel sorry for my kids when we have to be indoors for any length of time. Today has been one of those days.....I captured some pictures (one being my house is utterly a pigsty now)!

We made the most of it but I think it's really just me who's suffering the most.....HELP!

Sun, sun come out, come out where ever you are!





More Sweet Sleeping Pics

April 13 - Sweet pics. I heart the innocence of a sleeping baby......


















April 18th - I LOVE these two nightnight pictures. I told you Julia gets into some crazy positions! This one is just sweet.....love the hands. ((Of course I didn't leave her this way))
















April 19th - Johnathan. I always get a pic of the both of them, so I'm not sure why I didn't get Julia, hmmmm?



















April 20th - Julia (didn't get Johnathan because when I went in there to take a picture, the Mister stood up.....whoops!)















April 21st - Just got Johnathan because.....well, I don't remember why.

Sweet Baby Bankheads

Doncha just love when they're sleeping?

I always tell Jason that if I die, he HAS to take over the tradition of checking on the children before going to bed.

I go in and check on Johnathan first, which he seems to always have his blanket over his face or his hands in some cute position, etc. He is just the cutest boy EVER! He snores, which I think is hilarious.....so cute!

Then I move on to Julia's room, she manages to end up in the oddest positions. I pick her up and shove her as close to the wall as I can hoping she doesn't work her way back into the same cock-a-mee-mee position again in the middle of the night. Such a sweetheart.

Anyhoo, I started taking photos of this tradition to be reminded of the sweetness of their little lives. Here are a few in date order starting from the beginning of the year to a couple of days ago. **And even though it looks like pictures from the same night (cuz of their jamjams), these are all different nights.

Happy Birthday, Jason!

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy BIRTHDAY dear Jason, Happy Birthday to you!!!"

It's Jason's birthday today! We had a fun day. Kids gave them his cards and present ($$ to Home Depot), HE cooked breakfast for us (whoops! my intention was to have Julia and I cook HIM breakfast), we left and went to Kohl's and bought a couple of shirts for him (he got some money from Boppy), then we went to Dave and Busters for a surprise lunch with our dear friends.

We got home about 3:45, kids (and mom) napped til 5ish, we left about 6:15 pm to take them to Kiddin' Around and then the birthday boy and I went to the movies (a very rare thing we do these days)! We saw Monsters vs Aliens 3D. Soooo cute of a movie

So that's it.....another year to spend with Jason. I thanked his mom for having sex 34 years ago so that I could now have a wonderful husband to spend the rest of my days with. Thanks Sharon!

Here are some pics from the birthday lunch and some ice cream with the kids afterward:

TEA Party

TaxedEnoughAlready!! We went and joined others last night to stand up for what we believe as far as how the government wants to spend our money.

Ever since going through the Truth Project, my eyes have been opened to a whole new perspective on the world we live in. If you go to the site, watch one of the videos there in the middle of the page (either the short or long one). And hopefully you make it a priority to go through the study. It asks some really hard questions, but will cause you to think about what you REALLY believe in.


If you haven't already sent your tea bag into Washington, you can click here and do it now.

Anyhoo, here are some pictures of mi familia at one of the Frisco TEA Parties last night.
