Sorry About That Last Post

While I do get frustrated with Jones on a regular basis, and while I always think that there's something I am doing wrong, that last blog post was mostly meant for me to let off some steam. I tried to make it a little funny (Jones is definitely not holistic, come on), but I'm afraid most of the humor got lost in the rest of the post - which, I'll admit, was rather heavy. I'm sorry. For those of you who've parented a threenager before and offered sympathy, thank you mucho. And for those who offered kind words and/or advice, it was also much appreciated. But I have to say it; the best part about the feedback I received from that post was that no one commented, "Yeah, you suck. Get it together." So guys, thank you all!

So I'm in the process of putting together a photo book of Millie's first year. It's long overdue, but going through the photos of the past year has made me all sorts of happy and sad. But mostly I want to share all those pictures, because who else is going to tell me how great they are or how cute my kids are - Kade? He's seen them, even been there done that. And am I supposed to wait 10+ years for someone to say, "Hey, let's break out the old hard drive and look through some family pics. Can we get the PC fired up? Too bad we still haven't gotten them converted to LaserDisc."

Anyway, without further adieu...

That Time My Brothers Came to Visit

Of course, the first thing Poowis did was take a bunch of dumb selfies on my phone. 

Then, even though for about 3 hours of me telling them to lay down and take a nap (red-eye) they said, "we're not tired" and crashed on the couch and floor. 

His childhood nickname was Bubbs, but Millie kept calling him Bubbeez so we'll stick with that from now on. 

Jones is such an adventure boy. He loves hiking and climbing on rocks and wading in rivers. The week his uncles were here he was having the time of his life! 

Oh and this was the view I got to giggle at the whole hike. I mean, could you just die? A baby girl in little running shorts and shoes and tiny piggy tails!
