No More Training Wheels!

This is kinda a funny story how this all started with Mason riding his bike with no training wheels. For some reason my kids just teach themselves everything. What good parents I know. If something is laying around the yard they pick it up and figure it out. Everyone always ask how and why and I can't even take credit for it.

Last week we had Colton's mom over to babysit while we went to a family BBQ and when we get home and his mom was telling us all about Mason riding this random bike in the back yard with no training wheels. Colton and I were so confused and didn't know what she was talking about. There was a bike that we had laying in the yard with no training wheels and Mason told his grandma that the boys down the street can ride with no training wheels but he can't do it very good. So grandma being a good sport helped him ride all night long. When we got home she just couldn't believe that the whole time she thought he had been practicing when actually we hadn't helped him do it at ALL! I guess he had been trying on his own and picked it up.

Since that day he just kept trying all by himself and kept saying he really wanted to do it. Colton finally said ok Mason lets go out in the street and try. No pads or helmet or even tennis shoes and he just takes off down the road all by himself. I was shocked! He is not even four yet. I took a few pictures and a viedo but I won't bore you with the viedo just the pictures.

Dear Dr. Phil

I am seriously considering writing Dr. Phil and adding my two cents just like everyone else. But then I was thinking no one would even read it. This is why I am posting it because I feel like maybe someone will read it. My thoughts of course are regarding Nadya Suleman. I am boiling inside for many reason most of them have already been addressed by Dr. Phil himself but the one thing I can not get over is that she keeps says everything is 100% for the children. All that I have to say is BULL crap. If all that I had to do was have kids life would be great. If I had some one to take care of my children or help with my children, feed my children, put food on my table, remodel my house, provide cribs, car seats, nanny them, play with them, provide diapers, wipes, formula, toys, clothes, clean the house, do the laundry and what ever else everyone is doing for her for FREE. That is for her. That is the easy way out for her. What does she do to provide for her children NOTHING! This was her plan all along to just wait and let everyone else do all the work for her. She thinks she is going back to school in a year....the school is going to make "special arrangements" for her to bring her kids to day care. I bet she is not paying for it. How is she going to get them there she doesn't have a vehicle big enough. Oh wait she is waiting for someone to take care of that for her. Like everyone else we work hard to provide for our family. We do the best we can. My family has no health insurance but we do the best we can. Does Nayda clip coupons..I don't think so. Everyone struggles it's hard and we all are looking for a break but come on. People in California aren't even getting state tax returns because the state has no money to pay them. Maybe because they spent it all on Nayda's children's care. It actually might not be a bad idea for them to go to foster care or be adopted. She cannot take care of all those children. Someone else is already taking care of them. Once her care is done for those babies what is going to happen? I am sure foster care isn't the greatest but I know a few people that would love those babies. They are never going to be normal. The might just be better off somewhere else. I am sure she enjoys all this attention and free stuff but one day it will all go away and then what? Her kids are going to be in jail cause their mom is "CRAZY" and if they would have been in a "family" not a circus, life just might be a little different. There are some women out there like Nayda that should NOT be allowed to bring children into this world. What message is this sending have as many children as you want and someone else with do all the work and pick up the bill. Anyways nothing I can do about it but I am glad you all are reading. I would never give one penny to her or those babies but I would gladly take one baby (or two) and raise him or her as my own.

Brinley's Day With Mom

On Saturday Brinley had a fun day with mom. We went to my cousin Alexis's bridal shower at my aunts house. It was a packed house. I helped out a little bit with the food preparation but I think I ate more than I made. JK Brinley thought it was great because they don't get one on one time very often with anyone let alone mom. Brinley also enjoyed the food and the swings. Congrats to Alexis!

Moving????

No we are not moving just the stuff on these shelves. You can only take so much MESS!!!! This picture is a regular moment at our home. Ashton with no assistance can climb the cabinets open the cupboard and dump something in two seconds flat. I am so done cleaning up salt, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, cooking spray, lotion and much more. So we pack everything up and the little man himself helped in hopes of showing him there is NOTHING here anymore. Poor Mason thought we were moving again. It's almost as funny when Mason asks who is coming over when we start cleaning. Can't we just clean up.
