Why is there poop on the stairs?

Ok so the title of this one should explain why I have not posted anything in a month or so, I have kids! This past month has been super busy. After mother's day we spent the last weekend with may parents in a great trip to halibut cove and then picked up the kids and finished with a beach house in Seward. Then they headed back to Wisconsin and we tried to get a bunch of stuff done before we left on our motor home trip around Alaska. That is right we played tourist. We rented a motor home and hit all the "cool" places in our home state. The kids loved it. They liked the bunk beds the best. I was planning for the worst with no naps and all sleeping in the same place but it was great. Now since being home we have celebrated my 27th birthday and finally got the garden in (better late then never). So now that I have given a really really short play by play of the last month I feel accomplished! I don't have the energy to post pictures at this time...but just think it will keep you coming back for more. Oh and about the title so with each of my children I have found there is a poop story. However, with Brahm there has been a few. This morning, after getting Brahm out of his PJ's (OK it was more towards noon but who is keeping track) I decide to let him run all Nat-u-ral for a little while...bad idea. I ran to the bathroom real quick like and am walking out when I hear Auden say "Um mm Mommy...Brahm pooped up the stairs!" I was not sure if I heard her right so I said "What?" Yup, I heard her right! As I turned the corner to go up the stairs I was greeted by little brown foot prints....all the way up the stairs! Only to find a very messy poop covered boy sitting on the top of the stairs. All he had to say for himself was "yucky mommy" as he took another pull off his sippy cup. I took one look at Auden who was keeping her distance but was still sitting next to him and another at him...and decided right then and there (after the first moment of panic subsided)....I am thankful for poop episodes because it helps you remember that life is funny! So, with that I hope you all find humer in the poopiest of situations. Ok well then until next time....

Mother's Day

Well it was a great Mother's day. My hubby is top notch. I had a day of leisure. I got breakfast and a picnic at the beach and I didn't even have to plan it! Jesse's family came down for the day and my parents were here so it was a day spent with all those I love. It was great. As always I will let the pictures do the talking....Auden loving her third smore. She had a blast flying kites and chillin with the family.

Uncle Jed teaching Brahm the fine art of flying kite. The best part was that we tied it to a log and a car was driving on the beach and snagged the string and it dive bombed the windsheild...It was great.


Brahm thought this whole having his own log thing was the cat's meow. He was just hanging out.
