Just a Bunch of Words…
| April 14, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Random Crap |
Amidst the Washi Tape craze that is going on here, other stuff is happening also. It’s good to be back in St. Louis. If you follow hockey, you then know that the Blues are in the Stanley Cup playoffs. If you follow baseball, then you know that today was the Cardinals home opener. It rained all day and the Cards lost to the stupid Cubs. I blame Friday the 13th. I went over to my parents house on Thursday evening after dinner to borrow a sander from my dad. It was awesome. I packed up the kids, I drove 2… Continue reading…
You Can Just Call Me Bobby…
| March 12, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Family |
OK so Ryan is talking up a storm which is great and all. The thing is…he seems to like to replace the “M” sound with a “B” sound… Milk = Bilk (not to be confused in the car for BOOK which he will then shoot you the look from hell and throw the book across the seat until you realize he meant MILK…true story) Cows say “Boo!” instead of MOO Momma = Bobba Which leads us to Mommy = Bobby. I now answer to Bobby. Michael has stared calling me Bobba and so has Freddy…it’s. just. wonderful. Let me tell… Continue reading…
Yearly Memory Calendar

I do realize that I may be posting this project a wee bit late but since it is revolving, it really doesn’t matter when you start it! With the colds we caught from the Holidays and then the recent passing of one of our family dogs, I am just moving a bit slow! I’d love to say that I am that mom that has her children’s baby books up to date, all shots recorded, when each of their teeth popped through, the funny things they say all documented in a cute baby book that holds their first cut lock of… Continue reading…
Goodbye Old Friend
| January 12, 2012 | Posted by Cheryl under Family |
Our oldest of our two dogs, Thumper, passed away during the night on Tuesday night. Freddy gets up each morning to go work out and then returns and walks the dogs. He came into our room a little after 6 am and told me that Thumper had passed away. He was 11.5 years old. I went to him and he was laying on his bed and was gone. He was a great dog. He was a STINKY dog, but a great one. He was incredibly loyal to me. I got him in college as a 6 week old pup. He… Continue reading…
Children’s Sensory Fun!
| November 23, 2011 | Posted by Cheryl under Activities |
Do you remember back this summer I told you that I loved our water table that the boys had? Well I decided to bring that table inside and take advantage of our wall to wall tile floors! No, I didn’t fill it with water…I filled it with dry pasta noodles! That’s right, ziti, rigatoni, egg noodles, farfalle and lasagna noodles. $5 at the dollar store! Please take a moment to notice two things: 1. Ryan’s shirt and the number of hand prints on my oven. I really should clean that but it will just look like that in 20 minutes… Continue reading…
Vehicle Upgrades

This is a post filled with pictures of my kids and not much else. Just putting that out there at the start! Freddy & I unfortunately are still driving the same rides, but the kids totally moved up in the world. We gave Michael a new bike for his birthday! It was much needed! Which means that Ryan got this: We enjoyed the wonderful weather and Michael rode his bike for what seemed like forever. Ryan rode his bike And then Freddy (my third child) had to get in on the action and give the new ride a twirl. Michael… Continue reading…
Baby Boy’s First Haircut
| October 24, 2011 | Posted by Cheryl under Family |
BREAKING NEWS!!!!! The baby mullet is GONE!!!! It was time. As much as I hated to cut his hair, it had to be done. Cutting your baby’s hair is like one of the many events that just beam flashing lights around the fact that he is growing up. You know, those annoying flashing bulb ones…I try to ignore them but it’s inevitable. So they say. I am still looking for a pause button and will not stop my search any time soon! In the summer, the baby mullet would curl all up in the humidity or when he was sweating… Continue reading…
Happy 5th Birthday Michael!
| October 19, 2011 | Posted by Cheryl under Family |
Happy 5th Birthday to my Sweet Boy! I can hardly believe that 5 whole years have already gone by! Here’s the day we brought Michael home from the hospital! He was so tiny and smelled soooooo good! I could have just stared at that precious face forever… and I still do…. He is full of energy and curiosity. I hope those traits never leave his side! He is sweet and caring and a fantastic big brother. He is my sunshine and the best thing to turn my life “Upside Down”. He has taught me to “Smile Like you Mean It”. He… Continue reading…
We Both Are Learning

Well…today was day 4 of Pre-K. The morning started out great. Michael woke up in a great mood, got dressed, ate breakfast, played with some letters and his little brother. He sang on the way to school and asked me 8 million questions and how to spell a few words, or rather spelled words for me. I turned left from Main St. onto 10th St. and that is when the devil himself jumped into my 4 year old! OH. MA. GAWD! He flipped the eff out! “I don’t want to go to school!” “I want to go home with you!” ”I am… Continue reading…
Mommapalooza 2011
| August 17, 2011 | Posted by Cheryl under Random Crap |
Yep, that is the name I graced our Mommy’s Only Float Trip that we had this past weekend. Merrsidotes and I kept complaining to one another that we needed something more than a night out. Something that was just for mommies where we could talk honestly and without criticism (husbands) and after all the belly aching about it, she sent out a group email to some mommies and we settled on a date. Seems so simple, wondering why it took us so long to actually just PICK A DATE! 5 Mommies were in attendance. We had a beautiful day filled with floating,… Continue reading…
