hello, hello, it's been awhile.

i don't know, kind of not in the mood to write lately. i was a little embarrassed (don't know if that is the right word) for my previous post. since i have a self imposed policy that i don't delete something that's already been posted, it's still there. anyways, a little embarrassed about my post to teach tyler this summer. i reread it and it comes off somewhat haughty. all i can say is this- like every mom, i do the best that i can do. i'm very honest and open on this blog, and it's sometimes hard to decide what to share and what to keep to myself. enough said about that.

this week is spring break! if you think about it, spring break is pretty short.... only five days to basically do five things! in any case, i'm happy to have some leisure time and think this rest week is much deserved! :) we'll most likely be taking another trip to the bay area next weekend and the boys are excited about that.

tyler lost two teeth in the last two weeks. his first letter to the tooth fairy read, "dear tooth fairy, i deserve it. love, tyler." i guess he thought he deserved the money he would be getting. cracked me up. the second letter read, "dear tooth fairy, take good care of my tooth. my dad took it out and smacked me on top of my head. love, tyler." because jason smacked tyler on top of his head as he pulled out his tooth. kids say (write) the darndest things.

tyler is turning into a big bookworm, or what jason and i call him behind his back- a big geek. :)  he takes books with him everywhere he goes. it is actually really cute to go somewhere and have your child's nose in a book. well, it's cute to me.

one morning this week, i was in a bad mood. chase just spilled milk everywhere and the boys were fighting and i was fed up! i was standing in laundry area and chase came up to me and said, "mommy?" i had had it and i yelled, "WHAT?!!!" in the loudest, nastiest voice. all of a sudden, chase started laughing, like in this, i can't believe you just yelled at me like that laugh. it kind of made me laugh and i said, "what is so funny?" and he said, " because you said 'WHAT?!!!'" and imitated me. oh, the way he did it...he sounded like a high school boy and the way he was laughing at me, you had to have seen it, but it completely made me start laughing. i love my chase. he is my BABY, but he has this way about him that makes him seem like he much older at the same time. the things he finds funny, the way he laughs- lights up my days.

yeah, a lazy sunday...
