I live in a Van down by the river~!

So you all remember the beloved Chris Farley. I remember watching Saturday night live w/ Brian and Steve back in college laughing hysterically when he would dive into furniture and DESTROY it.
Well today 4 months and however many days prego... I pulled a Chris Farley in the garage. At the time.. it was not funny but after the realization I was not hurt, and finally stopped crying.. I started laughing. Laughing so hard I couldn't even explain to Brian what I had done.
So we were going to meet B for lunch and then go to the store and get gas. I got the boys in the car and buckled and went back to get sippy cups. On my way out the garage door I slipped on the stupid cattle roping rope left on the garage floor by loving children who were fighting over it yesterday. On my downfall I managed to take out two huge empty boxes laying side by side and smashed them FLAT. It went so fast and my hands were full that I hit really hard on my hip, elbow and wrist. I am ok... but I cant wait to see how big that bruise will be in a day or two. I started crying just because it hurt.. but then when I saw i pulverized the boxes I kept thinking "I live in a van down by the river" and I started laughing and crying. I am such a mess. Just thought it was too hilarious not to share! Cant wait for the next goofy thing I do...

Spence boys bunny and bluebonnet pics!

 So we decided to merge our bluebonnet and bunny pics this year. I love taking pics but getting them to smile for me is SO hard. They are getting old enough now its getting easier and I got some pics I will treasure forever! Brian brought home 2 bunnies and the boys fell in LOVE. After all the itchy eyes and sneezing... we decided we were bunny sitting NOT bunny owners. We had them for almost two weeks and It was the best two weeks of Jacobs life. He was IN LOVE with the bunnies. He would hold them for 2-3 hours at a time every morning, and push them around in little wagons and cars. Poor bunnies! We were sad to see them go but can go visit anytime! Happy Easter and hope you enjoy the pics. My fav is nathan with his boot up on the pot and Jacob holding the bunny in the air! Love those boys!

PLUS looks like baby number 3 will be another smelly BOY! So look forward for pics of all 3 in years to come!

Got IT!!!

Too funny! So Jacob woke up from his nap very bitchy! He was whining and fussing for what seemed like 20 mins. I fixed them dinner and after I gave him lucky charms he finally stopped fussing (daddy is out of town so i am letting some things slide:)

So they are eating and it has been quiet for like 5 mins! When all a sudden Jacob starts the incoherent babbling and I can tell he is NOT happy. I went to check out the situation and found that Jacob was upset because a fly was trying to eat his dinner. I got the fly swatter and asked "do you see the fly?"

I look at Nathan sitting on the table cross-eyed looking up as he yells "YES mom its on my head" and there it was right on the top middle of his head. I said "can i hit it?" he said "get it" so SMACK.

 I swatted it right on his head and killed it.... then we all fell on the floor rolling in laughter!!!

WAS HILLLLLLARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He told me I was a NINJA like him and I almost peed in my pants!!!

Whale of a whale watch.

Well I didn't get great pics or videos of the whales...  because as Brandie says.. turn off your camera and they come out. Sooo true! We got to go out on a friend of Brandie's boat. He has a 65 ft catamaran.  We got a private tour with only our family and Brandie, Clint and Clint's parents! It was so cool we got to take a tiny boat out to the big boat. He would run it up on the beach load us up and roll back out with the tide. I told him he looked like such a badass!

This boat had 2 bathrooms (which can i just tell you DON'T go down there in big waves... that WILL bring your stomach to a roll) and a tv, it also had these two big nets out in the front that we could lounge on the kids loved climbing on them. The covered area was cool but with the wind you dare not sit under there too long either or you get sick.
Being pregnant my goal was NOT to puke on the boat! Well I did not... but I did get puked on! Jacob Tanners 2 year old sea legs lasted 30 mins before he got sick and ended up passing out the rest of the trip.

We saw a couple different groups of whales and even got to see an energetic baby that was full body leaping out of the ocean. The big boys tried to snorkel but the current was too strong where they got in. It was an absolute once in a lifetime trip have a boat like that all to ourselves.

Maui is a beautiful place. It really helps that Brandie and Clint know where to go and what to do and have hookups for everything. This trip was so awesome ... I  will post much more once we slow down and I have time!

maui

poor guy!

sea sick baby!

like a trooper woke up and was right back whale watching!

Mahalo! or as brian says...Ma-holla!

Big Bad Wolf

The boys like for me to play the big bad wolf. Its fun when I can catch them but most the time they get into the third story of their playhouses and wont come down. On occasion I will catch one of them or get close and Nathan will yell "Be a good mama" if I get to scary.

 Well I guess as time has gone on they are not as scared but I love the looks on their faces when I do it. I was outside with the camera last week and caught this fun little piggy action.

pitter patter...... click- slam!

So we ran around town this morning, met daddy for lunch, swung by toysrus then headed home. Its a pretty day so we picked flowers, weeded the flower beds, fed donkey, then played in the backyard with bubbles and shells. Their cheeks were getting red so we headed in for drinks and a small snack.  I said "Ok its nap time"... I hear... pitter patter pitter patter, the door click open and the screen door slam!!! That little mess jacob tanner just had a jail break at the mere mention of nap time!
Nathan and I were sitting on the couch and we just both started laughing. I had to go outside and find him. He was hiding in the little house. Took me two mins to fish him out. Tears the whole way to bed. I read him 6 books to calm him down, but the tears came a flowing when the lights went out.

Cracks me up.

Nathan came out this morning and I put on mickey mouse clubhouse while they ate their breakfast. (when I do something he likes he always lets me know) He came up and put his hands on my face and told me "Your my favorite BIG mommy". Thanks nay... I love your descriptive words! Now I will go eat a salad. :)

Valentines Shenanigans!

Well of course I got the idea off pinterest. I decided to take pics of the boys holding a fist and you cut the pic and insert a sucker to make an adorable valentines card. Well I was thinking ... "how easy this will this be" .. NO. I must have taken 40 pics of nathan. That little monkey would either not hold his hand or smile or not look at me. Well when reviewing the outtakes, the one i chose just seemed to work with his eyes looking up. He tried to barter with me to take a pic.. he told me he needed "2 candies and a cookie" REALLY??? Well I guess I wont be bartering at lunch anymore!~LOL!

 Jacob was NOT cooperating either. I was tickling him and got him to smile and luckily he had a fist in the pic and that one just happened to work out too. I taped cars valentine on the back and wrote happy valentines day w/ a red sharpie. TOO CUTE.

So this is the finished product:

So in asking about valentines day... I asked nathan if there was a girl in his class that he liked. He told me there were girls and boys in his class and he plays with the boys. I said "do you play with the girls at all?" He says "No.. they say (in a girl voice) DON'T TOUCH ME ... LEAVE ME ALONE!" then he smiled really big. I was dying laughing!!! What a ham. At least I am not dealing with a girlfriend yet... however Jacob DOES have one. lol
