New Park
We all went to a new park in South Salem today. I ended up nursing Riley in the car most of the time we were there. They had lots of interesting equipment. Too bad it was 30 degrees; we could have had more fun!

Serious Two Year Old Attitude ;)
When he first came to this house he'd just sit around all day
And he would never get a job he'd just run around naked and play
And he was always stinky and he would very often cry
He was always making messes and to clean them up he never would try
And now that he is two years old he thinks he's some kind of king
He goes where he wants he does what he wants and gets into everything
He's acting rambunctious, rambunctious and kind of rude
He's got a serious, serious, serious, serious 2 year old attitude
He's got a serious, serious, serious, serious 2 year old attitude
You better give that boy, you better give him some latitude
‘Cause he can kick and scream and fight and he just learned how to bite
He's got a serious, serious, serious, serious 2 year old attitude
Well he's always stealing stuff when you take him to the store
He's either breaking it, trying to eat it, or throwing it on the floor
And he won't eat his vegetables he won't eat his apple sauce
‘Cause he's a bad to the bone know it all a rebel without a cause
And now that he is two years old he thinks he's some kind of king
He goes where he wants he does what he wants and gets into everything
Cause he'll wait until you get into a church or a store or another public place
And then he'll pout and he'll shout and he'll rant and he'll rave
And he'll cry and he'll scream until he's red in the face
(Lyrics to song by Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband)

Twenty Things a Mom Should Tell Her Son
TWENTY THINGS A MOM SHOULD TELL HER SON
1. Play a sport.
It will teach you how to win honorably,
lose gracefully, respect authority,
work with others, manage your time
and stay out of trouble.
And maybe even throw or catch.
2. You will set the tone
for the sexual relationship,
so don't take something away from her
that you can't give back.
3. Use careful aim when you pee.
Somebody's got to clean that up, you know.
4. Save money when you're young
because you're going to need it someday.
5. Allow me to introduce you
to the dishwasher, oven,
washing machine, iron,
vacuum, mop and broom.
Now please go use them.
6. Pray and be a spiritual leader.
7. Don't ever be a bully
and don't ever start a fight,
but if some idiot clocks you,
please defend yourself.
8. Your knowledge and education is something
that nobody can take away from you.
9. Treat women kindly.
Forever is a long time to live alone
and it's even longer to live with somebody
who hates your guts.
10. Take pride in your appearance.
11. Be strong and tender at the same time.
12. A woman can do everything that you can do.
This includes her having a successful career
and you changing diapers at 3 A.M.
Mutual respect is the key to a good relationship.
13. "Yes ma'am" and "yes sir"
still go a long way.
14. The reason that they're called "private parts"
is because they're "private".
Please do not scratch them in public.
15. Peer pressure is a scary thing.
Be a good leader and others will follow.
16. Bringing her flowers for no reason
is always a good idea.
17. It is better to be kind
than to be right.
18. A sense of humor
goes a long way
in the healing process.
19. Please choose your spouse wisely.
My daughter-in-law will be the gatekeeper for me
spending time with you and my grandchildren.
20. Remember to call your mother
because I might be missing you.

Christmas Morning
We all got up and put on our Christmas pjs. You helped me make muffin plops and hot chocolate and then we opened our presents. You were very helpful and even "helped" Riley by opening his presents for him!

Chistmas Eve 2012
We spent
Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Jones' house tonight. Grandma and
Grandpa invited some of their friends to join us. We sat around, told
funny stories, and ate wonderful food. Your Grandma has a knack for getting you awesome truck toys!
Before we went to Grandma and Grandpa's, I made some french bread for tomorrow night. In my family, we have a tradition of licking the beater/s. Apparently you plan on continuing that tradition - you had bread dough all over you!

We Pray for Children
"We Pray for Children" by Ina Hughes
We pray for children
Who put chocolate fingers everywhere,
Who like to be tickled,
Who stomp in puddles and ruin their new pants,
Who sneak Popsicles before supper,
Who erase holes in math workbooks,
Who can never find their shoes.
And we pray for those
Who stare at photographers from behind barbed wire,
Who can't bound down the street in new sneakers,
Who never "counted potatoes,"
Who are born in places we wouldn't be caught dead in,
Who never go to the circus,
Who live in an X-rated world.
We pray for children
Who bring us sticky kisses and fistfuls of dandelions,
Who sleep with the cat and bury goldfish,
Who hug us in a hurry and forget their lunch money,
Who squeeze toothpaste all over the sink,
Who slurp their soup.
And we pray for those
Who never get dessert,
Who have no safe blanket to drag behind them,
Who can't find any bread to steal,
Who don't have any rooms to clean up,
Whose pictures aren't on anybody's dresser,
Whose monsters are real.
We pray for children
Who spend all their allowance before Tuesday,
Who throw tantrums in the grocery store and pick at their food,
Who like ghost stories,
Who shove dirty clothes under the bed,
Who get visits from the tooth fairy,
Who don't like to be kissed in front of the car pool,
Who squirm in church and scream on the phone,
Whose tears we sometimes laugh at and whose smiles can make us cry.
And we pray for those
Whose nightmares come in the daytime,
Who will eat anything,
Who have never seen a dentist,
Who are never spoiled by anyone,
Who go to bed hungry and cry themselves to sleep,
Who live and move, but have no being.
We pray for children
Who want to be carried
And for those who must,
For those we never give up on
And for those who never get a second chance,
For those we smother.
And for those who will grab the hand of anybody kind
enough to offer it.
We pray for children. Amen.
