Spring Break

We are Three Days into Spring Break and my kids have been to the skate park 4 times already. I wanted to post a picture of Wyatt Skateboarding as his skills are improving.

Our family is headed to Palm Springs in the morning and of course we will be stopping at at least 2 more skate parks. I will update more about our little trip when we get home.

Note: Spring break is not so bad as long as you plan on doing nothing but what the kids want to do and as long as you don't mind following them around all day and cleaning up after them and as long as you don't try to accomplish anything... besides being dedicated to your kids enjoyment.

Photogenic....is it hereditary?

I just can't seem to take a bad snap-shot of Hudson these days. Not that I am complaining. Here he is on Easter. I actually held the camera under the table and snapped it. Maybe I am just that good at photography.

Rook at Bedtime

As I was putting Rook down for bed tonight at around 7 o'clock, (which is about an hour early because I wanted some free time), I explained to hime that crying only proved to me that he was tired.

He responded, "Mom you don't know what crying really means then."

"What does it mean Rook?"

"It means that you are being really mean and doing things to make me cry."

"What things, Rookie?"

"Just Mom things."

Then later.... about an hour later.. when he really ended up going to bed, he said this in his prayer.

"Please help me to be really good and go to sleep really fast so I don't have to go to school tomorrow...... and please help the baby not to get hurt.... please help us have another new baby...and help him not to get hurt." He says his prayers with such a dramatic pleading, I will try to get a video clip of it soon. By the way, why does he want another baby and why does he assume it will be a boy?

Since I am talking about Rook, I decided to add two pictures. One of him at Jed's Food Fight Birthday Party, (I will add more about that later), and a picture he drew of his HEND (pronounced "hand".)

My First Post... I am no Follower!

I am a leader, not a follower. If I were a follower I would have started the Blog a few years ago. But no... I will not follow the crowd. I may visit the same places, but it will be on my own terms in my own time! See... a Leader.

This blog will be all about... anything. Since it is brand new, I really don't know what I will say or what kinds of things I will blog about. It will be a work in progress and if I actually keep it up, I may after some time describe what this blog is all about. So you will have to just read or wait until I can effectively report an identity for this blog.

I will tell you I named it "The Incredible Six" because the name hadn't been taken yet. I also thought it was a good way describe my own personal super heroes. You may already know that I have six sons. ... Yes! Six sons.... They are the greatest dudes in my universe, well except for my Husband, who, by the way, I just celebrated a 3rd anniversary with. That is another story, for those of you asking how we have only had 3 anniversaries and 6 kids.

I think that is enough for my first post. (I am still trying to come up with a really cool banner for the top of my blog, so any ideas are welcome.)
