A Little of This, Some More of That

I just have to add a picture of Seth Man.

I sure do love my job!

I am way behind on posts but I wanted to share this one before I forgot about it.

Changing diapers is always an adventure in our home. During the first few weeks/months our boys were notorious for their ability to get everything wet. It seemed that poor Paul must have had a target on his chest when they did decide to empty their bladders. They have since matured and made their diaper changes a lot less like Russian Roulette.

So the other night Paul was changing Matthew's diaper and stated that Matthew liked his freedom from the diaper. Bold move on Paul's part. He kept stating this until finally a nice fountain sprays all over Paul, Matthew and the blanket!

Sure Matthew may like his diaper-less freedom, but that doesn't mean you should trust him! Good aim Son! I think Dad learned his lesson!

Father's Day was extra special for us. Not only was it Paul's first official Father's Day, but it was also Matthew and Seth's blessing day.

Last year I suggested to my family (who up until recently hardly ever got together all at once) that we should have a family reunion in June of 2010. My idea was to come up with a date and time, one year in advance so everyone could save money and vacation time. Then we found out we were expecting the boys, and our plan to get together for a family camp out seemed a bit unrealistic. Luckily my family said it would be a great idea to come to Texas instead of camping in CO and participate in the boy's blessings.

Paul's parents and sister along with her son were also here for the blessing, making it one awesome time! So for 5 days we had (depending on the day) 13 adults 12 kiddos and one dog running around our place. Matthew and Seth did really well considering the noise and being passed around. It was great to have all of my family, and as many of the Denson's that could make it here for one great weekend.

I totally copied and pasted all of Megan's hard work here.

I have always wanted a clean house. While working I mainly got to my house cleaning on Saturdays. I have a wonderful husband that LOVES helping me clean (ok love may be a strong word, but at least he was willing). Together we could hammer out most of our cleaning all in one Saturday.

As my belly got bigger, bending over to clean and scrub became too difficult. Heck even standing for more then a few minutes got to be difficult. On Paul's birthday I had decided to clean the house, so we could have people over the next day for cake and ice cream. The mind was willing, but my body was not. I ended up on the couch asking Paul if he would mind sweeping and mopping the floors. Happy Birthday to you Paul.

Fast forward to today. Up until lately, I have really had a hard time finding time to get things cleaned. Just ask Tomo, who up until today was allowed to spread his dirt where ever he went. Today with the boys help, I was able to sweep, mop and vacuum. Granted the house is no where in the state I would like it to be in, but I have to say I love my clean kitchen floor.

Thank you Matthew and Seth for giving me some sanity by letting me clean.

Thank you Heavenly Father for giving me the energy to clean on the day that Seth and Matthew would be cooperative. The planets must have aligned just right today! now if only that dang dog would stop getting so dirty!

Poor Paul was asked to speak in church about his new perspective on motherhood for Mother's Day. I guess the recent events made him a prime target to speak in church. Paul said he didn't think it went that well, but it made me cry so he must have said something right. It was also Matthew and Seth's first day at church. They didn't see any of it since we had their car seats covered, but I can say we had our little family there for my first Mother's Day.
