[These. Colors. Make. Me. Happy!]

Saw this photo in a REAL SIMPLE magazine. I am in LOVE with these colors!

If anyone needs ideas on "what to wear" for a session... THINK OF THIS!

Hilarious conversations around my house in the past couple days:

Last night as I am getting Cortland dried off from his shower-

putting his lotion on, cleaning his ears, combing his hair...

he looks up at me and says in the sweetest and most geniune voice,

"Mama... you are SO nice." I was so thrilled!

Then he pauses and says, "You are also a little mean."

Talk about honest, huh? I said... "that's because I'm your MOM!

I have to be a little of both!" It was so funny I cracked up right there!

I was brush-hogging late tonight... yes, it's shocking that I love to drive a tractor, I know?!...

I asked Kenzie-Lynn if she would take Cort in the shower with her and wash him up.

Of course she said "yes" and ran off to do it.

Well, he didn't care too much for the idea and gave her a H-A-R-D time!!!

So I came inside and based on the screaming fit he was pitching I figured he had been refusing to let her bathe him.

I told him to march "his little baby buns on in the shower and make things 'easier' for his sister (not harder)..." and BOY did he get mad!

He thought he could throw his little fit and then still have me bathe him.

I made him get in the shower with her and he started having a little attitude as I was walking into the bedroom.

Kenzie-Lynn said,

"Bubby... if you don't act right I W-I-L-L report you to Mama

(probably saying this with a rotating head and snapping fingers)!"

I LAUGHED SO HARD I HAD TO COVER MY MOUTH SO THEY WOULDN'T HEAR ME!!!

Never a dull moment raising kids, huh?

Anyone else as thrilled as I am that ELLEN is going to be the new judge on American Idol???

My two favorite shows! Together?

Oh-EM-GEE... too much to handle! LOL!
