Start To Finish
I know that every one has heard me gush about how talented my photo sister is, but she is and I just can't help but share some more about her and what she can and do every time I want pictures of my babies.
She has had this picture in her head for some time now and I'm just happy that I was able to help.
So you all have seen the babies that look like flowers right? Well now my baby looks like one to and the head band with the big flowers on them. I've got pictures of my baby with one on to. Thanks Jenn we always have so much fun with you and you always do such a good job.
And the hat finished
The finished headbands
The models
And the end results all thank to My sister.

Why Why Why!
Three out of my four siblings sleep walk or talk in their sleep or some freaky combo of the two. Jeff will mutter something in his sleep on occasion but its not extreme in any way and in no way noteworthy. I do not do either and I thought when my older siblings moved out and I left home that was all behind me. Boy was I wrong.
Both of my older kids have what I can only describe as night terrors. Its this blood curdling screaming for mommy in the middle of the night and Jackson also walks in his sleep.
For example, I was sitting at the computer the other night (shocker, I know) and I here Jacks down the hall yell for me a couple of times. I think to myself 'He's OK just give him a minute and it will be fine'. Then I here What sounds like he's struggling and trying to rip something apart. So I go in to his room and in true Aunt Becky fashion he's standing at the window trying to rip the curtain out of the wall.
I can handle the screaming I can also handle the walking zombie style around the house in the middle of the night muttering to himself incoherently but I don't think I'm going to deal well with a child that could potentially call the cops in his sleep because of an imaginary intruder. I'm just saying.
Why! I don't want to have him coming in to my room in the early hours of the morning and yelling at me that he's going to be late for school. I never did that. Why! I don't want to bolt his window so he doesn't try climbing out of it while he's sleeping.
So to those of you that have or have had this problem what do you suggest I do? I'll take suggestions from the offenders and offendies alike.

Not rude
OK so here's how it is . I know that I am flighty, irresponsible, jealous,suspicious, inconsiderate,I have no conversation filter and I am a all around shiny penny type. But the one thing I am not is rude. Not ever. Not intentionally, well that is unless you're a stranger and you're trying to tell me what to do with my kids or something. I just won't have that. I don't know what it is maybe it's just me. But when I'm nine months pregnant with the raging pregnancy hormones and Jackson is being overly clingy and some stranger starts yelling at me how to take care of my kid I'm yelling right back. In retrospect maybe not the best thing to do but whatever that's not what I'm talking about this time.
So here's the story. I was in Target the other day and some people were blocking the aisle so I quietly waited. That's just how I am. No need to say anything, I'm in no hurry. After everyone moves I walk past and decide that I actually didn't want to go that way and wanted to turn. The one couple with a child had stopped and their cart was somewhat blocking my path but I could see that I would be able to get through without bothering any one. So that's what I did and I went on my way. This MAN says "J**** C****** can't you just say excuse me B****."
My whole body seized and I was so ready to go full blown Roy on him but in that instant I had one of those moments where you just become calm. First I thought 'Are you kidding me?' Then I thought I'm not sinking to your level. Then it was that poor woman and kid I would be so embarrassed if I were her and I was inclined to say something to that effect. I'm not going to lie. I also was thinking 'what trash'. But then I thought 'this person no mater how rude, has the same divine calling as I and for whatever reason is not happy with himself and doesn't know who he is so how can he possibly know who I am'. Don't get me wrong I did call my sister and had one of those 'Oh my gosh no he didn't' moments. But that was just me blowing the whole thing off.
So as you can see Not Rude. Not even if you are.

Yuuumm, a Canadian bacon pizza burger. My favorite.I don't know what I'm doing with my face

Happy New Year ?
Every year we go up to the cabin on Mt. Hood that Jeff's family owns with my sister Amy's family and we always have such a great time.
But every year it seems like the universe is trying to tell us not to do it again a little harder.
We all have fond memories of last years rousing game of push the mini van up the snowy drive and the pacifier incident New Years of '04.
But this year takes the cake. Let me give the run down.
#1 smoke filled the house as it always does when trying to start the wood stove. I have to explain this process in detail some other time.
#2 We were unable to find the water main under 4 feet of snow. So no anything that required water for three day such as washing hands, hair, body, dishes, or flushing the toilet. Which brings us to.
#3 The tank on the toilet was not drained the last time someone was at the cabin so when the temperature dropped below freezing and it did it broke right in half. But that's ok because we didn't have any water to flush it anyway.
#4 because of the water situation the men had to go get buckets of water from the river ( in 4 feet of snow) for us to wash hands, dishes and to back flush the toilet with. There was still no bathing.
#5 After getting in the car New Years day to go for our traditional pancake breakfast at the Huckleberry we found ourselves hi centered in the snow with no way to get out. So I was told to walk up to the highway and call a tow truck. When I got to the highway I still was unable to get a cell signal. (Incidentally, there was also no shoulder on the highway) Luckily Jeff was feeling bad for getting so frustrated with the situation and followed me up and he was able to call. After that whole ordeal was over things were good until we were trying to get home.
#6 not only was there an accident right down from the cabin that held us up but highway 26 was closed due to a landslide and we had a 2 hour detour.
But after all of that we still had a great time and are so going to do it again next year with or with out the husbands because spending New Years at the cabin with is one of my most favorite traditions.
