Movie Time!!

Now, dont get me wrong my boys dont watch a whole lot of tv. But even when they get a chance to, it is still a challenge for them to sit still. But this movie in particular is Zeek's favorite - "The Ant Bully". One day at the mall, Zeek decided to yell a line from the movie several times - "I......said.........DOGPILE!!!!!!" It was great, and it echoed, and people stared. Oh well, that's Zeek.

Sitting for 3 seconds....Literately

I took this photo right before I left for work. My mom calls me about 20 minutes after I have gone and says "Moria, how come you didnt tell me you left?" I usually shout "im out" when I leave but for whatever reason I didnt. So I said "What happened?" My mom then tells me that she's cleaning up the mess right now. =/ They, my boys, were suppose to be watching a movie on my laptop. Go figure.

Hammer Time!!

Besides the fact that I had to watch my fingers, Zeek did really well in helping build this little castle from Lowe's "Build and Grow". He was very helpful and eager, but like any other 3 year old, could not sit long enough to finish. Maybe I was a little slow, i dont know.

As I mother I try to find ways to spend quality time with Zeek and am trying desparately everyday to have patience with him. So, when my dad had brought this little building project and dress up apron, goggles, and hammer i knew this was just the thing to get me started. So do pray with me that I gain the patience to spend time with my first born, cause honestly it doesnt happen as often as it should.

Man, I got all personal with it didnt I??

Cunningham Park Reborn

May 22, 2011 an F5 tornado wiped out the heart of joplin starting from i think Duquesne all the way past Shifferdecker road. Cunningham park was one of the hotspots - i would say - that was destroyed. Today, after i took my boys to the barber to get their haircut, and since it was really nice out, i decided to take Zeek and Manny to the park the team of Extreme Home Maker and many many volunteers helped rebuild this park in particular that was right next to St Johns Hospital. Although, it wasnt like it was before with the huge trees and the fall leaves - I fell in love with this park again like i did before, as ive taken many photos of Zeek here.

In this first photo is what the park used to be, Zeek was about 17 months in this one. And then a couple pics of what it is now - renewed and revived. There was alot of people there today!! =D

Cant forget about bath times!!

So in the first photo is just both of the boys enjoying splashing the water, playing with toys and whatever else kids do to stay entertained while taking a bath. The second photo is Zeek showing me that Manny pulled out the plug so the water flows out. "I fix it," Zeek says. Haha!!...Then in the third photo, Manny decides to pull the plug out AGAIN. He was yelling at the water to stop. I had already gotten Zeek out the tub and dried and lotioned up by the time this happened...Enjoy the laughs!! Because I sure did get a kick out of it. =D

The Friday Outing

So, as we all know I work 10 hour shifts overnight and come home around 5 am. On Thursdays, we get to get our checks after we get off. After I cash it and return home, my mom takes Zeek and my pay to go run errands and visit Zeek's uncles....This is when Zeek and my mom returns home. Just wore out. =D

Manny....

Aside from the fact that my boys broke my mom's living room window today, this is another thing they like to do. Climbing. And i dont think an inside jungle gym will solve this problem. This is....Manny at his finest. Haha!!
