He's Got Our Back

Ed has been having some major lower back issues over the past several months. His back pain is a major source of conversation in our household. The other morning, I woke up to find this on the floor outside my bedroom door.

Dad this can help you with your back!!!!!!!! $39.95 Call 1-800-617-6086

Apparently, Brennan had been up early that morning watching TV and saw a commercial for some kind of back remedy. We're still not sure what it is. But we thought it was so cute that he was thinking about Ed, wrote down all the information and didn't wake us up.

Unexpected So You Think You Can Dance Fan

I know I am way behind the times and probably the only person in American who had never seen SYTYCD. This issue was discussed with my SIL and niece this summer at Lake Powell and I was put to task to watch it this season. I watched and I loved it! Even Ed became a fan and got a bit bent out of shape if I watched without him. But we had an unexpected fan in our midst, we discovered Brennan became a fan of the show and big fan of Jose. Check out Brennan's dance "stylings".

Racoon Eyes

One week ago today we were having such great weather that my friend Christine and I sat outside all day on her front yard. We ate lunch outside, sat out for about 5 hours and just talked, laughed, watched the kids play and had a great afternoon. We were both wearing our sunglasses, just relaxing. When I finally made it inside to make dinnner, I noticed that my arms were stinging and my nose was burning. I looked at my arms and they were red from too much sun. I looked in the mirror and half my face and nose were red. Because I was wearing sunglasses, I have racoon eyes. So the days go by, the redness sets in to a tan, but I still have racoon eyes. Ryan and Ed like to look at me and laugh about it. Fast forward 1 week to this morning as I am helping Brennan get ready for school, I look into his face and I tell him, "I don't think you are getting enough sleep, you have dark circles under your eyes." He looks carefully into my eyes and thinks for a minute and he says, "Well you have white circles under your eyes". It's not from concealer, I still have racoon eyes.

Funny Fools!

Happy April Fools. No time for pranks, but I do have two funny stories compliments of Brennan.
Story #1:
Last night as I was doing something in the kitchen, I called to Brennan who was in the Family Room that it was time for bed.
Me: "Brennan, time for bed"
Brennan: (as he hides underneath a blanket) "Brennan is not available right now, but leave a message and he'll get back to you...BEEEEEEEP"

Story #2
This is the Chincilla story that I mentioned a couple nights ago. Last week Brennan checked out a book at the library about Chincillas. He has been trying to convince us to get him a Chinchilla. The book has a lot of pictures that Brennan likes to look at. It was after dinner and I was sitting next to Ryan looking at pictures on the computer when Brennan comes up to us with book in hand opened to this picture:




Brennan: (speaking to me) "Look this is you and Dad. (Pointing at picture) This is you and this is dad."
Me: (mouth open, speechless)
Ryan: (snickering....)
Me: "Wh Wh What??"
Brennan: "This is you and dad"
Ryan: (more snickering and now laughing) "That's how you happened Brennan"
Me: (mouthing to Ed 9 feet away, "what has he seen?" with a horrified look on my face)
Brennan: "Yah, this is you and dad when your are on the couch hanging out & watching TV"
Ed, Me & Ryan: (collective sigh of relief and laughing)

Our mind was in the gutter, we saw it so literally, when all Brennan saw was that these Chincillas were cuddling. We have had a few good laughs about this and we are also really relieved we didn't have to do any explaining.

Look at Your Man....I'm on a Horse

This commercial just makes me laugh everytime I see it.
