A year, seriously??

Has it really been over year??? Jeez, I'm terrible. I feel like I have so much to share on a daily basis and here I have the perfect outlet and STILL nothing!!! Well, lucky for us not too much has happened other than everyday life sort of things but we have definitely been busy!!

Xander started 2nd grade this year which is proving to be quite challenging but he's doing great and we are so proud of him. His heart is huge and he is constantly entertaining us with his "ideas." Let's just say we are screwed as he gets older because the ideas will only get more elaborate and complicated ... pray for me!!

Louden. Lord have Mercy!!! This child is never still, EVER! If there was a way I could bottle his energy and sell it, I would!! He would be set for life. I bet he could even drop out of school right now. His current obsession is John Cena. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about this, especially since I was shocked he even knew who he was considering we don't even watch WWE at home but so far it has worked in my favor. As long as I tell Louden that John Cena does or doesn't do something, Louden follows John's lead.


For Example:

Me: "Louden, Do your homework!"

Louden: "No, later."

Me: "But John Cena did his homework as soon as he got home."

Louden: "Where's my pencil? This is easy."




Louden: "Yuk, I don't like salad!"

Me: "Really?? I think I read somewhere that John Cena eats salad everyday. I think that's
         how he gets big muscles."

Louden: "This salad is good with this dip (ranch)."



I'm not kidding, friends. These are actual conversations that have happened. Whatever works, right????


Sometimes you just have to take what you can and run with it. If for some reason I were ever to run into John Cena, I would probably hug him and say, Thanks for making my home life easier you have no idea what it's like to live with Louden. LOL!

I would love to know, do any of your kids have an idol and do you use them to make your life easier?


Have a Fabulous Day!!!
