Jimmy and Nadia... Don't worry, thank me later!

After a few failed attempts in the match making department, I am happy to say one finally paid off! YAY!!! Jimmy and Nadia got married!

My camera had some issues so I missed some super cute photo opportunities. But here's what I did get. ( and a couple borrowed from Donna's camera)
All the original Harris boys.
LOOKING GOOOOD!

The whole Harris bunch.

Amanda (Matt's sis) made the cakes.

She did awesome!

The groom's cake. Rather be fishin!

My two handsome studs. Mattix made one cute ring boy!

Mattix did not want to walk with a girl. Rose the flower girl. (Nadia's niece)

Manning partied a little to hard. That boy crashed. Matt's brother laid him on the grass wrapped up in the blanket. Everyone kept worrying "who's baby is just laying there?"

Yeah it was mine. We just left him there. Someone had to get a nap in. Might as well of been him.

Mason waiting for his piece of cake.

The bride and groom. And the lovely Aunt Delores!

My honey eating cake and looking sexy.

I wish I would of taken my shoes off too. I don't know who's shoes these are but I should of followed their example. My feet were killing me by the end of the night.

The party was fully stocked with a candy bar.

The boys loved the gumballs.

Mom I need another one!

Matt's other sis. Lauren did the flowers and decorating. They turned out amazing!

Jimmy even made time for a wet willy or two!

We love you two!!

Congratulations Jimmy and Nadia!!!

Mom can you build us a clubhouse?

Yesterday Mason came in the house and declared to me that we needed to build a club house. We have all these empty boxes that are just sitting here. From my mom's cabnits that Matt's been working on. Taunting him. His little creative mind is just swimming with ideas. He wants to build a robot and a clubhouse and the list goes on and on. Mattix had one of his friends from nursery over and Jackson was here. So I thought it might be fun. I started looking at the boxes and my creative juices started swimming too. I call it a fort he calls it a clubhouse. Same diff. Everyone helped decorate.

Markers, Crayons and even paint pens.

Swirls, squiggles and even some happy faces. :)

There were windows...

And a door. Of course it wouldn't be complete without a door.

We even decorated the inside.

We got sneaky and added a secret window.

Who is it??

It's me Sir Mason with a sword!!

Ahh don't let him in!!

I'm going to get you!!

Sword fight anyone??

Craigy got the tree. Now we are safe!

Mason thought we needed to tape branches to the top for camo.

After hard play we needed some blue juice to cool us down.

Can you see our blue tongues??

Smile and Have some fun!

Manning has been working on some new teeth. He chews on everything!

The boys and I made a sign and decorated for Matt's Birthday.

They each signed it and added something to it.

Daddy found us some cool glow toys at the dollar store.

Manning graduated from the BUMBO to the table highchair. He now eats with the family!

He's also started pulling himself up and scaling things.

Mason and Mattix got hair cuts and Daddy discovered how to keep the hair off and keep the boys somewhat still. :)

Mason thought it was great!

Hair Hair everywhere!

Hanging out at Nana's playing with our cousins. Poor Addison. Come on through Mattix!

Cheese!!

Donna and Matt fighting over the cookie dough.

Aunt Delores, Donna and Rachel came and stayed a few days for Jimmy and Nadia's wedding. We loved hanging out and spending time with them.

Donna made Manning a shaker. He loved it.

Addison liked the shaker too.

We took off one day and hung out with our friends. Did some DI hopping and had lunch at the park. I thought this was a funny picture. Wow lady are those all your kids?

I had all these pictures. I thought it would be fun to share our month so far!

My Parents Are Exhausted!

Manning's feeling it too. Naptime!!

Wouldn't it be great to sleep whenever you got tired??

One black eye and one red eye. Kind of creepy!

My boys sporting the jammie day look.

Manning get's the best spot in town.

Two very tired guys.

Mason so tired he dropped?? Yeah right. Faker!

When Mason was 2 we found a shirt and bought it that says "My Parents are Exhausted." Everytime one of them wears it I think to myself, that is more than an understatement.

So once again my blogger friends are the last to know. I quit my job. I lasted almost 2 weeks. It was just not working out and it wasn't worth it. Point Blank!! I am finally to the point that I don't feel so guilty for doing it.

But since than Matt started working UPS and has quit his full time job. He has been waking up around 2:00 in the morning and going to work. And for the past week he's been working his hynee off (because he's so wonderful) at my parents house replacing their whole kitchen. They've had some major water damage and mold problems. So Matt and his mad skill have been working very hard. He's amazing I don't know how he does it all. I do believe I have discovered his secret... Keep working don't sit down. Because if you are anything like Matt you will not get up and more than likely you will end up sound asleep.

Today we decided to have a jammie day and get some rest. I have been trying to keep things together at home and be as supportive as I can. Because he gets up so early he goes to bed by 7:00 p.m. The boys are not ready for bed and are still running. So I have been trying to get them out of the house so he has a chance to fall asleep. I have been taking them for very long walks or on nights with bad weather we hang out at Walmart or visit whoever will take us in. Than I bring them home and get them ready for bed and put them to bed. I don't know what my problem is. I should be used to this but I am very tired too.

I have had some pretty exciting (to say the least) days. I got my first speeding ticket the other day. I was driving home from Walmart and the boys of course are screaming and throwing a fit in the back and I am hurrying home to make everyone happy and get them a drink. I wasn't paying attention to my speed and yep I got caught. 53 in a 35 zone. ($105 ticket) Super sucky!! So that along with other things I will not mention. I will spare you the drama that I call my life.

So in a nutshell things are as usuall crazy in the Harris house. But I suppose I will eventually get used to it.

I have staged a plan of attack on my pitty party attitude. I started today with operation don't stress day. I didn't even open the blinds. It sure felt good. I was even motivated to clean. :)

Matt starts school tomorrow. I am very excited for him. I hope he can be able to focus. I wish I wasn't such a drama queen so he didn't have to worry about me and the boys.

I am starting preschool on the 31st. And I am very excited. So we have alot going on and I just hope we can all flow through all this LIFE and come out stronger and better people. I know we have alot to learn through all that is coming.
