Vegas Baby!

We're Back! We had a great time in Las Vegas. Here are a few pictures for you guys to check out.
Here we are getting ready to leave Dallas.



Kevin and I drinking some margarita's and spending the day shopping!






And here are a few pictures of our hotel.






We had fun and it was nice to spend some time alone. We missed our kiddos and couldn't wait to be home. I guess it's back to the same old thing, but honestly that's the way I like it.

Happy Friday!! Woohoo! I'm very happy today because in the morning I will be boarding a plane with my wonderful husband to Las Vegas!!! It's one of my favorite places to go. I love spending time alone with my husband and I love Vegas! So here is a clue to be able to tell when a stay at home mom is spending the weekend away from her home and kids.......

I got a pedicure!!! When you have 3 kids, cute pedicured feet mean you are going somewhere.

Here is the other big news in our house. Cayden got glasses. Isn't he the most adorable child? Who would have thought that glasses could make a kid cuter.

Awe, the joys of having a toddler! He had been playing outside and absolutely did not want to come in to eat. In fact he threw such a fit that he would not stop crying UNLESS he could eat his dinner outside. So what did I do to stop this little tantrum?????



Hey you do what you gotta do, right?

Hello Friends!

Not much going on at the Wilham's. Life is good and there is little to complain about. Valentines Day is coming up and the kids are excited. They both have parties on Friday at their school, which means they will come home on a sugar high and then proceed to crash and burn!! Fun times. I thought I'd share a few pictures from last Saturday's basketball game. Cayden did great as always!




P.S. Yes, Carson has a bottle - Don't Judge Me, I have 3 boys for goodness sake and you'd do the same thing if it made him sit quietly for an hour at a basketball game.

Ok, so time for an update. Honestly there isn't much going on these days beside the same old thing. Both boys are doing good in school and Carson is keeping me busy. Here are a few pictures from our week.
It was such a beautiful day out I thought "I'll put the dogs outside while I clean, that way they can play and not get in my way" Well this is what they did for an hour while I cleaned....

My dogs need a life!

Lets see... I told Chip not to play his brothers PSP, and low and behold look what I found when I went behind the couch to find him...

Poor Chip spent some time in time-out for that one.

This morning, I went to put my shoes on so we could take Cayden to school. When I came out this was the picture I saw. Soooo Cute!!

And yes, Carson has two toothbrushes in his hands. You can't say we don't know how to multi task around here.

Today has been EXHAUSTING! We got up, I made the kids breakfast. Then I had to make Cayden's lunch, and get his backpack together. Then I got all 3 kids dressed. Let the dogs out, fed them then made sure they went out again. I threw on some workout out clothes, packed the diaper bag, grabbed my coffee and breakfast and ran out the door. I got all the kids in the car and we dropped Cayden off at school.
Then I headed to the gym. It took me 40 min to get to my gym due to traffic (aren't one of the benefits of staying home that you don't have to drive in rush hour anymore?????). Got to the gym and had a good workout even though I had to stop my workout twice to change poopy diapers(mental note: cut back on Carson's fiber on gym days).
Left the gym, drove home. Made lunch, fed the kids, did the dishes and cleaned the highchair (we had spaghetti for lunch so you can imagine the amount of clean up) Attempted to put Carson down for a nap. I say attempted because he decided he wanted to skip nap today (oh joy!). After he protested for quite awhile and I prayed to the good Lord above that he would sleep(oh, by the way God does not answer the "please let them sleep prayer". I'm not sure why, but he will not grant that prayer request)I gave up and got him up.
I played with Carson and tried to keep him happy even though he was cranky due to lack of sleep.
Let the dogs out again. Played with the dogs for awhile until Griff ran over Carson, knocking him down and making him pass out.
Put Chip and Carson in the car and went to get Cayden. Got Cayden, went to vacuum out my car(it was so dirty I couldn't see the floor mat on Carson's side due to the crumbs). Once I saw the floor mat I remembered that I still hadn't cleaned up the sticky Slurpee residue from last weekend. Went home and cleaned that.
Kids played(well actually they mostly fought and yelled at each other), I tried to keep Carson happy(he was still sleep deprived). Feed Carson, gave him a bath and put him to bed(ALLELUIA!!)
Cooked dinner, fed the other two kiddos and myself. Cleaned the kitchen. Gave both dogs a bath(I hate stinky dogs) and sat down to write this.

Sometimes I ask myself why I choose to do this everyday? I ask myself is it really worth it? Does anyone really notice how hard staying home with your kids is? Then I realize that it doesn't matter if anyone knows how hard I work, it doesn't matter if I'm so tired at the end of the day I can hardly move. All that matters is that I'm a mom to three amazing little boys. All things worth having require work. They are worth it...............
