The Tarbutton's: We’re Back In Action!!!!

So we have been out of computer commission because someone (me) was trying to multitask and dropped the computer. Better than dropping the baby. That’s my pitch.

A phone conversation with a man living half way around the world (“Joe”) and trying to convey that yes I am married to the computer’s owner and Joe could have my credit card number, many visits with the intimidating Geek Squad, and $200 dollars later…..sigh. I got my computer back.

And the craziness continues……

At the exact moment I sit down to type this G is claiming that Reese is sucking his arm so I need to feed her and our son is coughing up his right lung due to a prolong cold that has been ceremoniously passed to all in the family. I won’t go into the gory details of last nights baby feeding frenzy at 3am and the toddler vomit fest at 4am. sigh. sigh.

While pregnant with John Parker I received more advice than I could wrap my brain around. But with number two NOT ONE “FRIEND” mentioned that having two will be the craziest experience a human could ever encounter (unless of course you have three…four…five kids and you at least have a clue as to what you’re getting yourself into). Thanks. We could have used the warning. I know. I know. Some day we will look back and wonder where the time went. But I’m pretty sure Greg and I will be well rested and contemplating that from the comfort of our sofa after eating a warm meal, carrying on an adult conversation (minus the words “poop” and “Katy, you can’t say that in front of John Parker”) while watching the most current episode of The Office.

Enough honesty…here are some pics that make my oh so crazy life seem perfect! Smile

LOVE these two beautiful children and wouldn’t trade this time in our life for the world.

New Year’s Eve Party…in the third pic they are toasting in the New Year with a little Welch’s. My son is the one that started it. His Ma taught him to “cling” and toast. This is a common occurrence in our home. Not just holidays.

No New Year’s party is complete without “Ring Around the Rosie.”

They all fall down….

Church outfits…these pics ALWAYS go south but I love taking them. This always makes G annoyed because we are either running late or it’s after church and they are in meltdown mode. The kids. Not Greg.

In this set of pics John Parker is literally running from me while I take his picture.

Reese turns 2 months and John Parker turn 2 1/2 years old. John Parker did not cut his own hair, it’s just laying funny.

Did I mention John Parker turned 2 1/2 and he acts every bit of 2 1/2? Sigh. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. 3rd pic I left him unattended and he put on my lipstick. Greg was not impressed. The Santa hat is an every day favorite.

Not only is he sitting in R’s carseat but he also put on a pair of her leggings.

But bless his heart…he LOVES his Weese. Sigh. These are random pics from my “stay at home mom” time with the kids. JP took the random on of me. It’s obvious if JP sits remotely close to Reese I grab my camera.

Yes. Reese is under his blanket.

While on break I got to take John Parker to story hour then to lunch dates with his buddies. We even took Reese with us a few times. We had soooo much fun!!!!
