Mammoth Fun

A few months ago our Nature and Science museum had a showing of mammoth bones which had been found recently. Here are some pics from that day. More to come. I have to scan them in.

Not so P.C., or, I see red paint in your future

My mom sent me an email with this link to a truly unbelievable performance.

I can't figure out how to embed the dang thing. . .

Trust me. Watch it. It is only a minute long. I've watched it 8 or 9 times. The rest of this post doesn't make sense if you don't watch it.

Do it. . .

Did you watch it?

No? Go do it, punk!

Now did you do it?

You did?

Good. Please continue.

Well... E and J watched it, too.

E watched it twice then turned to me and said,

"That's so mean! I can't believe they did that to those poor animals.

They should kill them before they put them on a coat!"

I laughed and laughed. She wasn't upset by the idea of killing the little guys at all. She was just opposed to them being made to hang onto a coat.

Are we doing a great job raising our kids, or what? lol

Baby J = Ladies' Man

Okay! We Know! Yes ... but ... you have to underst... it was the one-armed man ... it wasn't my ... will you guys just let me get a word in edgewise!?!?! Good grief!! Yes, I know it has been a while since our last post. Okay ... it has been a LOOOOONG time. I concede ... are you happy?!?? Now, on to today's story:


The girls (S and E) were watching an episode of Hannah Montana, wherein Ms. Montana was speaking with a boy named J (which is the name of our 2-year old boy). Our Baby J was also standing near the T.V. watching, when Miley ... oops, I mean ... Hannah says to the J on the show: "I'm attracted to you, okay?" Baby J answers, with just the right timing, "Okay."


Per J's insistence, we just mailed a signed photo of J to Ms. Montana.

Silly, but I swear there is a resemblance...

Everytime I see

I crack up. At first I couldn't explain why, but I thought it made Buck look like a dinosaur.

Why?

I think it has something to do with this guy:

Do you see the resemblance?

A case of the munchies...

What happened to my butter?!

A little mousey got to it.

Yum.

He ate the WHOLE thing. I guess he takes after his Cousin Jessica and Tia Catherine.

Oh, and then he threw up.

Nice.

Thanks Uncle Sean and Tia Sarah!

Uncle Sean and Tia Sarah gave the kiddos these cool skateboards with only TWO wheels. Yeah. I tried and fell off. The kids are having much better luck at it than I had. : )

Someone needs to get a grip.

My bro-in-law (though I like to think of him as my own brother) and his wife (though I like to think of her as my own sister--ok, I know what that sounds like, but you know I don't mean anything weird by it! Sheesh) welcomed their first child into the world Saturday morning.
My baby nephew is beautiful. That's right. I said beautiful. For a boy. What're you going to do about it? It fits him perfectly.
I cannot wait to see him in person and to hug him and kiss him and to just love on him.
This baby has been very emotional for me, and I am not even his mom! When they told us they were pregnant I cried for a week. Seriously. I was that excited. And a little heartbroken. Knowing I wouldn't get to see my sis as she grew and feel the baby move inside her, and won't be close enough to see him as often as I would like once he is born...
And then at Easter my sister in law sent us a card with an ultrasound pic and the card read "Hi Buckners! I wanted to wish you a Happy Easter and let you know I'm excited to meet you. Love Baby Buckner"
Yeah.
That one did me in all over again. I cried on and off about that one for a few days.
I know. I am a total weenie.
And today I cried when I saw the baby pics. And just now I cried when my brother told me that he just loves him. Just loves him so completely. And can't wait to see him grow, and go fishing with him, and hiking with him, and...well, I didn't really hear much else, because I was crying so hard.
What a boob.
