Sunday's are fundayz

Today I decided to enjoy the little things,because really,they aren't so little. Essentially they're memories that're gonna mold my babes personalities :) The one really disturbing thing that happened was my girls holding and petting a tarantula like it was a hamster,and Wes laughing cause I was crying about it,not funny dude.imagine tiny fragile hands with a super-sized creepy crawling death trap engulfing them,really bothered me. Chloe wants one.

we went shopping and to print the family pictures we had done last week,they turned out AWESOME!

THOSE ARE A COUPLE of my favorite,there are many more with my mom,brother & sisters but those can be for another blog :) thank you Adena best photographer EVER.
also while we were on our Krazy Kramer frequent Walmart adventure,I discovered the new diapers,jean diapers,which are super cute but are they the latest baby trend or an excuse to let your kid run around in a diaper & not dress them?

I recently decided to see if I had a green thumb cause I love lilies and snapdragons & Morning Glory's and I thought it'd be cool for the girls to learn how to take care of flowers,i haven't killed them yet and I'm really proud,maybe I can have a garden soon!

Boys are born to drive,

And play video games,

and MAKE MESSES CAUSE THEY THINK It's Fun,

Happy Sunday,and for those of you with little ones in school enjoy the LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL!

Taking it for the team!

I was sitting back this morning while Caleb played drums on my head and little drops of coffee spilled on my pajama pants,This observation DID NOT bother me and the fact that i wasn't bothered got me thinking,"Which point in time was it that I became so self sacrificing I FORGOT who I was?" and, "why don't I care? is it what's in my nature?" Then my little Mel hamster wheel really got spinning....WOW I DO A LOT OF STUFF I NEVER WOULDA DONE BEFORE KIDS!

EXAMPLE.A. Amusement Parks & Festivals: Ya I like doing that stuff and LOVE seeing my family have the time of their life but there's just one little hiccup,the kids usually have to be accompanied by an adult on the rides they wanna ride & that adult is usually mommy cause daddy thinks it's funny I'm such a chicken and I like to prove to him i can be a brave soldier just like my 8 yr.old even though inside my head I'm asking God to please not let this be my last day of life and please let me get off the ride in one piece.Gotta take it for the team & face my fears regularly. hehehehe

EXAMPLE B.Humiliation:For those of you who don't know my husbands whole side of the family are bowlers.seriously GOOD bowlers,just about all of em have been on a league at one point in time or another....my side of the family NOT SO MUCH,BUT I MARRIED SOMEONE WHO REALLY LIKES GOING TO DO IT and its an inexpensive way to entertain your kids in Vegas.I don't know if i have bad hand eye coordination or what but I'm REALLY REALLY GOOD AT GETTING GUTTER-BALLS!I even like to pretend i get them on purpose,however it's really embarrassing to suck so bad while my husband and his little mini meez get spares & strikes,I don't like bowling and bowling doesn't like me gotta take it for the team and embarrass myself regularly.

EXAMPLE C. I wanted to dress as Marylin Monroe but my little cuties wanted me to go with their theme,if they'd have wanted me to dress as a hot-dog I would have.WHY? Because something that seems so simple will give them a good childhood memory and put an extra sparkle in their eye...they're my whole world.I like sparkles in their eyes:) Gotta take one for the team and hope I'm not too old to dress as Marylin Monroe by the time I can.

EXAMPLE D. SLEEP IS OVER-RATED. In my house there's 6 birthdays,the tooth fairy will visit more times then i can count,family vacations,school plays & field trips & all the holidays,these provoke my little ones heart rates to go up so they can't fall or stay asleep.cute huh?right.when Santa does his job at 1 am & finishes whenever then Santa gets startled awake just a couple hours later by cuties hardly able to contain their joy...Santa ends up a little loopy at his/hers grandmas house for Christmas dinner.gotta take one for the team & forgo beauty rest before anything exciting for the next 18 yrs!
{Disclaimer.It probably sounds like i'm complaining,quite the opposite actually! i'm in awe about how much self sacrificing a parent does and a lot of it is done joyfully just for the sake of making your family happy}Hope you had a good day everyone :)

Meet Melissa..(if you haven't already)

Ok.My reason for caving in to this blogging craze is i think it'll be therapeutic,existential, and interesting for all my friends,family & whomever else wants to jump on the Kramer bandwagon! HI.I'm Mel. A 25 yr. old mother of 4 (yes I said 4) yes they're all mine,yes they're all my husbands! We're highschool sweethearts that probably woulda ended up reproducing ANYWAY but stuff happens & we started early.I was 17. My parents had high hopes for me as an honor roll student.God had higher hopes because my family couldn't be anymore entertaining & fulfilling then it already is. No it doesn't always turn out this way for teenage mothers and i was aware of that,abortion & adoption were NO option for me and I got lucky & I know it!:) First there's my husband Wes.A 29 yr. old Mr.Fix it Jack of all trades that owns a mechanics shop by the Las Vegas Speedway.I'm proud of him,he's also a type 1 diabetic.we've been through the good the bad & the ugly,then there's Chloe,my 8 yr.old going on 40 that never seizes to amaze me with her witty remarks, NEXT is the humor in my house, THE TWINS....SADIE &HANNAH..THEY'RE NUTS!<3>I'm not gonna sit here and pretend we live a perfect "Brady Bunch"life,because WE DON'T,We have however in all our trial & error learned to cope with the bad things be strong & move past them,and a lot of times laugh at them,which i'm sure is goin' to make for many interesting blogs to follow.
