Please never let Yesterday come again...

Yesterdays Events...



  • Woke up to no hot water. Had a plumber at my house all day replacing a water heater!

  • Decided to clean out my laundry room. Something mysteriously dripped on me so I looked up and water was dripping from my ceiling. The upstairs 'yucky' toilet had overflowed and was coming through the ceiling.

  • Spent my morning cleaning floors and putting buckets out in my laundry room to catch the 'yucky' water.

  • Could still hear the water dripping an hour later so went upstairs to check on the toilet and realized that the toilet full of 'yucky' water had overflowed AGAIN and was EVERYWHERE. Now the water had gotten in the Sheetrock and I had to slice open my Sheetrock and let all the 'yucky' water out.

  • CLEANED SOME MORE!

  • Got out of the house because I was tired of cleaning and decided to paint my front door and trim. Worked on that for a couple of hours until it was time to leave for back to school night. Left paint out and asked Nick to finish it for me while I was gone. (My fault) Came home at 8:15 to kids in swimsuits running around outside, paint on my porch and on my brick.

  • Went inside to see a full thing of Costco's lemonade dumped on my floor (someone was trying to have a lemonade stand).

  • Cooper ran in with a water balloon only to have it pop in the lemonade powder.

  • Cloroxed floors and toilets until 12:30 only to get ready for bed and realize that my 3 year old had snuck out of bed, gotten into my coconut oil and dumped out a new bottle on my FAVORITE shirt on my Hope Chest.

Now that was one **** of a day!!!

Bare with me during my 6 month recap...

I was cleaning out some of my pictures and realized that some of my sweet children had been forgotten! I can't let these memories fade!



Paxton had his first swim lessons and did really good. The first day he cried and Erin put him on the side in 'Time out'. When I asked him what was wrong after the lesson he wasn't upset that he had to put his face in the water he was just so upset that Erin would put him in time out in front of all his friends. I loved it!


This is Pax on the morning of his 3rd birthday! Happily all of my children did celebrate their birthdays on their birthday this year. Sadly that has not always been the case! :)




Pax wanted a Pirate party at the park. Easy Peasy for mom! We went to a park and had a lot of fun playing and eating cupcakes.



After the park we came home and opened family presents. He loves is Coop!!


Cooper decided he wanted to play T-Ball this year so he was on the Boston Red Sox! It was fun to see him get so excited and although Coop is kind of a lounger he loved T-ball.






For Samantha's birthday she wanted a SPA PARTY! So we turned the Siddoway residence into Oooh LaLa Spa! We had about 10 little girls doing nails, hair, make-up and getting pedi's.

Ahhhh.... Some of the amazing memories that I missed because of my blogging laziness. Feels good to have them written down. Question... When did I used to find the time to print off all my pictures, go to a scrapbook store and buy cute matching supplies, get everything out and spend 3+ hours putting together a two page spread for a birthday?? WHEN?
