Adventures of Sir Winston Shannon


Not always the brightest crayon in the box, but we love him. He's no doubt a little fraction of a slice of what childhood will bring (especially if the newest Shannon is a boy).



This is underneath our recliner (in the recline position). He managed to wedge himself between this and the inside of the couch. Upon realizing he was not as comfortable as he'd hoped, he proceeded to try and escape through that little hole. Brent went to the rescue and I did my best to not move at all and prevent his unfortunate decapitation.

Another incident...


(Disclaimer: Room is currently under renovation. Disregard the mess.)
There used to be a mattress on this bed. We are turning the smaller room into a nursery and converting this full bed into a queen using the mattresses from the bed in the smaller room. Does that make sense? The mattress has been off the bed for a few weeks at this point, but I guess Winston forgot. My parents were visiting so we were all standing around the end of the bed talking. Winston, bless his heart, needing a break, jumped from the foot of the bed, over the footboard....landing on some boxes and tumbling to the floor. He wasn't phased at all by the fall or the mocking/taunting (we laughed for a long time-especially my mom).

Oh and yesterday, during the Tech game.....he peed on the coffee table, right next to Brent. He should know better by now about the whole potty training thing, but this is his first Tech football season so he had no way of knowing the severity of consequences during a losing game. They didn't interact for several hours after 'the incident', but have since made up.

Summer Time Bucket List

Summer is almost here!! For some of you, it has already begun, but for me, as I write this, my kids still have a couple more days of school.  We all know how crucial  those last few days of school are *eye roll*...filled with movies and extra recess etc.  Honestly, I am excited for the season, but I also going to appreciate the last few days of normalcy, too! In Texas, we have the long summer break that goes through late August.  Which means we have over 8 weeks of no school.  It's a long time.  Don't get me wrong, I love, love, LOVE having my kids home with me! I love the return to "easy" mornings to lay around, eat breakfast slowly and eventually start the day.  However, a week of this-great (maybe), more than that and you're asking for chaos!  There is nothing wrong with children experiencing boredom, I am a huge advocate of it in fact.  Again, however , too much of it and you're asking for chaos! Also, I really love experiencing new t...

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do...

9 Months and Counting...

Where have the past 9 months gone??  I keep looking through her pictures/videos from the day she was born and the next weeks that followed...I can't believe how big she's getting.   She is so fun and full of personality.  She has always been an "easy" baby: she's slept through the night since about 3 months, usually follows a (rough) nap schedule , eats all the fruits and veggies that we send her way, she's healthy and generally a happy baby.  Oh, and she's about a 100 on the cuteness scale from 1-10.  She's not afraid to speak her mind; she's VERY vocal.  She is very curious and adventurous; she's crawling, and climbing and standing (unassisted-for a few seconds at least)...this girl doesn't miss a thing!  Every time we have a check-up the Dr. just laughs at how active and curious and vocal she is and says something to the effect of, "she's going to be  fun ."  ...bringing a whole new meaning to the word fun... I can't ...
