Best Auntie Ever

Busy Busy last two weeks.....The kids have been as crazy as usual.  Drama is always brewing at the Oneida's.  Chase still thinks he does not need to do homework and Kaylee is crying to not go to soccer....  I posted on Facebook... TO MY KIDS THAT CAN CARE LESS ABOUT HOMEWORK OR WORK ETHIC... WALMART IS HIRING...

How should I teach my kids work ethic... my dad just made me move handlines and work on the farm...what do you do when you are a city kid??

Maybe there is hope for my chubby little nephew..

Oh Harlan.... we love having you around!!! (This is Harlan watching the kids doing their homework)

Our little girl

 Kaylee is one and only girl... I wish she would consider being alittle more tom boyish, but I guess I can kiss that idea away.  I am so thankful for her aunties that have taught her all the girlie stuff... makeup, how to straighten her hair.. and a few things they should not tell her.

Kaylee was the Bridal Assistant at Auntie Kelli and Uncle Luke's wedding in 2009.  Basically her one job was to do everything Auntie Kelli needed her to do, including holding her dress so she could pee.

 

Kaylee has been active in soccer since she was in first grade and loves it! Last season we switched clubs to BNSC and love it!! We traveled to Jackson Hole in the Fall and had a blast! Kaylee continues to work hard with her skills and we are so proud of her....

 Kaylee loves photography!  She has done a wonderful job taking and editing photos. These are two samples of her work.  The leaves picture was picked  among 5 others on Picnik's facebook page http://www.facebook.com/picnik  Stop by and check it out...

I am so excited to see what the future holds for her!

Cooper Strikes again.......

Oh my Innocent Cooper.....

Who would of thought this preemie would be so busy as he grew older?  Born at 32 4/7 weeks, Cooper Reed Oneida came into this world weighing 4 lbs 11 oz.  He came in with a bang, with a ride in the ambulance (while he was still in Mommy), a stat c-section and two weeks in the NICU where Momma works.  He was loved by all in the NICU (a bit spoiled if you ask me)...Then he grew..

TO a big boy.. This is Cooper at his five year doctor appointment!  Don't let that cute face change melt you... Cooper has been anything but innocent in his 5.5 years.....From cutting his hair, hiding so we can't find him for school... you name it.. he has done it...

I know you are thinking...he looks soooo innocent...

But really???? Is he...????

Look what I found on Friday....A Sharpie, and well, Tally marks!!! (in their bathroom)  It looks as if he was keeping time that he is in prison or something.  Like Tom Hanks in Castaway.. Marking his time on the island....

The Sharpie... I am sure supplied by Office Depot..(Where Jamie works!)

When we confronted Cooper about the situation, he simply replied he was practicing his Tally Marks.. Why don't you like them Momma?????

No one told me Motherhood would be easy... but I never knew it would be this hard!!!! Stay tuned for pictures of Cooper cleaning his Mess!!!



Ahhh fifth grade again

Chase my ten year old is in fifth grade this year.  To say the least it has been a struggle.  At times I feel that I am repeating the fifth grade.  Homework has become my duty in the marriage.  I won't argue... because Jamie's duty is cooking.. I am posting not only Chase's spelling list but also one sheet of his math homework I helped him with.  Once you see the spelling words go to spellingcity.com and test yourself!  PS for the Math, I need to see your work!
