Kiersten’s Blog

Which do you think is more safe?

I’m just sayin’.

And just because I found these images funny, enjoy.

London and I both got our hair cut yesterday. I went really short and I love it! I’ll post a picture of her later–after I take one.

WordPress just told me that I had some drafts that had never published of blogs from months ago.  So if you’re confused with your feed, so am I.

My water tastes like dirt.

This is what my life has looked like for the past week.  More details to follow.  But maybe not soon.

The kids and I had fun tonight before bed.  They like to build a “do it again tower.”  They call it a “do it again tower” because they build it, then knock it over and have to do it again, all the while singing this song by The Bird and The Bee.  Again & Again

While building the tower, I found one of these cars and realized that it was the perfect size to fit on Ashton’s nose.

I still can't figure out why he thinks that smiling means closing your eyes.

It became a fun little game for all involved.

Seriously? Can't we just get a normal picture?

Funny kids.

If you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you’ll know how I feel about dogs.  Let’s just say that I’m not really a dog person.  And I’m less of a cat person.  In fact, I’m not even a fish person.  I’m just not a pet person at all.  I have kids.  Isn’t that good enough?  Maybe I’m depriving them of responsibility by not giving them pets, but I’m okay with that.

The thing that prompted my blog was a picture that Taylor came across on Twitter today.  Yes, he tweets.  But that’s another blog.

I just can’t believe how ridiculous some people are with their pets.  Um, guys, they’re pets, not family members.  They should NOT be sitting in a high chair at the dinner table with you.  That’s just unsanitary.  And weird.  Also, let me make it clear that your pets don’t belong in The Home Depot with you, or in the mall, or at the ZOO!

Really?  The zoo?  Who ARE you people?  Okay, my rant’s over.  Now go hug your pet because I sure won’t be.

P.S. In my last “Dog Blog” comments, Marisa mentioned that she knew somebody who put BRACES on their dog!  You have GOT to be kidding me.

Today was one of those days.  My kids were crazy.  But it wasn’t just them.  I was in kind of a cranky mood all day so I didn’t have the patience with them that I normally do.  It started out in church when Ashton decided that hitting his mother would be a good idea.  Then after church, London just wanted to be a brat.  She was probably sent to time-out at least 6 times today.  She didn’t care.  Once Ashton woke up from his afternoon nap, he was even more obnoxious and just kept screaming (you know, those high-pitched screams) just to bother me.  And he did a good job.  Finally after dinner, I sent them outside to play.  Don’t ask me why I didn’t do this earlier.  That was the best idea of the day!  They were good!  And they were funny.  They played together well.  They made up the game “Rollercoaster” or if you’re two, you would call it, “Whee.”  They dragged the wagon up the grass hill in our back yard.  London would buckle Ashton in, then push the wagon off down the hill and jump in.  I’m sure we’ll see more of this game as the summer goes on.  Don’t judge me that I just watch my kids fly down the hill in a red wagon.

I’m having a giveaway on my other blog, so go and leave a comment!

This evening on a whim, we jumped in the car and drove to the coast.  We got there just in time for the sunset.  We love to go see the seals, especially at sunset, and this time there were some smaller seals hanging around.  We stood on the wall and watched the sun drop behind the water.  The kids, of course, loved it.  Every time a wave hit the wall, Ashton’s raspy voice would shout, “WOAH!”  I’m always amazed by our Heavenly Father’s creations.  I’m glad that I can spend time watching nature in this beautiful place we live.
