Rudy Family Rukus~Parenting tips and humor meet in one big "rukus"

Having two girls is really quite fun.  Well most of the time!

You Belong in 1990 With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good! What Year Do You Belong In?

Someone to take pity on me and watch my kids so my hubby and I can go on a DATE.  He has tomorrow OFF.  That never happens.  I haven't exhausted all my options but it never hurts to beg your blogging friends first (well second I already tried one person, already busy).

So staying with the theme from the previous post.  I have only about 3 pictures of my dad as well so he gets one with Brook too.  She is pretty cute and we really like her so it is all good.  Happy Birthday Dad and grandpa.  We love you and hope you have a great day.  And I am going to take more pictures of you and Mom!!  haha

So the slacker that I am I nearly let my mother's Birthday slip my mind.  So I just spent the last 30 minutes sorting through 800 million digital photos and seriously I have um two of her with her eyes open not pointing or wearing attire specific to Christmas morning.  Just kidding mom.  I feel like you will absolutely approve of this chosen photo, and since it is YOUR Birthday and you can cry if you want to (please don't there is nothing to cry about)  I wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing to you.  I love that word I hate to tell you that I learned it because that is how they describe the flooring in the new hospital.  But I looked it up in the dictionary and it means : as pertaining to beauty.  Which to me you do or are.  It isn't all about how you look but how you act and what a great mother you were and are and what a fantastic grandmother you are.  You wear many hats and we love and respect all you do whether you think we do or not.  I feel I speak for all your chil...

So I and the three musketeers (aka Rudy Kids)  jumped in the Mama Car and headed to the grandma house for Sunday dinner.  Mind you it is two hours away, but I was hungry for a meal cooked by my mother so off we went post the cutest Primary Program to date.  It is always a proud moment for a mother when her kids stand up to the microphone look for mommy in the crowd accept the head nod and then say word for word the pre memorized line.  And of course the little four year old hand that keeps waving and waving despite the mommies efforts to squash the enthusiasm, is really funny to all her friends mommies.  Back to the trip.  We got halfway up the treacherous canyon and wouldn't you believe that 20% chance of rain they talked about on the news last night turned into 100% and made for a really exciting ride only enhanced by Dalton's car sickness.  We made it none the less and I was able to enjoy mashed potatoes and gravy (my favorite and something I deprive myself of while dieting)...

My sister-in-law is very thoughtful, always has been.  Thinks of things I would never dream of.  She found this blog and I read it and cried and quit looking at it.  Not her she added it as a link from her blog and is now making quilts for the children.  Go here to learn more w ww.quilt4nie.blogspot.com .  Please donate if you can.  It is such a great cause and I know we could all use the blessings from the service.  Please spread the word and feel free to link from your blogs to the site or my sis-in-laws blog HERE  .  Thanks for taking the time!!
