Spinoff thread for Mommies

with my kids... they each have their own song which i made up just for them.

my eldest is a version of "rock a baby" (similar to rock a bye-baby)

my son is "momma loves me" (sang to the tune of jesus loves me)

my youngest is completely made up... "emma bodema and a dippity do... emma bodema we love you..." when she was a baby her best friend was emma and she just loved hearing her name. if she was crying and i started singing this... she'd calm down immediately!

No way girl! That is total, complete "momma, baby snooze time" perfection! Pics like that don't get any better! :D
Of course "Daddy, baby snooze time" pics are priceless too. ;)

Awwww, thanks! I do love that tiny little face and those sweet little hands. Hard to believe she's now taller than me and raids my closet! :happycry:


Ooooh, Aleesha, that is so sweet! Wish I had come up with that "Momma Loves You" idea when mine were babies. Maybe I can do that with the grandkids some day. FAR in the future, lol.

"Hoss the Boss" huh? LOL That sounds like Brandi... she thinks she's the queen of all things and by God don't argue with her or... well, if looks could kill..... :O :rolleyes:

Always seems in a family...you've got one of em! LOL "Hoss" used to toddle into the room as a baby, and both cats and our dog would immediately stand up in unison and exit the room LOL. They knew better than stick stick around the little girl in diapers would wanted to love em and hug em and boss em around! (she was sort of like that cartoon girl and her cat!)

One day when "Hoss" was 6 our cat didn't get away quick enough. Mike and I were sitting having coffee when the cat wandered by. Mike noted that she looked a tad odd....apparently the cat didn't come with bright red whiskers and a purple stripe down her back!!! Further investigation revealed a certain daughter of mine decided the cat needed make-up and having raided her older's sisters hidden stash of permanent markers.....decorated our cat! "Hoss" is 13 now and still insists that the cat looked quite nice LOL.

When my 2 were little, i never really had a special song for each of them. Just sang whatever was on the radio at the time or whatever little lullaby popped into my head (You Are My Sunshine, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, etc.). Although when Chenoa was still in utero, when ever the song Can't Escape My Love by Enrique Iglesias (I think) would play, she would get all kicky and stuff, and she would only do it with that song. I used to take it as maybe she was dancing, but now that I think about it maybe she was trying to say "Oh No Mom, not THAT song again!!". :)

But now whenever I sing, both of them yell "Stop Singing!!" and try to put their hands over my mouth. :( So I try to subject them to my singing as much as possible in the car....LOL. Although now they have gotten to singing songs off the radio themselves and it is soooooo cute!!!

Here are a couple of pics of my group.

This is from just after last Christmas, it was taken in St. Augustine, FL.
Starting from the left there's Cassie(11), Chenoa(4), Brittany(13),My husband Darrel, and our son Kayden(2).

And I had to add this in here. It was our last day in FL. and we had spent all evening outside my sis-in-laws house around a fire cooking hotdogs, roasting marshmallows, and of course for the kids playing in dirt. So my son has a mixture of dirt and marshmallows on his face. LOL They were both so tired!!

Aww, Pamela, you have an absolutely beautiful family. I think I would spend all day kissing Kayden's cheeks and forehead.

I do the singing in the car thing too, much to everyone's chagrin :D

Thanks ladies.. they are fun for the most part, Ethan (the little one) has had alot of health problems, cronic ear infections & respitory problems, sleep apnea & hes primarily nonverbal (16mos doesn't talk or walk) he goes to speech twice weekly so were making progress with him.. they really are overall fun though. I think they are cute, but again im bias. i really enjoy doing photography of them!


its so great seeing and hearing about everyones children way cool (everyones children are so cute, and i dont even like kids!)
