No more cribs...

Well it has been a great 8 1/2 year run cribs.... I remember the day we bought you!  I was only a few months pregnant.  We brought you to our house on Xenwood.  Put you together and had Benzo sit in you for pictures!!!  You moved with us to Browndale and then to Jennings Cove.  Benzo, Peyton, Greyson, Reed and Gabe all enjoyed fun times in you!!!  WOW!  It has been a great run.  I am now officially a Mom of 4 BIG KIDS!  No more babies :(  Thanks for all the memories!

Mini Michael Jordan aka Mini Jeff Uelmen


Seeing Gabe in Grey's Michael Jordan Flip Flops and Jeff's Michael Jordan hat is fun but when he wants to wear Jeff's Michael Jordan outfit from when he was Gabe and Grey's age, that makes me just sit back and smile. 

It is scary to think but I remember Jeff wearing that outfit and seeing pictures of him in it.  And now, my kids are wearing it!!

There is NOTHING better than kids!!!!

I'm Elmo and I know it!

Why is everyone so into LMFAO's song?  I am trying to teach Peyton and Greyson that saying anything like...."I'm pretty and I know it"  "I'm smart and I know it" "I'm athletic and I know it" isn't something that I would ever hope to hear my children say.... but for some reason, this song is what ALL the kids want to sing.... so I found this on you tube and this is what they can listen to when they want to dance and sing!  Plus the twins love it!

Shaving Cream Party


A MUST DO FOR EVERYONE IN THE SUMMER!

Invite your friends over and have them each bring a few bottles of shaving cream.  (Hint:  Most dollar stores sell Shaving Cream!!)  Let the kids go at it in the yard and after make everyone rinse off in the hose.  Creates a fun mess but pretty easy clean up!
