I am not THAT kind of Gal but if I were.............

I am not THAT kind of Gal ....

that would go shopping for one little girl and then

have to buy something for my own

BUT

if I were THAT kind of Gal.......

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I might just tell you that

Bubba's awesome teacher 

 has an awesome wife

that will be giving birth soon to an awesome daughter

We needed to go shopping to buy baby awesome some AWESOME outfits.

While we were out shopping Regan spotted this beauty......

If I were THAT kind of Gal I might just tell you that

I first told her...."no we are shopping for baby awesome."

BUT if I were THAT kind of Gal I had to give

in to my fashionista's amazing find...right??

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I might just tell you how

HARD it is to find little girl clothing in a sive 7....

 not tween clothing BUT little girl clothing.

{why is everything so short and tight?!?!?}

Oh, and Yes... it came with a

matching dress for Katie doll. :)

If I were THAT kind of Gal

than I might just tell you that the

 second we got home she tried it on and

squealed with delight when it fit JUST right. :)

I am not THAT kind of Gal that would end up buying more than one outfit for my little fashionista and then go on to buy a ton of cute PINK outfits for baby awesome despite being told that mommmy awesome said no pink. Oh, yes and there will be matching hair bows also... wink!

BUT since I am not THAT kind of Gal I guess there is nothing more to say here... :)

I am not THAT kind of Gal but if I were..............

I am not THAT kind of Gal that would EVER admit

that my  children are anything less than PERFECT

BUT

if I were THAT kind of Gal I might just tell you that.....

My oh so sweet Bubba has developed........... 

a TEMPER!!! 

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I might just tell you that

 he is lucky that I don't understand what he is screaming.

I am sure it isn't nice. wink!

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I might just tell you

that even when he is having a "fit" he still looks

pretty darn cute and it is hard for me not to start

cracking up every time. :) 

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I might just

 tell you that it has become a bit of a joke

in our family....

if we get mad we pull a "Bubba" ....

make fists, growl, and make the angry face. 

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I might tell

you that if you are going to make the "Bubba face"

you really should only do it in the privacy of

your own home.

{I growled at my niece at the zoo and

sent her into tears.... woops.}

note to self: not everyone growls :)

Well, since I am NOT THAT kind of girl and my kids are perfect in every way I guess there isn't anything else to say here.

I'm not THAT kind of Gal but if I were...........

I am not THAT kind of Gal that would ever use an air horn to get my son's attention

BUT if I were ....................

I am THAT kind of Gal but if I were I would tell you that we took our family pictures last Saturday and an air horn works great to get our profoundly deaf son's attention.

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I might  just tell you that I didn't care how many people we annoyed because every time we hit the horn he smiled BIG :)

I am not that kind of Gal but if I were I would tell you that we are never taking a family picture with out an air horn handy from now on BUT since I am not THAT kind of Gal I guess there isn't anything else to say here.

I'm not THAT kind of Gal but if I were.............

I am not THAT kind of Gal that would take

 her kids out of school early to go to Disneyland

BUT if I were.............

I am not THAT kind of Gal but if were....

 I would tell you how much fun we had as a family!! 

If I were THAT kind of Gal I would tell you how excited we

are that Daddy has the week off from work!!!

 WAHOOO

{He works so hard and some weeks it feels like

we don't see him at all.}

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I

might just tell you how wonderful it was to

hold this sweet little girl's hand all afternoon. 

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I would tell you how

 excited Jason and I were when we talked Regan into

going on the Haunted Mansion. 

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I would tell you

how there is nothing like a Dinsey carmel apple in the fall. 

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I might just tell you how

Regan didn't have a chance to get her homework for the week

becuase she was pulled out early.... woops! 

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I would

 tell you that I LOVE all of the fun

 fall decorations at Disneyland!!!!!

 Oh, they are the best! 

If I were THAT kind of Gal that would

take her kids out of school early for

Disneyland BUT since I am NOT than I guess

there is nothing more to say here!!!

WINK!

I'm not THAT kind of Gal BUT if I were......

I'm not THAT kind of Gal that would turn a

LONG line at the car wash into a photo shoot

BUT

if I were.....

If I were THAT kind of Gal

I would tell you how sweet Regan was and how I

 gasped when I saw this picture on my screen. 

If I were THAT kind of Gal

I would tell you that we only let the kids

in the front seat when we drive through the car wash.

{no calls to CPS please} 

If I were THAT kind of Gal

I might tell you how EXCITED Bubba gets

to sit in the front seat. 

If I were THAT kind of Gal

than I might tell you that Regan and I can make a pretty good

"kissy face"

{per her request} 

If I were THAT kind of Gal

than I might tell you how these two boys are my most

favorite boys to shoot!

If I were THAT kind of Gal

than I might tell you that after taking this picture Regan

and I decided that we need a good pedi ASAP! 

If I were THAT kind of Gal

than I might tell you how I love capturing EVERY

moment no matter how small it might be.....

 if it is a good one, I want to remember it!

If I were THAT kind of Gal

than I might tell you that I am reconsidering our location

for our family pictures this year.

Maybe, we should just do it in the front seats of my van!

wink!!!

I am not THAT kind of Gal but if I were.....

I am not THAT kind of Gal that would just brag and BRAG about her kids....

BUT if I were.....

If I were THAT kind of Gal I would tell you that my children have super powers....

No, really they do!!

If I were THAT kind of Gal I would

tell you that Regan can fly!!!

Her powers are so great that I had to make her a super cape....

fit for a Diva of course! wink!

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I would tell you that she can fly where ever she wants BUT chooses to be disciplined and for now just use her powers for good in our living room! wink!

{Ok, please ignore all of Bubba's toys in the corner.... I mean really I am asking myself right now why I didn't just crop this picture... YIKES... please don't judge! wink!!!}

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I would tell you that Bubba also has a super power.

He has the power to make anyone smile!!!

I bet you are smiling right now just looking at this picture!

He can make a stranger.... grumpy old guy.....

 or anyone in our family smile

Just by simply smiling at them!

{He only uses this power for good I assure you!!}

BUT

Since I am NOT THAT kind of Gal I guess there is nothing more to say here!!

{I hope you all have a wonderful week!}

I am not THAT kind of Gal but if I were.......

I am not THAT kind of Gal that would EVER

 put her children behind bars lock my children out

BUT if I were......

If I were that kind of Gal than I might tell you that the day that I put up a gate on our tiny cozy, galley kitchen doorway was a GREAT one!

I am not THAT kind of Gal but if I were....

I might tell you that it all started becuase this little guy discovered the knobs on the stove top.

{Yes, I heard the click...click...click of

 our gas stove and RAN in!!...ummm... SCARY!!!}

If I were THAT kind of Gal I might tell you that what started out as a saftey precaution quickly tunred into Mommy's "happy" place.

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I might tell you that I find myself

 WANTING {eeek} to do the dishes and cook just to get away.... wink!

If I were THAT kind of Gal than I might tell you that I had my Hubby install an under cabinet radio/cd player just so that I could tune out rock out while I am oh so productive. :)

{Don't let those faces fool you..... they stand their and rock out with me!! wink!}

BUT

Since I am not THAT kind of Gal I guess there is nothing more to say!

wink!!

I am not THAT kind of Gal but if I were.......

I am not THAT kind of Gal that would lock my kids up

BUT if I were.......

I would tell you that Laundry Hampers are useful for more than just laundry.

WINK!

If I were THAT kind of Gal I would tell you that the holes in the hamper are perfect for air holes.

WINK!

If I were THAT kind of Gal I would tell you that it is kind of cute to see little fingers sticking out.

If I were THAT kind of Gal I would tell you that BIG/ little sisters might just enjoy it all a little too much!

WINK!

I am not THAT kind of Gal that would lock my kids up BUT if I were I might just tell you that this game has quickly become one of his favorites!!!

{if you can't tell by that smile!}

I am not THAT kind of gal BUT if I were......

I am not THAT kind of gal that would EVER let anyone yell at my children...

BUT if I were....

I might tell you how fun it is to see Bubba listen to what someone has to say. wink!

I might tell you that his $3,000 hearing aids are so over rated!!

(He refuses to wear them)

If I were THAT kind of gal ....

than I might just need to invest in a bullhorn of my own. wink

BUT since I am not THAT kind of gal I guess there isn't anything else to say!
(Oh, and please don't report me to CPS.... really Bubba is profoundly deaf and this did not hurt him one bit.. wink!!!)

I am not THAT kind of gal BUT if I were......

 I am NOT that kind of gal to like video games BUT if I were...

I would tell you how fun it is to see moments like this..

How it makes me feel good to know that he likes something

every other "normal" ten year old boy likes to do.

 (Even if his sweet little fingers can't work the remote.)

I might just tell you how EVERYONE in the family laughs at Mommy becuase

 I always seem to crash off bridges or get beat by my six year old daughter.

If I were THAT kind of gal than I might tell you how sweet these two look cuddled up together playing Mario Cart (Bubba's favorite game.)

If I were THAT kind of gal than I might tell you that I don't

mind Daddy playing his war games with Bubba around any more.

It helps pass the time with his hour long feeds hooked up to a machine.

(Bubba LOVES them, I don't understand it but he does)

I am not THAT kind of gal but if I were I would tell you that

I get teary eyed when I see this amazing big

sister help her little BIG brother play video games.

They have fun together, they laugh.

BUT since I am not THAT kind of gal to ever allow video games in my home

 than I guess there is nothing more to say here...... WINK!!
