Boo and Roo

Whew! First post, a clean slate...and where to begin? I am Kristi, Mom to Peanut 11 weeks, Noodle (also known as Roo) 5 years, and Ferd (my dear Blake who passed away in 2006 at the age of 16). I am also stepmom to Cellabug, 18 and Broccoli, 12. Joie is my little sister and we lovingly pass back and forth the Mother of the Year Award. We started this blog to give you a glimpse into our lives that are filled with the crazy antics of mostly BooBoo and Noodle. These girls continually say things that we laugh about amongst our families, sometimes to the point of hysterics.

I'll begin with telling you a little story that happened this week. Noodle is obsessed right now with watching home videos of her brother, Ferd. This happens even to the point of taking them to bed with her at night. She was only 2 1/2 when she lost her brother, but she has an amazing memory of him. It has been 2 1/2 years since we lost Blake and I am just now able to watch his home videos. Little did I know that they would mean so much to her! She was watching a video of a time around Blake's third birthday. Lisa (my best friend since 5th grade) and her husband Paul were at our apartment along with their basset hounds, Anna and Hobbes. We are going on about our business, having a little birthday celebration by ourselves as Lisa and Paul were just leaving for Paul's tour in Germany and wouldnt be here for Ferds actual birthday party. You could hear the dogs in the background, amazingly loud barkers if I do say so myself, but we had yet to actually see them on the video. Paul was wrestling around with Blake teasing him about his birthday card and Blake was squealing with joy. Blake took off running to Lisa who is sitting on the loveseat and the dogs who are just excited to have someone their size to play with, appear on the screen chasing him madly on his trip across the living room. Noodle, my little animal lover that she is, jumped up and shouted with such enthusiam and delight "TWIN HOT DOGS"!!! This caused me to burst into much needed laughter that day as she had no clue that she had even said anything funny! Twin hot dogs it is Noodle! I love the little things you say that make me smile.
