Uncle Brian
It hit me like a ton of bricks that I have failed to mention Uncle Brian in our blog. How on earth could I have left him out thus far? He is a tremendous Uncle to our three kids. He wears them out while playing werestle mania in the basement (it's a real sight to see), he takes the boys off my hands when I need a breather, he is so sweet to Caroline, and he laughs the hardest at my Jack and Thomas stories.

What goes with Cinnamon Rolls? ...MILK!
It's a good thing Corey went to Sam's to get milk for the week because I made cinnamon rolls for the first time on Tuesday. What compliments cinnamon rolls better than milk? Yummy!

Desatin, No Problem!
Last week I stumbled onto a pile of creamy, white Desatin smeared all over the dinning room floor. Hmmmmm. I instantly knew who the culprit was due to the fact that both Thomas and Caroline were napping. I quickly wiped up the mess and then I waited to see what Jack would do when he came back to the dining room and saw that the white goop was gone. I know Jack all too well, and I knew that he was going to try to clean the mess up by himself before telling me about it.
Seconds later I peek upstairs to find the hall closet light on and I see Jack looking for something. I let him find what he is looking for and I waited in the kitchen for his next move. Ah ha! A new roll of paper towels came bounding down the stairs and Jack quickly came down after it. He rounded the corner with his paper towels in hand and then stopped abruptly as he noticed the mess was gone. I was spying on him from the hallway and trying so hard not to laugh out loud. He had this quizzical expression on his face and before I knew it he was running toward me to tell me he 'accidently' made a mess and that he couldn't find the mess anymore.
I confessed that I cleaned it up first and that I was watching him to see how he was going to resolve the issue. He then admitted that he had a rash on his bottom, applied the Desatin himself (which he has never done before for good reason), and then spilled a ton on Desatin on the floor and wanted to clean it up before I could get mad about it. His words, not mine. We both had a good laugh and then I had him go to the bathroom to wash his hands. Yuck.

Farewell Spring , Hello Summer!
Thomas got his first haircut with the clippers!
He looks so old and so much more like Jack!
Katie turned the big 3-0!
The high school gang got together to celebrate over dinner at Gram and Dun and drinks in Waldo! We had such a fantastic time out on the town!
Thanks to Caitlin, Carrie, Katie and Molly for a fun evening!
The Boddicker babes went to Grandpa Darby's pool for the first time this summer over Memorial Day Weekend. Caroline looked pretty cute in her 3T swimsuit!
Jack really wanted a T-Rex Takedown for his fourth Birthday!
He saw this toy one time at Target and couldn't stop talking about it!
Thank goodness Mom and Dad came through!
The O'Shea and Boddicker babes celebrated Jack's Birthday!
So typical that one Boddicker child refused to face the camera! Good work Caroline!
Jack turns 4!
Happy Fourth Birthday Jack! We love you so much! Life just would not be nearly as exciting or sweet without you!
Love,
Dad, Mom, Thomas, Caroline & Baby # 4

The World is Jack's Urinal
Guest post #2 on the blog. Another story that has to be told in the first person. I am an avid outdoors man who enjoys hunting, fishing, camping, etc. Much to my enjoyment, both of the boys have taken a liking to going on "adventures" with their dad.
Every spring (usually in February) male deer drop their antlers and begin growing them back for the fall breeding season in order to fight for the females. There is a window of a few weeks after the antlers are dropped before the forest turns green again. It is a perfect time to head into the timber with the boys and hunt for deer antlers with Jack and Tommy.
This particular Sunday, Grandpa Boddicker and I loaded our pockets up with snacks and bottled water and headed into the woods with Jack and Tommy. After about an hour of hiking through the woods Jack announced that he had to pee and wanted to head back to the house and find a toilet. Grandpa Mike and I explained to Jack that when boys are in the woods, they can pee on a tree or in the bushes. Jack dropped his pants to his ankles and got a big kick out of peeing in the woods. We headed back to the house empty handed. Alison rolled her eyes about Jack "going in the woods" but the life lesson had to be learned. And now the story starts....
The following day, Alison had an appointment at the doctor's office. I made it home from the office early to relieve Grandpa Mike Darby of his babysitting duties. The kids were hopped up and acting like maniacs. We made some small talk and Mike started laughing and informed me he had a story to tell.
"After Alison left everyone was playing in the backyard on the swingset." Mike said. "I was pushing Tommy on the swing while Jack was running around the yard. Next thing I know, Jack drops his pants to his ankles and started peeing on the lawn."
I told Mike the about the hike in the woods and had to sit Jack down and explain the difference between peeing in the woods and peeing in the middle of the yard. Alison was mortified. I, on the other hand, could not stop laughing about the whole situation. Three months later and we have yet to have a repeat.
