Howdy! There has been SO SO SO much going on in the past month, I can't even remember what my name is half the time! I've been wanting to blog but can't seem to find a second to do it. You can assume there's craziness in this home if I don't blog for a while, since blogging is a priority since it's a strange type of therapy. :) We finally got internet service and our desk set up, so here I sit..
next to a mysterious somebody's dinner leftovers???
...ready to try to catch this thing up finally. Half the family is working with dad, Holden just went down for a nap after filling his belly, Carson and JD are eating breakfast watching Toy Story, and Kamryn is sleeping still - recovering from a long weekend!
I've barely had my camera. I'm sick of it. I've been taking lots of pics with my phone though. They're not half bad pics, they preserve memories and the phone is always handy! Can't complain about that can I!
Instead of 14 million posts, I'm gonna do a little update on each of us then post a bunch of pics. At least that's my plan. I'm sure the plan will evolve! :)
I'll start with tiny britches!
Mr. Holden will be 4 weeks old tomorrow! He's growing like crazy! At his 2 week check up (and circumcision appt. :( poor guy) he was 1 oz under 9 pounds. I have no idea how chunky he is now! The kid can EAT! In fact, that's pretty much all he does! He's super sweet and cuddly and everyone loves him dearly. We love him so much we let him sleep between us at night! :) But that's nothing new for the Dancers. Oh crud, he's crying right now - I shall return! K, that reminded me...when he cries he says, "hunnnGeee!" Funny! He can already talk! And his first word is hungry! :)
J.D. is so stinkin' adorable right now. I mean to tell you, this kiddo is a little stinker britches but it's SO funny! I can't wait to see his personality grow. He's strong willed and stubborn and extremely determined but cute and funny and loving. He is in heaven being a big brother. He's very gentle with his little "O-nin" and laughs and smiles every time he sees him. He runs to see him as soon as he crawls out of his crib each morning! J.D. is starting to talk a little more. He knows everything you're talking about but still isn't much of a talker. His favorite words are:
Hank Hugh (thank you) he's very polite! :)
Dop Dop (Stop) as he points his finger in your face!
ZeeO (cereal)
Buddy (Buzz and Woody) he tries to recite every line of Toy Story throughout the whole movie!

Nin or Onin (Holden)
Ohhh, Holden's crying again...
Gosh, I can't even think of any others right now. UMmmm, JD is a tank. People always think he's Carson's twin. He's a little shorter but has a big old Eddie Smith pumpkin head and a roolie pollie body! :) Still has daddy's big blue eyes! I guess those aren't going anywhere if they haven't yet, right?
Carson Dean is three and tries to give me heart failure daily! He's a monkey explorer and loves to test his limits. He's been spending a lot of time with his daddy and Mason working like a big boy. That's one thing that makes him really happy and fulfilled! Right now he's screaming at me..."Mooooom, please. come. wipe. my. buuuuuutt!"
Good timing Deano...Holden's crying again! BRB <---kids taught me that! :)
K, got the butt wiped and fed Holden again. Now I'm holdin' Holden which means one finger peck typing!
Ohhhhh....now Holden's pooping!
OK...next one up. Mason Pape Dancer! (Yay! Kamryn woke up and came to get Holden!) Mason is the funniest boy ever. He says things that keep me rolling all day! I can only imagine what it would be like to be in his head! OFF THE WALL comments! Examples:
Just laying around the other day and he looks at dad and says, "dad...in all the years I've been alive I've noticed that you just get handsomer and handsomer!" With a big smirk Jay says, "now you know what you have to look forward to!" Oh my boys!
Then after watching Karate Kid the other day he comes to me and lifts his "hockchaw" hand and says, "live or die" of course we continued with "die, wrong...honk!"
When he honked my nose I said Ouuccchhh! With a very serious / inquisitive look he said,
"What, sharp booger?"
I could go on and on. He's a total goof. The boy LOVES baseball and is so bummed that he missed the season. He asked dad if he could go out in the field and mow in the shape of a baseball diamond. ??? Dad told him he'd need to walk to the end of the driveway (just a mile round trip) and get the mower (which is as big as him) then they could work on it.
Mason disappeared for about a half hour and came back pulling the mower

Kamryn! She's mommy #2. The girl is in love with these 3 little boys. She begs me daily to have more. But she's requesting a sister. :) Kambo is going into junior high now - which doesn't seem possible! She's just a tiny little thing. Mason actually passed her up finally. Kam's had a pretty low-key year. She hasn't done sports since fall but hopefully she can stay involved again after the summer. She's signed up for soccer and I've heard a few comments around town that people are looking forward to watching her again! She's a total crack up when she plays. She's like a rabid poodle! :) Kam has a big old giant heart, a big old giant personality and tons of energy! Her homeroom teacher this year told me she'll definitely go into "the arts!" She must perform! Maybe we'll think about acting classes.
Casey Lee just celebrated her 13th birthday on June 2nd. Her bday stunk! She got a cool gift that she wanted but we weren't able to do much and the day ended with a homemade cake that was drier than a popcorn fart! I've done a few updates on the Max lately so you all know about her sports and academic goodies. She's a hard worker and very driven. Most people say, when their baby turns 13, "I can't believe she's already a teenager!" Not, me! I say, "I can't believe she's ONLY a teenager! This kiddo is wise way beyond her years. It's a joy to have her around!
My darling Kara just graduated and is moving on to high school! Shut the front door! (thanks for that one Stace!) She'll be at our old stompin' grounds! Go Miners! She also just had the honor of being the 111th Portuguese Picnic Queen on June 5th. She was beautiful! She's going through big changes in her life. She's growing up so fast! You've seen a pic or two of Mr. Cody friend. Again, she's not allowed to "date" before age 16 (and neither is he) - but these two have such a cute little bond. We're letting them "hang out" a little to hopefully avoid temptation to sneak and fib. He's a darling boy. She definitely has good taste!
Finally, Mr. Hayden. He's also heading into high school. CRAZY business! We haven't seen him in so so so long. It's pretty heartbreaking. I'm sure he'll be taller than me when we see him next. I'll do a big update on Hayden soon, cuz there's lots of awesome things to tell you about him, but for now the best news I can tell you is...
He'll be here on Wednesday!!!!!!
We are all SO SO SO SO SO excited to finally see him!
Jay Dancer is still on cloud 9. He's busy being a cowboy still. LOVING life! Learning tons every day and teaching tons too. This is definitely what my guy was born to do! He's got a lot on his plate right now but he's still happier than ever. That makes me happier than ever!
Me, I'm just regular old me. I have a zillion thoughts to write about and hopefully I'll get to soon. One new thing, I'm a little over a week into my weight loss plan! That's so exciting! I'm ready to feel young again! I'm actually very proud of myself so far. This is hard for me because 1) I'm nursing 2) could use a wink or two of sleep 3) I'm an emotional eater and my emotions are all over the place! I thank God for a wonderful understanding and loving husband!
OK - that's enough for now. Now for some pics!
