My Sexy Wife is the Best

In 2 weeks Nicki will give birth to our 3rd (and final) child (barring a miracle), Hailey Elizabeth “Stallone” Carnes. For those who know me, you understand the Stallone. Anyway, this post is dedicated to my smokin’ hot wife, who I am blessed to be with.

She not only is fully pregnant and deals with two wild and crazy boys at home, but she also runs a business from home making purses and totes (Pursenickity), on top of keeping the house clean, having dinner ready when I get home from the office or the gym, laundry, the household accounting (she used to do that professionally), and so much more that I could list but you would not have time to read. I think you get my point. She is awesome and hot!

My Son Is Talented

I am always amazed at what Gavin, my 5 year old, can do. Especially when it something that I have never been able to do. Its funny if you take your eyes off of your kids for just a short amount of time, they can get create a mess like Tristan did HERE but when you turn your head, they could surprise you too! Gavin built this log cabin all by himself…funny thing is, I was bored the other day, these were sitting out and I tried to build one and I couldn’t! I was showed up by a 5 year old.

The Tale of the 4 Cupcakes

There once was 4 cupcakes in a box and a little boy named Tristan.
When Mommy and Daddy turned their head.
The Cupcakes Disappeared…Hmmm! I wonder where they went?

When I was in 2nd grade, my dad was in the living room and we had some bottle rockets in the kitchen pantry, so I climbed in a chair, pulled one down, lit it and it shot through the house and popped!

Knowing that the sound of the bottle rocket had alerted the whole house, I quickly went to cover up my actions, so I did what every 2nd grader would do, I hid the smoking bottle rocket in the trash can, of course my dad had to be a smart aleck and ask me what happened, to which I replied in a similar smart alecky way, “I don’t know!?” (With a shrugging of the shoulders) – too bad that darned bottle rocket was smoking I may have gotten away with it.

Dress Up

I got out of the shower and walked into the living room and this is what Gavin had on, he made his own costume with one of those sleeping bags that fold up into a pillow. My childhood costumes were a little less creative, I would make my own Superman outfit or dress up like Rambo. I guess Gavin has a few extra creative genes in him.

I am Evil

Well, today I found out that one of Nicki’s aunts and uncles thinks that I am evil because I am associated with the Purpose Driven Youth Ministry (Purpose Driven in general) and because I freely and willingly will give the PD Life book to someone who is searching for “purpose” to their life or a PDYM Book for any youth pastor who is looking to bring balance to his or her ministry.

Hmmm…I guess there is nothing to worry about since this is the same couple who will place their hands on you as if they are giving you a friendly gesture, but what they are really doing is “silently casting evil spirits out of you.” I wondered why they always laid their hands on my shoulders!? Their friend has admittedly said that she has tried on several occasions to cast an evil spirit out of my wife’s step dad who is a devoted follower of Christ. I wonder if I can get them to help me fund my trip to the Gathering in September? Probably not.

So do you have any weird family members? What makes them weird or different?
