The Faces Behind SMT

Silly Mom Thoughts isn’t your typical mommy blog. I won’t bore you with my kids’ growth stats or brag about their intellect. Instead, you’ll find the grossest, most hilarious stories of my two preschoolers and twins and a few marriage funnies too.

Meet Colby.

Age: Four-and-a-half

Personality: Hardheaded-yet-sensitive (he’s his own conundrum)

Addiction: Teriyaki Chicken (The kid hates cheese, but will devour teriyaki. Go figure.)

Stand-out feature: The most ridiculously long eyelashes you’ve ever seen

A Colby-ism: “Mommy, I need Puh-see!” (That’s “Percy” as in, a train from the Thomas series…)

Then there’s Lily.

Oh, my little Lily.

Age: Two-and-a-half

Personality: Sassy as all get-out

Addiction: Fruit. And cheese. And pizza. And… well, food. (Whining is a close second.)

Stand-out feature: Her super blond, perfectly curled on the end locks.

What she’s known for: Being mischievous. Sadly, most of the time, that involves her poo.

And of course, The Twinkies.

Zander and Wyatt

Wyatt (formerly known as Lefty in-utero) was born just a minute before his twin brother Zander (formerly known as Righty)

Age: 10 months

Personalities: Both are smile-y little dudes.

Wyatt: The thinker. The observer. The talker.

Zander: “Lemme down! Gotta go, go, go!” oddly enough, also a snuggler.

Addictions: Other than formula, of course…

Wyatt: Sweet potatoes and yams

Zander: Avocado

Stand-out features: No, they’re not identical. (And to the people who ask, “Are you sure?”  Yes. I’m sure.)

Wyatt: Babbling, first to get teeth, and snuggability.

Zander: Strength and intensity. Plus that smile he’ll flash at you for merely looking at him.

Fun fact: Combined, Wyatt and Zander weighed a whoppin’ 15 pounds at birth. I carried them to 38 weeks, 4 days, and my water broke an hour before I was scheduled to go in for my c-section. Also… their nicknames are Wy and Z. We thought that was pretty funny, given that they’re our last two. (And by last, we mean last: We’re both *ahem* “taken care of.”)

Meet Clint.

My superhero.

The man who told me specifically not to post this picture anywhere, but it’s just too darn funny, so I couldn’t resist…

Age: >29

Personality: Shy on the outset, knee-slappingly hilarious once you get to know him.

Addictions: Coffee and sports (Go SEAHAWKS, cuh-kaw!)

Stand-out feature: Those purdy blue eyes all of our kids inherited.

Best known for: Making up words. My favorite is “suspicuous” which means “suspiciously conspicuous” according to him.

And finally, your Silly Mom Thoughts author, Me.

Lindsay.

Maddox (except that’s my penname ‘cuz I don’t want you people stalking me).

(I get a black and white photo ‘cuz I wanna.)

Age: 27

Personality: Rarely serious.

Addictions: Coffee, the internet, did I already say “coffee?,” and… um… coffee. (I like my husband too. He’s pretty neat. And the kids are alright I guess.)

Stand-out feature: Brown eyes that none of my kids got. I’m still bitter about it.

Best known for: Writing. If you come in contact with me, you may end up in my blog. Fair warning!

There you have it.
Us.
There you have us. (That cannot be grammatically correct.)

Enjoy Silly Mom Thoughts. Glad you stopped by!

    And here I thought Tiger Lily’s addictions were to UNFOs (Unidentifiable Non-Food Objects) and, of course, the really disturbing INFOs (Identifiable Non-Food Objects). She really likes real food too? :-)

    Lindsay, you have a beautiful family! Your kids are so cute. Clints a cool guy. Twins are awesome. Having twins is a unique experience. Our twins are lovable yet are adding to my gray hair count.
