Riding the Zip






More and more pics...

As the birthday day boy, Luke got to choose what we would do for the evening. He decided he wanted to go see the 3D movie Monsters Vs. Aliens. Here we are sporting out new glasses.

Luke asked for a zip line for his birthday. He even helped daddy put it up!!

Girls.. I love Girls

With the weather being so nice last week, I got out some of Charby's summer clothes. I left her bathing suit out when I retrieved some of her shorts. She found the bikini and wore it for 5 days straight. Thankfully for the most part, I could get her to put her regular clothes over the top of her bathing suit while we were out.. not so much when we got home. She would get in the shower and when she got out she put it back on before I realized what was going on. So after much proding I finally got her to take it off so that the bikini could have it's own bath. :) Not 5 minutes later she comes downstairs in a different bathing suit. This is not a battle I consider battling as long as she isn't wearing it to Kroger. Well last night she woke up in the middle of the night with a croupy cough. I am wondering if maybe I need to make sure she has more than just a bathing suit on around the house. This video is an attempt to get it off... a bargin if you will... I will take your picture if you will put your PJ's on... You will hear her croupy voice. I love little girls. I understand her brain and why she likes to look at herself in the mirror with her suit on. Watching her, I realize it isn't a natural reaction to turn around and see what the backside looks like. That must be a learned behavior. HAHA

70* Days


It is February 9, 2009 and it is 70* outside. Our first of many dinners out on the back porch.


Can you guess what was for dinner? Yes with hand rolled meatballs. One of the family favorites.. very labor intensive..filled with love.

As we were finishing up, a deer ran through the backyard to say hello. A perfect ending to a perfect dinner!!

Sleepy Time

So I gave up about two years ago, trying to get the boys to sleep in different beds. They refuse to have different bedrooms, but I thought two twin beds would give them each "space". They insist on sleeping in the same bed and even on the same "end". Tonight I go up to check on them before I go to bed and look what I found.
Charby who went to bed in her own bed, sneaks to the boys room, and crawls on top of their pillows. They never stop making me laugh!

Another Day..another story


Today Nick lost a tooth at school. We usually have a hard time remembering to put it under the pillow!! He said he would rather call Grammy and tell her, because she gives more money!!

Shelley got a haircut yesterday. I think it looks really good. I thought you might like to see it.


She doesn't like to have her clothes on... I think this is typical for most two year olds. She went and got her blanket, smoothed it out on the fireplace and sat for a pose. This will be the one we show future boys and she will HATE it. I think it is just about the most adorable thing I have ever seen! I love my children!!
