I swear...

I have some great pictures and video, but in my frantic "spring cleaning" that I engaged in the last few days...I have lost the cord to upload the pictures! Aargh!

And I have really fun video of the twins riding their first bikes! (Imagine, if you will, pajamas and fuzzy bear slippers, and first bike ride)

Back to hunting down that cord!

Happy, but tired!

I am still recovering...but Santa DID bring me a camera! After I find homes for the new toys I will dish all about it!

Should I be concerned?

That Jack begs for me to play this for him over....and over....and over?

Goodbye Lilly

My sweet kitten, who I thought was inside, was hit by a car Friday night. Hard explaining it to the twins... Very sad.

REALLY!!!??

Hey, I am all for a big family... as soon as the twins start kindergarten, I plan on jumping Paul. But REALLY? 18? Ouch. And this one was a C-section. hmmm... I thought this baby would have shot out like a champ! No offence...Really...

Santa pictures!

A friend of mine had a Holiday Open House with the best Santa ever!

(and an awesome photographer)

J would only lean in with me holding him. Great giggle face!

From the start, T is enchanted.

Watch the following pictures...Work the cuteness girly girl...Work it!

Isn't that just the cutest thang evah???
(As Grandmama Parker would have said!)

The only way J would sit on Santa's lap...This picture cracks me up so much! I almost wish I hadn't already sent out my Christmas Cards!

So all day...

I was so irritated with the white rock marathon. We live on the lake, and so no getting in or out without a huge mess. We were cursing everyone one, from the runners to the organizers... until I saw this... I am so sorry for my impatience today.

Please pray or her family.

Couldn't resist...

So I opened an Etsy store.

Tutu

I made a tutu and princess fairy wand for T for her birthday.

The fairy wand...
The tutu


T hiding while wearing both.
My Mom thinks I should make them, and sell them. What do y'all think? Would any of you buy a set if you saw it?

Ya' know the economy is in a slump...

when the guy driving the Aston Martin is delivering Pizza's!

Sharing the savings

Party

Well, I have not posted about the family birthday party because I have been waiting on pictures!
All went well, and the tutu and "super J" cape were a big hit! Hopefully, later today I will have some pictures for ya'll!
