What the heck is going on here? I have to go feed my children dinner before CPS comes to pick them up due to malnutrition but I couldn’t resist posting this picture b/c I’m sure Patty REALLY wants to see it.  Who are they you may ask?????  Well the blondie and the brunette (in the blue shirt) are the gorgeous daughters of a really good friend who also happens to be my neighbor.  She’s almost as good of a neighbor as Michelle but she doesn’t feed me nearly as well (or as often) and I absolutely hold that against her.  The other beauty would have been my neighbor if I had moved here sooner but her family up and left the neighborhood for California (oh yeah – like it’s so much nicer there or something, WHATEVERRRRRRRR).    Anyway, I just love this pic and I wanted to share it.  xoxo

that’s what Little Ri said after we left the doctor’s office today.  Getting 3 shots in one day seems like cruel and unusual punishment to me but who said parenting was all fun and games?  She took it like a champ at the time although since then she has developed quite a limp on her left leg which is really bizarre since she got the shots in her left arm and right leg but who knows what they really put in those shots anyway.  I asked her if she was suffering from leftlimpositis and she said “yes” through small tears and declared that another icecream sandwich might help it go away.  Live it up Little Bunny b/c tomorrow it’s back to life as normal.  (that means she’ll only squeeze 1 icecream sandwich out of me – I’m such a pushover)

I love the sweetness of this photos with the 3 kids looking on in the back (they are ALWAYS looking, aren’t they?!!?!??!).  Seriously though, it’s just a nice reminder to take care of your relationship.  It’s easy to put it on the backburner with all of the madness of kids, jobs, dirty houses, etc…………………………so if you haven’t already – take the time to hold hands the next chance you get.  Those little details are so easily forgotten over time (I’ve been married for all of 6 years so I have no excuse). 

She cracks me up on a daily basis and she’s such a good sport!!!!!  We I had fun playing around with these shots today.  She so does not look like a newly-turned 4 year old here, it scares me how grown-up she looks. 

I promise that I won’t post any more vacation pictures since you must be bored out of your mind by now but I just had to throw in these last few (ok maybe there’s more than a few but noone is forcing you to look at them although I sure do appreciate those who do look).  My comment box gets lonely when it’s empty!!!

FINALLY a picture of my kiddos together.  It doesn’t even bother me that Rowan looks a little soft (okay it really does bother me but you can’t have everything and it’s a picture of them together so I’m keeping it)!

watermelon in the summer rocks!                           a grainy picture for a sandy boyI want her eyelashesRiley and her handsome Daddy (and yes, I’m hoping I’ll get a backrub if I call him handsome). 

finally a picture of my little man since I was beginning to wonder if he went with us.  I hope he doesn’t hold it against me that I was too lazy to chase after him for pictures.  It’s hard to run and take pics with a Pina Colada in your hand!

  one of my favorite things to do on the beachthis one just cracks me up. I think Darrin may like Kevin a little too much!!!

if you made it this far then thanks for looking and no nasty comments about me posting too many pictures of my kids. Afterall, they are the reason for this blog in the first place!
