The Things They Say



Caymber: "I am going to get married."


Dad: "Not yet, I hope."


Caymber: "Not yet, I have to find someone to match you."

Hide and Snap

What happens....


...when your mom is ....


...always taking pictures?







You run and hide!




I thought it was just a simple game of hide and snap. Don't worry, I am seeking help! Photographers Anonymous here I come!

Commercial Free?

I thought I was doing so well.



I thought I was raising them right.



Some moms want to keep their children from processed foods,
I just want them to be commercial free.



I don't have a soap box on watching commercials, I just find them annoying.



I thought I was consistently pushing mute when commercials came on.



But, I was wrong. Here is proof. Here is A singing the song to the Safe Auto commercial.



New philosophy: Commercials are annoying, unless performed by my adorable 2yr old.

A Great Find

I found this at Sam's today. It is the kind of paper that they put on tables at restaurants.

I had an idea to spread this on our long dining table for school next year. I can put A and P on one end of the table to draw, while C and I work on school at the other end. It will make school more fun for C (you know, instead of just paper after paper), and hopefully entertain A and P.

I just thought you'd like this too. Thought you may want to try this even if you don't have other little ones to entertain. The roll of paper is only 17$. Enjoy!

My Little Irish Twins



Think you're seeing double?


Nope.


It's Piper's new haircut. She matches her (not much) bigger sis, Aylee.


I can only get away with this for a while. It won't be long till they won't want to match at all.








So, here is one more adorable pic of Pixie Piper and her new look.

She Was There


She was there from the beginning. The first purchase we ever made as a couple. She was going to be practice for the future six. Adorable and cuddly, we were in love.


She was there, in the middle of all the other pups, laying calmly. How deceiving this was. After taking her home we learned what a free spirit she was.


She was there a few months later at our wedding. Well, not at the church, but waiting at home (chewing on everything she shouldn't) till we returned.


She was there to eat us out of house and home. She ate everything from birth control pills to sheet rock.


She was there as each girl was born. She never minded if a toddler pulled up on her as they learned to stand. She was patient as each learned she was not a horse to be ridden. She must have loved dress up, because she wore many costumes and bows over the years.


She was there on the front porch every time she ran away. This dog loved to run away. She was fast and could not be caught. She would not come back no matter how many times you called. But, give it ten minutes and she would be back on the front porch waiting for us to open the door and let her back in. Boy was this dog a pain some times.


She was there, surrounded by four teary eyed little girls, waiting for all of us to get to say good-bye.


She was there for thirteen years. Now she's gone. She will be missed.
