Taking After Dad

I just ran into the kitchen a few minutes ago, and noticed THIS in the living room.
Ric asleep on the couch (he’s even sleeping through the golf!) and Ryan passed out on the floor. This kid can just go to sleep anywhere!
But that’s not the funniest part, look at what Ryan has in his hand! [...]

Happy Father’s Day Tie!

Do you LOVE this? A few weeks ago, the Primary asked for old ties so the kids could make a special project for Father’s Day.
This is the result. First, get past how handsome my sexy hubby is in his new “readers” (heh) and TAKE.A.LOOK.AT.THAT.TIE!
Ryan carefully glued all the feathers, letters, sequins, and especially googly eyes [...]

Piggie Tails!

How cute is this?
Somehow, I managed to get pig tails into Megan’s hair today. They only lasted about 10 minutes though. Ryan decided to wrestle with her and they came out.
Good thing I got this picture first! I LOVE that she’s hiding her eyes!

Frosting Overdose

Just a random picture from Saturday.
If you look closely, you can see an empty bowl of pink frosting. Ryan just happened to pass out on the floor after cleaning out the bowl.
It’s just too funny not to share! hehe

Eeeeeeek!!!

Good thing I’m not totally squeamish! We all came in from mowing the lawn and playing outside when I was pulling ice-cream sandwiches out of the freezer for the kids when Ryan said, “Mommy, there’s a mouse!”
Sure enough, ChiChi had been outside and brought in her latest catch. I had to herd the kids away [...]

Happy Hoo Hoo Megan!

We just returned from Megan’s 2-year visit with the pediatrician. She weighs 26 pounds and is 34 inches tall! Just right!
Here you go – highlights of Megan’s party!
The Birthday Girl! Happy Hoo Hoo Megan! (That’s what she says when we say “Happy Birthday” to anyone!)

So I have to brag a little about the cupcakes I [...]
