A few things about Katie:

she knows all the words to every song on the radio--she's a sponge!

she's a competitive dancer.

she can make herself belch while saying her ABC's.

she has a contagious laugh.

she's LOVES her dad to the max.

she's just like her mom....improved with danicing abilities!

Slug.bug-no slug backs!

When I think of Lora and Jimmy, I think of the good ol' slug.bug game!  They use to take it so seriously.  It was THEIR thing..their rules (mostly made up, I might add).  They are a good team.

Thanks for stopping by and almost making me pee my pants today...from laughter of course!  I love you guys.

Everything Jimmy!

He's your typical 15 year old...likes to sleep, can text faster than i can type, thinks he's too cool to smile, wears hoodies everyday, rolls his eyes often and avoids most adult contact!

He's also an awesome son, phenomenal brother, a creative soul and actually a very smart and hilarious young man!

Thanks for visiting with me today Jimmy...i think I owe you a soda!

The sounds of a snow day...

99% of my day...

"he keeps hitting me!"

"stooooop!"

"we're hungry."

"put a movie on for us"

"he's cheating!"

"stop hitting me."

"we're thirsty."

"mooooooommm!"

1% of my day...

"mom  you're pretty."

"we love you."

After hearing that, I don't even remember the other 99%.  Yes, I know it was a ploy to skip some naps...but it worked and i could never hear it enough.  I'm a sucker!

Girl's night!

Just saw this movie trailer and I can't wait for the movie to hit the theaters.  It looks adorable and there's quite a potpourri of incredible talent...check it out here--penelope

Hope you like the new banner.  I found the candy heart image and it cracked me up.  Anyone who really knows me can tell you I tend to talk like a sailor.  Not an attractive habit I know, but for right now in my life a little bit of cussing just feels so good!  Now go check out the @!$%#  movie trailer!

Tate is 6 and I'm still alive!

I can't believe my sweet Tate is 6...and I can't believe I survived a birthday party in my house with 16 kiddos.  I asked Tate what he wanted to do for his party and all he wanted was to have his friends over and play his Wii.  In a panic, I begged to figure something else out.  However, in true Tate fashion, he kept his mind on what he wanted...a party at home with his friends and the Wii!  What an interesting afternoon it was.  Nobody prepared me for the fact that when boys get together...wrestling mania will ensue!  As I checked on the boys, I was tripped twice and body-slammed three times!   Is this normal?  I’m already thinking of a game plan for next year…

Here are some images from the event—remember I had the camera shakes from being surrounded by 16 kids who were buzzing with sugar.

Will work for Starbucks Coffee!

So far in 2008 I have grossed two grande breve lattes and a Starbucks gift card!!!    Do people know what drives me or what?  Here's little Miss Mia--such a serious gal that's got a mind of her own!  I think she might get that from her mom.  She was quite the crack up that she wouldn't smile too much during our little shoot.  As we were leaving though--she decided to grin and wave!  Just my luck. 

I'm still learning and this past month I've been focusing on leaving the camera in manual mode...so hard sometimes when I get flustered!  Hope you enjoy!  Thank you Miss Mia!
