ps...if you skip the first page it won't take so long to load. ...then you can go back to it.
pss...Yes, every single word came directly from Luke's mouth. I just transcribed. :) He also drew all the pictures and picked the papers and embellishments I used. He was quite particular about it too!

Proof! They DO like eachother sometimes!!!







Ami..."reading" the phonebook.
Just a sweet little Daddy Daughter moment I managed to catch at Luke's Kindergarten Awards


Cookie batter anyone?

Yes, this is how Ana passes the time. Those are hairbows clipped all the way around her dress.

For Sale

Yesterday we met with our super-fantastic amazing realtor, Brenda. It's official. Our little 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, with granite, and wood floor, house is on the market. This little slice of heaven we've put our heart and souls into is up for grabs to the highest (or first) bidder. This place where "love is spoken" (sometimes harshly) and where there is "beauty all around" (atleast on Tuesdays when I decide to do the dishes and put the laundry away) is ready to be passed on to a family with fewer children and more money. ...and all for the astounding price of $65,000. Ouch! Yeah, that's only $155,000 less than what we bought it for. Nice, huh? So, I'm just sending this out into the cosmic void. If anyone wants a sweet little cottage...it's ready for you.

Jared's Father's Day Brag Book-w/ new link

I made this little 5"x5" brag book for Jared to take to work with him. It was meant to be a Father's Day gift but he found it and refused to let me take it from him. SO...now it's at it's new home at Jared's place of employment.

What's Best about Being a Mom?

  • Kisses from either big smoochy puckered lips or from tiny teeth because he/she is laughing or smiling so big they can't get their lips together.
  • Parades of small children lined up like little ants (all adorned in feather boas, plastic jewels, sandpail hats, underpants, and nothing else) all in honor of she who rescued the ball that became perilously stranded under the sofa.
  • A prized sticker pulled with tiny fingers from her own favorite sundress and given as a thank you for helping with violin practice.
  • A good pair of comfortable jeans and a great tee and the excuse of 4 kids to wear them (spew-stained and all) every day.
  • Three sets of tiny piggies painted a gorgeous shade of "Jack Pot Pink" with "Lilac Mist" sparkles spread liberally on top and then a sad attempt to contain the wiggles for two minutes so said polish doesn't smudge. ...and then tryng to contain my own giggles and anxiety as my pedicure commenses fulfillment by the very same wiggly toed creatures.
  • The opportunity to visit a "professional" milinary shop for a very special hat adorned in all manner of florals and feathers and thereafter to be told, "der, Mommy, now you beauuuuufow!"
  • The challenge of combining three ponytail holders and four very different bows into one hairstyle in order to make one very particular client happy.
  • Trying to explain to Awaeya (Olivia) that chocolate milk is not to be had without the milk (to no avail...of course).
  • The ability to bake cookies at leisure under the guise of "teaching my children how to cook".

etc...etc...etc...
