you know it's a great day when.....

.....your husband sends you an e-mail that says this: "I don’t know what’s been going on lately but I keep finding diaper wipes in my clothes. Just found one in my shirt"

then follows up with this e-mail a couple of minutes later: "I know right…its funny – they stick in something and I usually find them before I’m wearing them but found this one before lunch and couldn’t pull it out till now"

wonder who the culprit is.
couldn't be the kid who put a whole box of tissues into my brand new washing machine a few months ago.

happy monday everyone!

pictures galore -

my dear little boy had his first haircut last week. everyday he's get this big 'ol knot on the back of his head from looking and moving around so much. so, we shaved his beautiful hair off.


before.....


....and after.
it's funny how a haircut makes little kids look so much older.


just chillin'


two peas in a pod? nope to kids in a playpen.
much happier.

every 2 years we have a family reunion with my mom's side of the family. I LOVE these reunions - but i do wish they were longer and we could all sit and chat and catch up all day long. but having little kids running around makes it hard to sit for very long.


D sportin' her bandana


my mom is by far the best hula-hooper around. she amazes me with this talent.
i can't even get a hula hoop to stay on my hips - which is funny cause i have hips and she doesn't.


slurpee break

thanks to the cousins (you know who you are) for planning such an awesome reunion. see you in 2!

chew toys -

so, believe it or not, our house - and everything in it - is becoming one giant chew toy.
at first i thought it was just the dog doing the chewing.
but, as the following pictures show - someone else is having a hayday with the furniture.





i think that about sums up this post.

is anyone out there?

i know someone is out there - but no one ever leaves comments.
and that's o.k.
i just hope you all enjoy my stories.
it's kind of like a journal for me.



this little boy has stolen my heart.
but watch out for him - i won't be surprised if he starts walking in a few days.


happy birthday to this little one - she is a mover and a shaker, too.


just checking things out - really up close and personal.


we went to a parade this weekend for these two - they were the Grand Marshals of the parade.


this is his favorite spot.
usually he sits on the top stair and watches what goes on around him.
funny dog.
