random photos from now on.....

My point and shoot broke a few weeks ago , I won't have too many family photos for a while. I try not to use my work camera for fun because I could break it and I need it to make $$$$.

Here are some pics with my work camera..some things are just too cute to pass up....

Guess who just turned one year old ??!!!!

Happy Birthday, the opera version. Kendall really did not know what to think.

The birthday girls, Kendall and her mommy. Her birthday is today too!!

Anna's 9 month portrait

I shot all of my kids 3, 6, 9 and 12 months portraits. I still have not ordered any of Anna's. She turns 4.5 tomorrow!! I need to get on it.

This is her 9 month, her best picture from the whole first year. I just found the stash of proofs
and negatives while cleaning. This is picture of a picture. No one has ever seen it before!

Are you wishing you had bought a few more boxes of thin mints??

Are you craving some right now??? Make these.

I made these back in December to take to my Christmas cookie exchange party that my n-hood has every year.
They will cure your thin mint cravings, yummy!!!

Something you would only hear in a house with 2 kinds of kids, one with a speech delay and the other one on a laxative for her functional constipation:

"mommy, the potty is floyded."

John is FINALLY on the stage!!!


Ever since I took John with me to see the Local production of The Wizard of Oz when he was 6 he has wanted to be on the stage.....to do something... anything. He was amazed by the whole acting on a stage thing. So I told him, the next time they have kids in a play I would take him to audition.

So this week, John gets to be on the stage EIGHT times (3 dress rehearsals and 5 shows)!! He is one of the many Oompa Loompas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Last night was the first show, I asked him if he still wants to do this 4 more times (sometimes he looks a little bored on the stage) he said YES!!

Here are a few pics.......

I think his favorite part is the curtain call.

A few from our quick tip to TENN. I might share more later.

In the car.....

Anna: "Mommy, do you know how to spell everything??"

A few seconds go by because I start thinking about how bad my spelling is....... and how am I going to answer this? and that Daddy is a good speller.

Anna: "MOMMY!! Do you know how to spell everything????"

me: "well no, not EVERYthing."

Anna: "no the word, EVERYTHING"

me: "well, yeah, E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G"

Anna: "see Mommy, You do know how to spell everything"

happy birthday to me!
