Childhood

Today was such a nice day that Blake decided to take Mike to the park.

Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice.

Every father should also remember that one day his son will probably become more talented than him.

In Mike's case, that day was last week.

Stirring up somethin' sweet

Let me introduce you to my sister Jana AKA barbie.
This B doll has it all! She has the hair, the eyes, the smile, the skin, and even the va-va vooms....




Today is her birthday. So here is my little tribute to my much older sister. (She may look much younger than me but she is really much, much older than me).
The next two pictures were taken not too long ago ( in her 30's with 5 kidlets might I add)

She could be mistaken for a teenager!


This lovely lady is one of my favorite people ever! She is loving and understanding and most importantly FUNNNNNNY, aaaaaaaaand for some reason really enjoys taking pictures like this:

She always brings a smile into the room. You can't help but love this girl. Happy Birthday Jana!

Elephant Boy

~I like to call him Peanut, but he refers to himself as Elephant.

~I love that Blake has created nicknames for us.

Dad is Horsey

Mom is mommy monster (I am very flattered)

and Blake is Elephant.

~I love going to the park with him (I could push him on the swing for hours)

~I love to watch him stand on his very tippy toes to wash his hands, especially in his underpants.

~I love how everything he picks up becomes an airplane

~I love that my kisses still make it all better.

~I love that he is deathly afraid of flies but does not hesitate to squish a spider with his bare hands.

~I love that he asks why??? for EVERYthing.

~I love that he wants an egg salad sandwich for lunch everyday.

~He amuses me with all his made up songs that he sings to me.

~And of course, he is the most perfect angel when he sleeps.

The best gifts in life are our children!
