You Wanted It.

Usually I'm the ONLY one in the family that updates my blog. Two weddings made us tired of taking pictures so I haven't had any to post. You asked for an update so here's a picture for you. I found it while I was sorting through pictures to make into my photo book...(thanks Oprah and Snapfish).

The Head of our Household

p.s. thanks for coming to visit us, Maryann! you spoiled us! can't wait to get together again at Christmas.

Happy Halloween

For some reason my pictures are posting in reverse order so.... Here is Andrew after Trunk or Treat. Can you see his sticky shiny cheek? He fell asleep eating a jolly rancher.

Brandon started out sleeping sitting up but ended up falling over. After coming down from their sugar high, my little guys were exhausted.

Andrew looked so cute waddling after Brandon in the parking lot. Every once in a while I realize how tiny that little turtle is....

Not the best picture but its hard to catch these two holding still for a second. This is turtle Andrew with his buddy, monster Kaydon.

Frog and Turtle

Is it really that hard to look at the camera?

Andrew wasn't very happy.

Beauty and the Beast?

Mom was too creative for us to dress like Belle and the Beast...so, of course, we were furniture! I was the dresser, Angela the clock, Steven the little cup, and Kristine was the candlestick. We always won prizes with our crazy costumes. Steven is holding his prize from that year...I think it was a Barney piggy bank.

Zorro

Halloween Picnic

Can you believe we put up with Mom's crazy costume ideas?
