still can't find the car keys...

just hangin' out at home...

stuck at home

a key finder for mother's day is what i'm hoping for. or perhaps a nice hook to hang them on.

first rice crispy treat

she was hesitant to take a bite, but it turned out to be a big hit. now i have to learn how to make them... (you'd think i'd be more domestic since i've been home for 2 1/2 years now. but no.)

women of faith

2009 convention. that's steven curtis chapman that you can't really see on the jumbo tron. fav quote of the weekend... "adjust to changing times, but cling to unchanging principles" (is that right mom? for some reason it sounds wrong) anyway, you get the picture.

do rag

a look we've been sporting a lot lately.

i know i was meant to live in a musical

first off..look at me posting a video! (it only took 10mins to figure out how) i'm so high tech. second, when i was a kid i auditioned for a kid roll in RV's musical. i sang sound of music's doe rae me, and had my sister's be backup dancers. no lie! while stocking my favorite blogs this morning, i came across this video. it totally took me back... enjoy!

sleeping beauty's

i use to think it was funny that my parents always took pictures of us when we were sleeping...now i totally get it.

hopefully the funny baby will distract from the the messy house*

the girl is ecstatic to have graham crackers. she does the same crinkled nose smile that sid use to do, so cute.

springy door stoppers are a fun toy

untill they get broke off...

rain rain .... come back!

the girls have been wearing their rain coats a lot lately...sadly sidney woke up this morning and there weren't any puddles for her to jump in. (mommy was happy to see sunshine though.) i think she thought if she put on her coat and boots, that would make rain.

good chocolate, good family, good times happy easter!

new shoes

my prayer for her...

that she will always see herself as beautiful, just as she does now...

judy and liza up for sale

"oh sid." so i walked into this little girls room during her nap...and she had pulled her rocking chair over to the shelf, stepped up, grabbed the fish food, and proceeded to spill it all over her bed. the whole can dumped onto her bed! i was so mad and about *this* close to flushing the fish down the porcelain grave just to be done with em. (it isn't the first time this has happened)

fyi - if you want the fish, you'll have to buy your own fish food.

weeeee!

we decided to skip the afternoon naps and play instead today. kinz would have stayed on the swing until dinner if i let her. as for sid, well she was happy to play with sticks and dirt...
