Puzzles with Poppy... and Nanny too!

Nanny and Poppy joined us for dinner this evening. And, they came bearing gifts! New puzzles!

David and I love it when they invite us to the Montereau for fancy dinners, so it was high time we invited them over. Of course, no fancy food or quiet conversation took place tonite, just tacos, enchilladas... and some loco ninos on the side!

Happy Easter...

What a GREAT day to take Easter Pictures!

Traveling thru a blizzard to get some pics with a bunny is worth it, right?

What's for lunch?

Play dates with good friends are so much fun! Especially when your kids love their kids, and you love the other Mommy!
Today we just hung out with the Kriegs, made pizzas, and laughed at our babies!


What's for lunch Leah?














Oh Dear! Anna that's NOT lunch!


















(Dear Angela, Thanks for the fake roach for Devon's birthday!)

Coney Criminal

March 23, 2009

Jenks, OK (AP) -- Three innocent victims (seen below) were part of an elaborate brainwashing scheme. The man responsible for this travesty is currently on home arrest and seeking treatment for a severe case of O.C.D. (Obsessive Coney Devotion).





























Twins?

Same shirt, different gals














Ella 18 months
Leah Claire 11 months..... it really is the same shirt - old and faded now, but still somewhat orange?

Lovin' life


















Can't you just hear the little squeal of baby laughter right now?
Leah is such a joy! Ohh, and her hair.... she rubbed mac'n'cheese all over her head at dinner.... thank goodness it's not "fly" weather yet!

Devon's Party

We had been praying for good weather over Spring Break - and what a beautiful day we were given for Devon's 3rd birthday party!
We played at the park, ate cupcakes, and then headed back over to the house for a rockin' dance party..... black light, disco ball, and strobe light included! Sorry no pics of the garage disco... I was too busy dancin'.

Devon's "S" portraits

I bit the bullet and went back to THE portrait studio that I was so disappointed with over the holidays.

For those of you who read the blog, you know which studio I'm talking about, let's just call it "S" from here on out. (I am refraining from using the name due to some "hate" comments that surfaced.) So, "Why in the heck would you go back there?" Well my friends, it's all about value. Or in other words, I'm cheap! I can purchase an 8x10, 2 5x7s, and 8 wallets all for only $9.99. Now that's a deal. And I'm all about deals these days. Although, I must admit, I felt a wee bit naughty after shunning "S" and then returning only for a "cheap" thrill.

Now, I didn't go back to the "S" that is located at the Mall, but instead went all the way to the "S" across town. I was a little scared that my name would pull up a big black "X." But to my surprise, the manager had no idea who I was. No costume or alias needed, I was an incognito disgruntled customer.

The photo session for Devon went wonderful, and to my surprise after small talk with the manager she asked me if I would be interested in being an assistant manager at "S" portrait studio. Seriously?! Yes, seriously! Of course, I politely declined, but still, what a weird turn of events. Don't you think?

There must be a lesson in all of this, but I can't seem to figure out what it is.... Gripers get jobs, Mean people win, I just don't know. Needless to say, I will be returning to "S" for Leah's pictures next month.

My torn relationship with "S" is back on!

Circus Day

It's circus day! It's circus day!
Time for face-painting, cotton candy, popcorn, and elephant rides.
