Uh...this isn't what it looks like mom. *no babies were harmed in the making of this photo.
We've been in our new house for 3 months now and we finally just discovered the park by our house. It's called the Walkto park. (Dubbed by Annaliese...becasue it's close enough to Walk to.) All parks have a nickname. Our favorite parks: Slide Park, Digging park and now Walkto Park.

Annaliese works part time as a Valet downtown. The tips are better if you dress cute.

We built a fort in Annaliese's room, popped popcorn and had storytime in the fort for FHE. (The baby went to town on the popcorn. I couldn't bite off the big kernals fast enough to give her tiny pieces.) And mental note for the future: Snack size bags of popcorn only take 1 minute to cook, NOT three minutes. Our house still smells like a burnt popcorn bomb went off. |

I'm a little over the top with the matching outfits. I can't stop myself. Jonathan wouldn't wear his pink animal print furry vest. He ruins everything. |

Evening routine. And for the record, I also stand on the sink when I brush my teeth. |

 My lastest layout for Misty Cato at www.sweetshoppedesigns.com (Kjersti, what should I change?)
Hey guys, In adjusting my "friends" list so I could see my family's photos, I inadvertently ended up blocking people. I didn't realize it blocked people. I was just trying to organize, sorry about that, it's fixed now. I was born before 1985 so I have no idea how to use the internet. |

I'm trying to change Spike's Image. A Kinder Gentler Spike.
Spike and Annaliese didn't hit it off right away. Whenver I pulled him out and turned him on she'd cry and scream, "Turn it off!! Turn it off!!" She wanted me to take him back to the store. "Get rid of him!" Well we just kept him behind the couch and for the last week she's been pulling him out to play with the other little dinosaurs. He can NOT be turned on, but she'll pick him up (just barely, cause he's pretty big) and carry him around. Today he was eating different toys. One of them was the patsey.
Look - I lasted another day. It's a miracle. |

Craigslist is not just for underground prostitution.
Goodbye Big Green Beast! You will not be missed.
The photo I should have gotten today was Annaliese wearing Madelyn's pants. Jonathan dressed the kids. I didn't realize the tiny pants until we were in the car and the legs of her pants went up to just below her knees. In Costco she was sitting in the cart and I noticed her ENTIRE BUM was hanging out cause the pants were just too small. (That was a lot to ask of the pants.) My friend Diana was laughing hysterically. I did my best to hike them up but I had to finally put my purse up against her butt, so she would stop mooning the store. Then in the check out line I noticed people laughing, so I looked up again and she was bearing her bum to the crowd. One last hike and then we headed home to sort the laundry better.
This is probably my last entry. I'm surprised I hung on this long. |

 There is a cement slide at our local park. It is so much fun! This is a new friend Annaliese just made about 30 seconds before. They were going down side by side then Annaliese turned and started clinging to her.
Jonathan had to work in the morning and when he walked in the door the house was all quiet. I said, "Wow, it's finally quiet. It's been crazy all morning.." Then it me...it's quiet. ( Oh crap! It's quiet!!! ) |

Shooting from the hip. Who needs a view finder!? We're at Red Robin for dinner. Her favorite place because of the free balloon. It's also known as Harry Houssins. Any restaurant is known as Harry Houssins. Which there is a back story for. She started quoting movies when she was two. One of the first movies she quoted was "Monsters Inc." The part where Michael "Sowski" and his girlfriend are talking about going somewhere special for her birthday. Annaliese's version of it was like this: "Mommy are we going to go somewhere special tonight?" I said, "yes" and then she said, "A Harry Houssins?" At which point I realized she was quoting from a movie. |

She dropped a penny in the fountain and turned around and ran to me. In the shot she is yelling to me, "I wished for DISNEYLAND!!" |

It fits!! We are heading to the snow in a few weeks here. We're going to spend a few days at Jonathan's Boss's Cabin. I purchased snow gear for Annaliese for Christmas, but realized I needed something for this one. It's tricky finding snow gear in areas where it doesn't snow. It's a seasonal thing. I was totally shocked when the Target where we just moved to carried a few snow suits around Christmas time. They're all gone now. The sports shops are clearancing out everything as far as kids snow gear (until next season). There are only a handful of snow gloves left for the little ones, and didn't have any left in Annaliese's size. I came across this jacket in a bin from when Annaliese was 18 months old. Totally forgot about it. It's a little big, but close enough. I can't wait! We'll ready for the snow!! |
