Family Picture

We had our pictures taken for the church directory.

It was about a month after we had just had our other family pictures taken, so I didn’t spend too much time worrying over whether they would be good or not.

Plus, our family is growing in a few months and we’ll need a new one anyway.

Awkward Family Photo

 

So when I saw this, I practically yelled at the lady to stop as we were viewing the pictures.

I ordered it.  A full 8×10.

I LOVE it.  Love it.  It makes me smile and laugh even when I am not looking at it.

I just snapped this shot of it with my phone to share, but I am going to proudly display this in my home until Parker tells me otherwise.

I hope he’s at least 40 before it bugs him. :)

Shark Day

“Mom, are sharks teeth like triangles?”

“Yes.”

“Mom, are they sharp triangles?”

“Yes.”

“Thanks.”

“You bet sweety.”

Ten minutes later.

“Mom, look!”

“I’m a shark!”

Now Thats a Big Sunflower

I couldn’t resist sharing a few pictures from our weekend.

My niece Inga came to visit.

Her and her mom (my sister) and her grandma (my mom) came to the cities for a girls/birthday/school shopping weekend.

They came over a bit later and we made red velvet cupcakes and let the kids decorate them any way they wanted.

Then I decorated one just the way I wanted.  And then looked at it.

Cause I am trying not to eat gluten.

And those were not gluten free.

The only thing they were free of was healthiness.

Dear sister posing with the sunflowers that run the edge of our garden.  She wears fun colors.

I sometimes try to liven up my black wardrobe with a splash of white.

I am a rebel.

Seriously though, our sunflowers are huge.  At least 15 feet tall.

Not sure why.

But I like lookin at em.

Did you do anything fun this weekend?

Poor Parker got cut off! :(

Audrey is actually covered in petroleum jelly in this shot… she thought it would be fun to wipe it all over herself.

And her bed.

And the carpet.

I wanted to put together a well written, thoughtful, and informative post today.  But soon realized that I was completely incapable. Some things that have happened at our house today: Audrey found a full tube of petroleum jelly and managed to lather it over her entire body. Parker used a marker to draw on [...] Read more »
