Cattle rustler or bounty hunter?

"The Gray Outfit"

My mom sent me a little gray long-john looking suit for Elsa when she was born. It was/is one of my favorites.

This is Elsa wearing it when she was a couple of months old. And this is Adele, at six weeks. Complete with hat. Uh...I don't think this was her favorite one though.
And this is Benjamin wearing it. We machoed it up a bit for him, and as we all know, nothing says macho like a blue rhino.

Chillaxing

Oh don't worry, she asked first. Seriously, she held up Dad's phone, and pointed at the swing, and I said "Oh sure" so she crawled in and stared up her game. She also turned on the music and lights, cause that's the only way to swing.

That's My Boy

He never sits anywhere for more than 10 minutes without having a meltdown unless you pick him up and walk around with him. So, I was more than ecstatic when he was sitting still for more than an hour without crying. On the contrary, he was quite happy.


That, in itself, is reason enough to be happy. But it's what made him happy for so long that made me so proud.


That's right! He was happy watching the Broncos crush the Chiefs.

That's my boy!!!

Slumber Party

The other night, Elsa got into Adele's crib with her. "The nerve of some people," declared Adele, and she squealed and pushed on Elsa with all her might trying to throw her out. I was surprised, Adele is awfully social so I thought she would enjoy the company. I guess the only thing she is more than social is territorial.

I told disappointed Elsa that they could have a slumber party in the spare room that weekend, and me being a woman of my word (and Elsa never forgetting ANYTHING EVER) I let them pull out the sleeping bags last Friday night. This was how I found them about an hour after bed time:

And this is how I found them early the next morning:

Then, later, I cleaned the house, cross my heart and swear it!

Mr. Mom

One of the many things Ry does that I love is get up early weekend mornings and keep the kids happy (as happy as possible) for an hour or two while I catch up on sleep. (I do deserve it after all.)

This is what I came downstairs to this morning. It would be hard for me to pick which of these people I am most in love with.

Guy Smiley (More or Less)

On the rare occasion when his belly is both full and calm, this is his usual reaction.

P.S. There is nothing wrong with Tinker Bell for boys so shut-up!

Intense moment in the game!







Well He Agrees With Adele! Elsa is the MOST HILARIOUS PERSON OF ALL TIME!!!!
