I have ouchies.

Yesterday, we did yard work ALL DAY LONG. ALL DAY. LONG. VERY LONG. This morning, the wierdest thing happened. My ankles wouldn't work. They really wouldn't work. There was no bending. At all. Has that ever happened to you? It's the strangest feeling. I was trying to walk down our stairs gracefully and of course, if you know me well, this is the kind of pain that is ridiculously funny to me. Hey, it's either laugh...or cry.

Just a quick note...

Just wanted to let you know that we are a family that welcomes all species, in this galaxy...and beyond. Oh...and all our neighbors in a 3 block radius know this as well. Thank you so much Jackson.

Weekend of Family Fun.

We had a great weekend with Joe's brother and his kids coming for a visit. The little ones are all the same ages and have so much fun together. Noelle is getting so big and LOVES getting her picture taken, so Aunt Laura had so much fun with her.

Jackson shows his uncle 'how it's done'. Yes, my fingers were twitching, but I held myself back.
This is a picture of the ceremonial releasing of the Jello mold. It's a big deal in this family. All the kids want to hear the "schlufffttt" noise, then off they go.
There was lots of dress up moments. Lily WAS having fun, she's just sick of her mother jamming a camera in her face.

Oh, and let's not forget, lots of TWIRLING!

Good buddies....

Goofballs. It's in the genes.

Pigtail Girl.

Aunt Laura (Babysitter Extraordinaire).

This is who I got to watch on Tuesday. Let me tell you, it was hard work. Not. He is such a sweet boy. He's growing up so much and has his own sweet little personality. I think he has what I call, "old man" looks and expressions on his face. I think he knows much more than we give him credit for. He's such a sweet boy. I love him.

Play Outside Day!
