Wordless/Wordful Wednesday - little brother

Speaking of JC looking like the rest of the family... I dug up MD's 7 month photos, guess they might look alike, too!!

MD - King of the Wild Things

Who's Your Daddy?

IMG_9420

I guess that's never really been a question, but here is the definitive answer. Grandma is holding JC, next to a photo of Daddy at the same age. At least we know what he'll look like when he grows up.

And because the cuteness does not stop...

Not Me Monday - Teeth



Not Me! Monday is your chance to NOT admit all those things you DIDN'T do and live to tell about it. You can see more NOT ME! Monday at My Charming Kids.

Daddy and I DID NOT coerse our oldest child into pulling a tooth that had been asking for it all weekend.

IMG_9392

This tooth was NOT driving me crazy and sticking out of her face for weeks. I DID NOT feel sort of embarassed for her.

IMG_9436

Daddy DID NOT tie dental floss to it.

IMG_9433

We DID NOT ignore lots of tears.

IMG_9430

And certainly we DID NOT ignore the protests.

And when it wouldn't come out, we DID NOT make her walk around Sam's Club with dental floss hanging out of her mouth because the only way it was coming out was with that tooth! (and she DID NOT eat the samples while sporting said dental floss)

After a brave fight and one good tug......

OUT!

The stubborn tooth DID NOT finally come out!

Oh, and the tooth fairy DID NOT forget to come after all that. Hope she makes up for it a day late.

Friday Fragments - Being famous(sorta)!

Friday Fragments?
Yes, it's Friday. Time to do the laundry, and get all those little tidbits on the line. The undergarments of the week. Too small to wear all alone, but almost an outfit when you put them all together ;) You can see everyone else's underwear Fragments at Half Past Kissin' Time!

  • We grilled and grilled again this week. It's finally nice enough up in these parts to be outside long enough to do it.

IMG_9306

  • The kids are outside! GO! PLAY! Ahhh.. 5 minutes of peace.
  • I fed my hubby his very first s'more. (I know, seriously, what planet is he from anyway??)"Hmm, this is pretty good. I could see where these could be addictive." Seriously.
  • I took 150 photos in two days, just for me. Of the kids. And some kabobs.
  • What's this about being famous? Let me tell you:
  • AM got a part in the Missoula Children's Theater play "Princess and the Pea" Grandma & Grandpa are coming up to see her. I'm really excited because last year she didn't get in and was pretty broken up over it.
  • We made the cut for a photo project for our local newspaper called "A Mother's Love". It runs Sunday, of course, but there's a slide show up HERE already. We're slide 11 of 13. We will receive an 8x10!
  • The photo shoot was the same day we bought the MOO-stache. Which MD is wearing right this minute.
  • I made many Mother's Day photo pendants. You can still get them FOR YOU and also to benefit COLE's Special Care School or Make-a-Wish!!

A Thousand Word Thursday - orange and pink

It was nice enough outside to kidnap PM and shoot some pictures. She's usually a willing subject and I've noticed that lately I have waaaaay more pictures of JC than anyone else. I decided to catch up.

Wordless/Wordful Wednesday - Idol Finalist

What do you do

with a screaming baby?

Pick them up, nurture them, console them

ease their crying and

wipe their tears...

American Idol - baby division

or perhaps shove a toy microphone
in their clenched fists
and take pictures
first.

not so impressed

Not cool, mom. Seriously. Now pick me up.
