Best Night of the Week

Every Thursday evening I get to leave this in Matt's capable hands...

And go see the girls...


Better known as Project Runway Night. Lindsey invites us all into her GORGEOUS home to watch Project Runway. The show finale was last night. We celebrated with curry at our house beforehand, in honor of Kris. My boys hardly knew what to do with all these pretty ladies coming through our front door!

The girls, Melissa, Lindsey, Kendall, Me, Kylee, Diana. Thank you Lindsey for a rich season of best nights of the week!

Guess what you are getting for Christmas!

A few weeks back, the fam headed to Lake Lowell with my INCREDIBLY talented friend Mandy. She agreed to do the marathon that is our family photos. I am so thrilled! She did wonders with harsh light, frosty winds, & wiggly boys. This is the same wonder woman that did these of Parker. Ahhh...yes, so good.

Sorry, if you like that Christmas morning surprise feeling, I just could not wait.

SO entertaining.

Check This!

Parker got some new kicks. He has the same size feet as I do! Man, when he starts shaving, I am going to need a paper bag to breathe into.

Say What?

I present to you, the school pictures of 2009. What happened here? Good thing my boys are handsome enough to withstand BAD photography. Retakes? I think I will pass.

Happy Halloween '09

Parker was Michael Jackson, his choice. He mastered a lot of MJ's moves to pull this one off.



Aden was Pikachu from Pokemon. No, you should not know what that is, unless you are under age 12. And! Get this, Aunt Lindsay put the coolest Roserade (another Pokemon character) costume together! Aden requested this and she totally nailed it!

Matt was Bret Michaels. This was so funny & well received. It was a last minute idea where Matt threw on a Hannah Montana wig & a bandana. I was a fairy, which involved body glitter & the tutu. (excellent ) Parker FREAKED OUT & refused to go out with me until I put on pants.

Collin was an insanely cute monkey.


Kaleb was Peyton Manning. Then he went to a birthday party midday & ruined his costume, so he threw on his Eagles jersey.

That's all folks!

Just in case...

You might know that tonight was the Pee-Wee Championship... under the lights at Columbia High School, non-the-less.

So you may also want to know that... The Eagles were victorious, 19-7! Great game Parker & Kaleb, Dad & I could not be prouder!

Fantastic

"If your art is bad, make it bigger.
If it's still bad, paint it red."

I don't know who said this but I found it here. Blog awesomeness.

I Am Out Of Clever Titles

Our house in looking spooky for Halloween, and not just because there is a naked 2 year old in the curtains. Grandma Ellen painted the porch windows and all the treasures from Aunt Barb's farm, are in the wagon.


Kaleb has been dressing up & reviewing costume ideas. The police mask makes me so ridiculously happy.

I don't know where Kaleb gets it from? :)

The mascot mask came in the mail last week, huge hit at the playoff game on Sat. The Eagles are still undefeated, Pee Wee NFC champions, & have one more playoff this Sat. before the big championship game. Go Eagles!

I have learned that I am not gifted at sports photography. Although, this moment made it easy, Park & Kaleb were lined next to each other for the Kickoff. Not a sports photographer but I am one proud mama!

What? What are these strange creatures? Collin discovered Barbies on game day.

This was a couple weeks ago, celebrating Grandpa Ken's birthday. There have been many fun outings for lunch or ice cream after the games.
