The Easter Monster?


This little art piece was up in the kitchen when I came to work this morning. I THINK it's an easter chicken. Whatever, I like it. And who doesn't love preschool artwork where the feathers are the kid's hands!?

Happy Birthday Sister!

Susna's Birthday is today (or tomorrow, sorry Lorene my memory is going south.) Here's how I envision my big sis and me in our glory years.

I know you can still rock that feathered head-dress missy! Hope your day is as fab as this outfit!

Natalie Dee I Love You

That Natalie Dee, how does she know my life so well?!

A New Guilty Pleasure


Y'all know that TLC is devoted to totally trashy 'reality' programming, right? I am obsessed with "Toddlers & Tiaras" lately. Could these little girls and their mamas be any MORE on the path to teenage pregnancy and life in a trailer park? Thank goodness I live in the Pacific Northwest, where we just force our children to play soccer and hike.

Kill Me Now

I have a terrible head cold. I need this hat. Boo.

Bowl & Pitcher

The big boys have early dismissal this week, so my task has been to keep them outside and busy. Today's excursion was to Riverside State Park to hike around the "Bowl and Pitcher" (so called because there are 2 giant rocks that supposedly sort of resemble them) Here are some pix:

I heart the guy in his Utilikilt!


Liam on the bridge. We learned it was originally built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. So we got a little history into our outing.


Ain't no rock high enough (or rubble-strewn enough) to keep us from climbing it.


We found a little clearing and the boys decided it was a perfect spot to build a fort. They happily collected branches and built for about an hour while Lavs lollygagged in the sun, supervising.


Alex inches his way down a slippery slope.


Whew, he made it to the bottom. Getting back up was a bit of a challenge though!


A 'beauty shot' of some of the rock formations on the river.
