We're getting ready for Bailey's 7th birthday! She's going to have a Camp Rock party.

We love the JoBros (Mommy + Joe 4ever) and we can't wait to go to the Jonas Brothers 3D movie.

What happens when your 3 year old grabs your camera?

For those of you not following us on facebook, we figured we better put some stuff on the website. It's been 4 months since we posted, and we have moved to the other side of the state and just got a new puppy!

Here is a video from the other night, Karlynne talking about teeth and singing songs.  We will try to update the site soon, but we are addicted to Facebook!

Our new friend Amanda came over to have dinner with us and little Artiste Bailey had her coloring right after we ate...we're so happy Miss Amanda moved in across the street!!

The kids don't sleep very well. They both get up and want drinks or just to snuggle. I think thanks to nursing them they crave human contact all the time, and are both very tactile and need to rub our ears or faces or arms. Last night as I was cleaning up after dinner, I told them they needed to run 5 laps around the outside of the house so they would be tired enough to hopefully get a good night's sleep. After the second lap, Karlynne came in through the back door, and said, "I going through!". She ran right out the mud room door thus cutting her lap in half. Smart kid.

After the laps, of which Karlynne did 2 1/2 and Bailey did 3, they wanted to ride their bikes.

Well well...what have we done now? Everything is GONE!!! I did too much going back and forth between desktop and laptop and caused some sort of irretrievable error with the index page of the website, so it is all GONE my friends - LONG GONE. I tried ALL EFFING DAY LONG to open my index page. You know, thinking about it now I could probably have used an ftp client to save it, and it may still be there, but after all of this, I'm just starting over. Crying, but starting over.

The rebuilding continues, performed by someone whose last nerve might be on the line along with her only remaining brain cell...after trying to figure all of this out. In the end, I blame Microsoft Vista. I think that's what caused the issue.

Anyway, please bear with me while I perform the overhaul!

Enjoy!

here is a nice set of photos from the day.

Wow - who knew it would be THAT easy! I just downloaded the old file from my server to my hard drive, allowing me to cut and paste some of the content I had on there. Nice. Guess I could have saved myself the aggravation, but never one to want to miss out on having a hissy fit (I am all about the drama), I decided to go with the obvious as a last resort. ...so our original home page will be restored because there was a lot of good stuff there!

So we're still under some heavy construction but at least I can tell Jon I'm not as stupid as I told him I was earlier...I'm sure he didn't believe it anyway!

5/20/08 Updates are underway! Between trying to sell the house and pack, I am also going to try to update the website. Since moving the site to a different host, most pictures have been lost, as well as page navigation. I have to pretty much re-do the entire site, so check back. In the meantime, here is a pic of Bailey and me at her Mother's Day tea at school.    4/12/08 Karly is 3 years old! Happy Birthday Peanut! Party Pictures to be added soon! 3/12/08 Bailey is 6 years old today!! People will always tell you they grow up too fast. This is especially true if their name is Bailey Kathleen. Her mind works like an adult; her words, speech, and reasoning are well beyond those of a 6 year old. She is, simply put, a magnificent little girl who wants to grow up to be a doctor, a veterinarian, and a famous artist. Every single day I am humbled and so grateful that I was somehow lucky enough to be able to be this kid's mom. This morning we woke up to another snowfall. By March, we are so over snow. But Bailey looked outside and marveled at the beauty of the soft flakes falling and was thankful for such a sight on the morning of her 6th birthday.  Once outside, she would have been happy to dive face first into the snow to taste and feel it. She did try but her efforts were immediately thwarted...I know - I'm such a buzzkill!!     There are a few things Karly gets a kick out of: running around without her clothes, making crazy faces at me, and seeing her crazy pictures set to music. Always one to cater to my childrens' every whim, enjoy the following montage titled, "Why God Didn't See the Need  to Give me a Boy Child" .   2/11/08 When Life Hands you Snow... You dip a cup in it and make a snow cone!! Seriously...I've used snow cone makers before.  We have a crank one that gives you a complete workout just making one snow cone.  By the time you've finally cranked out enough ice for one cone, you have to make your kids share it because there is no way you're doing that again!  We also have an electric one that's much easier...but does not even compare to the ease of a deck full of clean snow. Needless to say, my snow cone loving kids are in snow cone heaven right now!! 1/17/08 A couple of days ago I told Bailey she needed to get her beauty sleep. She asked what Beauty Sleep is.  I said, "It's getting a good night's sleep so that you are rested and looking good!  She said, "Oooohhh so THAT'S how I get so cute!"  I laughed and said, "Why, were you wondering why you're cute?"  She said, "Well every time I see Uncle Clint, the second thing he asks me is how I got cuter than the last time he saw me...now I know!"
