WHAT MATTERS??????????

Blake's own little way of saying, "Who Cares." My thoughts exactly half the time. WHAT MATTERS?

Fashion police, We have a crime to solve!

This picture confuses me for a couple of reasons:

First of all, Why would anyone (even a 4 year old) decide this was a cute outfit AND how is she still looking so darn cute wearing it? Do you know what I would look like in a leopard skirt, princess shirt and blue flowered tights ......I would be arrested.

It aint easy being green

A little St. Paddy's day fun. Always fun to find a good reason to wear a big shamrock or rainbow on your face. Eating cake at Gram's to celebrate Charlie's 14th birtday. Happy Birthday Bud.

Friendship is as sweet as strawberries

Mallory and her friend Kylie were enjoying lunch with their berry special friends.

Bionicle Bribe

As some of you may have noticed, there were 2 February birthdays but only one birthday party posting. Let me explain myself. I gave Brett the option to either do a party or get some quick cash. He chose the cash. SO, the bionicles are actually his "party" The beautiful part about the whole deal is that he walked away with a 20 spot, and he may have been even happier than all the princesses at Mal's party. We all know how much a party costs. Don't share that with Brett. What he doesn't know - won't hurt him. He already has come up with a plan that he will pick this option every other year. I will have to thank my sister Dawn for this brillant bribe. She has been doing it for years!

Let's play dress up

The invitation said, "Wear your favorite "dress up" dress. We took out the curling irons, the pink angel dust (eye shadow) and the nail polish. We printed up some princess coloring pages and the girls were as happy as can be ...........
We played tape the tiara on Cinderella......
Sang the birthday song to the birthday girl (of course)
But, most of the time we just stood around feeling pretty. Pretty as a princess. More days should be like this!!!!

Another February birthday!

2 weeks later Miss Mallory turned 4. She insisted on going to gram's for her birthday dinner and would have nothing to do with the pair of jeans I had laid out the night before. She had to wear a pretty dress. That IS what you are suppose to wear to a party right? (Her and her baby have matching ones)

She has now entered the world of the gameboy. Here is what I saw while the "2" of us were decorating her cake. I had looked down to place the final touches and when I looked up to ask her how she liked it - This is what I saw. My little helper had been sucked in by the new pink toy. Her brothers are so proud!! I have even heard Blake getting mad at Mal because she won't share her Hello Kitty game. Don't tell him I told ya that.

Another reason why Brett is so gr8888!!!!

Brett celebrated his 8th birthday on February 12th!!! We had dinner out and he used up a gift certificate to the Build a Bear Workshop that Auntie Dawn had given him for Christmas. His new red bear "Bruce" is clad in a hugs sweatshirt and has his own little guitar. 8 years was like a blink of an eye. Just think in another 8 he will be..... uh....yikes....driving.
