Meet my daughter...

She can light up a room.

Loves to run around naked and has even learned how to take her own diaper off...can you say T-R-O-U-B-L-E.


Loves to sit on or in anything and tries to buckle herself in. Yes, that is her baby doll carrier and yet she thinks she should sit and ride in it as well.

Loves to brush her teeth and get in mommy's make up when mommy is not looking.

and this is what happens when Sissy gets in mommy's make up. It ends up on Sissy's face, hair, eyes, and on the floor.

She is spunky, sweet, loving, strong-willed, unpredictable, loves to make messes, fearless, persistent, can be such a handful...but is so darn cute. Will affectionately calls her "pretty gurl" or Sissy while we call her diddy girl, diddy, sissy, pretty girl, or..every now and then...not often...Abby. Poor thing...I am not sure she even knows her own name.

Random pictures I found on this memory card...

Our momma-son date to go see Toy Story 3

Sissy learning to walk

Abby army crawling

A walk through memory lane.

Summer Yuck

Both the kids have the summer yuck. Fevers, coughs, and whiny-ness. They either walk around aimlessly or lay on the couch. Typically whatever Will does...Sissy does. It is monkey-see-monkey-do around here.....even with sickness.

Our friends Tracy and Sadie

Here are some pics from our most recent visit with Tracy and Sadie. It took the girls a few minutes to warm up but then...as you can see...they grew quite fond of one another. We are lucky to have them in our lives.

One of our favorites..

Fat Jimmy's is undoubtedly one of our favorite pizza places and let me count the ways...

1. It is a full menu pizza buffet. Unheard of.

2. It offers the Tito...our favorite pizza. It has chicken, ranch, and Franks Hot sauce. It is DEE-Lish!!

3. It offers warm chocolate chip cookies for when you are done stuffing yourself full of pizza and salad.

4. There is a chalk wall for the kids to write on for when they are done eating which is great because typically Brian and I are just getting warmed up by the time they are done.

5. It is hardly ever crowded (which does kind of scare us because we don't want them to close).

6. It is very reasonably priced.

I know I am forgetting a couple others but you've got the general idea. Brian even submitted it to Diners, drive-ins, and dives (for all you Foodie Network junkies out there you know what I'm talking about). Here are some pics from our latest trip.

Been thinking...

about this good ol' blog lately. I have even put my camera back in my purse to start taking pictures again. Hopefully, I will get up to speed soon.

Trampoline Fun

Poor little blog....long since forgotten until I was thinking today......how do I post these pictures of Will on his new trampoline since we no longer have a facebook account...and voila...my blog. Now that we are no longer on facebook, perhaps my blog will get a little attention. So, here's a quick synopsis of how the day has gone....

The easy part....getting it set up...now comes the net.



The kids decided it was too hot so they took a little swim while mommy and daddy worked...mainly daddy.

We took a break for lunch and played a quick game of Mario Galaxy. Sissy trys to join in on the fun.

And now a little message from Will

Thank you mom and dad for your mighty contribution to this trampoline. I promise we will be so careful. The kids love it.

Love. Iss
