Donut Falls

Jake From Summer 2009, I think he's a bit pink and swollen from an allergic reaction to a new Tide scent, but he sure is handsome.

I probably didn't need to crop this picture, but ah well. Ethan has the best smile! Sometimes he sits in the back of the car smiling at you in your rear view mirror, just like this, in order to creep you out :)

And this is my Brooke. She's a ham.

Halloween

Can I just say I LOVED making these costumes... especially the dalmation which I didn't have to make :) The kids had a fun halloween! Walked their boots off.

Pals

I sure love the days when they are like two peas in a pod.

Today has not been so great. It started out great. We got to go to a nice movie theater for free and watch a movie. Thank heavens for nice friends who share :) But then we left, with a short tempered Brooke, off to the DMV. Which isn't close... Upon arrival realized I was missing my Safety and Emissions docs. So we pulled over, searched the car, the kids fought, we headed home, searched the house, the kids fought some more, and then headed to the shop where we had our inspections done. Only to be informed that the owner would be out for the next hour, the ONLY person who could print me off another copy. By this time grumpy Brooke had rubbed off onto a now grumpy mom. So here we sit, Ethan on my back, Brooke in her crib, Jake watching the clock, waiting and blogging :). Hopefully things will go smoother on the next attempt, AFTER Brooke's nap.

Sardines

Slumber Party!! Good Morning Miss Brooke. She loves almost every minute of it.

Graduation '09

Tease me not!! I loved attending Jake's preschool graduation! It was so much fun. They predicted Jake would be a professional bowler when he grew up :)

When asked if he was excited about his graduation, Jake sadly replied, "No, because I'm never going to see Miss Rachel again."

Up and Running

I finally got around to getting this thing up and running. For today, I will start small. Here are a couple pics of the kiddos.

Here are the Kiddos :)

Here are the boys. Jake(right) is now 4 and Ethan (left) is 3.

Brooke is 4 months in this picture, though she is now 7 1/2 months. I'll take new pics and post

'em next week.
