Family Photo Shoot

I dread getting family pictures taken. It's torture! We managed to get some good shots despite the wind. I'm still not pregnant by the way!! So much for being a fertile mertile over here. It was nice while it lasted! :(

Entertainment from a 3 yr. old

Sadie says things all day that are just hilarious! Today she was looking at her legs and she noticed some leg hair growing. She said "am I turning into a daddy?" I explained that girls also have hair on their legs and when they are older they shave it off. Then she asked what shaving was. After I explained she happily said "oh, ok!" I can see it now, she will be my younger to shave her legs.

Then yesterday at the store I was weak and bought mint double stuff oreos. I said "these are evil cookies" to her in the store. Well she asked me the rest of the shopping trip loudly "are these evil cookies?" then today as we were eating one she said "why are these evil cookies?" "evil means bad"

And if you haven't tried one of these evil cookies, you are missing out.

Cinderella, Cleopatra, and a Witch!

I'm happy to finally have something besides JUST princesses. Although we love our princesses too! OK... while I was typing this and listening to this song "apologize", Sadie said "mom, is it to late to apologize?" (never mind if my playlist still isn't working now!)

Happiest place on earth

Here are some pictures we took on our Disneyland trip in May...

Happiest place on earth? yes, but not always...

Audrey on space mountain... she ended up having fun.

Here's the same face, was it really that bad Sadie?

soccer mom

I need to get some new pictures! Well, Audrey and Annelise are in soccer this Fall. Audrey is doing really well. She no longer looks like she is doing ballet on the soccer field when she runs. Thats what happened last time when she was also in ballet at the same time:) She's just so graceful! Annelise is new to soccer and says "I like soccer because you get a snack at the end". She also enjoys waving to us as she runs back and forth. That is more important to her than keeping her eye on the ball at this point, but it's so much fun to watch her!

Miscarriage

Well this isn't the most fun post to read, but for those who don't know I miscarried. I actually had a D&C yesterday. The worst part was the IV. All I ask is that they get it in on the first try without having to work too hard. I always have the worst luck with my veins! Anyway, we should find out by the end of the week if it was a "molar" pregnancy. Hopefully not and they don't think so anymore at this point. Basically that would mean I could not get pregnant for a year! I'm already at least 5-6 months behind schedule as it is. Thats assuming everything works out with the next one. Anyway, I am really bad at blogging...but I do like it still.
later!

Tribute to Adam

This is a great memory of my brother Adam who died from a fast moving cancer last November. He loved family parties and always stayed a "kid" as you see from his hat. We miss him.

Summer Vacation

We had a blast on our trip to Rocky Mountain National Park in July 2008. We love hiking and were over 12,000 feet here.

Audrey was taking this ......

First blog!

This is my first time blogging. There will be more to come soon!

Later!
