Tagged!

I've been tagged! Mandy tagged me on her blog. Here's the game:

1. Go to your picture folder, or wherever you store your photos.
2. Go to the 6th folder, and select the 6th picture.
3. Post the picture and tell the story that goes along with it.
4. Tag your friends, then post a comment on their blog letting them know they've been tagged!

I'm relieved that the picture wasn't the under carriage of a car we're selling! Here's the picture:

I love this picture! My little girls cheeks are so kissable! She's lost some of the chunk and I still kiss her all day long. And that smile! Her brother is pulling a face... how odd! ;-) We took several pictures trying to get both to smile so we could send them to daddy who was in Atlanta working. Whenever I start to feel homesick I remember how rough it was when Mike was commuting and somehow my mood improves. We miss our family and friends but love that we get to have dad home for dinner!

Now I choose 4 friends...

1. Ginger
2. Elizabeth
3. Katherine
4. Heather

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

I had a wonderful birthday. I'm so grateful for wonderful family and friends that let me know they were thinking of me. My amazing mom came into town to watch the lil' ones while Mike and I went away for the night. We are so glad she came to play with us and the kiddos had a great time with Grandma!

Mike and I went to Helen (small German town in north Georgia) and had a good time. Mike also made my favorite chocolate cake. It's been a great weekend!

Sebastian didn't want to take his picture with me! So, not only does he wipe off my kisses but now he won't take a picture with me? Seriously! I think it had less to do with me and more to do with the camera. I hope!! ;-)


Kenzie, on the other hand, started saying cheese before dad could grab the camera! Love these kids!!

the Grinch

mom:: "time for bed buddy. we can watch one Christmas show then pj's. how about the grinch?"
lil' man: "can we watch the hairy grinch?"
mom: "no. you can watch the cartoon one."
lil' man: "but i want to watch the hairy grinch!"
mom: "why's that buddy?"
lil' man: "cause it's longer. and i'm not ready for bed."

mom: speechless. yet again.

Santa

lil' man: "Mommy, I don't want Santa to come to my house."
mom: "Why? He always brings such great surprises!"
lil' man: "Because we don't really know him and we shouldn't let people we don't know inside our house."
mom: "What if he leaves the presents and Mom and Dad bring them inside the house?"
lil' man: "Should we take things from stranger danger?"

Sharing

lil man: "what are you doing with all those oreos dad?"
Dad: "I'm going to eat them."
lil man: "oh. do you want to share them?"
Dad: "I don't know how to share."
lil man: "well, you give me one and I put it in the milk then I eat it. That's sharing"

How do you argue with that?

for lil'jean

It was 76 degrees today in Atlanta so we joined some friends for an outing at the zoo. The panda had a baby who is 70 days old today (so he can now see) and weighs 6 pounds. He's still quarantined so you can only see him by video. These are for you Lil' Jean- we miss you!

go Illini!
