Loving tax returns and new backdrops!

I absolutely adore this picture of Ainsli - I didn't let her keep the Spring picture packet that the school does, so I promised I would take pictures of her when I got my new backdrop. What a doll . . .

pretty good for after-school hair. I can't believe she left it in for once!

Brodyn had to get in on the action too. I'm so lucky that my kids don't mind being photographed, because then I'd have no one to practice on. Here's to the start of our spring break - yeah!

iTunes and pickles

B and I have had a silly morning - listening to music and doing a little dancing. Its so nice to have a little man to dance with (hint hint Ry):) Then during an opportune moment while I was doing laundry my industrious little man snuck upstairs and emptied the pickle jar and brought them down to show me carried in his shirt. Lovely. Nuf said.

my happiness . . .

I love getting scrapbook stuff and pictures in the mail - so when the package is digital scrapbook pages I've had printed plus pictures I'm a happy girl!

Our bathroom is finally finished and I LOVE IT!! The colors and the vanity are my favorites. A definite change from the bathroom that everyone avoided. Ryan is amazing - 3 jobs and he still manages to finish all of this in record time!! Love ya, babe!

This is why kindergarteners shouldn't have homework!

This pic explains what most of my afternoons are like. She's a smart little cookie, but she is also a stubborn little girl, who thinks home should be play time (by the time the homework is done I tend to agree with her)

did I mention?

That our 6 year old got bored while cutting Barbie hair so decided to cut her bangs AGAIN. I thought that we were done with this 3 years ago, but apparently not. Luckily they are growing out fast because its hard trying to fix her hair in a way that hides her bangs. I don't think she will do it again, however, because she has been quite embarrassed this time around. Don't miss the mischievousness behind those gorgeous eyes :)

our drama . . .

We are almost done with the changes we're making in the house. Its a good thing too, because I'm tired of the messes that we are finding and also the ones we are making. I'm loving the changes we've made. Tonight we'll finish off the bathroom and the last closet door.
A lot of things got put on hold or at least slowed down a lot starting last week when Ainsli got sick. Major ear infection with pink eye to boot. Now B has it and is a very unhappy little fella. Friday morning we got in an extra visit to the doctor when B fell off the Bowflex and busted open his mouth in a couple of places. The picture above is 4 days after the fact - it was bad. So swollen and sore, plus the $100 glue they used didn't work, so I'm praying it doesn't get infected. The next day he was up on it again, I guess I should be glad that he's back to his old self?

Thanks Bybees!
