Here's What We Did Today....

Road Trip!

Sorry, but this is a teaser post...I've got LOTS of fun pictures about our 2nd Arizona Adventure, but unfortunately Mt. St. Laundry is calling & I must heed the call. So until then...here's a hint at where we went....

I'm baaaaaaaaaaackk!

Come on, you know you missed me. ;)

I am now finally reentering the land of the living, finally feeling like myself again mostly minus the annoying drainage....yuck! I guess it is now time to shower consistently, get off the couch, out of my sweats & turn off the tube....I must say although I HATE being sick, it was kinda nice to just REST & relax for a bit. Thanks to my hubby, mom & sisters for taking the rugrats off my hands now & again so I could recover.....back to life, back to reality, back to the here & now...yeah! (who's singing along??? lol! showing our age)

And now I will post what I was meaning to a week ago...my date with little L....

(this is what I get when I ask him to go stand by the backdrop for a nice picture....soooo my son)

For Christmas my sister-in-law K (oh yeah I guess it was from my bro-in-law too...thanks to the "other" K...we love you too), anyways, the 2 K's got the kids each 2 tickets to go to a play. Rock on, what a fun gift! So L & I went to see "Goodnight Moon" last Saturday night. You know the book..."in the great green room there was a telephone, and a red balloon and a picture of the cow jumping over the moon." (betcha you moms have it memorized too--its a CLASSIC.)

We had a BLAST!

It was L's first venture to the theatre & I must say, minus the occasional threats to jump off the balcony ("no son you'd get REALLY hurt." "no I won't mommy." "uh, yes, YOU WILL." "lets just try it." "um, lets NOT!." "awww, ok."), he really did quite well. It was great fun to hang out...just the 2 of us. Wow, my kids are so FUN one-on-one....who'd a thunk it!?!

To top it off we grabbed a bite afterwards at In-N-Out....ahhhh yeah....cheeseburgers, fries & a chocolate shakes. L & I have VERY similar tastes...lucky me.Thanks for hangin with me Bubbalou!

Where's Jen?

I'M SICK!!!!!!!

(enough said--be back when I can breathe through my nose again.)

The Love of a Brother

It's mischevious.

It's protective.

It's teasing.

It's unconditional.

It's unwavering.

It's endless.

It's the love of a brother.

Sisters

Is there is anything in this world quite like a sister? My brothers are awesome & I love them to pieces, but there is just something about my sisters. They are always there for me...they give it to me straight, the cheer for me, cry with me, argue with me, babysit for me & listen to me whine. Love you ladies....you know who you are! Smooch! (sister-in-laws included ;) )After Z was born I hoped & prayed that she would be blessed to have at least one sister to share the ups & downs of life with. So glad Z & B have eachother. ALWAYS STAY CLOSE!
