"I want yoguuurrrrt"

Well, that's what he would say if he could talk. What he actually said was: "wwaahhhhhmmuugghhhhhhh!!!!"

This was immediately followed by his head being thrown back, accompanied by a loud wail, then banging on the fridge door. One year olds are so entertaining.

Bite???

What the heck is this??? I put Andrew in the tub this morning and noticed this on his back. It looks like a mosquito bite, but in the middle of winter??? It doesn't seem to bother him though, wonder what it was. Hmmm....

Where's your mouth?

Andrew, showing off his newest trick.

We really need the Captain Underpants pack!

Seth and Jonah pooling their money to buy something from the book order.

Make a wish

We had a little family party for Janessa this evening. Here she is blowing out the candles on her mermaid cake.

4 years old

Janessa turned 4 today, so I took her to Build A Bear. She had to have the pinkest, sparkliest bear she could find. She named her Rylie. I can't believe she's 4! I love you Nessa! Love, Mom.

Sleepover Girls

Cass is having a sleepover tonight with her friend.

My crazies

I couldn't pick just one tonight, these were both so funny. Andrew was in his pack-n-play, smooshing his face against the netting. The kids thought it was the funniest thing, so they were hootin' and hollerin', which got Andrew to do it more because he just loves having an audience. You can't really see his face very well through the netting, but he was acting so crazy! We were all just rolling, we were laughing so hard.

Working Hard

This is actually from yesterday, I just didn't get it posted.

1.23. 08

Seth, concentrating on his report.

Sick :(

Poor Andrew. He's been so clingy all day. No fever though, and he ate just fine for me, but he just wasn't acting like himself. Tom came home early with a bad sore throat, so I sent Andrew with him to the after hours clinic......

Both of them have strep. Plus, Andrew has double ear infections. My instinct was right on. Poor baby. :(

My Little Southpaw

She had to color before heading to bed tonight.

Purple crayon only, of course.

Catching up with the last 8 days

1.20.2008

Taken just after midnight, and a tad blurry, here are all the suitcases ready to be taken off the ship.

1.19.2008

This day was spent at sea, sailing back to Port Canaveral. We had such a great group at our dinner table, that none of us wanted to separate after the meal. We would all go to the show together, or walk around, or play cards. This was our last night together, so it was kind of sad. :( What a wonderful way to meet lots of people! We were so lucky to have such nice people at our table.

1.18.2008

We spent this day exploring the ruins in Tulum. I took way too many pictures, so I had a hard time choosing one, but I love the corner of this building. Can you see the face?

1.17.2008

Snorkeling in Grand Caymen. Soooo fun!

1.16.2008

Walking onto the ship after Ocho Rios. Most of my pictures from this day were taken with an underwater camera that hasn't been developed yet. I thought this was a nice picture of RCCL's Mariner of the Sea.

1.15.2008

My view at Labadee. Aahhhh..... heaven.

1.14.2008

Our first full day at sea. This is the front of the ship.

1.13.2008

Here we are during the lifeboat drill. This is on the first day, even before we left the port. It was actually kinda fun, we were joking and laughing with all the people around us.

My Baby

I'm gonna miss this smooshy face!

This is my last daily picture for 9 days. Tom and I are leaving on our cruise early tomorrow morning. I'll catch up when I get home by posting Cruise Pictures. Yay! But someone please tell me, how am I going to leave this little face.....

Seth's favorite move

This is Seth doing a "stall" that he learned in a hip hop class last year.

Upside Down

Cassidy's getting ready for her tumbling class tonight.

A little backbend, anyone?

Future Quarterback

Andrew LOVES any kind of ball. He saw the football as we were coming in from taking the kids to school this morning. He's been carrying it around ever since. I gotta say, he has a pretty good arm. That kid can throw far! He's quite accurate, too. What's funny is when he grabs a diaper (yep, a used one) and chucks it.

Perfect spiral every time. :)

ffffrreeeeeezzziiiinnnnnggggg

The kids are always *freezing* in the morning, so they like to sit by the fireplace to get warm. I can have the thermostat set way high, have the fire blazing, and dress them in warm layers.... no matter what they are always freezing!

My Joe

I wanted to get a candid shot of him playing,

but he got all self conscious when I

aimed the camera at him.

My Twins

Okay, I know I described this as being a documentation of crazy things that my kids do. Well... here are 2 of them vegging on the couch on a Saturday morning. Pretty typical around here on Saturdays. Not very crazy, not very exciting, but that's how we are on the weekends. Besides, Cass and Andrew are birthday buddies, twins born 9 years apart, so I snap pics of them at every opportunity.

Sibling Love

Andrew and Janessa. Can't you just feel the love?
