Elly and I took some tango lessons, thought I would share a performance with the family…

For the sake of updating the site I wanted to post these cute pics of the twins

Both Warner and Reagan are mostly shut-ins at home, they loved being able to run free outdoors for once.

Between Elly’s photo skills and Reagans pudgy squishy cuteness, this shot ended up perfect!

Bailee was like the Beast Master™, She had that grasshopper latched to her shirt all day.

So the toothfairy started a bad precedent that hopefully she can live up to… giving our kids 5 bucks per tooth. I swear Chandler lost 4 teeth within a couple weeks… coincidence? I think not.

That is seriously hypnotic…

Trouble Maker Convention 2007

Another attendee at the convention

A nice relaxing drive through Nanaville, until….

… GET OUT OR ELSE …

I’m a bully, so sue me…

I took some more photos around the house recently, enjoy…

…glad as I can be! Clap my hands and jump for joy and climb upon his knee. Put my arms around his neck, hug him tight like this… grab his cheeks and give him what? A GREAT BIG KISS!

Bedtime is always fun at my house. It’s not chaotic at all. My children never cry…at least not at the same time. That goodness for that!!

Today is Ryan’s 31st birthday. That those of you who know him will get a kick out of this picture. Ryan, you’re the best. Thanks for working so hard and for being the best father I know (even if you don’t do laundry). Love ya babe.

Last Friday we hosted a Harry Potter release party. We played Harry Potter triva and discussed our predictions for Deathly Hallows. For the record, Mike won the game and some of our predictions were very accurate. I’ll spare the details in case you haven’t read it yet. Then, at midnight, we went to pick up our books. I think everyone had a good time…I know I did. I spent the whole weekend reading. I cried many times. Lot’s of death. But, I am very happy with how the story turned out and I am glad that it is finally over. Now, I can get back to dirty laundry and grocery shopping. Whoo-hoo!

» Added by Ryan: Fine! I’ll help you with the laundry, but its not necessary to take indirect shots at me through the blog saying I never help with laundry, which is true, but still… even though you didn’t actually say it I can tell that’s what you meant. I’m not over-reacting out of guilt, I’m just sayin…

For Molly’s 5th Birthday, we took her to Build-A-Bear workshop. That is a great place to go if you wanna drop $70.00 on a stuffed animal. She really had a great time though. She picked out a pink cat and named her Kitty.

Later that afternoon, her grandma Karen took her to the circus. Wow! What a day. She got lots of good gifts, including Aqua Dots (Molly pronounciation: Opwa Dots). She has been asking for this crafty little toy for months now. To top it all off, her Aunt Darlene made her a Plankton the Pickle birthday cake. By the way, Plankton is not actually a pickle, he’s a plankton, but Molly refuses to believe that.

I was browsing through our blog this morning and I realized that there aren’t any posts about Molly. She truly is the middle child. I intend to correct this oversight today. We love Molly and we want everyone to know how awesome she is.

Molly is an artist. She will spend hours drawing, cutting, taping and gluing if I’ll let her. She also has a really good sense of humor. At the tender age of 5 she can already crack jokes and sass me in a way that just makes me laugh. She is starting school in another month or so and she is thrilled! She has been asking when she can go to school for the last year. I kept telling her that she couldn’t go to school until she was 5 years old. So, the morning after her birthday, she asked “Am I going to school today?” TOO CUTE!

Here is a strange and interesting picture she took of herself. I love it because of the artistic value, but I’m certain that I should be embarrassed. The crumbs on the floor and the toy rat really add to the picture, don’t you think?
