Peas, Please!...

The girls have been very sick this week. They are definitely on the mend as of this morning. But the most awesomely, horrible thing has happened; Gia has lost her voice. I can't remember either Sophie or Ceci being hoarse as a baby as it is pretty pathetic. But having Gia be without a few octaves has made this illness a tiny bit more tolerable.

We Washed The Car...

As you can tell my car was really dirty! And notice, some jerk hit my bumper at Lowes.

We Made A Costco Run...

Apparently I was pretty thirsty.

Outtakes...

I think that I love outtakes more than the perfect pictures. Each one of these made me laugh for one reason or another.

Looking at the picture of us all I amazed at how big our family looks.

Wes, however does not like the funny pictures. It makes him a touch violent.

*no logs were hurt in the making of this blog.

A Real Live Boy...

This past weekend was a sighting of the rare male cousin. Further proof that we do occasionally spawn boys. We would probably have more boys if we were promised that they would be this cute!

This is Gia. She is not a boy. But I thought this picture was cute and didn't have anywhere else to share it.

Cousin Time...

The girls bonded over Barbie and the Three Musketeers.

We're Not Twins...

Although they look like they good be.

Lookin' Good Ladies...

So Sophie and Ceci were dressed and looking good. Obviously Gia and I were not. These days 50% isn't so bad!

Ceci's New Tutu...

Ceci's BFF brought her a fabulous rainbow tutu. Lucky girl!

Meet Fred-Bob...

Nice Day For A Walk...

Pout-y...

to happy. Just that fast!

Our official 12 years together picture.

I swear they did that on their own.

Our Halloween...

We posed for pictures.
We went to an awesome neighborhood party. Followed by trick-or-treating.

And home to hand out candy.

Daddy's Night...

Apparently Wes made Ceci do all of the work. I was a little surprised by this picture.

Ceci's best friend. They adore each other. Her Mom and I talk about how we both use the other as motivation to get them to school.

Daddy's Night is a big deal at Preschool. Wes is an old pro having gone three years in a row and twice last year.

The Old Days...

This is when we went to Maui in September 2004. Weren't we young and carefree with only one kid? Wasn't Sophie cute at 1? Doesn't she look like Gia? I really need to go back.

Wes has been switching the pictures over to a new computer and gave me access to all of these old pictures. I have a feeling that I am going to be wasting a whole lot of time looking at old pictures.

Fall Back...

So we meet again.

I swear Jon did not have beer with breakfast.

I'll get you yet.

We actually made it to out to eat breakfast last weekend. As it was a very classy place, Sophie and I still managed to sneak a few pictures.

Officially Big Girls...

We finally moved the girls out of their five-point car seats. They are so thrilled. I am thrilled to not have to move two heavy car seats around.

I'm just like Pioneer Woman.

Typical Saturday Night...

Gia was wide awake when we started.

Wes and I were watching the eagles but all Sophie could see was a great big F.

Looking at foreign lands.

Mom's water tower.

We did not stop moving in fear that she might wake up.

We had to work off the candy from the night before. So we headed out for a good walk.

Dinner Theatre...

Gia won a meet-and-greet with the lead actor after the performance.

While Sophie's Away Version 3...

The best part is that this was all on Sophie's blanket.

Then Babyzilla attacked.

Who Was That Masked Girl?...

I'm so not impressed.

In The Land Of Nod...

The girls did a little Christmas shopping in bed last night.
