Pebbles and Bam-Bam… Monsters from “Monsters, Inc.”
This year, Halloween included costume changes for the kiddos.  For their school parties (and parade) on Friday, I made them little Pebbles and Bam-Bam costumes to wear. Josh and I decided that their monster costumes would not only be too hot to wear all day, but if you’ve seen [...]

New photos!  We got a chance to take a trip to the zoo this past weekend, so there are lots of good pictures from that as well as some random ones of us around the house.  There are also some adorable pictures of the kids’ first experience with a little baby.  We babysat Craig and [...]

4th of July Weekend

Wow, what a great 3 day weekend we had over the 4th.  The past month has been pretty crazy for our family.  Meg started her new job, which led to the kids starting daycare, and Meg and I had to figure out who was dropping off and picking up Xavier and Ali.  We’ve finally got [...]

Ali-gator, animal-hater

Maybe it’s selfish, but since Xavier is the spitting image of Josh and mimics everything he does, I can’t help but get a little excited whenever Ali shows signs of taking after her mama.  I secretly love when she looks at me with that look that clearly says, “No way lady,” or when she fights [...]

Xavier’s Second Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Xavier!  Xavier turned 2 on Friday, and we had his big birthday bash Saturday afternoon.  We had another great turnout (thanks to all who came ), and Xavier loved all the attention.  We had burgers on the grill, the awesome car cake you see above, and ice cream.  Yes, Megan has outdone [...]

Xavier and Ali’s Birthday Present

Thank you ‘Economic Stimulus’.  Obviously I think the Economic Stimulus Act is a completely idiotic ’solution’ to the slow economy; but, in our current position in life we happen to benefit greatly from it (married, two kids, below the monetary thresholds).  So, to do as we are supposed to do with the money, we [...]

I just put up the frontpage post about Ali’s birthday, with a link to the pictures.  Since I was a little behind with photo-uploading, I also did a huge album with a bunch of pictures from April.  Some of them are from a couple weekends hanging out with Mark and Stephanie, and the rest are [...]

This year was Ali’s first Easter! The kids are still too little to have very much candy, so we kept that to a minimum in their baskets; but we got them a few other things to keep them entertained:

some gigantic bubble blowing thingies
a couple new outfits
some chalk for their easel
big box of crayons (with a [...]

So long Grunt, and farewell, Grunt Jr.

I am a fish killer. An accidental, but continual killer of fish. This is my plight.
Poor Grunt never stood a chance. From the day we brought him home, the little guy just wouldn’t eat. He’d swim around his little bowl, he’d swish his blue tail, and he’d pretend to be interested [...]

FYI, I posted a new photo album here.  It’s just a few pictures from a day of really nice weather we had a couple of weeks ago.  Enjoy!

We’d like to introduce you to the fifth member of our family. About a week ago, we ventured out to Wal-Mart, in a desperate attempt to spend more time together as a family. I’ve been convinced for the past month or so that Xavier thinks mommy and daddy aren’t allowed to be [...]

New Professional Photos Up

Alright, so now that things have settled down (just a tiny bit though ), I scanned in the professional photos we had taken back in November. There are some great pictures, and maybe 2 or 3 more poses that I need to do, but check out the ones that are currently up at [...]

Fist Pound!

Xavier requested his first fist pound today! He has been able to return a fist pound for awhile now; if I held out my fist and said “Fist pound” then he would run up and do it. Since he was able to do that, I would usually tell him to after he did [...]

Are you still there? I know, I know. I’ve had you on hold forever now, waiting for this much awaited and long-promised update. (The sarcasm dripping from my words is directed at you, Kephart. ) I apologize. My life, well, it’s not just mine anymore. My time belongs to Xavier and Ali, [...]
